STARTERS FROM THE EARTH IN IBIZA TOWN, SEAFRONT ON FIGUERETAS BEACH | HORIZON IBIZA

At Horizon Ibiza, we think of starters as the meal’s “hello”: they need to be quick, good-looking and full of straight-up flavour. We choose ingredients that can handle the spotlight — proper ham, characterful cheese, vegetables you can really taste — and treat them with simple technique so the produce does the talking. We like to play with contrasts (crunchy/creamy, sweet/salty) so the bite doesn’t tire you out and you fancy ordering another. And because we’re an island place, we mind the rhythm: served hot, just right, and made for sharing to feel natural. That’s how our Mediterranean-flavoured starters come together — ready to kick things off unhurriedly and in the best mood.

To choose well, we stick to three keys: recognisable produce (it should taste like what it is), balance (it should whet your appetite without filling you up), and a special touch that makes you want to come back for more. If you ask us for the chef’s favourite, we usually go for the “MEDITERRANEAN SPECIALITY” — RUSTIC ARTICHOKES, because the grill and the romesco work magic without dressing anything up. For sharing and getting it right every time, TORTA DEL CASAR is one of those dishes people remember and order again. And if you’re wondering “what’s the best restaurant in Figueretas for Ibicencan food?”, our answer is simple: come and try these starters and you’ll understand why. What matters here is that the beginning is so good you’re already looking forward to the next round.
