Ibiza's branch of Temakinho Sushi is well situated to feed an international crowd; each of its rolls is spun with a global twist

Though there are two branches each in Rome and Milan, and the promise of an opening in London, it would be a mistake to overlook Ibiza's branch of Temakinho, the definitive Brazilian-Japanese fusion restaurant. For one, founder Linda Maroli, though Honduran-born, Venezuelan-raised and nationally Italian, has chosen the White Isle to settle on.

She and her partner Santo Bellistri spent time in Sao Paulo, which is home to the largest population of Japanese people outside of Japan. They sought to bring this delicious mixture of cultures elsewhere. Temakinho literally means 'cross-contmaination' and the restaurant serves up a bright array of sushi and cocktails 'contaminated' by the colour and exotic flavours of South America. Notable are the Salmao Gostoso roll and sakerinhas. Ibiza's menus are updated and expanded every six months by chef Taiguara Gonçalves Germiniani. This global vibe is helped along by Italian flooring and dishware, rare French wallpapers like Les Bananier by Pierre Frey, and Scandinavian design. Ibiza's neon lights and beachy kitsch adds the most to all of the restaurants' aesthetic.

It's not just the flavours and decor that link Temakinho to Brazil, though. Part of Temakinho's profits go toward improving the lives of children living in Rio's most impoverished favelas. Temakinho is also the first multi-restaurant company to receive the Friend of the Sea award for their sustainable fishing practices.
