Dream Kitchen

At the gastronomic heart of five-star Ibiza hotel Hacienda Na Xamena is Eden Restaurant – the amazingly diverse kitchen under the expert care of head chef Patric Gernsbeck, offering multiple ambient settings in which to take your meals.

Spend a lazy afternoon snacking on delectable sharing plates in the lounge. With African and Asian influences, each dish is available in half or full servings, to suit your appetite and includes bite-sized delights like the Hacienda Sushi Roll, made with crispy fried crab meat, Tabouli, Dim-sum, Teriyaki salmon, Harissa-spiced lamb Shawarma and much more.

If you prefer a fine dining atmosphere, the classic restaurant space features stunning views over the cliffs, giving you the feeling of being at one with nature. The a la carte Eden menu and daily seasonal specials are based on an ethos of high quality, freshness and authentic flavours.

Spot local influences like Jamon Iberico and Gazpacho, Mediterranean inspirations like octopus and seafood soup, classic Spanish rice dishes like paella, fideua, lobster rice, enjoy fresh, succulent fish and meat directly from the grill or take a trip to the Orient with a wok-fried dish.

Take a tip from the hotel’s owners and indulge in their favourite dish, Mar y Montana, a selection of two types of fish and meat from the grill, served on a stone of Himalayan salt and served with a sprinkling of fresh herbs, potatoes and vegetables – inspired by the sea and the mountains surrounding the Hacienda.

Or for those looking to spice up their love life, take a seat in the intimate and romantic evening-only setting, and prepare to indulge in the seven-course Romantic Menu, an aphrodisiacal dinner-for-two made from typically romantic ingredients – think foie gras, truffles, lobster, champagne and chocolate.

Divinely decadent and delicious dining indeed.
