About BASABASI BALI RESTAURANT

Thick cuts of satay sizzle over an open wood-fire hearth at this lively Seminyak grill house. Diners pull up high chairs along a communal timber table, trading stories while cooks fan glowing charcoal right in front of them. The kitchen turns out succulent pork skewers and aromatic ayam bakar paired with fresh sambal matah, alongside botanical craft gin and tonics infused with local herbs. Dinner wraps up quietly with a scoop of chef-crafted pumpkin ice cream.

  • Open Wood-Fire Grilling: Pork and chicken skewers charred over glowing wood embers right beside the dining seats.
  • Botanical Gin & Tonic Pairings: Herbal and botanical gin and tonic variations crafted specifically to balance rich, spiced meats.
  • Communal Long Table: Single long-table dining arrangement designed for easy conversation among travelers and locals alike.

    The beverage program pairs smoky Balinese dishes with specialized botanical and herbal gin and tonic creations developed over years of refinement.

    They have different variations with herbs and botanicals, and every one I tried just worked so well.

  • Welcoming Shared Dining Atmosphere

    Solo travelers and small parties enjoy a relaxed atmosphere where the setting fosters organic conversation rather than eating in silence.

    The conversations were a real genuine bonus.

    We also ordered the grilled chicken, which was incredibly juicy and marinated in rich Balinese spices. Definitely a must-order.
