The Restaurant
Our space boasts a modern take on old Bali's interior design, blending authentic details with contemporary elements. The whitewashed facade, hand-carved wooden interiors, and handmade furnishings evoke the nostalgic charm of old Bali, while the updated aesthetic adds a fresh and inviting feel. This homey, convivial feeling is one you get throughout the open air space the minute you enter the space.
In addition, our bar was inspired by the cozy and intimate ambiance of Japanese audiophile cafes, aka kissa, known for their high-quality audio equipment and vinyl music, as well as their relaxed atmosphere and emphasis on customer experience. Our bar, open until midnight, similarly focuses on providing a sensory experience through music and drinks, with a curated selection of premium spirits and a sound system designed to enhance the music listening experience.
Whether you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy a drink or a lively atmosphere to socialize, our bar offers a unique blend of tradition and innovation that is sure to satisfy.
We are also available for private dining and catering, and events. Whether it be a wedding, anniversary, birthday, reunion or any other type of special event large or small, our team of specialists will work closely with you to create an unforgettable experience.
It’s a unique meeting point for the five senses, providing a little oasis from the noise and activity in Seminyak.
