When news of a super delicious, healthy café in Ibiza travels across the globe purely via word of mouth, the place in question must be pretty special. Passion, perched proudly on the bustling main strip of Playa Den Bossa is that place - perfect for quick bites, tasty takeaways and nutritious snacks alike, all home-made from the highest quality ingredients.
From 10am until 2pm, it is breakfast a-go-go – try the homemade vanilla and cinnamon granola, layered with orange blossom scented yoghurt or quirky twists on tradition, like Green Eggs and Bacon, gourmet scrambled eggs flavoured with pesto, bacon and parmesan served on toasted rustic bread. Then there’s the Miami Breakfast – mouth-wateringly good American style pancakes served with fresh fruit and maple syrup.
Freshly squeezed juice concoctions, smoothies, protein shakes and milkshakes keep the bar blenders constantly whirling and whirring – infused with boosters like wheatgrass, milk thistle, ginseng, bee pollen, Echinacea and more for added health benefits and for the rest of the day, it is anything goes – the extensive menu offers something for everyone, from vegans and vegetarians to meat-lovers and the waistline conscious.
Salads are a specialty, but you won’t find boring iceberg lettuce in this kitchen. Instead, try the Superfood Salad, with quinoa, lentils, broccoli, chicken, feta, tabouleh and toasted tamarind seeds and or the light and fluffy Vegetarian Couscous Salad with grilled veggies, rocket, almonds and raisins.
The Passion burger – boasting 100% beef, melted cheddar, caramelized onion, mustard mayo and bacon - has an island-wide reputation, as does the tangy Thai Chicken Wrap. Falafels, chicken, avocado and hummus are all firm favourites, along with healthy pastas and simple yet delicious deli sandwiches.
But according to our sources, it is the legendary Passion carrot cake that has got the world talking. But don’t just take our word for it – try it yourself. It’s a passion well worth indulging.
