There are a couple of tantalising meat options but it feels like you’d be missing the point somewhat. The seafood is sourced locally every morning in Jimbaran and complemented by vegetables, herbs and salads from the restaurant’s organic farm in the mountain village of Bedugul. The Banyuwangi scallops served warm on the half shell with Asian 3 salsa was the pick of our starters and not just because we love the word. The grilled whole fish ‘Jimbaran’ style was a delight. Catch of the day on our visit was the snapper and we also tested the pan roasted mahi mahi, which was excellent. The ‘cuisine de soleil’ is intentionally light – ideal for this climate and thankfully that enabled us to have room for the Guanaja chocolate fondant to finish off a great experience. Bottle of wine: 550,000 – 3,500,000 Rp++ Bottle of Bintang: 40,000 Rp++ The Verdict Sardine matches up to the very best on the island in terms of culinary offerings, but allies them with an arena that you’ll fall in love with; a place that combines the best of nature’s design with nature’s finest foodstuffs. 4 www.essential-bali.com 47
