Bali is probably one of the world’s most famous holiday destinations. With beautiful beaches, amazing surfing spots, and friendly locals, the Indonesian island is home to some of the best hotels and restaurants.
Since opening its doors in Bali just a few years ago, The Apurva Kempinski Bali has become one of the most preferred luxury lodgings for visitors who prefer the finer things in life. And with the opening of the hotel, comes their spectacular dining options. One in particular, known as The Koral Restaurant stands out compared to the other outlets due to its truly unique concept and design. And here we list down five important reasons why you must dine at this luxurious eatery.
1. It is Bali’s 1st Aquarium Restaurant
That’s right. To experience dining ‘underwater’ then you must dine at the Koral Restaurant. As it is built underground within a gigantic aquarium, it gives diners the illusion of eating ‘underwater’. Just imagine enjoying your exquisite meal surrounded by a myriad of colours made by schools of fish swimming next to you! Truly, spectacular!
2. Seasonal exquisite menus
The menu changes according to season as the restaurant always has something new to offer. Quite often, the menu is greatly influenced by local tastebuds and international styles. A fusion of Indonesian and foreign ingredients conjure some of the best meals you have ever tasted. This is complemented with an amazing display of food presentation that seems freshly plucked out of a fantasy movie. Complete with smoke effects and toiling bubbles!
3. The menu is prepared by world-class renowned chefs
Being a fine dining establishment that belongs to a world-famous luxury hotel brand, it is only befitting that the masterminds behind the restaurant’s menu consists of only the best in the trade. For the current season, French native, Michelin-starred chef Jean-Baptiste Natali takes the lead in the kitchen as he introduces diners to a whole new meaning of high-end gastronomy.
4. Social media worthy shots!
Any form of visual capture is bound to turn out beautiful within the grounds of the restaurant or even the resort itself. Restaurant guests will get to witness a diver swimming from table to table (within the aquarium’s reach) as he feeds the fish in the large tank. These lovely schools of fish tail the diver and provides a naturally luminous portrait thanks to their bright fluorescent colours under the sea. The diver will also take a moment to pose at all the tables, allowing diners to immortalize the vision in video or photo format! Definitely a must try!
5. Friendly and helpful restaurant staff
On top of the amazing food, exquisite interior design and breathtaking underwater vistas, the staff are also very helpful and friendly. Greeting you with smiles from the very entrance right down to your last dessert, the establishment evidently takes pride in giving their best Balinese hospitality.
Clearly these are just a fragment of reasons why the Koral restaurant is worth a visit. There are many other reasons for you to check out the venue, but we believe it is best for you to find them out yourself as we are certain you will want to return!
