Novikov Ibiza is a high-end Asian and Italian restaurant at Joan Daifa s/n, 07800 Ibiza, in the Talamanca Bay area on the Balearic island’s southeastern coast. It belongs to the international Novikov restaurant group, founded by London restaurateur Arkady Novikov, which pairs a Pan-Asian kitchen with a classic Italian menu under one roof. Diners come for sushi and robata-style grills, polished service and a late-evening scene that suits celebration dinners.
What to Expect at Novikov Ibiza
The Novikov formula splits the kitchen in two. The Asian side runs on sashimi and nigiri, tempura, dim sum and wok-fried dishes, while the Italian side covers pasta, risotto and grilled fish and meat. Many groups order across both menus, building a table of sharing plates rather than separate starters and mains. Ibiza’s version keeps the group’s hallmark long wine list, a cocktail menu and attentive table service, and prices sit firmly in the premium tier.
The restaurant opens in the evening only, with service running from 8 PM until 1:30 AM every day of the week. That schedule makes it a late-dinner address in the island’s tradition, where tables fill after sunset and the mood builds toward midnight. Ibiza Marina and the Talamanca shoreline are close by, so the setting is bay-side rather than inland, and the guest list tends to mix couples, friends celebrating and visitors planning a night out afterward.
- Sushi and Sashimi: Raw-bar plates form the Asian menu’s centerpiece and suit sharing across the table.
- Robata and Wok Dishes: Grilled and fire-cooked items sit alongside noodle and rice dishes from the Pan-Asian kitchen.
- Italian Menu: Pasta, risotto and grilled mains give a second route for anyone who prefers European flavors.
- Wine and Cocktails: An extensive list built around the group’s international sourcing, with cocktails suited to a late seating.
- Late Service: Dinner runs to 1:30 AM nightly, matching Ibiza’s after-dark rhythm.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Reserve ahead, particularly for weekend evenings and peak summer weeks, through the restaurant’s online booking page. Arriving at the early end of the 8 PM service gives the calmest start, while later seatings fit the island’s slower dinner pace. Smart-casual dress suits the room, and the premium pricing means a full dinner with drinks typically sits well above a standard Ibiza restaurant bill.
Talamanca is reached from Ibiza Town by a short taxi ride, and ride-hail or a pre-booked transfer is the practical choice for the late return, since evening bus service thins out. Ask the restaurant directly about step-free access and seating before booking if mobility is a concern. Within a short drive or a longer waterfront walk, Ibiza Town’s Dalt Vila old town and the marina promenade make natural pairings for a pre-dinner stroll.
