Humo Restaurant stands out as a culinary gem that combines sustainability with global cuisine, featuring local, seasonal products. Located on the rooftop of Nativo Hotel Ibiza (Santa Eulària), the island’s only Barefoot Luxury hotel, and led by chef Alberto Bermejo, the restaurant is noted for its primitive cooking enriched with exotic touches. This creates a unique gastronomic experience inviting diners to rediscover the origins of flavour.

“Humo Restaurant is a blend of exotic flavours based on the fusion and communion of cultures, where the Mediterranean basin meets Latin American, Middle Eastern, and South Asian flavours in an unparalleled setting like Ibiza,” explains Bermejo, who has elevated this gastronomic space to new heights.

In addition, Humo Restaurant offers a varied selection of whole fish, seafood, crustaceans, and bivalves. Among the most anticipated creations this season are smoked mussels with coconut juice, cashew, citronella, and chipotle, and sea carpaccio with grapes, fennel, and pine nuts. Using the ‘rescoldo’ technique, the restaurant intensifies the flavour of proteins in main dishes like ‘picantón’ or the strip of rib roasted with achiote barbecue and apricots from the Ibizan countryside.
