IZAKAYA Set For Ibiza Opening Posted on June 18, 2017 Words: Iain Thomson share this tweet this Ibiza 2017 has already gone some way to exceed the lofty expectations of islanders and tourists alike, enjoying its fastest ever start to a season and that start is about to be illuminated further with the introduction of famous dining concept IZAKAYA, located in the stylish Sir Joan Hotel, adding Ibiza to its portfolio of destinations that already includes Amsterdam, Hamburg, Munich and Milan. The Asian kitchen and bar is from the forward-thinking Entourage Group, and is the latest addition to Ibiza’s ever growing and exciting gastronomic scene. As recent as five years ago, asking anyone for their first impressions of Ibiza, you would have been safe to assume clubbing capital would be the only answer. Nowadays, however, the island landscape is changing and quickly. With more world class hotel and restaurant brands opting for the Balearic beauty as an option, foodies from all over the world are dropping in to sample the unique juxtaposition of new and traditional dining opportunities. From the latest in molecular gastronomy to ethical organic menus and traditional dishes that have been passed down generations of the same family, Ibiza boasts one of the largest and most diverse choices of where and what to eat. IZAKAYA adds its significant name to the ever growing list as it opens its doors at the end of June and, as fans of Japanese cuisine, we can’t wait! If the existing IZAKAYA’S are anything to judge by, Ibiza is in for a mouth-watering treat. Each venue boasts an individuality, through a combination of architecture and design. We have watched the Sir Joan come to life as it passed through various stages of building this year and we can’t wait to see what lies behind its stylish outer façade. IZAKAYA usually stands for Japanese gastropub but the Entourage Group has given it a contemporary twist that has been hugely successful. Reimagining the Japanese classics with small plates, ‘robata’ style, it promises to be a dining experience to remember. Whether you are dropping on for breakfast, lunch, dinner or you want to enjoy some bar bites, the menu is packed with tasty options. When it comes to innovative culinary concepts, The Entourage Group has a strong pedigree with concepts such as MOMO, MR PORTER, THE DUCHESS and THE BUTCHER, joining IZAKAYA in offering food lovers’ multiple destinations in which to enjoy the finest experience. IZAKAYA Ibiza will showcase modern Japanese cuisine with a South American influence overlooking Ibiza Town and the Marina. Yossi Eliyahoo of THE ENTOURAGE GROUP says: “IZAKAYA is a contemporary dining experience where extravagant Japanese cuisine meets Peruvian flavours. Authentic elements are given a contemporary twist when combined with creative techniques. This is not only presented in the menu but throughout the whole concept. It’s the essence of IZAKAYA; authentic yet never traditional. We are extremely proud to introduce the concept to Ibiza.” IZAKAYA will also feature a range of its signature cocktails and a stylish environment in which to enjoy them, making this yet another hot hang out for the beautiful people living or visiting Ibiza. Just when you think Ibiza 2017 couldn’t get much better, get ready for the opening of IZAKAYA. INFO & RESERVATIONS: w: www.izakaya-restaurant.com/ibiza w: info@izakaya-ibiza.com share this tweet this
