Following the overwhelming success of his Jakarta based eatery, The Holy Crab has decided to bring this hip seafood restaurant to the culinary scene of Bali. Located on Bali’s most happening dining stretch in Petitenget, Seminyak, this cozy two-storey venue promises a Louisiana-style ambiance infused with the classic southern hospitality and a cheeky nautical look to take seafood dining to an entirely new level. After its successfully only just one year of operating in Jakarta, The Holy Crab is bringing the whole concept and experience to Bali. The restaurant will have 150 seats and we will continue to implement The Holy Crab’s three main elements, namely a wide variety of seafood, signature homemade sauce and unique serving style. The combination of world-class seafood and traditional Louisiana cooking techniques together with a chic yet comfortable dining vibe are just some of the key factors that will
set The Holy Crab apart. The choice of seafood that will be offered will range from your everyday-affordable local selections to imported exotic crabs, ensuring that the menu can be enjoyed for all occasions. The whole dining experience at The Holy Crab is fun and exciting.

Hank’s Pizza & Liquor is a rock ‘n’ roll dive bar and pizza joint in Seminyak, Bali that opened in December 2014. It is the place where everyone expects quality food, amazing cocktails and great music, in a fun and easy going spot. However, don’t let its laid back charm fool you, as Hank’s is the conception of three international chefs and one designer who all wanted to
create something unique in Bali. Above all they wanted to build a place where they would want to go with friends or family to eat and drink and have fun. Besides artisan pizza, Hank’s offers share plates, pasta, salads and desserts, all made with the highest quality ingredients, yet served at affordable prices. The guys behind Hank’s love a good strong drink, so they pride themselves on the fact that they use exceptional house spirits that are poured at 40 mls. Hank’s signature house cocktails are crafted with barrel ageing, 8 hour cold
drip coffee, home made ginger beer and fresh fruit juice. If one song lyric could describe the music at Hank’s it would be: “It’s only rock ‘n’ roll but I like it”. The name Hank’s was inspired by the nickname of Charles Bukowski, the great American writer, poet, drinker, lover and fighter. In it’s design, Hank’s captures the essence of some great New York dive bars, which were once ornate establishments built in the early 20th century, that have taken on a grungier edge with time.

The rumours and buzz about Hong Kong’s best burgers making their way to our little island. The Butchers Club, considered by foodies and culinary critics alike to be offering up the best burgers in Hong Kong, has now opened its doors in Bali and is serving up its signatures smack bang in the middle of Seminyak.
THE BUTCHERS CLUB – BALI
Located on Jl Cendrawasih (off jalan Petitenget), the Butchers Club’s newest addition in Bali has all the ingredients to become the island’s definitive go-to destination for the most cracking burgers in town. While the original Hong Kong flagship in the urban district of Wan Chai is a tiny hole-in-the-wall, this latest incarnation has embraced a relaxed island vibe and spread out a little more, with a 1200 square foot interior and the Butchers Beer Garden for long, lazy nights swigging bourbon under the stars. The official menu is simple: one burger and duck fat fries. They are not talking just any burger though. For those that aren’t content with just one burger, there’s a limited edition on the (not so secret) Secret Menu which might just contain another five special offerings, including the cult Double Happiness burger and a sneak peek of the Captain Ahab barramundi burger, to keep your taste buds happy little campers. Some of them are blink-and-you’ll-miss-it specials while others might just stick around. Because they’re that good. Mouth not watering yet? Tripled-cooked duck fat fries and a line-up of some serious bourbon should sort that out.
