The boys are back in town, the Urchin boys that is, with the beloved Bali restaurant’s star players back on the Indonesian dining scene with a brand new venue in tow. Uni is set to launch early October, the first restaurant from the combined efforts of Urchin’s former star chef Steven Skelly and drinks guru Nicolas Lento.
As for their latest venture, the design-savvy new 70-seater in the heart of Berawa is a self-described ‘casual fine diner’ that has been crafted in a collaboration between Steven and Design by Design Assembly. The artwork which lines the walls is a part of another special collaboration, this time with French artist Yaz and his collection Fair Le Off. As for the food, an amalgamation of Asian inspiration and contemporary techniques, the menu is a foray through Japanese flavours (among others) and sophisticated dishes to match its equally sophisticated (and rather unusual) tipple.
