Gastronomy at its best in Ibiza

One of only three restaurants on the White Isle to have been awarded a Michelin star, this summer Etxeko Ibiza at BLESS Hotel Ibiza welcomed back Spain’s most celebrated chef, Martín Berasategui, to present this season’s new tasting menu together with the chef Paco Budia. Honouring both Berasategui’s Basque roots and the finest Ibizan flavours and locally sourced ingredients, the visual tasting menu takes diners on a gastronomic journey through both destinations. Standout dishes include lobster carpaccio on an emulsified fennel base; wild sea bass braised with seaweed liqueur; and smoked Iberian pork with touches of oyster taramasalata and mustard ice cream.

Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel, the iconic hotel part of Palladium Hotel Group’s portfolio, welcomes this season renowned chef Roberto Ruiz, the first Mexican to receive a Michelin star in Europe. The awarded chef, in collaboration with the executive chef of the hotel, introduced a very special menu crafted for The Beach by Ushuaïa Ibiza. The culinary proposal combines Mediterranean and Pacific flavours, featuring dishes such as soft-shell crab tacos and grilled sea bass with poblano and guajillo sauce using local produce to honour traditional recipes. Sublimotion, located at Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza, is celebrating 10 years in Ibiza.
