Named after the two bold and vibrant colours of the national flag, Merah Putih is a celebration of Indonesia; it’s cuisinem, culture, design and people. Merah Putih is Bali newest and most complete Indonesian dining experience, set in a sumptuous environment and created around a simple concept: to provide an exceptional culinary adventure regardless of the time, day weather conditions.

Merah Putih provides a space for dining like no other in Indonesia and a menu that will both comfort purists and delight more adventurous dinner. At Merah Putih the grandeur of the architecture is balanced by atmosphere of intimacy once you are seated. Importantly, no matter when you visit, the fantastic impact of the surrounds will be fully felt; there’s no flurry of re-organisation required when the bali monsoon hits.

The main dining area seats 140 people comfortably across the main floor and another 24 in three teak pods on a mezzanine. The pods, inspired by

MERAH PUTIH RESTAURANT

traditional ceremonial baskets, allow for a more personalised experience on special occasions and private gatherings.

The menu at Merah Putih is separated into two section, each presenting an opportunity to discover a different kind of Indonesian cuisine. In the ‘traditional’ section, unpretentious, simple cooking procedures highlighted the refined of regional dishes using specially selected tender meats, locallly sourced produced and the very best aromatic spices.

In the ‘baru’ or ‘modern’ section you’ll find imaginative culinary creations, which take as their basis the best Indonesian’s traditional ingredients. Jalan Petitenget No 100x, Kerobokan - Bali 80361+62 361 846 [email protected]

Nestled amongst the coco palms and glassy swells of Seminyak, Bali, lives the tropical oasis known as MOTEL MEXICOLA. Put your thinking shoes on and envision the lovechild of 1960s Acapulco and Ricky Ricardo (from “I Love Lucy”) on a belly full of Huichole endorsed Peyote and seven lashings of Mezcal. Hopefully you are not thinking of a motel in Miami with an all you can eat buffet?! Rest assured we are not your average Motel and if you want to sleep over, then try your luck. At least until there is some sort of reform on marriage, we propose the sacred union between you “the customer” and us, “the-f$%&-yeah-amazing-antojeria-and-tequileria”.

Renowned Chiapas “chiapaneco” chef, Silverio Martinez, brings his “espirítu salvaje” to the plate and straight into your cake hole. With modern takes on “Comida Mexicana” traditional plates, to modern attacks on humble tasty-as-$%* street food and morsels. This is not to forget the booze and liquor - Nicolaza Que Pasa knows where to add the salt, where to put the tajín and exactly how much limon cabrone. So........ So the menu will be staring proper tacos, proper tostadas, aguachile, quesadillas and other legit antojitos (that’s tapas). And it will make all the nachos and grey burritos you’ve ever ate look like the decaying corpse of Hernán Cortés. After one try of our saliva-triggering food you will probably be happy to eat it off the ground! We do.Saludos – EAT-AT-MEXICOLA

Naughty Nuri’s Warung/Batubelig has been rocking since September 2010. Sister branch to the infamous Nuri’s in Ubud, the branch in Batubelig offers a front terrace, an indoor dining area and lush back garden terrace for all our naughty gourmands.

Prominently displayed is a naughty blackboard for those who have drank four or more martinis to sign, graffiti blackboards in the bathrooms to scribble on a foosbal table for regular tournaments. There really is nothing like warung anywhere else! Jalan Batubelig 41,Kerobokan, Bali+62 361 847 [email protected]
