MAIZE
Bringing more diversity into the island’s culinary scene, the renowned Kilo Collective Group introduced MAIZE to the public late last year. Located in Berawa, the restaurant is helmed by Chef Jethro Vincent and Culinary Director Joshua Adjodha. The idea behind this sophisticated restaurant is simple, to bring people together through hearty food, a soulful vibe, warm conversations and unforgettable celebrations.
Taking inspiration from its name, the menu pays tribute to contemporary Latin cuisine. Diners are treated to an array of delightful dishes ranging from crispy fried tortillas and suckling pig to a creative selection of grilled meats with a touch of Southeast Asian flair. In addition to the delectable food, MAIZE also tempts your taste buds with a great selection of innovative cocktails specially crafted by award-winning Mixologist Harris Mahendra, better known as Aris Jarrot, that focus on Latin-cultivated spirits to mirror the cuisine and let the combinations of flavours shine.

UMA GARDEN
Part of the renowned Tavolo culinary group, Uma Garden is located not far from popular, bustling Seminyak, specifically in the more laidback Umalas – hence the name. Although it is a woodfire-based kitchen, the rest of the venue takes a lighter approach with its humble philosophy: bringing people together around real food. If that sounds too casually defined, take a closer look at Uma Garden. Designed based on the said philosophy, the restaurant is built around its spacious garden and the long communal tables that encompass its sharing experience principles.
The lounge and bar showcase creative concoctions in a finely curated selection of imported wines, smoky cocktails and craft beers, while the open-flame kitchen is the centre stage of it all. The woodfire-cooking is on another level, where Uma Garden not only combines the primitive method with premium ingredients, but even selects its wood as the key seasoning to bring richness and depth to the creations. The mouthwatering menu ranges from a selection of wood-fired meat and sea produce to grilled vegetables and pasta.
