Sitting right next to the calm waters of Nusa Dua, Ikan at The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali is set to be the ultimate beachfront dining destination in the area. After a major renovation, the restaurant is now offering a one-of-a-kind destination to dine, drink and savour life at its best.
With its beachfront location and contemporary island look, the open-air restaurant and bar is highly visible from afar. Ikan’s thatched roof, tactile furniture and locally inspired design elements offer two different experiences during the day and the night. A casual eatery by day and an elevated dining destination by night, Ikan serves fresh seafood and Indonesian-inspired cuisine by the beach.
Led by Chef de Cuisine Fajar Kurniawan Putra, Ikan’s daytime and evening menus weave his passion for local produce with Indonesia’s vibrant regional cuisine. Having started his culinary career when he was 20 years old, the Balinese chef cut his teeth in the island’s prominent kitchens before leading Ikan. He is accompanied by another local talent, Head Mixologist Marlon Hermanto. A well-known figure in Bali’s bar scene, Marlon’s prowess in creating craft cocktails and mixing premium artisanal spirits with house-made infusions can be tasted at Ikan Bar.
Visiting guests are encouraged to share the dishes and try different things from the small bites, tapas, mains and dessert selections. Highlights include crab spring roll served with salad and tangy belimbing wuluh salsa; bulung, a refreshing seaweed salad made of seared tuna and kuah pindang scented dressing; a slow-cooked Ayam Upih Betutu, and a Jimbaran-style, freshly caught Ikan Bakar served with sayur urap vegetable and sambals.
