When we think of steak, we think of a treat, a luxury. Not being the cheapest of meals, it is often reserved for those special occasions.
Therefore, when we indulge, we expect it to be an occasion. One where the tender juicy meat - cooked perfectly to our preference - delivers a satisfying chew, its rich flavours oozing into the mouth and encouraging that contented ‘mmmmm’ sound.
With this in mind, and we’re sure this is now a scene that's firmly in your’s, we've selected the top dining destinations on Ibiza. Restaurants where respect for the product, the cooking technique, and the expert seasoning combine to bring you the very best in steak that the island has to offer.
Tuck in.

Puerto Fino
Ibiza Town, port area
Puerto Fino opened in spring 2024 and specialises in the choicest cuts of meat from around the world. Think well-aged, pasture-fed American Black Angus, Spanish Wagyu and German Frisona ribeye. They are expertly prepared by Argentinian grill master, Joaquin Debiaggi, on the open grill using dense Mediterranean oak and Argentinian quebracho charcoal, ideal for sealing in all the flavour and achieving the perfect sear.
Along with this, the restaurant features a spacious terrace, comfortable seating, and, best of all, a warm welcome to all discerning diners.
Chimichurri
San José
The owners of Chimichurri are justifiably proud of the meat they have been serving for over 19 years. It is rightly so, the speciality of the house.
From the Argentinian cut entraña to the top-of-the-range T-bone, it is all of the highest quality and the most superb taste, brought to life on their Argentinian charcoal grill.
A simple, rustic-style finca, visitors to Cala Conta beach will have passed this restaurant at the top of the road that leads there. However, step inside and you will soon be wowed by the superb food, rustic charm, and gorgeous garden. With the excellent pricing and friendly staff, it adds up to a perfect restaurant experience.
Casa Maca
San Rafael
With stunning panoramic views of Ibiza Town and the Dalt Vila, Casa Maca is a luxurious and indulgent dinner date. Sitting next to its own farm, the alfresco terrace is rustic, yet chic, perfectly tended to by professional and attentive staff.
Three select cuts are offered here: Ribeye, Tomahawk and T-Bone. Steak officandoes will know their cut of choice and exactly how they wish it to be prepared, which is always executed at the standard you’d expect for an establishment such as this.
If you really know your steak, then their selection of international Wagyu will no doubt be your destination. Choose from Japanese or Australian and in the cut you desire, and allow the rich and buttery flavour to melt in your mouth.
Open all year, in winter, you’re invited to sit by the fire to indulge in more seasonal delights.
Cas Costas
Sant Jordi outskirts
Cas Costas Grill has very rapidly established itself as a place for great quality food. Its meat is a particular standout offering. From fillet to ribeye, much of the menu is from one of Spain's best breeds of beef cattle, the flavoursome Gallega (Galician).
The T-bone or chuletón is very tasty and comes in raw slices to be cooked at the table on a tabletop grill that really adds to the experience. It's also worth trying its speciality of a filet mignon, cooked in salt crust with delicious herbs. Don’t forget the side dishes, which use vegetables grown in the venue's own garden.
Coming here is a delight all year round. This lovely, rustic restaurant has an outside covered area with a bar at its centre and an open kitchen, ideal for a hot summer night. Inside, it's cosy with a homely feel in winter.
Sa Capella
San Antonio
San Antonio's most famous and romantic restaurant, Sa Capella, is ever popular with diners who are instantly wowed by the unique surroundings and medieval ambience. But what has helped to maintain its enduring appeal is the menu, which focuses on seasonal and local produce.
On that menu are arguably some of the best cuts of meat to be found on the island.
Seared over the restaurant's enormous open wood fire by the expert chef, before being finished to your taste in the Josper oven. It’s then served with an option of side dishes. Whether you've chosen the fillet, flank or skirt steak, it's a beautiful dining experience to be shared with friends or family.
El Gallo Viejo
Port d'es Torrent
Experience is everything at El Gallo Viejo, and this long-standing restaurant has truly perfected the art of steak over its many, many years on the island.
This time-invested experience, along with the high quality of its dry-aged meat and flavour-inducing oak charcoal grill, is one of the main reasons to dine here.
90-day aged T-Bone is our cut of choice, and, like other places on this list, you get a hot stone grill to cook the meat to your preference at the table. The result is a rich, almost game-like taste. With a chunk of yellow fat added to lubricate the stone, you can add even more incredible flavour.
San Carlos Bar Restaurante
San Carlos
If you want to dream about steak after eating it, then San Carlos Bar Restaurante is the place for you. The cuts come from the best quality grass-fed beef, which is then expertly prepared by the skilful hands of the Uruguayan owners and chefs.
Within this old finca, you'll love the relaxed courtyard that's covered with vines, as much as you'll adore the simple, cosy interior with its open hearth. The gracious and friendly welcome that's always offered will make you feel immediately at home.
Ca’n Pilot Restaurant
San Rafael
A renowned and much-loved island destination, Ca’n Pilot Restaurant is a meat lover's paradise. Before it reaches your plate, care and attention are given to every aspect of its journey.
From its storage temperature, resting period, and skilful preparation, the meat is perfectly primed before it even reaches the charcoal grill.
Their signature steak award goes to its beefy T-bone steak, but that's not to forget the incredible ribeye, entrecote, sirloin, churrasco, and flank steak.
Every cut is crafted and finished beautifully here; in fact, for those going all in and ordering over 1kg, you can play a part in this. After being seared on the kitchen's own grill, you can then finish it to your liking, on a mini charcoal grill that's placed on your table. How deliciously cute.
Now all you need to do is get yourself booked in for a superb steak supper or indulgent lunch. If steak isn't on your menu, see the wide choice of restaurants in our guide.
