From the beautiful Cala Nova, Es Fumeral offers a unique culinary experience that combines tradition, modernity, fire and smoke. With fresh, local ingredients of the highest quality, each dish is a celebration of the authentic flavors of the island. Its cozy atmosphere, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and rustic décor, creates the perfect setting to enjoy an unforgettable meal. From the exquisite tapas, such as the ensaladilla (salad), to the carefully prepared main courses, such as the grilled fish, the restaurant promises an experience that will delight your senses.
At the kitchen’s helm is Alberto Pacheco, a chef of Ibizan origin whose culinary concept is based on two fundamental elements: fire and the sea. This approach offers a gastronomic journey where grilled fish and seafood are the protagonists, complemented by characteristic Spanish dishes. Thanks to his distinctive touch, Es Fumeral’s menu becomes a unique experience for gastronomy lovers.
We talked to him about his worldview:
Where did your culinary concept based on fire and the sea come from?
It came from the Estimar restaurant in Barcelona. Its chef, Rafa Zafra, is my mentor and the person who has taught me the most about this trade. This menu is clearly inspired by his own.
How can your patrons see this concept embodied in the dishes?
In the grilled fish, clams, shrimps, mussels… Fumeral means a “duct for the smoke from a stove or chimney”, and we try to have that aroma of fire and sea in 70% of our dishes.
How important is local produce in your recipes? Which of the island’s raw materials are the tastiest?
Offering the diner fresh and artisanal produce makes all the difference in a dish. Among the best are John Dory, grouper and lobster. At Es Fumeral, we try to do as little to the fish as possible, cooking the whole pieces on the grill as perfectly as we can.
What do you think is the most special thing about the experience at Es Fumeral?
First of all, Es Fumeral is not a beach club where they serve sushi trays; we are in one of the most beautiful and authentic areas of the island, surrounded by a natural environment where you can enjoy the sound of nature and the sea while enjoying authentic Mediterranean cuisine that works with the local produce.
We encourage you to discover the authentic taste of Ibiza in this charming establishment.
