Omnivore - Ibiza to close
Another Spanish restaurant bites the dust

Ibiza, the Spanish bar and restaurant next to Imperial Fez on Peachtree, is closing at the end of the month. Whatta bummer. The restaurant’s website says it has lost its lease, but I hear through the grapevine that the fetching place suffered from poor sales.
It’s a mystery to me why Spanish restaurants don’t tend to last in Atlanta (although Ibiza did not really feature anything like a pure Spanish tapas bar). The most recent serious effort, Cuerno, tanked, was reborn as a taqueria and tanked again a few months ago. We still have the Iberian Pig in Decatur.
Eclipse di Luna also serves some authentic tapas, as do Noche and Krog Bar. But that’s about it. Why?
