Two great culinary traditions collide in a kaleidoscope of flavour at Teyo at OKU Ibiza, the sleek, ultra-modern fine dining restaurant located within the five-star surrounds of OKU Ibiza. Japan meets South America in a menu inspired by the Aztec belief in the fire of the soul, an apt concept for an Ibiza fine dining destination near the golden shores and fiery sunsets of Cala Gracio on the island’s west coast.

The dining room at Teyo at OKU Ibiza feels both minimal and warm, with a nod to Japanese restraint and Latin flair. Sculptural lighting creates a moody sophistication with sand, charcoal and espresso tones building on the electric ambience while stone, wood and woven textures ground the space to an island aesthetic. An open kitchen reveals the red-hot embers of a Robata grill, its smoky aromas wafting across the room towards the Ibiza fine dining restaurant’s terrace.

Executive chef Mark Vaessen has long been obsessed with fusing global cuisines and ancient Japanese techniques. At Teyo at OKU Ibiza he takes his signature style, designed for sharing, to showcase local produce and international delicacies. Starters at this Ibiza fine dining restaurant include tangy Hamachi pana puri with radish, lime and jalapeño; unagi steamed buns with foie, eel and Hoisin; Wagyu gyoza and the sublime tempura shiso leaf with lemongrass emulsion.
