Mediterranean Delights AT CHACHARA SEMINYAK

Spice

Chachara Seminyak is a place to eat, drink and to share the experience of enticing Mediterranean delights. Serving a Mediterranean-style menu, Chachara Seminyak is a restaurant and bar quietly located down a bambooclad alleyway off bustling Jalan Batu Belig.

Food Meets Street Art at AYA STREET

Spice

A well designed and comfortable interior features a carefully curated selection of street artwork displayed on the walls to give an interesting atmosphere that is sure to attract a discerning diner’s attention. Aya Street specialises in Peruvian fusion cuisine blending influences from Peru’s indigenous Inca people with elements introduced by Asian migrants with a focus on Peruvian-Japanese (Nikkei) and Peruvian-Chinese (Chifa) fusion. The kitchen uses fresh, Balinese produce sourced from local growers to give an Indonesian twist. At Aya Street, the food is casual and created to be shared. I sampled a wonderful 5-course meal that is served in smaller portions. The meal started with fish soup, followed by Leche De Tigre (calamari and ceviche), tasty and uniquely presented. This was...

Bali’s first Meat Boutique at BOY’N’COW

Spice

As the name suggests, this Seminyak restaurant offers high-quality beef carefully selected from sustainable and organic farms in Australia and the USA. As any steak connoisseur knows, getting the very best from a piece of steak depends on how it is aged to get the meat’s natural enzymes to work their magic. Boy’N’Cow uses a dry ageing process in which the meat is stored in a cool, humidity climate controlled environment for 28 days. This produces succulent, tender steaks that melt in your mouth. I started my meal with hamachi ceviche with orange, radish, onion and yuzu vinaigrette and continued with foie gras with port grape jam and toasted brioche. For the main course, I selected a classic 280grm ribeye, cooked medium rare and served with side dishes of steak chips with truffle and parm...
