With fresher evening temperatures, no waiting lists and zero crowds, September is the dreamiest month to soak up the historic city&rsquo;s old-world charm. L&rsquo;OFFICIEL IBIZA rounds up five unmissable restaurants in Sa Penya, Ibiza Town&rsquo;s atmospheric waterside fisherman&rsquo;s district.

Best for pasta: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/latanaibiza/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trattoria La Tana</a>
Laidback, lo-fi little La Tana has been hitting the high notes for over a decade. Tucked at the base of Sa Penya on an unassuming backstreet, don&rsquo;t be fooled by the discreet fa&ccedil;ade &ndash; this is one of Ibiza&rsquo;s best <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/food/savoring-italian-elegance-eternal-city-s-culinary-delights" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Italian restaurants</a> and a go-to for visiting DJs &ndash; Marco Carola, Joseph Capriati &ndash; who are missing a taste of the motherland. The ceviche and grilled beef fillet are dreamy, but it&rsquo;s the homemade pasta that steals the show &ndash; the spaghetti alle vongole is arguably Ibiza&rsquo;s best. With great music and seriously high vibes, La Tana is the perfect weekend supper.

Best for people watching: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sa_cova/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bistro Sa Cova</a>
With its cheerful chatter, candlelit tables and serious kerbside appeal, Sa Cova harks back to the <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/the-bohemian-bolthole" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bohemian Ibiza</a> of yesteryear. There&rsquo;s a charming pavement terrace that&rsquo;s packed with a beautiful, international crowd who&rsquo;ve heard about the neat, market-fresh menu, the elaborate wine list and the thoughtful, attentive service. Chef Francisco Guzman skilfully fuses local Mediterranean ingredients with French techniques and flavours from his native Peru &ndash; dishes such as razor clam gratin and Ibizan buttersquash risotto are extraordinarily deft and delightful.&nbsp;

Best for cocktails: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/boodiouibiza/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boodiou</a>
Part craft <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/food/margarita-matcha-the-recipe-for-the-most-trendy-cocktail-of-the-season" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cocktail</a> bar, part gastronomic wonderland, Boodiou has developed a fervent following for its astonishingly adept bar tenders and its fine-dining approach to French-influenced tapas and small plates. Expect contemporary spins on dishes such as aged beef and tuna rillettes in a low-lit, sultry, intimate space that&rsquo;s become one of the hippest destinations in Ibiza Town and a sure-fire favourite with local foodies.&nbsp;

Best for fine dining: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ibizafoodstudio/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taller Sa Penya</a>
What Ibiza Food Studio founder (and ex-Noma alumnus) Boris Buono doesn&rsquo;t know about local ingredients probably isn&rsquo;t worth knowing. After ten years at the helm of his signature Sa Penya restaurant, Buono is a pioneer in the art of locavore eating and has given <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/food/le-39v-paris-where-fine-dining-feels-like-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fine dining</a> in Ibiza a cool and contemporary overhaul. This sexy, sultry, steamy dining room hidden among a maze of backstreets is an absolute classic and arguably one of the best tables in the Balearics.&nbsp;

Best for late nights: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bar1805ibiza/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bar 1805</a>
If you haven&rsquo;t eaten moules frites and sipped an absinthe cocktail at Bar 1805, have you even been to Ibiza? This bohemian Sa Penya bolthole has become an institution, largely thanks to avant-garde French owner Charles Vexenat&rsquo;s passion and personality. With a deep and dark interior, repurposed furniture and a lawless, artistic atmosphere, Bar 1805 is the perfect place to spend the long <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/the-best-autumn-markets-in-ibiza" target="_blank" rel="noopener">autumn</a> evenings.&nbsp;
