Amsterdam's most celebrated live-fire restaurant has packed its bags. Chefs Hari Shetty and Ori Geller are bringing their open-fire philosophy to the White Isle. Nela's pop-up is now available for reservations at the 7Pines Resort in Ibiza. And anyone who's ever dined at Nela in Amsterdam knows it's a must if you're visiting the island this summer, like me!

Why Nela Ibiza is this summer's culinary hit
Nela means "pure" in Sanskrit. That name perfectly captures what you get. No frills, no show. Simply the best ingredients cooked over an open flame. What has been filling tables in Amsterdam for two years now features local influences from Ibiza.
At Nela Ibiza, you'll enjoy a seasonal menu as layered as the island itself. Expect no frills, but rather refinement: from oysters with fermented chili and smoked oil to a fresh tomato salad with harissa that evokes a Mediterranean summer day. Many dishes are grilled, such as Chilean sea bass with olive oil and sea salt, juicy yellowtail with truffle and lemon, or half a lobster with guajillo butter and a hint of mandarin. The flavors are earthy, pure, and full of sunshine. What to drink with it? There's an extensive wine list featuring wines from the world's finest regions, complemented by a selection of classic and innovative cocktails.

© NelaThe perfect setting for live-fire dining
Few places in the world offer such a magical blend of hospitality, ambiance, and good food as Ibiza. It's no wonder Nela is making its international debut here. And not just anywhere: Nela Ibiza opens in the stylish 7Pines Resort, nestled on the cliffs of the island's west coast. A place where understated luxury and minimalist design perfectly complement Nela's look and feel. With views of the Balearic Sea and the mysterious Es Vedrà as a backdrop, this is one of those places where everything just fits. Come for the signature dishes, stay for the sunset, which might just be the most beautiful on the island.
