Seafood Seminyak at Bonito Restaurant
Bonito Restaurant has one simple idea: seafood in Seminyak should feel relaxed, not formal. Chef-Owner Maurizio Bombini leads the kitchen. He starts the evening with Lombok Oysters, Crunchy Prawns, Octopus Empanadas and Fish Crudo. Then dinner moves at its own pace. Meanwhile, the tables on the rooftop at Kleo, Seminyak, look out over the coastline. So the ocean view becomes part of the backdrop, while the food stays the main event.
A Seafood Restaurant in Seminyak with Handmade Pasta
Above all, the pasta sets this seafood restaurant in Seminyak apart from a typical fish grill. The kitchen makes Cavatelli Frutti di Mare, Rigatoni allo Scoglio, Tagliolini al Tonno and Bottoni in Brodo in house. Then the cooks finish each one with the same seafood they use in the raw and grilled dishes. As a result, the menu reads as one connected idea, not two separate kitchens.
