Aura Ibiza Restaurant 2012
 
Utterly fresh and stylish, seasonal, summer food, changing throughout the summer to reflect the best of what’s available.

This year Aura Ibiza introduce two amazing new signature dishes, designed specifically for the Aura crowd:
 
The first a succulent, buttery, herb-stuffed preserved lemon roast organic chicken - roasted and carved in front of you – and brought to the table with home-baked rosemary focaccia, and herb and flower salad, takes the ‘sharing’ concept to a completely new level.
 
The second, a stylish new burger is a burger in name only. Succulent 4-hour slow cooked pulled pork, marinated in lemon, garlic, olive oil and fennel seed, and served with salt-rubbed crackling and apple and horseradish compote.
 
Of course, they’re keeping the best-sellers from last year, including the now-famous Aura Salad, and this year they’re really proud to have their own burrata on the menu, commissioned by Aura and made exclusively for Aura here on the island. Silky, creamy and utterly delicious, you won’t eat this burrata anywhere else on Ibiza.
 
The 2012 menu is what you’d expect from Aura, saturated with lovely, on-trend flavours, including some amazing preserves and pickles, again made especially for them, lots of fresh fish this year, beautifully-flavoured salts and syrups, tea smoke, buttermilk, nut oils, salted caramel, gold leaf, wild rose, whipped butters and cheeses, cardamom, lemon verbena, the freshest fruits, and some gorgeous, feminine and quirky presentation.
 
The Aura restaurant grill is going to be busy again this year, featuring Galician beef, veal, lamb and more, as well as a stunning choice of chargrilled vegetables, dictated by what’s crisply freshest on the day. And they’ve got some really elegant vegetarian choices too, plus crisp salads of summer micro herbs, baby leaves and herb flowers from our own kitchen garden, dressed simply with amazing oils and flavoured salts.
 
As always Aura is committed is to using the best Ibicencan produce available, organic where possible, and with provenance always at the forefront of their food philosophy. Excitingly the kitchen team is once again led by Head Chef Gerard Ortiz. This year the food is cooked very simply – the hardest thing to achieve well – and Aura knows that flavour and freshness will tell their food story.
