If Cami de Balafia is the place to go for delicious grilled meat off the beaten track, then consider Can Pilot the more convenient—but still amazing—option. Set in the heart of San Rafael, this is a true local fave, loved for its generous portions of flavourful, succulent meat, perfectly salty pimientos de Padrón, and fried potatoes with garlic and peppers. The crowd in the dimly lit, no-frills joint (it’s really all about the food here) feels authentically Ibicencan but don’t be surprised if you spot a few familiar faces: it’s a haunt for music industry insiders and other people in the know.

Top Tip:
Reserve in advance as it fills up quickly and, if possible, request a table on the terrace as inside can get a bit hot and smoky from all the meat cooking. That said, do order the T-bone for two (chuletón), which comes sprinkled with rock salt, ready for you to grill at your table.
