Marcos and Stefi, Can Limo
This Friday, Februeary 20th, Can Limo reopens its doors in San José with a clear statement of intent: "for its eleventh season, the restaurant returns to the cuisine that defined its beginnings." Marcos Pavón and Stefi have chosen to reconnect with the project’s roots and revive the essence that turned Can Limo into a gastronomic reference in the village.
Chifa cuisine takes centre stage once again. For those unfamiliar with the concept, chifa is the fusion of Peruvian and Chinese culinary traditions, born from Cantonese immigration to Peru in the 19th century. It is a vibrant, flavour-packed cuisine where wok cooking, soy sauce, ginger and fried rice meet ají amarillo, fresh coriander and bright citrus notes. It is balance, fire and freshness. Technique combined with heritage.
That is exactly what guests will discover this season at Can Limo: dishes with identity, bold yet balanced flavours that awaken the palate from the very first bite.
Marcos returns to the kitchen with the same energy and honesty that define his style. His cooking is straightforward and product-driven, focused on clarity of flavour rather than unnecessary embellishment. This return to chifa is not about trends; it is about reaffirming the restaurant’s core identity and strengthening what made it special in the first place.
Marcos Pavón and Stefi launch the eleventh season by reconnecting with the restaurant’s original DNA: bold fusion flavours, daily specials and a cocktail program full of character.
Alongside signature dishes from the early days, there will be many off-menu creations. This is where creativity truly shines. Marcos works closely with seasonal produce and daily market inspiration, allowing space for spontaneous ideas and evolving flavours. These daily specials ensure that every visit feels unique.
Stefi, as always, brings warmth and balance to the dining room. Natural, attentive and welcoming, she ensures that the experience feels personal and relaxed. Because if there is one thing that defines Can Limo, it is its human touch. No pretence, just dedication, consistency and a team that genuinely believes in what they do.
Cocktails continue to play a key role. Expect pisco, carefully selected spirits, house infusions and combinations designed to complement the chifa menu. The bar maintains its high standard, always aligned with the overall gastronomic experience.
Eleven seasons in Ibiza are no coincidence. They reflect commitment, evolution and a deep understanding that a restaurant is more than a menu. It is identity, teamwork and connection.
This reopening is less about celebrating a milestone and more about reconnecting with the essence of the project. Can Limo returns to the wok, to bold fusion flavours and to the culinary spirit that defined its beginnings. And in San José, that is always welcome news.
