I’m a firm believer that food is art, this is particularly evident in Japanese cuisine. Meticulous presentation and flavour combination. If you want to experience just how beautiful a meal could be, go to Indigo Canggu, the latest Japanese restaurant in Berawa Canggu. Step inside and the intimate experience begins immediately.
Drawing on Capri’s heritage, Da Maria Bali turns out as an elegant Italian-inspired 60’s classic courtyard restaurant of The Amalfi Coast with a modern touch. Located at the top of Jalan Petitenget, the latest creation of Australian Restaurateur Maurice Terzini, in collaboration with Adrian Reed from Motel Mexicola, is the new kid on the block to the busy street, helping the area to become a top food destination and a neighborhood hit for cocktails.
For foodies, long distance for a taste buds’ treat isn’t an obstacle but more like a pilgrim. We could travel miles to visit a new restaurant or taste the latest creations of a Chef. So we went! Direction Ubud, for the day, to (re)discover, the now classic, but lately revamped, Hujan Locale Ubud. All gastronomes in Bali know very well the man behind this venture.
Those who obsessively follow the travails of Bali chefs know the story of Steve Skelly by heart. The toque, who built a reputation as one of the island’s most repu’table eatery, flipped from avant-garde cuisine to Mexican street food, sending shock waves through the Gotham food scene when moving to Motel Mexicola. The place, well-known for its extreme parties on any given night, is now a serious contender on the dining panorama of Bali...
With all the nightlife going on, breakfast often just happens at lunchtime. Bali is a brunch kind of place but rarely on Saturdays. And since we are on a tropical island, the best place to brunch is near the water, isn’t it? For those who haven’t had the pleasure of visiting Mrs Sippy Bali yet, the place lends itself to some great parties, but not only. Its Saturday’s Brunch is not to miss out.
