The proposal will be open in Ibiza until the summer of 2025.
The Turkish chef, Nusret Gokce, also known as ‘salt bae’ says it is the ‘most important project’ of his life.
The arguable star has been making waves in the food world for his 24-carat gold-plated steaks and extravagant salt beef.
He first rose to fame after a video of him spraying salt extravagantly went viral in 2017, becoming a recognizable meme.
Since then, he has an empire of restaurants in the United States, Greece, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Now, he has chosen Ibiza for his biggest project yet, investing some 100 million euros.
In addition to a restaurant, the chef will build a building with 51 apartments, four restaurants and a car park with 80 spaces.
Gokce saw the structure on December 6 last year, when the work began.
He posted various videos and pictures from the site, boasting ‘eating, dancing, drinking, sleeping, enjoying the lifestyle of my new project in Ibiza’.
Named ‘Nusret Residence and Restaurants’, the complex will be between Passeig Joan Carles I and 8 d’ Agost, near the Ibiza Gran Hotel.
Although the main points of the 4 restaurants are kept secret, it is most likely that “Salt Bae” is home to at least one of the most famous steakhouses.
Serving up outrageously expensive steaks, the venues have been visited by stars including Leonardo DiCaprio and footballer Ivan Rakitic.
While there, Gökce met the architect in charge of construction, José Ribas, who designed the construction of Las Boas in Evissa and the Hotel Sir Joan.
A few hours later, while boarding his personal jet, the chef hinted that he might open a steakhouse in Madrid, taking his empire to 24 establishments.
