On the shore of the bay, Rafa Zafra created a place where every dish is a work of art, and the atmosphere is like a dream about Ibiza.
This is not just a restaurant, but a real gastronomic oasis on the southern coast of Ibiza. Located in the picturesque bay of Cala Jondal, this restaurant combines luxury, authenticity and culinary excellence.
Together with his partners, the Argentinean Ricardo Acquista and the Croatian Goran Krstanovic, he opened a restaurant in Cala Jondal Bay, surrounded by pines and pine trees.
The building — the former El Sabinar restaurant — was turned into a simple white house with wooden tables without tablecloths, creating an atmosphere of coziness and naturalness.
At Casa Jondal, you don’t choose a dish – you choose the product and the way you cook it.
The focus is on seafood: squid, shrimp, mussels, oysters, anchovies, octopus, langoustines, dorado and others. Each product can be prepared in several ways: grilled, fried, boiled.
Oysters with a marinade of carrots and saffron, carpaccio of Ibi shrimp, grilled lobster with sauce, seabass with baked garlic, crab with Mexican flatbreads – dishes that fascinate not only with their taste, but also with their simplicity.
For now, customers can choose the cooking technique, and in the future – also the style.
Despite the fact that Casa Jondal is aimed at seafood lovers, the meat dishes here also deserve attention.
On the menu you can find excellent Iberian pork, tender veal fillet or grilled meat, prepared with attention to detail and respect for local traditions.
The meat is prepared simply, without extra sauces – to emphasize its natural taste.
Beach restaurants usually neglect desserts, but not here. Here they have a separate menu with recipes and illustrations, as in old cookbooks.
Even if you’re “on a diet”, try the pineapple with Catalan cream and sorbet – it’s divine. Or chocolate cake, cheesecake or small waffle cones with ice cream.
The wine list is managed by Goran, sommelier and director.
There are Spanish classics, masterpieces from small wineries, French Burgundies, Albariños, aged sparkling wines – everything as it should be.
Cocktails are made by Enzo, a bartender with Argentinian-Italian-Polish roots. There is everything classic: mojitos, negronis, daiquiris. But also author’s mixes on request.
This place is not about noise. It is about silence, bite and authenticity. No intrusive soundtrack. Here they listen to the sea, the waves, the whisper of the pines.
Due to its exclusivity and high level of service, Casa Jondal attracts many celebrities. Such personalities as Jeff Bezos, Bono, Naomi Campbell, Mick Jagger, Roger Federer and others were seen among the visitors.
Casa Jondal offers its guests a unique experience: outdoor dining overlooking the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean under the shade of sails and trees.
The establishment has a separate area with sunbeds where you can enjoy light snacks and cocktails. Tables and sunbeds can be reserved separately, so it is recommended to book in advance.
