Maymanta

Maymanta is the culinary jewel in the crown at the outstanding Aguas de Ibiza Grand Luxe hotel. An exquisite Ibiza fine dining restaurant, where 0km Ibizan products are given a daring Peruvian twist, it’s located on the hotel’s spectacular panoramic rooftop, where views of the picturesque Santa Eulalia harbour and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea combine with world-class gastronomy to make this a truly memorable dining experience. Helmed by esteemed Peruvian chef Omar Malpartida, previously one of Madrid’s most talked about talents, receiving a Repsol Sol award is a trusted mark of this chef’s abilities.

Open daily from 7.30pm, this Ibiza fine dining restaurant takes devotees on a whirlwind tour for the tastebuds across Peru, the Amazon, the Andes, and the Pacific, Chef Malpartida brings a sociable sharing plate ethos to Maymanta. The menu is divided into mouth-watering sections, each rooted in the techniques of Peru, the flavours of Ibiza, and a smattering of international inspiration. Think grilled grouper prepared in three different ways in homage to Chifa, Nikkei and Creole cuisines; and tuna ham, sliced at the table and enlivened with homemade Ibizan herb ponzu or leche de tigre, grilled aji peppers, coral and local rocoto peppers.

Other unmissable delights at the Ibiza fine dining restaurant include grilled ceviche with banana leaf, sour orange juice, lime, aji, amarillo, fermented corn, spring onion, cilantro and crunchy yucca; and perhaps this year’s star dish: oyster served with oca (a tuber from the Andes), beluga caviar and beetroot — the ultimate in luxury cuisine. For those unable to decide, opt for the eight-course or 12-course Maymanta tasting menus, which showcase a selection of the restaurant’s innovative and most loved classics.

An alternative option is to head to the brand new Maymanta Lounge, an adjoining eatery with a smaller, more casual, but no less impressive menu. Split into three gastronomic categories: mountains, coast and jungle, it features some of this Ibiza fine dining restaurant’s flagship dishes most beloved by diners, such as zesty ceviche piurano, and a range of favourite tapas including patacones, made with crispy plantain, avocado, seafood curry, Peruvian rocoto and pickles, and pularda croquettes. All accompanied by the emotive soundtrack of resident DJs and those breath-taking sea views.

Finally, leave room for delectable Maymanta desserts like the surprising Torrija Apicaronada, a delicious milk-soaked squash brioche macerated in pisco, cinnamon and cardamom served with fig and honey ice cream. And don’t miss the mobile bar at this Ibiza fine dining restaurant, which promises to whizz you straight to the heart of Peru. Freely roaming about the space throughout the course of an evening, a range of six refreshing cocktails are served, featuring tasty tropical fruits paired with Peruvian distillations like Amazonian gin, whiskey, and vodka. At Maymanta, settle in for a thrilling selection of flavours in all their forms.
