About Ibiza Santa Cruz

Mediterranean Restaurant

Best Santa Cruz Restaurant

Ibiza is one of the newest restaurants in Santa Cruz. Our lunch restaurant located on Pacific Avenue in Downtown Santa Cruz is the perfect afternoon gathering spot. Our Mediterranean restaurant is open Monday - Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm. Bring your friends, your kids, your pups. We invite you to stay a while and soak in Ibiza's modern hippie Mediterranean beach vibes.

We have something for everyone -- wraps on homemade flatbread, healthy salads and grain bowls, salty shawarma-spiced fries and playful dips (including our whipped hummus) to eat with your hands. We also offer unbelievably creamy vegan soft serve ice cream and, so we've been told, the best chocolate chip cookies in Santa Cruz to indulge your inner child.

Our gingery chai, matcha lattes, Verve coffee and fresh-pressed juices will give you that much needed midday pick-me-up. When it's time to unwind, dive into our list of fun cocktails, natural wine and ice cold beer.

The Team Behind Barceloneta Santa Cruz 

Ibiza is a mom-and-pop operation, brought to you by the husband-and-wife team behind Barceloneta restaurant in Santa Cruz and the Michelin-rated Contigo restaurant in San Francisco. Ibiza is inspired by the hippie and laid back beach vibes of its namesake island (and of Santa Cruz, our home for the past decade). Our new restaurant's food draws more from north Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean and Levant than our previous restaurants did.* At Ibiza, we are cooking the food we love to eat every day. We're cooking from our hearts and making everything from scratch. We hope you love Ibiza as much as we do.
