Aljovic — Restaurant in Sant Josep de sa Talaia

We were recommended to visit this restaurant by a British DJ living in Ibiza that we met in a bar in San Antonio. Firstly the trip on the water taxi across to L3, Amàre beach from San Antonio was just great! Views of the bay were well worth the €4 each. The restaurant was a short walk away from where we docked. We were greeted by a very friendly young guy who soon realised we were Brits with some Spanish language knowledge, and who at least humoured us! The menu del dia, which just kept coming, consisted of 4 courses. Salad starter, a potato and pork stew, or a rice dish with fried egg, a fish dish or a slow cooked pork dish, we tried one of everything!! We finished with a kind of custard dish with a biscuit and cinnamon. While there, many of the local workers came in and enjoyed the same meal as us. The ambience in the restaurant was typical Spanish, loud, chatty and fun! Locals popping in for tapas of snails, cańa and a catch up. Overall we loved this restaurant, the guy serving us tried his hardest to explain what it was we were eating, using my phone to translate what we didn’t understand. Truly a great experience of the Spanish culture! We loved it! All for the...

Very enjoyable experience.

After searching high and low for a decent local meal whilst on holiday, we found this place and headed here for dinner. Unfortunately it was closed (open till 20:00) so we returned on our last day for lunch and weren’t disappointed.

Greeted with a smile. Told what was on offer. The set menu sounded so good we didn’t even look at the standard menu.

A pork rib, drop off the bone soup and meat filled aubergine for starter. Followed by beef cheek and battered cod for main. Washed down with ice cold beers and fizzy drinks for the kids.

The set meal included a drink, the kids got an ice cream, much to their excitement.

In feedback to other reviews…

Some grumpy old sod complained about the aircon and having the doors open. C’mon it’s Ibiza, you wanna eat inside?

Full of drunk locals? Well actually there was this old fella leaving the place who was a little tipsy. But he was laughing and jumping around like Spike Milligan much to our entertainment.

Lovely place, highly recommended if you want some local grub in a quiet setting whilst feeling very much...

Aljović is a great cozy neighborhood gem with a lot going for it. The seafood was incredibly fresh and clearly prepared with care—simple, honest, and delicious.

Service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the overall atmosphere made it feel like a local favorite.

On top of that, the value for money is excellent, especially considering the quality of the ingredients. It’s the kind of place you could easily come back to regularly.

Not a flashy spot, but one that gets the fundamentals right. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a solid, authentic seafood meal in a...
