L'Apero is on Carrer Bisbe Torres, near the port in Ibiza Town, and it is French in the brasserie sense rather than the formal one. Steak, tartare and small plates, with a volume that climbs steadily through the evening.
It comes from the team behind Pastis, which tells you most of what you need to know about the register: it is a dinner that turns into a night rather than a meal that ends.
What it is like
Small. That is the operative fact, and it is why the room fills and why booking matters. The staff are French, the wine list leans the same way, and by eleven the tables are not entirely being used as tables.
Anyone wanting a quiet dinner in the old town should go somewhere else, and there are plenty of those a few streets up.
When it is open
Monday to Saturday, from late morning until about one in the morning. Closed Sundays. It does not appear to close for the season.
Good to know
Book. The room seats very few and it is one of the harder tables in the port area in August.
Go late. Nine onwards is when it becomes itself.
It is a short walk from Dalt Vila, so it works either before or after a wander round the old town.
