La Gaia

a truly exclusive experience that is an astute symbiosis of design, elegance and flavour.

Stepping through the restaurant’s doors, you and your luxury charter guests will feel a sense of calm wash over them as the white walls and sweeping wooden beams pay homage to traditional Japanese design. With such a minimalist approach to its interiors, La Gaia allows its exquisite menu to take center stage. 

Staying true to its name, the restaurant has been praised for its ecological awareness– presenting to its guests a ‘zero-kilometre’ cuisine which celebrates what Ibiza has to offer. While staying local, Molina also skillfully infuses his own worldly experiences into his dishes: La Gaia stands out for the Chef’s Nikkei cooking style, a unique fusion of Japanese and Peruvian elements that transforms this traditional Mediterranean food into a truly bespoke culinary masterpiece spanning 3 continents. With such an original menu, it is no surprise that La Gaia was awarded a Michelin star, making the Gran Hotel the first hotel on the island to be awarded such an accolade. 

Food at the restaurant is organised into two tasting menus: the ten-course Tanit menu, and the fourteen-course Posidonia menu. The former features a triptych of dishes inspired by the traditional food eaten during the island’s matanza del cerdo festival in which every part of the family pig is consumed in a sumptuous feast: diners will enjoy a salty bone emulsion served on a chinese bun and a Mexican-style roasted black pork. Particular highlights from the Posidonia menu include red prawns with apple, pork jowl and hoisin, and Ibizan Flaó cake. 

There’s nothing predictable about La Gaia’s food
