Niko Al Fresco

Set on the stunning rooftop terrace at Mondrian Ibiza, Niko Al Fresco is an elegant yet casual Ibiza fine dining restaurant, boasting sweeping views across the golden sands of Cala Llonga. The recently revamped outdoor space features a chic new look developed to complement the panorama and the exquisite contemporary Japanese cuisine. The culinary philosophy at Niko Al Fresco remains centred on exceptional Japanese culinary techniques focusing on premium ingredients, meticulous execution and subtle seasonal influences. Start with cocktails, move on to refined delicacies and finish with a moonlit stroll on the sand.

Diners can watch the chefs in action at the Niko Al Fresco open-air sushi counter where all the magic happens. The extensive sushi selection at this Ibiza fine dining restaurant features sashimi, nigiri, maki and hokomaki in truly delectable combinations – both traditional and innovative. Hamachi Usuzukuri comes with truffle vinaigrette, pickled turnips and baby shiso while the aburi Wagyu carpaccio is served with sesame dressing, ginger oroshi and garlic. Maki rolls include delights such as spicy salmon with creamy avocado, aromatic spring onion and garlic chili and a vegetarian version contains tangy marinated carrot, mixed vegetables and a sesame apple miso.

Add some tasty sharing bites such as crispy Iberian pork gyoza or the famous Niko Al Fresco soft shell crab bao buns with pickles, shiso, spicy mayo and shichimi togarashi. The robata grill sizzles away delivering delicious plates such as slow-cooked glazed beef short ribs served with kimchi and a teriyaki salmon with seasonal vegetables. Vegetarian options at this Ibiza fine dining restaurant are just as gastronomically complex and include choices such as firecracker aubergine in a sticky chilli sauce, broccolini tempura with parmesan and kimchi salsa, and soba noodles with stir-fried veggies tossed in garlic, ginger and sesame oil.

The wine list at this Ibiza fine dining restaurant embraces drops from across the globe while the Niko Al Fresco sake menu is truly astounding with an impressive range starting with the approachable flavours of junmai ginjo to rare premium bottles for enthusiasts including Dassai23 and Blend #002. Those craving something more fragrant might want to try a signature Japanese-style cocktail such as the Umeboshi made with Ki No Bi, purple shiso, jasmine and Fever-Tree or the fruity Midnight Geisha with Grey Goose, green melon, citrus, pineapple and bergamot – both of which go beautifully with the vibe created by a carefully curated soundtrack and Niko Al Fresco’s weekly event programming.

A roster of top-tier DJs and musicians bring the sounds of the island to the rooftop with Fridays welcoming live broadcasts from the stalwart team at Ibiza Global Radio. Sundays feature Lunas de Lunares, where the passion of Flamenco dancers and guitarists add a soulful and romantic dimension to the ambience. Complete the evening with inventive desserts such as the tiramisu topped with matcha crumble or the decadent chocolate tart filled with chocolate mousse and finished with miso caramel and topped with a sesame crisp. Before heading off into the night, grab a few homemade mochi to enjoy while taking in the starlight bouncing off the sparkling Mediterranean. Combining exceptional cuisine, impeccable design and one of the island’s most entrancing settings, Niko Al Fresco has firmly established itself as one of the leading destinations for Ibiza fine dining.
