Tapa Bistro offers the chance to enjoy tasty tapas and relaxed mingling with occasional acoustic performance every Wednesday and Saturday sets in a chic, al fresco setting in Bali’s beautiful Nusa Dua area.

Handily located in The Bale resort, its sophisticated purple colour scheme and moody lighting wouldn’t look out of place in Manhattan, but the open front and tropical planting are Bali all the way.

The menu is global facing and designed for sharing, making this spot ideal for groups of friends looking for a glamorous evening out.

Enjoy luxurious Western favourites such as veal carpaccio with foie gras and goat cheese ravioli, all served with panache from quality ingredients, or opt for a taste of Bali with traditional dishes like sate lilit - tasty seafood satay.

There are two cocktail menus to choose from. The first showcases all the classics alongside ‘market fresh’ pours, served with fruit from the local market. The special cocktails have even more of the ‘wow’ factor.

We can’t get enough of the affogato martini, an experience to savour thanks to homemade rum and vanilla ice cream. We’ll drink to that!
