About El Chiringuito
Rooted in Ibiza, open to the world
Inspired by the island’s spirit and shaped by an international sensibility, El Chiringuito has evolved into a destination where local character, hospitality and lifestyle come together naturally.
The story behind El Chiringuito
For nearly two decades, El Chiringuito Ibiza has been shaped by a clear philosophy: attention to detail, genuine hospitality and creating something truly special by the sea.
Set in the natural surroundings of Es Cavallet, El Chiringuito has become one of Ibiza’s most iconic beach destinations — a place where gastronomy, atmosphere and the rhythm of the island come together through a deeply considered experience.
Founded by Olivia Fleury and Jonathan Thorogood, El Chiringuito was created with the vision of building more than a restaurant: a space defined by warmth, character and a way of making people feel at home.
Now entering its 18th season, El Chiringuito continues to evolve with intention. Under Jonathan Thorogood’s leadership, this new chapter introduces a renewed culinary direction led by Head Chef Ángel Zapata, alongside Restaurant Manager Edoardo Agnelli, strengthening the next era of El Chiringuito while staying true to the essence that has defined it from the beginning.
The people behind the experience
Ángel Zapata leads a new chapter in our kitchen, bringing a Mediterranean vision rooted in seasonality, simplicity and precision.
His approach is centred on honest cooking, where product comes first and every dish is shaped with balance, care and contemporary execution.
We understand that the key to success lies in our people, every team member plays an essential role in shaping the El Chiringuito experience.
From kitchen to restaurant, beach, Little Chiringuito, boutique and valet parking, it is this shared rhythm and seamless collaboration that defines who we are, a place where every detail works together to make you feel at home.
