Atzaro Restaurant

Ibiza is full of memorable locations, places that etch themselves on your brain, memories that remain with you for a lifetime and dinner in the garden of this stunning hotel is one of them.

Essential Ibiza was delighted to accept Atzaro hotel manager Alex's invitation to join him in tasting their exclusive menu, elastic waste band at the ready we headed into the countryside for one of Ibiza's genuine treasures.

The ambience in the garden restaurant of Atzaro instantly puts you at ease, unusual for true five star surroundings. The friendly staff has no airs or graces, just a confidence that what you are about to experience will leave a lasting impression.

What follows is hard to do justice in simple print; we are treated to larger than normal sample portions of some of the restaurants specialties. The idea apparently is to enjoy a taste of each dish, however, I would challenge any of you to take a couple of fork filled nibbles and then push your plate away!! The food is delicious, the presentation is exquisite and our will power is tested to the max.

Fresh fish, Ibicecan chicken and succulent beef are just some of the stunning dishes that we are treated to, each plate bringing with it a plethora of complimentary flavours, washed down by deep red wine and flowing conversation as we debate everything from traditional Ibiza, the development of the hotel and the hotels ability to hold on to its highly trained, professional and friendly staff. By the time the selection of desserts lands on the table, the elastic waste bands are tested to the full.

Atzaro is fine dining with a twist, it's unconventional in its choice of dishes and it's a breath of fresh air because of it. Whether you want to eat sushi, a choice cut of beef or some traditional wild chicken from Ibiza, or all of them. Atzaro takes our expectations, surpasses them and makes us feel like a part of their family while they do so.
