Bar Costa — Restaurant in Santa Eulària des Riu

We visited Bar Costa in Santa Gertrudis the other day, and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular among locals. The bar has been around for ages and has a charming, authentic Ibicenco style, with its rustic interior, cozy fireplaces, and interesting paintings on the walls. The menu is quite simple, but that’s part of its appeal—the baguettes are the star of the show. Prices are very reasonable, leaning more towards the budget-friendly side.

However, the service was a bit of a letdown. The staff seemed very busy, and at times it felt like they were ignoring us—we had to call them several times to get served, which came across as a bit rude. Despite this, it’s still a place worth visiting if you’re in Santa Gertrudis, as the atmosphere and food make up for the service issues.

Unassuming tapas place, that does what it does extremely well, but with no frills. The jamon and other cuts are so good. Their bread is the perfect accompaniment. Pair it up with a little house red, and you've got yourself a meal. They are extremely busy, so don't lose your patience with the staff, they have their hands full. But they are pros, so trust that you are in good hands. In the meantime, enjoy the super interesting art on the walls. One word of advice: try to shift the time you eat to be maybe 45 minutes earlier than usual. This way you'll be more likely to avoid the crowds, and you can be sure that this place gets super busy (if you get there at peak lunch time, you can expect to wait in line 45...
