With the permission of the moon, the new place to be on the island of Ibiza. Sabbaba Montesol is the new restaurant with panoramic terrace-cocktail bar by Experimental Group, the Parisian group that has hotels, restaurants, cocktail bars and wine clubs in Paris, London, New York, Venice, Verbier, Menorca and Ibiza, lands in a location historic center in Dalt Vila, nothing less than the Gran Hotel Montesol, with a groundbreaking proposal that invites all diners and visitors to do a little trip through the Middle East through the five senses.
In a sophisticated environment, but at the same time informal, fun and with a lot charme, Sabbaba proposes an unprecedented concept on the island, with which it invites you to enjoy a unique gastronomic experience. In August the doors of the Sabbaba Montesol restaurant were opened, with all the necessary ingredients to enjoy the best views of the island, share surprising recipes, toast with signature cocktails, enjoy good music and be surprised by dishes off the menu and other performances of the highly qualified restaurant staff, thus becoming a new “hotspot” in the heart of Ibiza.
Under the guidelines of the interior designer Dorothée Melichzon, Sabbaba breathes the Ibiza and Mediterranean style of the island mixed with the bright colors of the Middle East, achieving a cozy atmosphere, cool and surprising that it leaves no one indifferent. Following the philosophy of Experimental Group, the decoration proposal integrates and enriches the local environment, and thanks to the collaboration with local artisans, the decoration breathes Ibiza in many of its corners. This is how a historic location such as the restaurant of the Gran Hotel Montesol, a meeting place for local and international personalities since the 1930s, today takes on a new and exciting life with this daring fusion proposal.
The restaurant of Israeli cuisine with notes of Middle Eastern cuisine and marked Mediterranean influence proposes a fun, colorful and cheerful cuisine that comes from the adaptation of the traditions of all the gastronomic influences brought from the diaspora. A menu designed to share, taste and let yourself be carried away by the different tapas and dishes. A fresh, healthy and light proposal with the highest quality raw materials from the sea and the land, vegetarian and vegan options, with a marked Middle Eastern character with fresh and fruity touches of our Mediterranean.
As with his successful Parisian brother Balagan, these delicacies are intended to be enjoyed in a fun, open and versatile space, open to hotel guests as well as to all visitors and locals on the island. The well-known Chef Tomer Amedi, an international benchmark for Israeli cuisine and creator of the Palomar restaurant in London, is behind Sabbaba’s proposal to fill this culinary experience with flavor and life after his great stint at the Balagan restaurant in Paris.
The name Sabbaba comes from the Hebrew word used to talk about something fantastic or cool and is used to express enthusiasm and satisfaction for something or towards something. Sabbaba is a derivation of the Arabic expression tzababa, a concept that expresses “excellent”, “cool”, “all ok” in a single word. This is precisely what Sabbaba represents, a site cool, enthusiastic, excellent, a hymn to life, joy and the Mediterranean lifestyle.
The restaurant also has a terrace for 90 people on the Paseo de Vara de Rey and a terrace on the rooftop from the hotel to enjoy the best cocktails with views of the city of Dalt Vila and the port of Ibiza. Fancy a getaway?
