Lamb Ribs with Rosemary Miso
A powerful encounter between Ibicenco lamb and Japanese technique. Cooked over a Josper grill, these ribs are tender and smoky, served with eggplant purée, garlic, and finely chopped shiso, all brought together with a rich rosemary miso sauce. It’s a robust, flavorful dish that exemplifies the best of Balearic produce with a distinctly Nobu twist.
Nori Tacos with Avocado and Oscietra Caviar
This umami-packed bite is a sophisticated twist on a street food favorite. Crisp nori shells hold a rich guacamole base, crowned with Oscietra caviar. The result? A mouthful of saline depth from the caviar, iodine notes from the nori, and creamy freshness from the avocado: a perfect balance of textures and flavor intensity.
Zucchini Tataki with Ponzu
A vegetarian option that doesn’t compromise on boldness. Local Ibizan zucchini is lightly grilled, then dressed with garlic and ponzu sauce—a classic Japanese condiment known for its bright, citrusy and umami-rich profile. This dish is a showcase of simplicity elevated by technique, delivering a fresh, vibrant plate with signature Nobu elegance.
Doversole with Shiso Salsa
A Mediterranean favorite reimagined. Lightly butter-fried Doversole (Solea solea) is finished with a house-made shiso sauce, featuring pickled red onion, minced shiso, red chili, and lime. The shiso herb adds a slightly minty, aromatic quality, cutting through the richness and transforming a traditional fried dish into a light, refined delight.
Steamed Salmon with Dry Miso, Asparagus & Japanese Mushrooms
Delicate and flavorful, this dish features steamed salmon paired with Ibizan asparagus, sautéed shiitake and enoki mushrooms, and topped with dry miso for a full-bodied umami hit. It's a fusion of texture and earthiness, seamlessly blending Mediterranean freshness with Japanese depth.
Chilean Seabass with Jalapeño Miso
This standout dish features oven-roasted Chilean seabass, marinated in Nobu’s signature jalapeño miso sauce—a spicy yet smooth blend that enhances the fish’s natural richness. Finished with roasted eggplant, Chinese scallion, and a touch of wasabi, it delivers layers of heat, acid, and silkiness in every bite. The Chilean seabass, prized for its omega-3 content and velvety texture, makes this a must-try.
Wagyu Sliders with Tofu Bun and Truffle Sauce
This playful, elevated take on a comfort classic stars Wagyu beef—arguably the finest in the world—encased in a light, airy tofu bun. Topped with crispy white onion, pickled cucumber, sautéed shiitake, and finished with a decadent truffle sauce, these sliders offer a perfect balance of crunch, richness, and umami, elevating the familiar into the extraordinary.
