Find Finesse at Fika
Hospitality and lifestyle group 8 Degree Projects, known for its Sisterfields, BO$$MAN and Bikini fame, among others, recently introduced the latest endeavour in its stylish repertoire. After taking the Kayu Cendana street in Seminyak by storm with the aforementioned restaurants, the group has expanded to the ever-lively Petitenget street with fika.
The simple moniker comes from a Swedish word meaning slow down, typically over coffee and food with the aim to eat well and enjoy the company.
Focusing on honest, real, clean food, the culinary team believes in quality dishes without unnecessary garnishes. The menu revolves around fresh, local ingredients and international influences. “We didn’t want to hide behind excessive garnishes or overly complex flavours that may disguise the produce,” Executive Chef Jethro Vincent mused. “There is a revival around the world praising for honest food, and we think that aligns with our values. We are going for locally sourced and house made products, which we would like to see been more available in our day to day meals, in more cafés or restaurants..”
The design of the café itself mimics the finesse and simplicity of the menu, simple and sleek, at the same time comfortable and homey. The space is airy and bright, and the interior is smart and functional. In the spirit of the namesake word, fika is a charming venue that invites you to slow down and spend some time with friends over great food and fantastic coffee.
