Respect for the flavour of every product

Juvia’s gastronomic proposal is based on genuine flavour. Simple, recognisable ingredients take centre stage in dishes that respect their essence: raw preparations such as Bluefin tuna tartare, amberjack tartare or national beef tartare; meats including beef tataki, US skirt steak and acorn-fed Ibérico pork secreto; and mostly local fish such as sardines, Formentera squid and the catch of the day, cooked in the oven or on the grill.
Italian pastas are another temptation on the Juvia menu. Fresh pasta calamarata with tomato, buffalo mozzarella emulsion and basil; homemade raviolo filled with ricotta, aubergine and swordfish; seafood rigatone with chilli and basil; and paccheri Goloso are among the most recommended options.
A restaurant with the soul of a chiringuito
Juvia also has the soul of a chiringuito, with a varied cocktail menu that includes a signature selection designed to awaken the senses. Palomito 26, Higo Mediterráneo, Ses Illetes Martini and Humo de Cereza are among the standout creations, alongside classic cocktails, sangrias and alcohol-free proposals.
Everyone can find a little indulgence, whether to extend the after-lunch moment or enjoy a drink at sunset. There is also a snack menu with baos, croquettes, baby squid and hummus, among other options. A place to discover in es Pujols.
