Bailliage of Bali event with the theme of “Bali chic”
On Saturday August 24th the Bailliage of Bali held a dinner at Sundara Restaurant, Four Seasons Resort, Jimbaran, Bali. Vice-Chargée de Presse Leonie Heyder wrote that cocktails and canapes were served on the balcony of the private dining room overlooking Jimbaran Bay at sunset where approximately 30 members and guests were entertained by live music from a trio ensemble. This set the scene perfectly for dinner. Bailli of Bali, Cetin Candan, delivered opening remarks and introduced the history of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. Mr Candan then introduced Chef David Gavin and Sommelier Mr Newiani, both of whom presented the dishes and the wines for the evening. Chef David produced an artistic and equally delicious six course dinner along with amuse bouche and homemade chocolate bon bons.

Nicolas Senes summed up the resort’s ethos when he said, “The ultimate goal is to facilitate surprising, memorable and personalised experiences for our guests on a daily basis. If guests reflect upon their stay in Bali as a perfect getaway, then we have all done our jobs.”

With many thanks to the resort’s website and the Four Seasons Press Room for information and photos.
