The Giri Café

Tucked away in the charming plaza of San Juan village, a set of ancient wooden doors reveals a hidden gem. Behind their rustic patina lies a secret garden, overflowing with enchantment and culinary wonders. The Giri Café is famed for its sun-dappled garden terrace and relaxed vibe by day. By night, this Ibiza restaurant is the location for starlit dinners cooled by a gentle breeze carrying the scent of aromatic herbs from garden beds flourishing under the glow of flickering lanterns and moonlight.

You’d be forgiven for going for breakfast, staying for lunch and then coming back for dinner. Breakfasts start with an exceptional cup of coffee, granola bowls, eggs, toast, pastries, fresh juices and more, all imbibed against lush greenery to a soundtrack of birdsong. As the sun crosses the sky, The Giri Café garden casts a shaded canopy across the patio tables and lunch is served. Chefs step into the Ibiza restaurant’s garden to pluck vegetables and snip herbs before heading back to the kitchen to prepare some of the island’s tastiest dishes.

Sharing plates, hearty salads, and daily specials are crafted from the finest ingredients at this Ibiza restaurant. The Giri Café menu includes exquisite plant-based options such as vegetables with vegan beetroot pesto, a tangy avocado jalapeño cream, cashews, crunchy yucca and toasted corn. Meat eaters will love chomping down on the grilled Wagyu burger with cheddar, caramelised onion, kimchi mayo, crispy bacon, tomato and pickles, served with a hefty side of fries. Wash it all down with exquisite wines, refreshing sangrias and fruity virgin (or not) cocktails.

As the sun sets, the sleek bar is the perfect place to start your evening with an expertly made cocktail before being guided to your candlelit table. The Giri Café’s evening menu is steeped in Mediterranean flavours laced with exotic spices and fresh herbs. Start with croaker tiradito doused in lime, yellow aji chili sauce and scattered with coriander and pomegranate. Mains include catch-of-the-day and melt-in-the-mouth slow-cooked lamb with fig demi-glace, roasted onion and red pepper criolla relish. Desserts feature seasonal ingredients, fluffy cakes and other delights, the ideal closer at this stunning Ibiza restaurant.

The Giri Café stands out not just for its beautiful setting and exceptional food, but also for its dedication to creating an eco-conscious dining environment, where sustainability and local produce is a key focus. With ingredients sourced from its own lush garden and local suppliers, every dish is a celebration of Ibiza’s natural bounty. Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely breakfast, a garden lunch or an intimate dinner beneath the stars, this beautiful Ibiza restaurant offers an idyllic setting that reflects the essence of the island.
