This place was tucked away in Le Centre which is by the cruise port in Ibiza. There is a strip of restaurants and at the very end you will find El Faro. I will begin this review by saying that this area reminds me a lot of the Lincoln Road strip back in Miami where every restaurants hosts is harassing you to get a drink or some food at their restaurant but not this one in particular which is why we decided to check it out.
The menu had a lot of options but with a high price for each item, we carefully chose dishes that we knew were filling but also satisfying. We ended up ordering the beef carpaccio which I will give a 7/10. The grilled octopus which I will give a 6/10 as it wasn't very tender and a bit hard. We got the Seafood Paella which I will give an 8/10 as it was delicious but has a very strong seafood taste, almost too strong. A salad 3/10 dressing was not great and barely had any leaves. Guac and "chips" 1/10 we ended up sending this dish back because it tastes awful and finally a Srimp Scampi 5/10 as it was a little too garlicky for my taste. Overall the presentation was great but the taste itself was underwhelming for the price.
The service was the worst part and I feel like it's a trend in Ibiza as normally in Europe you don't tip. Our waiter was gone for so long and we ended up getting a completely different waiter at the end. They also put bread on your table and don't let you know it's not complimentary so keep that in mind! read more
