About Unic
David Grussaute left Bordeaux for the Comoros, then Scotland, and has cooked on Ibiza for more than a decade. At Unic, the restaurant inside the Migjorn Ibiza Suites & Spa in Playa d'en Bossa, he turns that itinerant training on the island's own larder. The kitchen took its first Michelin star in 2023, in the 2024 Guía España, and has held it since.
The format is a tasting menu, two of them in fact — the Unic and the longer La Xanga — built almost entirely from Ibizan suppliers, fishermen and foragers. The headline price is 145 euro. See the rest of the island in the Ibiza dining guide, or compare the format against the world's best tasting menus.
The Kitchen
Grussaute's signature is a dashi of posidonia served with red Ibiza shrimp, the gamba roja ibicenca. He builds a consommé from posidonia, the seagrass that fringes the island, and a katsuobushi-style cure made from the shrimp heads and bodies, then plates the raw red shrimp with a coral gel so the whole course reads of the sea. Honey, almonds, island herbs and salt-marsh produce recur through the menu, each course tied to a named supplier or a stretch of coast.
It is cooking with a French backbone and an Ibizan accent, and the one-star verdict rests on that sourcing discipline rather than spectacle. Diners weighing the island's fine-dining field can also look at the two-star Es Tragón or Martín Berasategui's Etxeko Ibiza, both in our best Spanish restaurants roundup.
The Room
Unic seats a small room inside the spa hotel, dimly lit and quiet, paced for a long evening rather than a quick supper. Tables are generously spaced and the service is attentive and explanatory, walking each course back to its producer. Conversation stays easy across the table; this is a hushed, focused tasting room, not a beach-club soundtrack. Dress is smart-casual, and the kitchen runs at a deliberate pace across several hours.
Best for an Anniversary
Book Unic for an anniversary because the evening is built for two people paying attention: a quiet room, a several-hour tasting menu and a sommelier-led story that gives you something to talk about between courses. The posidonia-and-red-shrimp course is the one to anticipate. Reserve the earlier seating to keep the full menu unhurried, and tell the team it is a celebration. It carries our proposal and impress-clients tags for the same reasons.
Not for
Not for a casual beach-club lunch. Unic is a 145-euro tasting-menu room inside a hotel spa, paced over several hours and built for a slow, attentive dinner — the wrong call if you want a quick plate between the sea and the club.
Frequently Asked
Is Unic worth it?
Yes, for diners who want the island's produce taken seriously. David Grussaute's one Michelin star is built on Ibizan sourcing — posidonia, red shrimp, island honey — rather than imported luxury, and the tasting menu tells that story course by course. At 145 euro it is a real outlay, so it suits a milestone evening rather than a casual dinner between beach and club.
How hard is it to book Unic?
Moderately hard in high season. Unic is a small room and the island fills from June through September, so reserve one to two weeks ahead through the restaurant for summer weekends. Shoulder-season dinners are easier and the room is calmer. Booking the earlier seating gives the full tasting menu room to run without feeling rushed toward the end of the night.
What is the dress code at Unic?
Smart-casual. This is a focused tasting-menu room inside a spa hotel, so neat resort dress works well — a collared shirt or a summer dress rather than beachwear straight off the sand. There is no jacket requirement, but swimwear, flip-flops and cover-ups are out of place at what is a several-hour fine-dining dinner.
What is the average meal price at Unic?
The headline tasting menu is 145 euro per person, with a longer La Xanga menu above it. Wine pairings, the cellar and supplements push the total higher, so budget roughly 220 to 300 euro per head for a full evening with pairings. It is priced as a destination dinner, in line with Ibiza's other Michelin-starred rooms.
Is Unic good for an anniversary?
Yes — it is one of the strongest anniversary tables on Ibiza. The quiet room, the multi-hour pacing and the producer-led storytelling all serve a long celebratory dinner for two. Book the earlier seating, mention the occasion, and let the menu run. See the full anniversary dining guide for how it compares globally.
Small room; book 1–2 weeks ahead in summer. Earlier seating runs unhurried.
