Descubrimos los paraísos gourmet imprescindibles donde saborear este verano en Ibiza

Humans inevitably tend to choose; perhaps this is why we laugh whenever our parents say, “I don’t have a favorite; for me, they are all the same” when we ask who they love the most. Well, in this atypical summer, EDDK Magazine has bet big, has put the cards on the table, and has discovered the best restaurants in Ibiza where to give free rein to a complete gastronomic experience. You can get comfortable, unbutton a button or uncork a good wine; here are our must-dos. Warning: this is a declaration of love.

ROTO: the only place in Ibiza where you can ‘taste’ every sunset at the best rhythm.

If there is a restaurant and leisure space in Marina Ibiza that transmits in every detail the authentic history of the island, that is ROTO. The one that has emerged as the undisputed name of this summer 2021 on the white island offers a unique experience. From the high quality of its dishes to its intoxicating and fun atmosphere, in ROTO Ibiza, attention to detail is a maximum achieved. Located a few meters from the Sea, it takes advantage of the freshness that is born in the waves and ends up crowning each dish. Seasonal ingredients allow him to create unique presentations, striking and full of flavor, that promise to become real hits of the summer.

ROTO IBIZA

The journey begins with an unforgettable melody: Hey, Jude. To the rhythm of these chords, ROTO discovers exclusive starters such as the Rotomaki Roll or the Caviar Imperial Caspian Oscietra. It continues to the sound of Stairway to Heaven. A classic that announces the arrival of authentic explosions of flavor, such as the Carabinero Croquettes with Kimchi mayonnaise or the Red Tuna Tartar with grilled avocado. And let the party begin! Great hits like Good Vibrations, Another Brick in the Wall, or Walk on the Wild Side play in the background. The usual soundtrack that ROTO brings back to life with a different twist. As he does with his dishes. This is how delicacies such as black cod with miso and baby eggplants, ROTO style Galician Blonde Steak Tartar with toast and straw potatoes, or the delicious lobster tempura with tartar sauce are born.

Bibo: innovation and gastronomic creativity on the shores of the Mediterranean with Dani García’s seal of approval

Chef Dani García lands on the beautiful island with a single purpose: to revolutionize the gastro offer on the shores of the Mediterranean. The BiBo restaurant, which has already conquered Madrid, Marbella, Tarifa, and Doha, arrives on the island in the pop-up format as the new must-visit this summer. Located in the bowels of the Hotel Nobu Bay Ibiza, BiBo offers an informal and relaxed bet on the beach of Talamanca. As in the rest of the restaurants, BiBo Ibiza Bay will submit a proposal that combines the imagination and creativity of the chef from Malaga with the concept of a brasserie, tapas, and steak house. In this way, the new headquarters of the most traveled project of the Dani García group disembarked on the island, positioning itself as the unique meeting point for locals and visitors.

bibo-ibiza

As a novelty for this new opening, Dani García has created, with Abril Chamorro, a Mexican chef with a long trajectory in the group, a new menu section inspired by his roots. This will be full of fresh flavors and nuances capable of transporting you to the streets of Mexico with street food-style recipes. As for the menu, it brings together dishes that Dani García’s gastronomic memory has accumulated thanks to his travels, inside and outside our borders. He also pays tribute on several occasions to his mentor, Joël Robuchon, who has inspired several of his culinary creations. Thus, this new opening will allow the Ibizan public to taste the most iconic dishes of BiBo. Some sea bass tacos?

BIBO-IBIZA-NOBU-IBIZA-BAY

Enjoy the emblematic salad with quail eggs overlooking the bay of Talamanca, or “shake hands” with the creamy ink croquettes. Our star dish, without a doubt, is the glazed eggplant with fried bimi, one of BIBO’s novelties only available in Ibiza!

IT Ibiza: Italian essence with cultural dyes from Ibiza

Opposite the Marina Botafoch Marina is the restaurant IT Ibiza, a culinary idyll between Spain and Italy sealed under the approval of two Michelin star chefs, Nino Di Costanzo. It Ibiza represents the founders’ unique vision of combining carefully selected music, the finest Mediterranean cuisine, and contemporary interiors in a unique setting. At IT Ibiza, they go out of their way to pamper and care for the food and diners. They have managed to transmit a working philosophy to their entire team, resulting in exceptional service. With restaurants in Milan, London, Porto Cervo, Mykonos, or Tulum, IT Ibiza once again consolidates the quality guarantee of the seal.

Sitting at the IT Ibiza table and admiring priceless views of Dalt Vila is a real privilege. Remember how lucky we are to enjoy a summer in Ibiza thanks to proposals like this. Trusting the professionals at IT Ibiza will make you realize that tastes and preferences when it comes to eating always depend on the quality of what they offer.

And the menu enhances the Italian culinary tradition with timeless dishes such as the most classic and iconic Spaghetti ai 5 Pomodori, which is a sample of how, when the raw material is excellent, it is not necessary to add frills. Be sure to try their meat or fish proposals, as the fresh product of Ibiza is noticeable in every dish: cod tempura, sea bass tartar, or wagyu with beet are just some of the delicacies that run through their menu. And as a novelty of this 2022… The caviar pizza!

Sounds good. Can you imagine, moreover, accompanying such a feast with a selection of more than 350 wines from the best Spanish, Italian, and French references or toasting with the best champagne or cava from their cellar? Everything is possible here, in It Ibiza. If you want access to priority reservations and unique advantages, do not hesitate to contact EDDK Premium.

ME Ibiza: Ibizan character and the glamour of signature cocktails in its new Kwänt by the Sea

The legendary hotel ME Ibiza is constantly searching for the formula for happiness every year. It seems to be succeeding, but it brings a different touch every summer thanks to its pop-up and new international gastronomic proposals. This year it has been thanks to Kwänt by the Sea: directly from the Mayfair district of London, in the form of incredible signature cocktails.

The prestigious Erik Lorincz sets out to offer delicious cocktails full of flavor while the Ibizan sunset gives way to its infinite night. His Wimbledon cocktail, made with vodka, strawberries, rose water, and meringue, has become a must for all lovers of the most innovative flavors and fun.

Not only that but the gastronomic experience is combined with a menu of cuisine designed specifically for Erik Lorincz’s cocktails. Grilled meats and fish, some salads, and sides of zero-kilometer vegetables. The perfect plan for an Ibizan night that doesn’t want to end.

JARA The Standard Ibiza: great classics of Ibizan gastronomy in a natural environment

The mythical creators of The Standard line of hotels have landed this year in Ibiza in style. A space whose architectural lines are reminiscent of the most traditional Ibiza and an exciting gastronomic proposal from the hand of Jara, its restaurant. Rockrose is one of the most typical plants of the Mediterranean landscape, which can give us an idea of what to expect when we taste their specialties.

The Standard Ibiza

A gastronomy whose main protagonists are fresh and local products. Delicious fresh vegetables and greens are represented in dishes such as tomato tartar, demonstrating their excellent care for the original flavors. Rice dishes and paellas typical of Mediterranean cuisine give way to fusion dishes with another of the most internationally acclaimed cuisines: Mexican.

And if you fall in love with this exotic part of the menu, you should not miss the international cocktail proposals. One of the big winners of the summer has been the “Paloma’s del Rey” cocktail, made from tequila with luma, pineapple juice, and grapefruit. A statement of explosive flavors to accompany one of those Ibizan nights we always dream of.

Its great space, divided between indoors and outdoors, is another reason to visit Jara. An incredible rooftop terrace overlooking the island’s historic center, cocktails, and delicious bites of careful and delightful cuisine is just the beginning of a night to remember. Find out more about The Standard Ibiza here.

Nagai Ibiza: where Asian gastronomy and Ibiza’s landscape come together

A little piece of Japan covered with colorful street art, delicious gastronomy, and a quiet and musical plan on the road to San Juan. This is how Nagai Ibiza rises, an oasis where traditional Japanese food and Japanese cuisine and author fusion are one. Inspired by Thailand, India, Japan, and the Mediterranean, with the magic touch of its chef Reina Nagai, it has established itself as an exquisite tandem for the most demanding palates.

Restaurantes de Ibiza

Its attention to detail in the dishes transports us, almost without perceiving how, to the land of the rising sun; however, it is advisable not to look away from the blanket of stars that covers a terrace full of art and music with the scent of jasmine. The aesthetics between traditional and pop surrounds an evening full of flavor, where you can taste some of its most amazing dishes like the carpaccio of sea bass with black truffle and crispy eggplant or the incredible tempura of its prawns.

Infinitely awarded in the ‘World Luxury Restaurant and Spa Awards’- Best Japanese restaurant in Southern Europe 2017, Europe 2018, 2019, Asian fusion Global 2018, and Europe 2019- it is, without a doubt, a sure value to enjoy a dreamy evening. Not for nothing has its international team-made restaurants in Thailand, Rome, Tulum, and Delhi work by picking up touches of the magic of each place and extrapolating it to other corners of the world – a feast for all the senses!

Las dos Lunas: the earthly paradise of Italian cuisine in Ibiza

Since 1981 this piece of paradise, the restaurant boutique bar Las dos Lunas Ibiza, has been located in San Rafael, between the road from Ibiza to San Antonio. A space where every detail matters and where the Lucarini family tries to turn each client’s experience into an unrepeatable and unique moment. Its incredible terrace and the sound of 80s glam music are just the beginning of an unparalleled gastronomic proposal.

Restaurantes en Ibiza

Art and nature are essential to the culinary experience at Las dos Lunas Ibiza. The organic vegetable garden and the wood-fired oven in which the pizza dough and focaccia are cooked daily can create an idea of how seriously they take to satisfy their visitors’ experience. The homemade pasta is a trademark of the house, and the desserts are a memory that all those who decide to return still keep the following year.

We recommend trying the Etruscan pasta alla carbonara proposal of the two Lunas Ibiza and continuing with their already legendary Scaloppine al Limone. A classic panna cotta that melts in your mouth is the final note for one of the best tunes you can enjoy in Ibiza this summer of 2022.

Cova Santa: a culinary journey around the world

Cova Santa is a place full of mysticism and spirituality. It is located in the heart of Ibiza, among the green mountains of San Jose, and built around a natural cave sculpted by water over thousands of years. This restaurant combines nature, art, music, and gastronomy to create a unique multi-sensory experience. Cova Santa is the protagonist of many legends. Some say that different civilizations and cultures that have passed through there have impregnated the place with cosmic energies, and one thing is sure: magic happens in Cova Santa.

The Cova Santa restaurant transports visitors to different countries, cities, or regions. This way, with its creative dishes from different cultures and traditions, diners are enriched by a culinary and cultural experience. A culinary journey with stops in Italy, Spain, France, Mexico, Portugal, Brazil, Asia, and many more places that you can discover in this restaurant.

Cala Gracioneta: always a good idea!

Although the gastronomic offer in Ibiza grows every year, there are places the usual ones that are a success no matter how much time passes. This is the case of Cala Gracioneta, the iconic beach bar of the Mambo group that reopened its doors in the recent spring of 2022. The intense flavor of the Sea, grill, and summer are tasted in a paradisiacal cove that offers a more intimate space than other options on the island.

Being a standard option in the offer of Ibiza does not detract one iota of variety or possibilities from pleasing all palates. Its Mediterranean proposal begins with a delicious rice tasting, with a special touch that the nostalgic ones have missed a lot. But also grilled meats and fish are trademarks of the house.

There are also many options for vegetarians and vegans, and those who do not want to neglect the line and want healthy proposals. Of course… At Cala Gracioneta, it is tough to resist dessert!

In short, it is an option for everyone, with priceless views in an environment that, for many, is the best of the beautiful island. Perfect for all kinds of events and family, friendly or romantic plans.

Monkey Ibiza: the new Parisian-Balearic paradise

We find a mandatory corner this season: Monkey Ibiza in Sant Antonio’s bay. A gastronomic journey from Paris to Ibiza that presents an elegant and simple decoration in a boho-chic and exotic atmosphere. The passion and affection that the chefs put into the dishes are reflected in their unique taste. Monkey Ibiza is rated in the guides of the best beach restaurants in Ibiza.

monkey ibiza

Dining or eating at Monkey Ibiza allows you to contemplate incredible sea views not perceived anywhere else. And is that restaurants overlooking the Sea in Ibiza are very fashionable. The Pitiusan landscape and the bay of Sant Antonio are unique. Thanks to Monkey Ibiza, diners can enjoy it while tasting a menu of gourmet Mediterranean cuisine to the rhythm of the chords of the guest artist.

The Parisian-Ibizan gastronomy focuses on top quality products and zero kilometer (fresh fish and meat, marinated vegetables, freshly picked aromatic herbs …). The material with which they work is primordial, and the care of the details makes that we can incorporate in the guides of trip and tourism to Monkey like one of the best beach clubs and restaurants in Ibiza.

Monkey Ibiza is already considered one of the restaurants with sunset in Ibiza of reference to enjoy this summer. It has dance shows, live music, DJ. The boho-chic atmosphere combines the exotic with the new. It offers a restaurant and bar service, open from Monday to Sunday from 17:00 to 02:00.

Edén Ibiza: the sustainable and authentic proposal of Hacienda Na Xamena

In the Eden Ibiza restaurant, which is part of the luxury complex Hacienda Na Xamena located on the north of the island, the islands’ landscapes and colors are part of each dish. The concept behind one of the island’s most original and delicious restaurants is about giving nature the prominence it deserves. Every vegetable ingredient on the menu comes from its organic garden, which is noticeable from the first bite.

Mejores restaurantes de Ibiza

Original proposals with mixed ingredients are worth analyzing closely in an incomparable setting. The privileged views of the Sea, and the wild nature surrounding the Hacienda, which is characteristic of the northern part of the island, remind us exactly why sometimes we must disconnect from a hyper-connected world and find ourselves in the middle of nature and with ourselves.

Eden Ibiza proposes a conscious cuisine, where there is beauty and fun but at the pace that nature marks. Seasonality is one of the ideas that most define them, and that is why in Eden, you never know what you will be able to enjoy, but what you do know is that whatever there is, it will be at the best time to enjoy it.

Etxeko Ibiza: a celebration homage to the roots from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean Sea

Located in the bowels of the inimitable Bless Hotel Ibiza is one of the paradises of good food. Etxeko Ibiza, a space dedicated to haute cuisine, transports to the Balearic island the original flavors of San Sebastian with a nod to the locals. This is the first restaurant of renowned chef Martín Berasategui on the island of Ibiza. An Eden composed of two spaces – the interior lounge of the restaurant and terrace overlooking the Sea – where to celebrate avant-garde cuisine through the most sublime products of the Mediterranean. Homemade’ – Basque translation of the restaurant’s name – has become a “very personal” proposal from the chef, who pays homage to the land that welcomes us daily.

I always tell my team that you have to read the book that nature has brought us in Ibiza and from there start cooking with the incredible raw materials that the island offers us.

ETXEKO BLESS HOTEL IBIZA

Taste the most superior raw materials from the Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean, transformed into gourmet bites by the expert hands of Martín Berasategui, awarded 12 Michelin stars. At Etxeko Ibiza, diners can choose to enjoy the magnificent culinary proposal a la carte or through an exquisite tasting menu, a tribute to the roots of Martin Berasategui. The Etxeko experience shines in the caramelized Millefeuille of foie, smoked eel, and green apple; the Tataki of old cow marinated in thyme and orange, cherry pickled chives, and citrus teriyaki sauce; or the grilled hake loin, creamy Thai, mollusks in textures and touches of bloody mary.

Ocean Brasserie&Bar: Touching the stars at every lunchtime and every sunset

In one of the island’s most beautiful areas, Santa Eulalia is the Riomar Ibiza hotel, which we have already discussed in EDDK Magazine. The reasons are its incredible aesthetics, priceless views, and the concept surrounding a perfect accommodation for all types of guests. But its gastronomic proposal in the Ocean Brasserie & Bar is another undeniable reason to visit it.

The interior space, with high stools, an informal atmosphere, and a beautiful outdoor terrace, is worth trying their delicate culinary proposals. Fresh produce, especially from the Sea, and bold bets in the mix of flavors, will make you want to enjoy this experience again and again.

And although it is difficult to choose only a few dishes, the most recommended and successful this summer are some options, such as their three incredible carpaccios: shrimp, crayfish, and black Angus. Also, its grilled sea bass gives meaning to the proposal of being a brasserie of the Sea. You should try their delicious apricot and vanilla mousse in the sweet section.

And a separate mention deserves its choice of drinks and cocktails. With the views of the bay of Santa Eulalia in the background at sunset, its famous cava sangria will taste like glory. And if you want something more substantial that tastes like an Ibizan summer night that you never want to forget, then one of their particular Moscow mules.

Amante Ibiza: a spectacular luxury integrated into nature, for day and night.

An icon on the island capable of shining brighter than ever. Located in the spectacular cove of Sol d’En Serra in Santa Eulalia, Amante is perfect for those who wish to relax in a luxurious setting bathed by the Mediterranean. Perched on a cliff overlooking the Sea and the island of Formentera, this little piece of heaven on earth is surrounded by lush vegetation and unparalleled scenery. Since its opening in 2009, Amante has been awarded several times as the best haute cuisine restaurant in Ibiza and beach restaurant. It is not uncommon to find a restaurant on the beach that lets the landscape do the heavy lifting. Amante has steadfastly refused. Founded on the idea that its food and drink should stand out for their excellence, this space has made a difference.

Amante serves modern Mediterranean cuisine for lunch and dinner. The beautiful views and rustic cliffside setting perfectly complement the elegant and sophisticated menu. Fresh, organic, and local products are represented in their selection of fresh fish and meats on the Josper grill. Only in this way, Amante guarantees a perfect choice for every palate; also, for those who want vegetarian or vegan options, the dishes find an ideal balance between healthy, fresh, and delicious. Among Amante’s star options are the grilled scallops with wild asparagus, creamy peas, and crispy Ibicencan “porc Negre” jowl, also the grilled Formentera squid served with mashed potatoes and Ibicencan sobrasada with sea asparagus. And among the desserts, a granita of organic honey over thyme sponge cake and light lemon cream. Yummy!

Aiyanna Ibiza: charmingly eclectic

In the northeast of the island, on the beautiful bay of Cala Nova, we discovered Aiyanna Ibiza. A promising and versatile space with panoramic views of the Mediterranean and a warm welcome among ‘boho-chic’ touches. With incredible gastronomic proposals for this season, it will undoubtedly be one of the best beach restaurants for 2022. Aiyanna is considered an earthly paradise in Ibiza. 

Aiyanna Ibiza

An innovative concept of the beach restaurant of the Amante group. This is distributed in four spaces that go from a beachfront area for a refreshing cocktail this year with the theme of the anniversary of the first round the world. Then by an outdoor terrace for outdoor dining, an indoor one that hosts art exhibitions, and some live music concerts on Fridays and Saturdays.

Their cuisine, as it could not be otherwise, is excellent: they use organic products, prepare fresh and healthy seasonal dishes, and have a wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options. In addition, they are committed to flavor and the most exotic concept linked to Middle Eastern cuisine. By designing a menu that values healthy, quality food, the Aiyanna team refuses to sacrifice taste. The wine and cocktail lists have something for every guest and are perfect for a super meal by the beach.

Try the duck breast with glazed peaches and a crumble of nuts and coconut as a wink. It is also highly recommended this season to order the delicious cod carpaccio or the sautéed quinoa with creamy flame-grilled piquillo peppers. A concept with a chameleon-like and different spirit that, nevertheless, can maintain its essence. A secret? Don’t miss the yoga sessions with a delicious breakfast every weekday except Mondays!

Restaurant Corso: products of category and originality in front of the Mediterranean sea

A declaration of love for haute cuisine in the form of essential restaurants.

A unique, sophisticated atmosphere with the color green as the main protagonist is what A mi manera offers us.

And that is how Casa Jondal was born, a renovated version of the traditional beach bar. Simplicity and luxury have been skilfully combined in a remarkable space. Here, the chef displays culinary wisdom while diners enjoy a tide that could well bathe their feet. Achieving simplicity and turning it into sophistication has been arduous; however, its fruits can already be harvested.

Chiringuito 'Casa Jondal' de Rafa Zafra en Ibiza | Guía Repsol

Here seafood is the jewel in the crown, the king of the house, although there are options for meat lovers. However, their strong point is how they are cooked, grilled, fried, or boiled.
