Mediterranean Oasis by the Sea: A Culinary Delight at Melia Bali's Sateria Restaurant
Sateria Restaurant, nestled directly next to the white sandy beach, epitomizes the harmonious blend of nature and gastronomy. Convenient pathways along the beachside provide easy access for both in-house and public guests. The restaurant's open-air ambiance, caressed by gentle sea breezes, is further enhanced by the lush green canopy, creating a natural shade that shields diners from the tropical sun. We enjoyed our dining while enamored by the undulating blue Ocean wave beyond the shore. It is in this idyllic setting that we embarked on a culinary adventure, surrounded by Bali's classic tropical vibe.
The Scintillating Starters
Our gastronomic exploration commenced with an enticing array of fresh seafood and vegetable delights. The Octopus Ceviche proved to be a flavorful revelation, combining confit octopus tentacle, tangy tomato sauce, creamy avocado, refreshing cucumber, crispy red onion, and a hint of zesty lime. This exquisite creation was served alongside crispy cornitos chips, adding a delightful crunch to each bite. Next, the Mix Quinoa Organic presented a wholesome medley of red quinoa, roasted pumpkin, juicy pomegranate seeds, creamy avocado, a bounty of farmhouse vegetables, peppery rocket leaves, and a tantalizing lemon dressing. It was a testament to Sateria's commitment to sustainability, as some of the ingredients were sourced directly from the hotel's organic garden. This conscientious approach to dining elevated the experience, ensuring a feast that was both delicious and environmentally conscious. Alternatively, guests can opt for the classic Caesar Salad, featuring succulent chicken breast, crisp romaine lettuce, savory bacon, garlic croutons, and a creamy Caesar dressing. Another tempting option is the Mozzarella Burrata Salad, where the creaminess of the burrata cheese blends harmoniously with the herb bloom, drizzles of olive oil, and balsamic dressing, creating a symphony of sweet, creamy, and tangy flavors.
Delectable Main Courses
As our appetites reached their zenith, we eagerly delved into Sateria's captivating selection of main courses, showcasing an exquisite fusion of fresh seafood and succulent meats. Fish enthusiasts were spoilt for choice with the Seabass Fillet and Salmon Fillet, both expertly prepared to perfection. The Seabass Fillet featured a generous portion of flaky fish accompanied by an ensemble of grilled asparagus, tender cauliflower, and a luscious roasted puree or vibrant salsa verde. The Salmon Fillet, equally tempting, tantalized the taste buds with its succulent flesh, accompanied by a medley of grilled asparagus, creamy cauliflower, and the refreshing notes of roasted puree or zesty salsa verde. Additionally, the grilled jumbo prawns emerged as a true delicacy, their plump and juicy flesh paired harmoniously with fresh baby zucchini and a delightful sauce vierge. This perfectly grilled ensemble was a testament to Sateria's commitment to capturing the essence of the Mediterranean.
For those with a penchant for meat, Sateria did not disappoint. The Australian Striploin, a carnivorous delight, showcased a slab of tender, premium steak cooked to your liking and served with baby potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, crisp green beans, and a decadent Maitre D'Hotel butter. This dish embodied the epitome of indulgence, allowing each bite to be savored with unrivaled pleasure. The Lamb Loin Tagine was a revelation for a taste of the Mediterranean. Featuring Australian lamb loin, the succulent meat was complemented by a bed of fluffy semolina couscous, tender apricots, luscious dates, and a colorful array of mixed vegetables. The aromatic blend of flavors transported us to the sun-drenched landscapes of the Mediterranean, allowing us to savor the true essence of this culinary oasis.
A Sweet Finale
As the feast drew to a close, a delightful selection of homemade cakes awaited, promising to cleanse our palates and leave us with a lasting impression. The tangy Lemon Yuzu Tart dazzled with its vibrant citrus flavors, offering a tantalizing balance of sweet and tart notes. The Cheesecake with Berry Sauce delighted with its velvety texture and the burst of fruity goodness from the accompanying berry sauce. The Exotic Apple Tart showcased the finest local apples, expertly baked into a delicate pastry and infused with exotic spices. Meanwhile, the Citrus Tart is tantalized with a medley of zesty citrus flavors, its refreshing profile leaving a lingering zest on the palate. However, the true showstopper was the Chocolate Moelleux, a classic masterpiece that delighted even the most discerning chocolate lover. With its moist and rich chocolate cake encasing a molten chocolate center, every bite was an explosion of pure indulgence.
