Chez Gado Gado Seminyak
It is bold, it is classic, and it is playful: The Casual Fine-Dining & Functions Venue, Chez Gado Gado, has a far-reaching name. Over thirty years, the restaurant has earned a permanent ranking in what is often only 15 minutes of culinary fame. What began as one of a few nightclubs dotting Bali’s beaches has bloomed, coming into adulthood – without ever outgrowing its own lighthearted name.The venue stands humbly to the side, tail-end of Camplung Tanduk Street, in the hub of Seminyak. Look for the golden seahorse emblem on a building with the appearance of a strong and quiet secret. Chez Gado Gado boasts ease of access, being right on Seminyak Beach, and sufficient parking space.
