From smoky feasts to global cocktails and sizzling yakitori nights, waatu’s new events bring bold flavours and unforgettable dining experiences. Get ready for fire, flavour and a whole lot of fun.
Perched within The Ungasan Clifftop Resort, waatu is continuously celebrated for its dedication to fire, embers and smoke—a philosophy that elevates every dish through the art of wood-fired cooking. Now, waatu unveils a new monthly dining series, curated to showcase bold flavours, expert craftsmanship and a thoughtfully designed culinary experience.
At the core of waatu’s approach is the belief that open-flame cooking enhances flavour in a way that no other method can. From perfectly charred meats to delicately smoked seafood, each dish reflects the restaurant’s commitment to quality and technique. The new event series brings a dynamic element to this experience, offering a carefully curated selection of evenings that highlight exceptional cuisine, innovative cocktails and a lively yet refined atmosphere.
For cocktail enthusiasts, Liquid Legends presents an opportunity to explore global beverage traditions. Held once a month, this series features a rotating selection of drinks inspired by different regions, carefully crafted by waatu’s expert bartenders. Guests can expect a harmonious blend of classic cocktails, natural wines and unique signature creations, each reflecting the essence of its place of origin.
Meanwhile, Yakitori Night with James Viles brings a modern interpretation of Japanese skewer grilling. Designed as a social and interactive dining experience, the evening showcases expertly grilled bites prepared over an open flame. Whether visiting for a casual evening or an indulgent post-beach gathering, guests will experience the depth of flavours that this time-honoured technique offers.
For those who appreciate slow-cooked, smoke-infused cuisine, Up in Smoke Night is a culinary experience not to be missed. Executive Chef Andy Photiou, renowned for his expertise in wood-fired cooking, has developed a menu that highlights the richness of this traditional approach. Featuring a selection of meats, seafood and wood-kissed specialities, the evening pays homage to the art of slow and low cooking, allowing deep, complex flavours to develop over time.
“These events are designed to bring people together over exceptional food and drinks,” shares Culinary Director James Viles. “Whether it’s an evening of innovative cocktails, an exploration of yakitori or the bold flavours of wood-fired cuisine, each experience is crafted to leave a lasting impression.”
