CHIRINGUITO BLUE, A VIBRANT DINING EXPERIENCE AT SANTA EULALIA BAY

Chiringuito Blue welcomes visitors and Ibiza residents alike to delight in an impressive menu of pure and honest Mediterranean-inspired food, by the sea.

Located on the southern tip of Santa Eulalia’s tranquil promenade, Chiringuito Blue offers an open and welcoming beachside dining space, with spectacular views of Formentera in the distance, casually-cool vibes and low-key Ibiza beats. Attracting a cosmopolitan, free-spirited crowd, it is also ideal for families. With special kids areas and proximity to the sand, the restaurant provides entertainment and relaxation for all, from midday to midnight.

Eastern delight meets ibicenco charm at Chiringuito Blue. Curated by celebrity chef Haim Cohen, the menu takes diners on a gastronomic journey of flavours from the east of the Mediterranean to Ibiza. With a focus on local, seasonal and fresh produce, the restaurant sources from the island’s huertos and surrounding sea.

A selection of starters and sharing dishes such as ‘Warm chickpeas, tahini and grated tomato’, ‘Yellowtail sashimi, tomato seeds, lemon, olive oil, coriander’, or the alwayspopular ‘Creamy soft Iberican Joselito Ham croquettes’ make the art of dining a relaxed social affair. With special varieties of fresh fish and select seafood, the diverse menu offers something for everyone with plenty of healthy, vegetarian and vegan options.

The promenade kiosk offers coffee, tempting pastries and other healthy snacks to take away, perfect for those in a hurry or those who’d like to treat themselves to a tasty picnic on the sand.

Lunch and evening meal is served à la carte from 12:30 to 23:00h. Chiringuito Blue’s location and valet parking ensure guests enjoy an unwinding experience from beginning to end.

Chiringuito Blue is a fantastic place to enjoy a drink as an après-beach treat while the sun goes down. Evening meals at the restaurant, under the stars are the perfect way to end the day. Every Thursday evening throughout the summer brings ‘Jueves Blue’ a soirée of dinner, coctails and musical talent, with a different artist every week.

As part of the new W Ibiza (W Hotels Worldwide – Mariott International), the restaurant delivers a friendly and efficient service in a beachside atmosphere. Chiringuito Blue is a place to share and celebrate the simple pleasures of life around the table uniting families and friends. It is a space where people connect and celebrate in a vibrant dining experience with local produce and global influences.

Award winning chef Haim Cohen (1960, Tel Aviv), is one of Israel’s top chefs and TV personalities. Cohen has been the leading judge on Israeli MasterChef for the past eight years and is one of the most respected chefs in Tel Aviv’s culinary scene. He opened his first restaurant, Keren, in 1985, serving nouvelle cuisine. Cohen currently has two leading restaurants in Tel Aviv: Dixie Grill Bar, a steakhouse opened in 1994 and Yaffo-Tel Aviv, opened in 2011 which is where his experience and personal taste culminate. The chef is also culinary advisor to a number of high-end restaurants worldwide, including The Duchess in Amsterdam (awarded a Michelin star in 2017).

His love of Mediterranean cuisine brings him to the white isle where he curates the menu of Chiringuito Blue offering a unique concept. Here he can express his love and passion, bringing flavours from the East of the Mediterranean to Ibiza while focussing on fresh, local produce. The emphasis is on the quality of ingredients and highlights the rich legacy of Israeli flavours with influences from Greece, Turkey and Italy. Honest and pure food that provides a joyful experience bringing different people and cultures together.

ABOUT THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.

Chiringuito Blue’s philosophy centres on sustainability. With an emphasis on organic produce from the island, they believe in food that is good for the soul and good for the planet. They are deeply inspired by the sun and you can savour it in their unique selection of sun-kissed vegetables.

Proud to collaborate with Ibiza’s largest certified organic farm, Chiringuito Blue’s vegetable garden is located at a breathtaking spot in Santa Eulalia. They let nature decide what we eat celebrating the seasons with evolving menus. Their garden is a magnificent source of inspiration where everything thrives under the sun. They cultivate vegetables and herbs with passion – and that energy permeates the restaurant.

Architecture studio Baranowitz + Kronenberg has developed the design of Chiringuito Blue. Founded in 1999 and based between Tel Aviv and Amsterdam, the studio works internationally in both private and public sectors. The talented architects and designers’ portfolio includes five-star W Amsterdam hotel across two historical buildings, interiors of Sir Joan Hotel in Ibiza and award-winning restaurants such as Topolopompo and Pastel Brasserie in Tel Aviv. The studio maintains culture at the forefront of each project and focuses on a narrative to reflect the brands’ DNA through the design. As a result, inspiration from the landscape of Santa Eularia is echoed in the casual but detailed design of Chiringuito Blue. The aesthetic of the beachside restaurant offers a laid-back and calm space using touches of bright colours throughout.
