Christmas Destinations: John Hardy Seminyak

In a culinary nod to Indonesia’s rich heritage, John Hardy boutique and gallery in Seminyak presents an enchanting new menu, specially crafted to usher in the festive season. The brainchild of Executive Chef Tomy Suputra, this curated set menu pays homage to Indonesia’s celebratory culinary traditions, drawing inspiration from age-old recipes.

The origin of the Long Table Lunch traces back to a humble gathering at the brand’s Mambal workshop, where John Hardy’s staff, their families and patrons would convene for a communal meal. This heartwarming tradition has been lovingly upheld at the John Hardy boutique and gallery in Seminyak, offering a unique opportunity to savour the finest Indonesian cuisine while preserving the culinary customs of the island and the myriad cultures that have left their mark on it.

Nestled within the splendid two-storey gallery, jewellery emporium and dining haven, the Long Table lunches are set against a backdrop of terraced gardens and an ornate temple. This Seminyak establishment remains true to the spirit of the tradition.

With a fresh festive menu and expertly crafted cocktails, John Hardy Seminyak beckons to food enthusiasts seeking an authentic local dining experience – a perfect setting to revel with friends, family and holiday visitors during this joyful season.

This celebratory feast presents a sumptuous nine-course offering, including two delectable dessert choices. The menu showcases culinary delights such as Nasi Bakar, a local delicacy of heritage rice steamed, wrapped and grilled in banana leaves, sumptuous Sumatran beef short ribs, locally caught fish cooked to perfection in banana leaves, a signature tofu dish and more. Each meal is served with an assortment of Chef Tomy’s favourite sambals and krupuk.
