Our top picks from L Hotel Seminyak
We’ve raved about Bali’s coolest new boutique hotel, L Hotel Seminyak, before for its elegant marriage of modern design and local Balinese heritage, strikingly stylish interior, and an impressive 24/7 dedicated butler service. But other than oozing understated opulence, this member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World is spoiling you foodies with a whopping nine culinary offerings! Can’t spare the time (or space) to eat your way through them all? No worries; here are our top picks to help you out.
Kappo Teppanyaki at Kitano
Tucked in a corner of L Hotel Seminyak’s rooftop, the intimate, exclusive Kitano is all about premium teppanyaki creations showcased in a highly pampering kappo experience. The traditional concept of kappo casts the spotlight on how a dish is crafted – from the preparation of ingredients, process of cooking, to the final plating. So, expect a sensory spectacular as you’ll get to admire the chefs skillfully prepare delicate dishes (using only top quality produce), which they’ll serve directly to you across the counter.
Art of Indonesian at Lola
Located on the mezzanine level, this cozy restaurant dishes out reinvented Indonesian delicacies with a dash of cosmopolitan Western flair. Their signature dishes include Nasi Cobek – a platter of sautéed vegetables, dry beef curry, prawns, boiled egg, tofu, and bean cake complemented with a side of prawn crackers, chicken meat in chilli sauce, and rice – and other tantalising plates like Sate Ayam (chicken skewers), Sate Telor Puyuh (quail egg skewers), and Sate Udang (king prawn skewers).
Afternoon tea at the Lobby Lounge
It’s no secret that we adore lounging over a spot of afternoon tea, and L Hotel Seminyak does an exquisite job of offering a decadent afternoon tea set, daily from 3 to 6pm, at their Lobby Lounge. Think delicate sarnies, freshly baked scones, assorted cookies, and Indonesian desserts like kue-kue, displayed stylishly in a gorgeous bird cage. If you’re a fan of TWG’s quality tea selection, you’ll be glad to know that you can pair your pastries with your favourite TWG tea!
Tipples at Luna Roof Bar
A stay at L Hotel Seminyak wouldn’t be complete without spending an evening at Luna Rooftop Bar. Take in the ocular wonder of Bali’s glorious landscape and sip on a bespoke cocktail concocted by resident mixologist, Dr. Cocktail. A total wizard at his craft, he creatively incorporates Asian spices and flavours like lemongrass, palm sugar, chilies, ginger, and cardamom into many of his tipples. We highly recommend the L’Cooler – an exotic blend of Balinese passion fruit, dark Myer’s rum, lemon grass, lime, and ginger ale – and their popsicohol pairings, which are a selection of homemade local fruit juice based popsicles paired with a variety of wine, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages.
