Epicure (Indonesia)

DOWNTIME BY THE SEA

Eat, swim and play at Fisherman’s Club, Andaz Bali.

- Endek

Nestled within the lush ground of Asia’s first Andaz resort in Bali, Fisherman’s Club offers more than just good food. Together with the laid-back neighbourh­ood, tranquil turquoise water and swaying palm trees of Sanur, the beachfront restaurant and bar is an invitation to come and linger.

Accessible through the resort or from the beach,

Fisherman’s Club embodies Andaz Bali’s unique style. The spacious restaurant offers al fresco, semi-outdoor and bar seating to suit your whim and fancy. Sit near the open kitchen where you can see executive sous chef Benjamin Haselbeck and his team grilling freshly caught fish or other crustacean delights to perfection.

Alternativ­ely, opt for the beachfront seating should you feel like having sand between your toes or hang out at the bar for an aperitif. Colourful Balinese throw pillows and curvaceous rattan furniture gives the restaurant a cheerful panache while the surroundin­g old trees provide leafy shade from the sun. Next to the restaurant, a beach-facing main pool called Liang or joy in Balinese language, complement the experience.

Tasty nosh

As an all-day dining destinatio­n, Fisherman’s Club created two different menus for lunch and dinner. Both menus are bursting with vibrant Asian-inspired flavours, fresh locally-sourced produce and portioned for sharing. For lunch, the restaurant has come up with tantalisin­g dishes such as Wasabi Caesar Salad, Raw Tuna Bowl, The Fisherman’s Burger, and Andaz Dog (hearty pork sausage, kimchi, fried onion, pickles, and sambal mustard). Mie Goreng Cakalang has quickly gained a follower for its Manadonese-inspired flavour made of smoked skipjack tuna fish and fiery sambal rica rica.

Dinner time during weekends turns the restaurant into a seafood night market. Freshly caught barramundi, snapper or any other fish are laid on ice to be chosen and cooked to your liking, whether grilled on top of coconut charcoal or steamed with ginger, garlic, vinegar, and coriander. Recommende­d dishes include Crispy School Prawn, Spiced Pompano in Banana Leaf and Fisherman’s Fish & Seafood Platter for Two. You can also choose fish from the Raw Bar section and have them cooked a la Carpaccio, Ceviche or Fisherman’s. The latter is a zesty in-house recipe made of mango, ponzu onion, corn, lemon, and mint.

Cocktails on the beach

True to the convivial spirit of sharing is caring, the bar offers cocktails-to-share menu. Give the invigorati­ng Limoncello Punch or fresh Sanur Sangria a try. Otherwise, opt for the Fisherman’s Signature and Twisted Tropical Classic cocktails. From Kintamani Coffee Martini to Tenganan Lychee Martini with its fragrant pandan cordial, the drinks pairs well with the food and the ambience. Come for the flavours of Fisherman’s Club and stay to enjoy the pool. Outside guests are welcomed to access the main pool with the resort’s day pass at Rp250,000/person inclusive of Rp200,000
