San Antonio, Ibiza
Chi Kee Wun
Chi Kee Wun is a high-glam, high-gloss Ibiza restaurant hidden within lush private grounds on the island’s west coast, serving up Chinese fusion classics, exotic tasting menus and Insta-worthy cocktails in a decadent after-dark atmosphere.
Step off the San Antonio promenade and into the sultry and secluded world of Chi Kee Wun, a glamorous Ibiza restaurant where Chinese fusion flavours and curated cocktails collide beneath a canopy of scarlet lanterns, lush palms and twinkling lights. Designed to seduce seasoned Ibiza foodies and west coast wanderers looking for something a little different, curvy circular booths sit beneath the soft scarlet glow of bougainvillea and Insta-worthy nooks beckon at every turn, while the aromatic aroma of Asian artistry drifts tantalisingly from the kitchen.
Whether you’re catching up with friends over sharing plates, you’re planning a spicy date night or going all-in for an ultra-exclusive celebration, private proposal or even a brand takeover in the private, 35-seat VIP dining space, The Dragon’s Den, this Ibiza restaurant is a dining experience that feels both otherworldly and deeply indulgent. As golden hour descends, start your night at Chi Kee Wun with a ‘Chi Kee Little Livener’ – aka, a concoction from the extensive drinks menu – like the lychee-infused Mr Chow, the fiercely fiery Smoky Dragon or the rum-based Shark Fin Soup.
The Chi Kee Wun menu is cleverly split between à la carte options and three carefully curated tasting experiences. Start with a selection of sharing plates like crispy tiger prawn tempura with kimchee mayo; honey-glazed spare ribs; spring rolls and everyone’s fave, sesame prawn toast. Classic soups like chicken, egg and sweet corn, or shiitake wontons and smoked tofu are like heaven in a bowl, while the Ibiza restaurant’s addictive dim sum degustation baskets come brimming with unexpected flavour combos like aged ox and cashew or shaomai pork belly with dehydrated garlic.
Main dishes can be shared, or devoured all to yourself, depending on your mood. Aromatic crispy duck comes in quarters, halves or whole at Chi Kee Wun, served Peking style with pancakes, leek and syrupy hoisin sauce. Sweet and sour prawns gets a glow-up; as do classics like lemon chicken or beef with ginger and basil, while other must-tries include the Yangtze sizzling beef, and chicken in black bean sauce. Veggie lovers can indulge in the Ibiza restaurant’s tasty tiger salad with cucumber, ginger, honey and chilli; aubergines glazed in sticky kimchi and traditional Chinese Báijiâ Cài.
And there’s more: silky Singapore noodles, more-ish chow mein, steamy Sichuan fried rice, traditional creamy curry and the house specialty, Chi Kee Wun special fried rice with chicken and prawn. The most difficult thing about your trip to this impressive Ibiza restaurant is choosing what to order, which is where the tasting menus come into their own by showcasing the Ibiza restaurant’s most standout dishes and take all the stress out of guesswork.
With the moon illuminating the sky above (and monthly full moon wishing rituals), thoughts turn to sweeter things, like a flaming twist on baked Alaska with red fruit and mango ice cream; the Banana Wun – caramelised banana with honey chips and more – or the tantalising Happy Chi Kee Ending, a secret final flourish most definitely worth the time it takes to pre-order. Add round of shots for the table – try the white-choc tinged Chi Kee Tiki or the refreshing gin-based Floreal – and anything could happen. Come hungry, dress up and don’t forget to snap a photo or two; a night at Chi Kee Wun is designed to be savoured and shared, in more ways than one!
