Gordon Ramsay Opens Europe's First Hell's Kitchen Location In Ibiza
Hell's Kitchen Ibiza opened its doors on June 9th. Europe's very first Hell's Kitchen opened its doors this month, just in time to kick off a new season in Ibiza. This marks the very first foray into Spain for celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and his restaurant group. Located in the heart of Playa d'en Bossa, the beautifully designed restaurant is just steps away from the sea and fits perfectly as the newest dining establishment in the wildly popular party destination. Beef Wellington 'Ibiza was a clear choice for our first European opening,' says Andy Wenlock, CEO of Gordon Ramsay Restaurants. 'The island is famous for combining a thriving hospitality sector with an unmatched energy and international audience, making it an ideal environment to introduce the Hell's Kitchen experience to Europe.' Located inside the newly rebranded The Unexpected Ibiza Hotel (formerly The Ushuaïa Tower), it's the property's sixth restaurant and is projected to quickly become its most coveted. 'Partnering with Palladium Hotel Group has allowed us to deliver an experience that stays true to the Hell's Kitchen brand while thoughtfully reflecting the character and spirit of Ibiza, and our partners,' says Wenlock. Aimed to be more than just your typical restaurant, Hell's Kitchen Ibiza promises high-energy and entertainment that matches the property's vibe. With it being located adjacent to the iconic Ushuaïa day club, dining here is meant to be lively and will invoke those expected Ibiza party moments. 'I'm so excited to be bringing Hell's Kitchen to the electrifying island of Ibiza this summer,' says Ramsay. 'This place has it all — explosive energy, legendary nightlife, and a food scene that's absolutely world-class. Ibiza is the ultimate backdrop for the bold, high-octane experience that is Hell's Kitchen.' Hell's Kitchen Ibiza will feature the core elements that define the Hell's Kitchen brand: high impact dining, bold design, and dynamic service, but will then layer in a plenty of uniquely local character. 'From exclusive dishes and cocktails that reflect Ibizan culture, to a seamless connection between dinner and nightlife, this exciting new site reimagines what the Hell's Kitchen experience can be in an exciting European luxury environment,' explains Wenlock. Pan-seared scallops The menu at Hell's Kitchen Ibiza is rooted in the flavors of the island of Ibiza and surrounding Spanish influences. 'Our expert culinary team has drawn inspiration from Ibiza's rich local ingredients, Mediterranean heritage, and food culture to create a selection of exclusive dishes unique to this location,' says Wenlock. 'While guests may notice global influences in some of the flavors, including subtle spice profiles, the focus remains on capturing the spirit and essence of Ibiza through every plate.' New to the menu items include hell-fired scallops, Basque-style cheesecake, and whole grilled branzino. Of course, you'll still find the classics like Ramsay's iconic beef Wellington, pan-seared scallops, and ultra creamy lobster risotto, and sticky-toffee pudding on the menu. Guests can marvel at the dishes being prepared in the expansive open kitchen that acts as a focal point for most of the dining room's tables. The bar at Hell's Kitchen Ibiza is not only stunning and perfectly backlit, but it's an ideal spot for after-dinner drinks or to pregame before a wild night out around the island. The cocktail menu features bestselling cocktails from Hell's Kitchen's global outposts, including the bright and refreshing Eighteen Stars made with tequila, cointreau, yellow pepper, passion fruit, and lime. The bar at Hell's Kitchen Ibiza Additionally, there's also a selection of exclusive-to-Ibiza cocktails including the The Thyme Traveller made with hierbas ibicencas (the island's signature anise-flavored spirit) giving it a distinct herbaceous flavor. While this is the first Hell's Kitchen in Europe and the brand's first restaurant in Spain, it certainly doesn't seem like it will be the last. 'Ibiza marks an exciting chapter for us, and naturally, we're keeping an eye on where the brand could go next,' says Wenlock. 'Europe presents a number of compelling opportunities, but for now, our focus is on delivering an exceptional experience in Ibiza and listening closely to our guests.' Hell's Kitchen Ibiza is open daily for dinner starting at 7 p.m. on the ground floor of The Unexpected Ibiza Hotel.
