6 Exotic Dining Destinations to Try in Ibiza
Ibiza’s culinary scene has been evolving year by year, with a natural shift toward diverse, international flavours.
Created by mixologists Andres Tsanos and Salvatore D’Amico, Chidas Bar & Cantina is a well-loved gem among Ibiza’s residents. Start with the unbeatable guacamole and homemade nachos, then go for the Gobernador taco with prawns, best enjoyed with a refreshing mezcal Paloma. The crowd here is a mix of locals and new faces, effortlessly relaxed and stylish. Expect an eclectic music selection—trendy and a bit off the beaten path, perfectly matching the easy-going atmosphere.
Nestled in the heart of Santa Gertrudis, Yalla brings a fresh, Mediterranean twist to Middle Eastern cuisine. Conceptualised by entrepreneur Lana Asodi, founder of Passion, this spot seamlessly blends vibrant Levantine flavours with a lighter, local touch. Open throughout the day, Yalla offers its signature breakfast and brunch dishes, alongside a rotating selection of specials. By day, enjoy the Passion pop-up for wholesome bites; by evening, Yalla shifts into its classic dinner menu. It’s the go-to for anyone seeking healthy, flavourful dining with a unique fusion of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influences.
New this year and close to Can Bellotera in San Jordi, Supūn is the creation of a young team of chefs and a sake sommelier, designed to transport you straight to the vibrant streets of Tokyo. The restaurant draws a mix of Ibiza locals, foodies, and stylish gastro-lovers. The gourmet bao stand out—light, and fluffy, with unexpected flavours that keep you coming back. The menu evolves throughout the year, with noodles and ramen soups being a perfect choice as the weather cools. The atmosphere is complemented by a cool, well-curated soundtrack, and the sake selection is a must-try for the Japanese dining connoisseur. Currently on hiatus, Supūn will reopen its doors in December, ready to be a winter favourite among Ibiza’s food lovers.
Tucked away in a quiet street of Ibiza Nueva, Sushiya Aoyama is a local favourite, cherished by those in the know. Helmed by Japanese chef Hideki Aoyama, a Tokyo Sushi Academy graduate, this intimate restaurant offers an authentic slice of Japan. It’s all about simplicity—market-fresh fish, expertly crafted sushi, and a sake list worth exploring. Open all year round, it’s the perfect spot for traditional Japanese dining. And for those with an eye for style, a selection of original kimonos is available.
Opened just last year in Cala Llonga, Shanti has already become an island favourite, blending vibrant Indian flavours with a modern twist. Chef Ojas Naware, inspired by family recipes and local produce, creates dishes that take you on a journey from the Himalayas to the shores of Kerala. The cocktails, dreamt up by mixologist Marcus Garvin, are just as exciting—try the Flying Turban or the Shanti Town for a playful mix of Indian spices and global influences. With its lively vibe, excellent cocktails, and live music, Shanti feels like a celebration every night. Open only in the summer, so save the address for when you’re back on the island.

Remarkable flavour combinations such as leeks with romesco sauce and seaweed are standout dishes, while the fish tacos and zingy sashimi are unmissable.
