IZAKAYA Asian Kitchen & Bar reopens on May 23rd, 2022
Reinstating its outstanding Japanese concept in Ibiza's Marina
As travellers from across the world find their way back to the island, IZAKAYA Asian Kitchen & Bar announces its reopening in the historical heart of Ibiza, Ibiza Town, on Monday 23rd May. Overlooking the Old Town and the stunning Ibiza marina, IZAKAYA presents modern Japanese cuisine with South American influences and an outstanding shared-dining concept that suits the cosmopolitan nature of Ibiza. Behind this inspiring idea are creative hospitality entrepreneurs, Yossi Eliyahoo and Liran Wizman, owners and founders of Amsterdam-based 'THE ENTOURAGE GROUP', together with the group's CEO Stephanie Pearson.
Yossi Eliyahoo of THE ENTOURAGE GROUP says, ''IZAKAYA is best translated as 'Japanese pub' – a place deeply rooted in the Japanese culture. Dishes are served on small plates that are made for sharing. In Amsterdam, IZAKAYA shaped this authentic concept into a high-end gastronomic experience. An 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. IZAKAYA is ready to kick off another summer in Ibiza.''
Time-honoured techniques blend with innovative signatures, with spectacular dishes as a result. IZAKAYA IBIZA has a sophisticated menu of small, unconventional dishes and specialties of the Robata grill, always daring guests to try something new. The traditional Robata grill is centered in the heart of the restaurant in Ibiza, where guests will be able to watch the chefs inimitably do their work. Besides the specialities of the Robata grill, IZAKAYA has a sophisticated menu of Sakana - a variety of small dishes - and dishes created with the Hibachi fire bowl, a Japanese small hot plate. An exquisite selection of sushi and sashimi completes the menu.
Along with redefining Asian culinary classics, IZAKAYA provides a cutting-edge twist to the bar with an Asian influenced cocktail menu. A giant wine fridge is the main feature of the central bar, offering a vast international fine wine library as well as a unique selection of Japanese sake, Shōchū and whiskeys. The iconic 360 degrees island bar is embraced by this overwhelming wine library set in state-of-the-art fridges.
The show kitchen at IZAKAYA stands out as a socialising spot, where parties of up to 15 guests are able to watch and share an inspiring culinary performance while seated along the sleek chef's table. Floating above it all is a stainless-steel, polished lamella ceiling that mimics water reflections. Outdoor cabanas and dining around the pool takes IZAKAYA under the sun, for which a laid-back spatial experience is supported by simple bespoke design gestures. After sunset, sun loungers turn into cosy dining spaces. With DJs setting the energetic vibe throughout dinner, IZAKAYA turns the place into a music and elevated social scene every night.
In 2017, IZAKAYA travelled to the Balearic Islands and settled at the heart of the SIR Joan Hotel. BARANOWITZ + KRONENBERG took the initial urban DNA of IZAKAYA, which they first defined in Amsterdam, and transcended it to the realm of a summer resort of laid–back sun-seeking elite, jet setters and smart party lovers. Perceived as an inside-out venue, the pool and cabanas are part and parcel of the IZAKAYA experience. Inspired by the maritime life of the Balearics, the IZAKAYA design resonates with yacht living where walnut wood planks, polished stainless-steel details and socialising are fundamental.
For those that prefer a quick bite instead of extensive dinner, just around the corner of IZAKAYA, is the high-end burger bar THE BUTCHER. This full-service concept offers all-day and night haute fast foo, every day, from 12PM – 12AM. The menu consists of all THE BUTCHER classics: the glorious 'THE BUTCHER' Angus beef burger, the notorious 'The Ugly', the 'Silence of the Lambs', 'THE BUTCHER's Wife's Favourite' chicken burger, 'The Codfather' fish and chips and 'The Veggie Delight'. THE BUTCHER also has a dedicated menu of homemade milkshakes.

''As a creative concept developer, I envision and feel the places I design before they actually exist. I always create places that suit the locals, but try to offer them something new at the same time. It's extremely important to get to know the market; you can't ignore a city and its people's heritage. I love to develop something from the roots and pay attention to every tiny detail. Every aspect has to be captured by the same language.'
