Nobu
The Japanese restaurant that became a worldwide phenomenon reached Ibiza's shores in 2017. Located on the bay of Talamanca in the hotel of the same name, Nobu Ibiza Bay is the restaurant that still maintains its position of eminence with its renowned classic dishes such as Black Cod Miso and Rock Shrimp Tempura. With a magnificent bay view, be reminded of the restaurant's strong connection to the freshest of fish.
Sa Punta Ibiza
Fine Mediterranean cuisine, combined with possibly the most extensive wine list on the island and a fabulous view across the bay of Talamanca towards Ibiza's old town. Sa Punta Ibiza equals an evening of pleasure with some incredibly beautiful and delicious dishes that will stay in your memory. The five-star service is laid-back and complements the cool vibe and elegant diners.
Izakaya
A relatively new kid on the block, the cuisine at this place is Japanese with a South American twist. Adjoined to the Sir Joan Hotel, the Izakaya restaurant is as gorgeous as is the food which is both delicate and delectable. The corn tempura is out of this world as are the beef tatakis and tenderloin or the wasabi lobster - in fact, everything you try from its extensive menu will rock your world.

Located right next to the Casino, Heart is a unique fusion of gastronomy and entertainment born from the collaboration of Guy Laliberté of Cirque de Soleil and famed, Micheli-starred restaurateurs the Adrià brothers. Interpreted by executive chef Rafa Zafra, Heart's menu is a truly immersive experience bringing together the aural, visual and taste senses via the finest ingredients and creative performers.

Situated at the deluxe Ibiza Gran Hotel, La Gaia brings top chefs from both sides of the Pacific together under the guidance of head chef Óscar Molina and raises the level of intricate food preparation to new heights.

Soul food with sparkle is how one might describe this steakhouse's food. The menu includes high-quality steaks with sides like parmesan truffle chips and lobster mac and cheese to starters such as an intriguing foie gras creme brulee. All produce is of the highest quality and with a kitchen presided over by a former chef from Dubai's seven-star Burj al Arab hotel, expect great things at STK.
