Calling all meat lovers! Although Bali may be known as the mecca for healthy food, meat lovers can rejoice over the fact that the island is also home to one of the best steakhouses in the country!
Here is a list of the best steakhouses to cure your meat cravings.
AKASA - Uluwatu
Situated on the topmost level of Jumeirah Bali, the newly opened signature restaurant AKASA places diners in the midst of nature, sea, and sky with awe-inspiring views across the island’s gin-clear waters and romantic sunset panoramas.
Inspired by the Majapahit era, the golden age of Java, the elegant restaurant invites guests to relax over lunch in the sun or an alfresco moonlit dinner to make the most of Bali’s balmy climate. Inside, the chic décor evokes a stately banquet hall where a royal Javanese family would entertain an intimate group of friends amid the splendor and royal ceremony.
AKASA’s Asian fusion menu created by Chef Joan Achour delights with rich, smoky flavors of Bali while referencing Thai, Japanese, and Korean cuisines as well. By focusing on dishes that are perfect for sharing, Chef Joan pays tribute to Bali’s time-honored tradition of serving family-style meals on large platters and inviting everyone to help themselves.
Meat lovers, meanwhile, will delight in a mains selection that features corn-fed spring chicken marinated with organic chilli; wagyu tenderloin MB 8/9 with Chinese apple and truffle; tender lamb rack with yakiniku sauce; and premium T-bone and tomahawk steaks served with a choice of sides and sauces.
