Eyal Shani, an internationally renowned creator and food artist, introduces his creative and entertaining HaSalon idea to Six Senses Ibiza. Distinguished by his signature culinary style that embraces farm-to-table practices, supporting local farmers and a minimalistic approach to seasoning.

Eyal Shani Six Sense

At Six Senses, Shani is revitalising Ibiza’s energy for plant-based dining, harnessing the island’s natural abundance of ingredients — from avocados to watermelons, oranges, lemons, Ibiza rock salt and a rich supply of olive oil, an absolute essential for the chef. The open kitchen allows the guests to become part of Shani’s creative process as they gather at the 50-seat chef’s table in the shade of 100-year-old olive trees.

One of his signature dishes in Ibiza includes his famous Roasted cauliflower.
