The Giri Café — Restaurant in Sant Joan de Labritja

Don't be fooled. This place is maybe called a cafe, but it far more resembles fine dining than a quick bite and a drink - what is normally understood under the name of cafe. If i could give more than 5 stars i would. At the giri cafe, they are knocking it right out of the park. We sat under a beatiful tree in their garden. Being the end of August, it was the perfect temperature out. There's lots of pretty greenery to look at. the lighting is a bit intense, but the lamps are cute. We're vegetarian. Often when we go out, we're dissapointed and we therefore have stopped going. Not at giri cafe. We had every vegetarian dish on the menu except the risotto and it was all delicious. The star of the evening for us was probably the aubergine. Only three times have i eaten it prepared so well. It just melts in your mouth. The bill came to about 200. In our eyes, that was completely fair since four people ate and drank to their hearts content. Plus, you're sitting in a beautifully designed and manicured restaurant with plenty of delightful staff looking after you, including a very personable maitre d'. And you're on ibiza. You could spend a whole lot more for a much less enjoyable evening on this island, god knows. Don't skip this place. Have dessert, too. You won't regret it. Bring deet though, or the mosquitos will eat you alive. That problem is completely normal on ibiza, and has nothing to do with this restaurant in...

We are a little disappointed about our experience tonight. Amazing setting, incredible first impressions, wonderful reviews, all so promising. Granted, we were one hour late for our reservation, but we did call and email ahead as much as we possibly could to keep the restaurant updated on our situation, but for that will take some of the blame here. However… we had to ask twice for cocktails, ask three times for water, after we had been seated ask for a food menu… and then a wine menu. I just felt nothing was forthcoming and as the customer we were constantly chasing for what should be standard customer service in a restaurant. Don’t get me wrong, the food was lovely, the setting surpassed all expectations, but after paying for the bill (and tipping) to then ask if a taxi could be ordered (as were in the Ibizan countryside, paying premium prices) I thought this would be done for you without an issue. I didn’t expect to get a number on a napkin and told that their WhatsApp wasn’t working so we had to order the taxi ourselves. When paying prices like this (which we have no problem doing if we feel it is worth it) you expect to be looked after, and to be honest we both left feeling a bit aggrieved and wondering where else we could have gone for our last memorable...

To make it short because they have already wasted my time:

Reception - as friendly as a robot Drinks - cocktails were good Food - starters were ok, main courses with no truffle in the risotto and the second main course was the worst for a long time, sauce bitter and sticky, carrots raw (not cooked at all!) Did anybody taste the sauce, as it should be, or check the carrots. Come on they were RAW! Service - talking with the cool headsets they' ve had was much more important then talking to the guests. GUY'S (that is a word they use very often) thats rude. If you are talking to the "guys" who are paying your life be polite, be nice. Nobody asked us, at no time if we were satisfied or just fine. They only asked us if we are ready. Our plates were full of food and nobody asked us why we left so much food on our plates. Because they don' t care.

I don't care if the season was hard or what ever, I've payed the same money as somebody at the beginning of the season.

We can't recommend this restaurant at all. We spended not just a lot of money, we wasted life time which...
