Bambuddha Ibiza

Stroll beneath a canopy of bamboo, past watchful stone statues and snake your way around the grand estate that is Bambuddha Ibiza, where flushes of Ibiza luxe and an über-cool crowd sit among ancient sexual artefacts and sultry, sumptuous furnishings. Lovingly created by owner John Moon in 1999, this Ibiza fine dining restaurant is a temple in which to host deluxe dinners and special occasions, starting with signature cocktails that boast tantalising names like the Tantra and the Flirtini, or the non-alcoholic Shamanic or Meditation, to be sipped languidly in the legendary Tantra Cocktail Palace.

Bambuddha Ibiza is world-renowned for its delicious trademarked MediterrAsian menu, a feast of fantasy-like proportions designed to be relished sharing style. The Ibiza restaurant’s conscious ethos means 90-percent of the vegetables used in each delectable plate are grown on the island, while the very best organic meat and sustainably farmed fish are vital ingredients in a range of other mouthwatering options.

The raw section of the menu at Bambuddha Ibiza is bursting with innovative flavour combinations. Think fresh Korean tuna tartare with homemade kimchi, muhamarra sauce and walnut; sweet MediterrAsian prawn carpaccio with mango dressing and wasabi mayo; and tangy yuzu hamachi with yellowtail sashimi, Japanese plum sauce, chilli and basil. Meanwhile, the Ibiza fine dining restaurant’s bountiful salads include the Thai-inspired spicy beef salad with mango; and a green papaya salad with crispy shallots, mint, peanuts, coriander, and a lime and chilli dressing. Add in an order of the more-ish bao buns – choose between soft shell crab or wagyu beef – for maximum culinary impact.

Elsewhere, and the Bambuddha Ibiza menu includes an array of enticing bite-sized options. Crispy spring rolls, beef gyozas and prawn shumai are included in the dim sum offering, while the Yakitori menu includes chicken satay, kataifi oysters and Moroccan lamb skewers. Mains at the Ibiza fine dining restaurant include sticky spareribs slow cooked in Chinese sauce and seared with aromatic soy sauce, ginger, garlic and Japanese onion; deep-fried douchi sea bass with black bean sauce and bok choi; and creamy Indonesian laksa curry with king mushrooms, rice noodles, tofu and pumpkin. A selection of exquisite sushi is also available, and there’s oh-so-much more.

For a culinary experience that fuses cultures and centres exotic spices, don’t miss the exceptional Bambuddha Silk Road tasting menu and wine pairing, featuring nine heavenly courses including Kowloon king crab, Malaysian tiger prawn curry, and the chef’s personal dessert suggestion.
