A Hidden Gem for a Delectable Sunday Roast Experience (totally superceded expectations - read on!)
Tucked away on a quaint side street, a mere 30-second stroll from the heart of Santa Gertrudis village, Can Mimosa offers a dining experience like no other.
Upon arrival, one is greeted by the beautiful old finca entrance, complete with whitewashed grand old stone walls, a traditional pine gate, and a roof covered in established vines. The well-kept exterior sets the stage for the delightful experience that lies ahead.
Venturing past the traditionally tiled and welcoming outside reception lobby, one discovers an extensive garden restaurant adorned with fruit trees, sun umbrellas, and well-positioned tables that seamlessly balance a sense of community with privacy. The ambiance and atmosphere of Can Mimosa can only be described as delightful, understated, and charmingly countrified.
The culinary offerings are particularly noteworthy during their (quite rightly over-subscribed) Sunday Lunch. With a range of options, including Roast Beef, Roast Pork, Roast Chicken, Vegetarian Nut Roast, and a spectacular fresh Sea Bream, there is something to satisfy every palate. Under the expert guidance of their new Chef Will, Can Mimosa delivers dishes that are packed with flavor, generous in portion size, and served at just the right temperature. Even the most discerning of diners will be hard-pressed to find fault.
Pedro, the co-owner alongside his wife Holly, has curated an exceptional wine list that pairs beautifully with the cuisine. The well-informed staff, led by the established Laila and Holly, provide fast, friendly, and professional service, ensuring a seamless dining experience.
With a surprisingly multinational clientele, Can Mimosa's Sunday Roast event attracts discerning patrons who appreciate quality over ostentation. Moreover, the value for money at Can Mimosa is beyond exemplary, providing a delightful experience that leaves one pleasantly surprised by the affordability of the bill.
To top it off, the live music is a perfect complement to the meal, further enhancing the atmosphere. Can Mimosa is an absolute must-visit for those who know and love Ibiza and are sensitive to quality and value. The only caveat is that reservations for Sunday Lunches are essential, but rest assured, it is well worth the planning.
Can Mimosa offers a delightful blend of ambiance, delectable cuisine, excellent service, and incredible value for money, making it a dining experience that will have you eager to return. How lovely to have my expectations completely superceded - thank...
Read moreMy wife and I dined at Can Mimosa for Sunday brunch, and it was a truly splendid experience. The live music was soothing and fun, with an ambience that was serene and peaceful as you are surrounded by orange and lemon trees and gorgeous flowers. My wife ordered the juicy brined chicken and I had the amazing lamb with a mint sauce. The side vegetables were fresh and cooked to maintain their nutrition, and the orange/cinnamon cream brulee was out of this world. As an amateur mixologist, I found the cocktails to be precise and refreshing, especially the Elderflower Collins. We were embraced by a kind-hearted staff that made the experience brilliant from start to finish. After three hours, we finally decided it was time to leave, but it would have been easy to spend another two more hours in the space with our new-found friends. There are many restaurants in Ibiza with inflated ratings but serve underwhelming food; however, Can Mimosa is a must-visit. In my travels throughout the world -- 30 countries at this point -- I would rank my experience at Can Mimosa...
