Love affairs have always arrived in many shapes and forms, from the purple and orange hazed tones of a Bali sunset to the green shades of shimmering rice paddies that seem to mesmerize travellers, the undeniable power of our senses takes hold and won’t let go. Cuisine is no stranger either, some restaurants in Bali have a legendary mystique all their own, able to draw in guests time and time again with sumptuous aromas that wet taste buds from all over the world.
After a very long and storied rise to one of Bali’s culinary delights, the former owners of Kafe Warisan have transported their winning combination of 5-star French Mediterranean cuisine to a larger and more all-encompassing location in Petitenget now known as MÉTIS. Still providing the same level of service, class, and awe inspiring cookery, MÉTIS invites former Kafe Warisan patrons and newcomers alike to partake in this new multi-functional property.
Upon entry, the richly brown façade of MÉTIS gives way to a beautifully designed contemporary colonial style establishment. The melding of modernistic and traditional batik inspired Indonesian forms creates an aesthetically pleasing playground of architectural wonder. MÉTIS now welcomes guests with an art gallery and boutique with works from all over the Asian continent, a pastry shop serving fine delectables, an upstairs event room that can house large parties with its own dedicated kitchen, bar, and service, and of course the main attraction, the new 260-seat restaurant area complete with its own bar and lounge and private dining areas. This area in particular is moving due to the natural timbers and clean lines in its makeup while fans of dining under the stars and that gorgeous rice paddy view spread across the horizon, reminiscent of Kafe Warisan, need not worry as this pure environment trumps all.
Classically trained chef and owner Nicolas “Doudou” Tourneville has been a part of this conception from the start along with partner Said Alem. Guiding plates of flavourful dishes from kitchen to table has been their combination of success and continues again at MÉTIS.
The high-profiled team of chefs that Chef Tourneville has assembled offer a variety of original cuisine with starters like King Crab and Seaweed Ravioli with White Truffle Beurre Blanc and Grilled Fresh Japanese Scallops with Gratined Sea Urchin Sauce. Main courses feature dishes such as the Moroccan Lamb Rack Mechoui served with Pumpkin Couscous or Fresh Scallops and Prawns Provençal with Baby Roasted Potato, Asparagus, and Shimeji Mushrooms. Desserts include different pastries and inventions but none as heavenly as the Chocolate Soufflé, quite honestly the best on the island.
Private dining and wine celebration is unveiled with a new private cellar dining room as well that is literally walled with hundreds of various bottle selections from around the world. Tasting the fanfare of MÉTIS’ culinary choices while indulging in a multitude of wine options is complete with a personal butler and wine sommelier, a true fine dining experience.
MÉTIS is opened for lunch, dinner seating at 5PM, while the bar and lounge stays opened till 2AM. Also in the plans is their new daily high tea time, brunch on Sundays, and for New Years Eve, a set menu to ring in 2010 with style and grace that only MÉTIS knows how to deliver…let the festival of senses commence.
