The Winner of Exquisite Awards 2022 – Best Latin Restaurant Bali: Santanera
In the middle of an eclectic area in Canggu, where you can find anything from weekend markets and breakfast cafes, to speakeasy bars and luxury villas, Santanera stands tall, offering a casual, yet stylish destination to enjoy contemporary cuisine, fine wines and curated cocktails. Spanning three floors, including a chic rooftop called Terraza, the restaurant is helmed by talented Chefs Andres Becerra and German Rincon from Colombia.
The main focus is on refining and crafting organic, farm-to-plate produce into modern tapas-style dishes that are meant to be shared with loved ones. That’s the main idea behind Santanera, a good time shared with good friends over good food and drinks. The menu at Santanera showcases the finest delicacies from Europe and the Mediterranean, and of course, Latin America.
All-time favourite Latin dishes can be found, like Colombian empanada with duck and wild mushrooms, or the one with mozzarella and smoked tomatoes. Spanish-style raw and cured sausage, sobrasada, can also be found on the menu, made with pork, paprika, semolina crumpet, whipped chickpeas and salsa criolla.
Of course, discerning palates should not miss the ceviche section, offering hamachi with plantain crackers, leche de tigre and gooseberries; ceviche mixto with green lip mussels, tiger prawns and fish bone emulsion; and the red snapper with passion fruit, quinoa and finger lime. On the main course front, the dry-aged duck is simply divine and the char-grilled octopus is a must-try.
