Yemanja restaurant where the view almost betters the food. Dreamily located along the southern rocky-shores of the expansive and glamorous bay of Cala Jondal, Yemanja is the 15 year old sun-drenched pride and joy of the Roig Family, whose equally famed Ibiza restaurant is Dalt Vila's Plaza Del Sol.
An open-all-year sign and five-star, stress-free service are just two of the dining highlights provided by this seaside chiringuito who make, hands down, one of the best seafood Paellas in Ibiza. Let the love affair begin with crunchy bread served with homemade Alioli (garlic mayo), marinated olives and anchovies, followed by a mouthwatering selection from the international Mediterranean menu. With exotic salads, rice dishes, fish of the day served with roasted vegetables, meaty recipes, lobster pots, fish stews and more to tempt your palate, you have excuses a plenty to visit again and again.
Accompany all tasty bites with an expertly selected drop from the cellar (Sergio’s new pride and joy) and no Yemanja experience is complete without a jug of the house special, ´Sangria de Cava´, loaded with fresh fruit, juice and bubbles. This, fellow indulgers, can be slurped down with or without the tasty bites.
Dine inside, outside on the sandy terrace or kick off your flip-flops, join the bikini-clad action and be served at your shaded beach bed – why would you move? We don’t!
There’s a free boat taxi service for those arriving by sea, kitsch beach boutique and those feeling tense (scoff!), can treat themselves to a therapeutic sea-side massage to the chilled sounds of exclusively mixed Yemanja CD´s.
