A Tapestry of Latin Flavors in the Heart of Canggu, Bali
With an unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation in the culinary landscape, Sunset Hospitality Group (SHG) is thrilled to launch its newest jewel, Santana Brasserie Latina. This Latin colonial-inspired restaurant, nestled in the vibrant heart of Canggu, is a harmonious blend of sophisticated dining and powerful, vibrant flavors of Latin America.
Upon entering Santana, one is enveloped in a warm, cozy atmosphere that marries the rustic Colonial charm of a classic brasserie with the fiery essence of a Latin fiesta. Every dish is a vivid mosaic of Latin heritage—a culinary celebration where the pristine freshness and sterling quality of ingredients are the stars of the show.
It’s more than a meal; it’s an invitation to indulge in a feast for the senses, to delight in entrecôtes that melt in your mouth, and to relish the seared perfection of fire-kissed steaks. Each bite you take is a sensory journey, giving a crunchy yet juicy salute to the broad spectrum of tastes and cherished food rituals found across the spirited expanse of Latin America.
Guiding this voyage is Chef Gerardo Lopez, whose passion for Latin culinary arts has been ignited by his roots in Veracruz, Mexico, and refined through a globetrotting career. Every dish he makes spins a story, meshing visually striking elements with tastes as genuine and vibrant as his own imaginative spark.
With every plate that graces the table, Chef Gerardo promises a dining sojourn that mirrors the deep, resonant soul of Latin culture—a feast that’s both a nod to the past and a toast to the now.
Santana’s menu is like a well-rehearsed salsa routine, filled with straightforward yet striking dishes that narrate the tale of Latin America. The Bao de Langosta hits it out of the park, skillfully marrying succulent lobster with a medley of tastes that truly make your taste buds sing.
The Sandia Ceviche, a refreshing take on traditional dishes, masterfully pairs the sweet explosion of watermelon with a sharp citrus punch.
The Corsero a la Brasas is a celebration of the grill, with lamb that falls off the bone, infused with the smokiness of open-flame cooking. The Quinotto de Mariscos is a seafood lover’s delight, where the Peruvian classic is reinvented with the freshest oceanic bounty.
No culinary journey is complete without a toast, and Santana’s bar crafts cocktails to ignite the spirit of warmth. The Margarita Clasica reinvents the classic cocktail with a perfect balance of zesty citrus and salt, while the Pisco Asiana is a beautifully crafted drink that pairs effortlessly with the tropical Balinese climate.
Try the Picante de la Casa, if you’re in the mood for a bit of excitement—an adventurous, spicy cocktail that’s already become the talk of the town.
