you’ve recently visited Nero Bali, you will have
noticed that there have been quite a few changes and additions,
not just to the size and furnishings of this unique Mediterranean
restaurant and cocktail bar, but also to the menu.
For those of you who’ve not yet visited Nero, here’s
a little bit of background…
The restaurant opened in March 2000, and is the creation
of Italian architectural designer Giovanni D’Ambrosio,
who also takes the credit for the awesome interior of
Maccaroni. Nominated as one of the twenty-five most beautiful
restaurants in the world, the multi-levelled Nero is ultra
avant-garde, with a funky monochrome theme and a myriad
of textures on every surface. The interior walls are bedecked
with 480 square metres of mirrored glass that has the
effect of multiplying the space, enveloping you inside
and producing an illusion of transparency so that you
can no longer see the boundaries. Startling water features
are enhanced by local artefacts and cascading vines; the
mirror-sheathed staircase is reminiscent of a maze.
Radiating Italian chic in every form, Nero Bali has recently
been enlarged at the front, a seamless adjustment that
creates more open-air space and incorporates a new glamorous
black bar on the left-hand side as you walk in. The original
creamy-white circular bar is still there and the plan
is to convert it into a Tapas Bar within the next couple
of months.
Indeed, Nero now boasts a new Tapas menu. Priced at between
Rp 12,000 and Rp 16,000 per dish, it includes Mediterranean
delights such as Prawn Sahanaki with feta cheese, Eggplant
Tempura with Greek dip, and sausages, stuffed calamari,
grilled octopus leg and the boat shaped pizza known as
‘Peinirli’.
Nero Bali is open every day from 10am until 1am. I suggest
you check out the gastronomic sensations, chill out in
the comfy new high-backed water-hyacinth chairs, enjoy
the up-tempo lounge music, and make the most of the frozen
drinks promotion with Margaritas, Vodkas and Martinis
for a mere Rp 24,000 each. Enjoy!
