New Delhi,
Seasalt opens its doors on the 20th May 2017 for public. Inspired by its spectacular oceanfront setting and the locally harvested sea salt, Seasalt will be the must-go seafood destination whilst strolling around the Seminyak area. Seasalt marks the start of a tantalizing new seascape dining experience, with a dash of Japanese infusion, exciting palates with an enticing taste of the sea in their fresh seafood selection.
Some creations to drool over include White Snapper, Seasalt’s signature sea salt baked fish; Niçoise, the famous fresh French salad that comes with Katsuobushi and two-year-old black miso; and the beautiful Blue Swimmer Crab, where crab mayonnaise meets chawanmushi. To accompany such delish ocean cuisine, an artisanal centerpiece made of sea salt will be showcased at dinner times.
Besides enjoying a taste of the sea, diners at Seasalt will find themselves immersed in the sensation of sailing on the ocean, thanks to its inspired design. “This restaurant was envisioned to be an extension of the ocean, sited in a manner that gives diners a feel that one is on a boat. Its layout and materials reflect the colors and waves of the ocean,” shares Gaurang Khemka of URBNarc, the architectural firm behind the design.
Stepping into Seasalt will take you into what resembles a stylish seaside residence dominated by ocean hues and cozy décor, creatively curated by EDG. The vibrancy of an open kitchen, the changing patterns of light and shadow on the outdoor decks throughout the day, and the feel of the ocean breeze also serve to create a remarkable sense of openness and connection to the ocean for a relaxed coastal dining experience.
