Looking for a unique dining experience in Ibiza that goes beyond just great food? 1742, the high-end restaurant nestled in the heart of Dalt Vila, has just reopened its doors for the 2025 season and it is bringing a fresh concept that every foodie traveller will want to try.
Recognised by the Michelin Guide for the third consecutive year, this venue is more than a place to eat. It is a full-blown gastronomic journey, staged inside a stunning 18th-century house overlooking the historic walls of the old town. Now operating with a brand-new schedule and an even more refined concept, this is your chance to enjoy one of the most exclusive culinary experiences on the island.
A new season, a new schedule – and one single seating per night
Starting this May, 1742 will open Monday to Friday, offering just one exclusive dinner service per night at 8:00 PM. This decision reflects the restaurant’s desire to offer a more immersive and personalised experience, allowing guests to enjoy every step of the evening, from the welcome drink to the final toast, without distractions or rush.
Every table is carefully curated. Every course is timed to perfection. This is not a quick dinner before heading out to a nightclub, it is a plan in itself.
On weekends, the restaurant is available for private events such as celebrations, business dinners or special occasions. While there is no regular dinner service on Saturdays and Sundays, guests can request the venue for exclusive use in one of Ibiza’s most extraordinary settings.
Michelin Guide + Best Concept Award
The restaurant’s reputation is not based on location alone. Besides earning its place in the Michelin Guide 2025, it has also been awarded the Best Concept prize at the Vila Gastronomic Awards, recognising its original and creative approach to fine dining.
Led by acclaimed Dutch chef Edwin Vinke, the kitchen places a strong focus on local ingredients, sustainable practices and culinary artistry. Dishes are not just cooked, they are constructed, layered and presented like artwork. The textures, aromas and plating create a truly multi-sensory experience.
