Sublimotion

Sublimotion, located in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Ibiza, Spain, is a pioneering gastronomic experience orchestrated by Michelin two-star chef Paco Roncero. Established in 2014, it redefines fine dining by integrating molecular gastronomy with cutting-edge technology, earning the Best Innovation Food & Beverage award that year. Renowned as the world’s most expensive restaurant, Sublimations command an average cost exceeding €1,900 (approximately $2,000) per person, reflecting its exclusivity and unparalleled sensory journey . The dining experience, limited to 12 guests per session, unfolds in a single, intimate room where every element—culinary, visual, and auditory—is meticulously curated. Sublimotion employs immersive technologies, including 360-degree projections, virtual reality, and synchronized soundscapes, to transport diners through diverse settings, from underwater realms to futuristic cities. These environments complement Roncero’s avant-garde dishes, which leverage molecular techniques to manipulate textures and flavors, creating edible art that challenges conventional palates. Each course, part of a multi-course tasting menu, is designed to evoke emotion and provoke thought, blending gastronomy with theatrical storytelling. Sublimotion’s exclusivity extends to its operational model, running only during Ibiza’s high season (June to September). Reservations are highly competitive, requiring advance booking and significant financial commitment. The experience lasts approximately three hours, with every detail—from bespoke tableware to personalized service—crafted to elevate the diner’s journey. Critics praise its innovation, though some debate its value given the exorbitant cost. Nonetheless, Sublimotion remains a bucket-list destination for affluent food enthusiasts and those seeking a transformative culinary adventure. Its fusion of art, technology, and cuisine sets a new benchmark for experiential dining, cementing its status as a global culinary phenomenon.

this restaurant was my favorite .I am only 14years old and I live in Korea my family went there and the vibe was very great my little sis liked the food. I really recommend to go with your family. But something I felt was the toilet their was some insect? So my mom and I ran away so for that I have a little uncomfortable. But the food was really great!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sublimotion – where haute cuisine meets immersive theatre Dining at Sublimotion is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. This isn’t just a restaurant – it’s a multi-sensory journey that blends gastronomy, technology, art, and performance into a single, surreal evening. It’s bold, experimental, and unapologetically extravagant – exactly what you’d expect from Chef Paco Roncero’s vision. Each course is more than a dish – it’s an act in a curated show. We were guided through underwater scenes, futuristic metropolises, and dreamlike landscapes, all enhanced by projection mapping, synchronized audio, virtual reality, and carefully timed plating. The room transforms constantly, and with it, the entire emotional energy of the evening. Highlights from the culinary side: Avant-garde techniques meet traditional ingredients, delivering both surprise and pleasure. A “truffle snowfall” moment mid-course was theatrical and unforgettable. The pacing of the experience was excellent – never rushed, yet never stagnant. The service was as refined as you’d expect at this level – personal, smooth, and perfectly synchronized with the show. Every detail, from lighting to temperature to tableware, was meticulously considered. Yes, it is extremely expensive – and no, it’s not about just the food. If you expect a classic fine dining experience or are primarily food-focused, this may not be the best value. But if you view dining as an emotional, immersive, and artistic experience, Sublimotion delivers on its promise to transport. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event. Not for comparison – but for memory.

I’d recon I would find chips and burgers but was met with a stone with 2 small stones on top. They diden’t even serve a beer pint!!! I sold my duplex for this experience and Sheila wasn’t happy about it.

Sublimotion in Ibiza offers an unparalleled dining experience, combining gastronomy, art, and technology. the Michelin-starred restaurant serves an immersive 20-course meal. Guests are transported through various 'scenarios' via virtual reality and projection mapping, making it a sensory feast beyond anything you ever tried.... A awesome experience of innovation in F&B.

Amazing show and great dinner BUT honestly there is simply no way that you spend € 1700 per person and afterwards you need to wait and hope for a cab to pick you up. Such an experience at the end of the evening destroys a lot of positive ones. Ibiza during high season means cabs are not available at all.

Fun experience and great food. Very diverse and a lot of seafood. Great music choice, graphics are fun, too

This is one of the best restaurants I have visited till now, I spent a total of $21,860 which was quite normal if it is for a family, I have been to many restaurants and this one is one of a kind, and the price is very reasonable for all these delicacies that they have served, absolutely loved it, even though the the time taken for them to bring the food was a bit concerning, all the flavours of the different types of food was hard judge on which one was best. Staff was really friendly, If you bring a family it is going to cost you a lot, but was worth it!

Abdolutely one of the coolest experiences, hands down, ever! After signing up for this, I realized I had no idea how I was going to last through a 15-course meal. (I'm normally ready to go home after an appetizer.) But, WOW- it was literally amazing. From the beginning to the end, nonstop amazing. The presentation, the food, even the people you will dine with - you begin as strangers not knowing what to expect, and leave with some new friends. I cannot recommend this highly enough! I can't even really describe this, you have to experience it to believe it!

Alright the presentation kicks everyone's butt. But taste of the food is everywhere and not focused. I was wowed by 3 courses. Amazing experience and presentation. But that's it. Don't expect the best food you ever tasted.
