Santanera Launches Stylish Tapas Bar Terraza

“90 percent of our wines come from Europe, mainly France and Italy,” he explains. “Our rosé range, in particular, is exceptional and carefully selected from the south of France for our guests to enjoy with the backdrop of a beautiful Bali sunset after a long day of traveling. We mainly serve low- to medium-bodied wines—more white wines than red wines—to match the easy, light and refreshing spirit of our bar. However, we also serve heavy-bodied wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir for those who prefer it.”

As for its range of cocktails, a Terraza specialty is casoni, a negroni-based cocktail transformed into a highball. “We model the drink after how it was originally made at Café Casoni in Florence, Italy, but with blood orange juice, lemon juice and a bit of sugar added in. It has the grit that everybody loves about negroni, but guests can enjoy it with longer sips since negroni is a typically short drink.”

Gabriel also remarks that Terraza serves natural wines, which are produced with little to no human intervention, in line with the bar’s penchant for having their products as close to nature as possible as well as its commitment to sustainability.

This ethos also extends to Terraza’s food menu, such as its duck liver parfait served on semolina crackers with hibiscus leaves from organic farms, a textural snack best complemented with a glass of wine. 

“We also serve unusual dishes that people don’t normally find or go for, like our triple-cooked ox tongue, which we serve with a devilled egg emulsion on a thin crepe,” highlights Andres. “There’s also our fermented and wood-fired potato bread served with salmon roe and avruga caviar, which goes well with a nice glass of champagne or rosé.”

Not only showcasing Andres and German’s Colombian heritage, the menu at Terraza also incorporates seasonal produce and other ingredients that are available in Bali, making Terraza the perfect spot to experience a melting pot of tastes and textures over sunny Bali skies with a casual, relaxed ambiance.
