L'Elephant is a masterpiece of modern minimalism with a few elements of retro-style cleverly incorporating textures, materials, contours and striking art which off-set the minimalism to create a layered aesthetic. An aesthetic which gives an overall impression chic warmth. Just one of the allures which makes this the Ibiza Restaurant for both the international jet-set and the many trendy folk involved in the local music scene.

|
| Diners can enjoy this layered, luxurious depth in the main dining room which offers some truly exquisite cuisine. The emphasis is on fine food, crafted with talent, skill and the kind of imagination which displays a brilliance for taking prize ingredients and combining them for the surprise and delight of hungry gastronomes. A starter of king prawns in 'tempura' batter with a strawberry gazpacho could just be the the ideal way to wake the sleepy taste buds and prepare for a main course of spiced guinea-fowl or perhaps a portion of wild turbot with trout caviar and a cauliflower sauce.

| While L'Elephant is the only Ibiza Restaurant to offer such unique culinary delights, not to mention beautifully prepared, the food is only a single aspect of its appeal. Up the elegant L'Elephant spiral staircase to the top floor, is the VIP terrace, the ideal spot for those who hope to sip exotic cocktails and wait for the party to begin.

|
At midnight, the VIP terrace sheds its convivial air of being an exclusive meeting place and becomes a lively bar, replete with DJs of the variety which need to appease the industry's professionals and entertain a truly cosmopolitan clientele.
Further setting itself apart from other Ibiza Restaurants, L'Elephant has it's very own boutique. Located just opposite the main building, the Shanty Boutique is the brainchild of L'Elephant's creative genius, Gil.
The Shanty Boutique opens from 8pm to 4am, thus coinciding with the the hours of the eatery and the VIP terrace.

The boutique offers the acme of exclusive fashions. Its range can be viewed nightly within the restaurant when a fashion show is held. All in all creating an unusual experience which is endowed with a generous ingenuity for style, taste and contemporary elegance which would be hard to find anywhere, let alone on a small island.
Whether visiting to sample the delights of the inspired menu, take a twirl on the VIP terrace before heading into town, or simply to sample a bit of everything and indulge all of your senses, L'Elephant is the leader of the herd of the best Ibiza Restaurants.
