Opening times
Fonda Pepe is the bar and restaurant of Hostal Pepe on Carrer Major, the main street of Sant Ferran de ses Roques, in the middle of Formentera. It opened on 30 May 1953 and is the oldest establishment in the village and the third oldest on the island.
The story
José Tur Cardona, known as Pepe, and his wife Catalina Ferrer Marí opened the Fonda as a place to eat and drink, and the first tourists to reach Formentera stopped here. They built a few rooms, which took their first guests in 1959, and in the 1960s the small guesthouse grew into today's Hostal Pepe.
It remains a place for residents. In 2026 it was the only bar of Ibiza and Formentera on a map of more than 350 bars named in songs, for its mention in "Islas Baleares" by the Mallorcan band Antònia Font.
The food
The restaurant of Hostal Pepe serves Mediterranean cooking, carrying on the fonda that Pepe and Catalina opened in 1953.
