Hello🖐️ On my first day in Bali, I dined at Skai Bar & Grill, one of the restaurants at the Padma Resort Legian, which I had booked in advance. It’s a stylish modern take on a classic beach house, where you can enjoy a meal and cocktails facing the ocean. You can swim in the infinity pool with a beautiful sunset and listen to live music from a DJ, so it’s a great atmosphere.
Directions to the restaurant – Legian Beach
We had already made a reservation for dinner at Skai Bar & Grill, a restaurant at Padma Resort Legian. On the way, we were lucky enough to see an amazing sunset from Legian Beach, and the orange color of the sunset and the sea in Bali was amazing👍 It’s hard to get a good sunset because of the weather, so it was nice to see it on our first day.
There are many restaurants and bars with great views along Legian Beach. It was nice to walk around and take it easy : )
When entering Skai Bar & Grill from the beach side, you’ll see this blue sign. The sign and entrance are not large from the beach side, so I didn’t see the entrance and walked right past it.
Skai Bar & Grill, Padma Resort Legian
Skai Bar & Grill is a restaurant at Padma Resort Legian, a famous 5-star hotel. The clientele ranged from young to middle-aged, and the atmosphere was relaxed and nice, with families, couples, and anyone else feeling comfortable visiting👍 There are indoor and outdoor tables, and you can choose to sit wherever you like.
The whole atmosphere of the restaurant is really romantic, you can watch the sunset overlooking the ocean and enjoy your meal with live music from the DJ, it really makes you feel like you’re traveling 😉 The infinity pool inside the restaurant is also very attractive, right?
Dining at Skai Bar & Grill
The menu of Skai Bar & Grill can be viewed in advance on the official website. The dishes are Mediterranean in style, with a blend of Levantine (Middle Eastern) flavors. It’s a restaurant run by a 5-star hotel, but the prices are quite reasonable👍 The dishes emphasize fresh and healthy ingredients, and the spices are not strong, so the food is suitable for everyone, young and old.
We ordered a cocktail first, which was recommended by the staff, and the color is so pretty 👍 It’s made with tropical ingredients unique to Bali, so you can really feel the citrusy taste. It’s not too strong, so even we who are not good at drinking were able to enjoy it.
The first dish we ordered was the Burrata cheese, which is a perfect appetizer for a meal. You can cut the burrata cheese into round pockets and mix it with nuts, and the texture of the soft, creamy cheese and savory nuts is so good👍.
The accompanying dish is Flatbread, which looks a bit like an Indian naan, but is light and chewy enough to keep you coming back for more.
Smoked octopus manakish was the best dish of the night for me personally👍 Smoked octopus manakish is a Middle Eastern flatbread-style dish with thin slices of cooked octopus, topped with a lot of cilantro, which I really enjoyed because of its subtle cilantro flavor. I’m not a big fan of gose, but this combination was delicious.
The next dish was the Quinoa tabbouleh. The quinoa-filled tabbouleh was light and refreshing, with an interesting chewy texture and a nice combination of fresh tomatoes, cucumber, and lemon juice.
Okay, now for the main course. Oven baked roasted snapper en papillote (Oven baked roasted snapper en papillote). Papillote means “wrapped in paper” in French, so the fish was actually served in a pile of paper and then the paper was cut on the fly. The fish was very flavorful and moist👍.
The highlight of the meal was the lamb shank tagine. The cartoonish meaty visuals caught my eye, but the lamb was cooked so tender that it fell apart very easily, and the deep flavors of spices and herbs permeated the meat, giving it a tender, deep taste : )
