Tabu

The road between Padang Padang Beach and Sulaban Beach holds something very special. An artful combination of Mexican spirit and Japanese elegance, Tabu is a one-of-a-kind restaurant that places community and contemporary beauty at the heart of everything.

A small and intimate venue, Tabu succeeds in making every guest feel treasured. Their upstairs dining room hosts a large table that seats 20 lucky diners. Perfect for bringing friends, family and strangers together, this table basks in the sunlight that streams through the glasshouse that encases it. Come the evening, the candles are lit and a soft glow illuminates proceedings, creating a remarkable atmosphere unlike anything else. Admire the evening from this particular vantage point.

The menu invites you to mix and match flavours, experiment with exciting textures, and broaden your culinary horizons. From crispy truffle parmesan croquettes and karaage chicken to crunchy tacos with coconut prawns, baja fish and cauliflower, there are bold bites everywhere you look.

If you fancy a taste of Japan, look to their delicate ceviches, melt-in-the-mouth sashimi and sushi selection. Whether you like your sticky rice topped with smoked salmon, ahi tuna or smoked avocado, there's a tasty morsel for everyone. And for that all-in-one magic, their kuburimaki rolls combine classic fillings like spicy tuna and aburi salmon with unpredictable companions like cauliflower tempura, mango and jalapeno mayo. Where Mexican and Japanese cuisine is given a new look, Tabu isn't afraid of breaking a taboo.
