Barbacoa Bali

Barbacoa opened in Seminyak in 2013 and cooks almost everything over fire. Rambutan and coffee wood feed an open asado pit, a parrilla grill and a wood-fired oven, and the menu spans an Argentinian steakhouse and a Mexican taqueria. Signatures include Black Angus and Wagyu steaks from the grill, whole heritage pig roasted on the asado, charcoal-grilled seafood such as tiger prawns, and flame-cooked seasonal vegetables. The bar mixes balanced cocktails, and the cellar holds Old and New World wines, including natural and biodynamic bottles. The warehouse space has high ceilings, sandstone walls, recycled timber, mosaic floors and leather banquettes under moody lighting. It opens for dinner from 5:30 PM and suits couples, groups and meat lovers; groups of ten or more should contact the restaurant, as a deposit may apply.
