yuko Alright foodie friends, are you ready for an Ibizan culinary adventure? I know we all think of the island as a haven for all-night revelry, but we’re about to shift your perception. While the Balearics are renowned for their legendary nightlife, they’re also seriously shaking up the European fine dining scene.
We’re talking Michelin-star quality, creative menus, and breathtaking settings—all under the Ibiza sun (or maybe the moonlight, because Ibiza is known for its late-night dining scene). Whether you’re craving a long, leisurely lunch overlooking the glittering Mediterranean or a formal tasting menu, get ready to savour the best of Ibiza’s gastronomic scene.
So ditch the beach clubs tonight, friends, and let me guide you to the island’s most exquisite dining discoveries. Here are the top fine-dining restaurants in Ibiza.
La Gaia
A historic first for Ibiza – the Ibiza Gran Hotel is now home to the island’s first restaurant to earn a coveted Michelin star. Óscar Molina is a true culinary mastermind. As the head chef across all of the Ibiza Gran Hotel’s establishments, he brings his unique flair and authentic Spanish flair to life. But his flagship restaurant, La Gaia, truly takes things to a whole new level.
A meal here is nothing short of a feast for all five senses. You’ll be immersed in a sensory journey like no other. And it’s all crafted from sustainably sourced, local ingredients (we’re talking zero food miles here people!). Molina has created the most ingenious ten-course Tanit Menu. And don’t even get me started on his 14-course Posidonia Menu! The creativity and flavours are sure to blow you away.
Address: Ibiza Gran Hotel, Passeig Joan Carles I, 17, 07800 Eivissa, Illes Balears, Spain

Amalur Ibiza
For over four decades, Amalur has been at the epicentre of gastronomy in Ibiza! Nestled in a beautifully blue-hued finca in Santa Gertrudis, this legendary establishment has recently undergone the most masterful of evolutions.
Originally named after the Basque goddess of Mother Earth by its former owners Juan Félix Lurrita and Emilio Zurbano, Amalur is now helmed by the renowned restaurateur Francesco Manzoli. From the elegantly furnished interior and striking wall art to the creatively contemporary menu and impeccable service, his unwavering passion for perfection and respect for the restaurant’s heritage is evident with every incredible detail. Only the freshest local produce is used, as Amalur’s high-end cuisine is crafted into visually vibrant, colourful plates that taste as amazing as they look.

Nobu Ibiza
Nobu Restaurant at Ibiza Bay’s atmosphere is so elegant yet relaxed, it’s the perfect place to dine while taking in the stunning sea views. You can even dine poolside under the stars for a truly romantic evening. If you’ve been to other Nobu restaurants, you know they never disappoint. Each head chef puts their own creative spin on the menu based on the local cuisine. You simply must try the carabinero red prawns with shiso sauce – they’re to die for! And the sea scallops will blow you away with their tenderness and unique flavours.
With so many mouthwatering options, choosing will be near impossible. But I highly recommend letting the chef choose for you with omakase. They’ll craft a truly custom menu just for you, with your preferences in mind. But they’ll also add some dishes you never thought to pick, and you’ll be so glad they did! Trust me, it’s the best way to experience the full talent and passion of the kitchen.

Etxeko Ibiza
Nestled within the lavish walls of the Hotel Bless Ibiza lies Etxeko, the restaurant run by chef Paco Budia. Paco is one of Martin Berasategui‘s star disciples, faithfully following the culinary commandments of his mentor in San Sebastian. The dishes burst with intricate textures and are presented with impeccable flair. Martín Berasategui’s stunning cuisine is dazzling, showcasing some extra Canary Island influences thanks to a cornucopia of locally sourced ingredients. These are blended magnificently with specialties from northern Spain, all featured on an epic à la carte menu, and one simply divine tasting menu called “El Viaje de Martín”.
The name “Etxeko”, meaning “homemade” in the chef’s native Basque language, is a shining homage to Martín Berasategui’s regional roots. So do come and experience culinary magic for yourself at this spectacular restaurant!

The View Ibiza
Situated along the magnificent west coast of Ibiza is The View restaurant at the 7Pines Resort. This place truly lives up to its name – as soon as you walk through the doors of the floating, glass-walled dining space, you’ll be blown away by the amazing views across the sparkling sea to the mysterious island of Es Vedrá.
And the food, don’t get me started on the food! Masterful chef Andrés Fernández will tickle your tastebuds with a choice of a la carte dishes or multi-course tasting menus that are absolute works of art. Each morsel is a beautifully imaginative creation, with some cooked to perfection on the high-tech Robota grill right before your eyes. You can even get a front-row seat in the open-plan kitchen if you bag one of the coveted 12 spots at the chef’s table – it’s like having your own private show!

Can Berri Vell
Also located on the west side of Ibiza, in the countryside village of Sant Agusti, is Can Berri Vell. This 17th-century Spanish farmhouse will transport you back in time. With metre-thick stone walls that have stood the test of centuries, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped foot in history. But don’t worry, all the mod cons are still there behind those ancient stones! You’ll be surrounded by rolling vineyards as far as the eye can see. Scores of low-carbon wines fill the cavernous cellar with over a hundred selections of the finest bottles.
Chef Bruno, the culinary genius behind Can Berri Vell, keeps his patrons coming back for more with his delicious dishes that are simply divine. Be sure to dine al fresco in the beautiful blooming courtyard, taking in the charming views of the white-washed church. You’ll probably be dining with a lot of locals too, as Can Berri Vell is a favourite of the Ibicencos, and that should tell you a lot about this place.
Address: Carrer Illa des Bosc, 2, 07829 Sant Agustí des Vedrà, Illes Balears, Spain

Es Tragón
No – that’s not wood decor, that’s actually edible art created by the brilliant and talented chefs at Es Tragón. This Michelin-star restaurant is situated within a stunning villa surrounded by majestic pine trees. Here, chef Álvaro Sanz is absolutely passionate about involving his whole talented team in the culinary process, putting his own twist on dishes. His cuisine takes inspiration from the rich traditions of the Mediterranean, focusing on a collaborative approach to theme-based cooking with input from all sorts of experts, like historians, biologists, producers, etc.
His expansive tasting menu, accompanied by different types of scrumptious sourdough bread, takes you on a journey through history that will feed both your mind and stomach. His course takes you through the different civilizations around the Mediterranean—it is a truly intellectual yet serene experience with sustainability at its heart (using locally grown organic ingredients, composting, recycling, saving energy, and more).
