Rio Ibiza NYE

The first floor opens at 20.00 on New Year’s Eve with the ground floor opening at 20.30. For the special end of year celebration, the first floor club will be transformed into a cozy dining space with DJs offering a soundtrack tov your meal before the club opens at 12.30. The rooftop terrace is the obvious choice to relax and sip your chosen tipple and take in the spectacular fireworks show that heralds in the New Year.

The New Year’s Eve dinner starts with a welcome glass of cava as you are shown to your table. The starters will be served on a platter in the middle of the table for sharing and come in three choices, the first options includes Cantabrian anchovies with grated tomato, smoked salmon with asparagus and spicy cream, pastry filled with Galician mussels and gyozas (pasta) filled with steamed vegetables served with soy sauce. Starter two consists of jamon Iberico from Extremadura, the finest cut of Ibirian pork tenderloin and goats cheese with rosemary with the final starter choice including grilled lobster, grilled king prawn, boiled shrimp, fresh oyster, crusty crab and grilled scallop. There is something for every palette.
