- Eatery serving Specialties from the
Middle East -
 
In the center of
IBIZA island, in a small pretty
village,
Santa Gertrudis, a new restaurant, of
MIDDLE EAST FOOD, has been
recently opened:
Safrà
Ibiza.
The founder of the restaurant,
Moshe, arrived to IBIZA
more than 20 years ago and has been captured by the beauty and the
relaxation of this small Balearic island.
In order to live on the island
Moshe has left his skill as
Industrial designer and dedicate his time to establish his own
construction company:
Casaforma Dinamica, a company specialized in
sustainable construction methods, that has been running successfully
until now.
Due to the crisis that construction is experiencing these days,
and as result of bad planning of the islands development, limitation of
land to build on, bureaucracy, etc.
Moshe decided to add another activity to what he
does,.........something he always wanted to do......Open
a Middle East restaurant.
During his first years in
Ibiza,
Moshe, in
various occasions, already tried to introduce, some
Middle east food,
such as : ’falafel’ Hummus, and
other specialties.
Some of the places where he has tried this, were:
Las Dalias,
a new market on the way to Sant Antonio, and also in private occasions.
Unfortunately in those days, these initiatives did not last. Nowadays,
as Spain in general, and IBIZA,
in particular, became more open to experiencing different types of food,
Moshe felt that times
were ready to open an
Middle East Restaurant.
It is a challenge to open a new restaurant in a small village, already
home to quite a lot of restaurants of all kinds, Spanish, Italian,
Japanese etc., but since nowadays
Santa Gertrudis is rapidly becoming a more cosmopolitan town, it
was ready to have a new nice and small eatery, dedicated to
Middle Eastern food.
Safrà
Ibiza
serves meat dishes
besides Vegetarian
food, something not that common in Spain, being a country of
mainly meat eaters...
Safrà
Ibiza,
with inviting light & modern interior, was opened in March 2009, and was
since then frequented by many enthusiastic guests.
Both locals and visitors enjoy its delicious, authentic dishes & tapas
from the Middle East, all
prepared with the freshest ingredients and served with great care and
attention by very friendly staff.
Families with children and vegetarians are well taken care of, with
deliciously, tasteful and healthy dishes.
