Description

Inside the Peninsula Hotel, this Balinese-inspired restaurant features dark bamboo seats, bronze cutlery, floral touches and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the view of a koi pond. The airy pavilion, separate from the main room, feels especially atmospheric. The Indian chef leads a richly spiced tour of South and Southeast Asia – crispy catfish salad, bold curries and tôm nướng tiger prawns stand out. An exotic venue for dinner with friends.
