Two of Bali’s hottest culinary powerhouses are setting the island ablaze this June with a pair of high-voltage, high-flavor events featuring bold barbecue, slick cocktails, and international heavyweights from Bangkok to Tokyo.
If you’re craving a dose of fire, flavor, and finesse, mark your calendar. This June, Yuki and Meimei, two standout names in Bali’s modern dining scene, are teaming up with some of Asia’s top culinary and bar talent to serve up limited-edition events that are anything but ordinary. From flame-grilled feasts to expertly shaken cocktails, these collaborations are a salute to creativity, craftsmanship, and the global energy of the Southeast Asian food and drink scene.
The Thai-Bali BBQ Bash: Smoke, Spice, and Soul
📍 June 5–6, 2025 | Meimei, Canggu
Meimei is bringing the heat—literally—with a fiery two-night collab featuring Charmkrung, Bangkok’s neo-Thai dining darling, led by Chef Jai Aruss Lerlerstkul. Alongside Meimei’s Chef Yudha Permana, this event dives into Southern Thai flavors, flame-cooked with the raw intensity of wood-fire grilling.
Expect bold, surprising small plates from Thailand’s street food soul, reimagined through the smoky lens of Meimei’s signature barbecue. From reinvented Balinese recipes to spice-packed Thai classics, each dish hits hard and fast. Wash it down with a curated list of natural wines and regionally-inspired cocktails designed to cool the burn without killing the buzz.
Bellwood Takeover: Where Tokyo Meets Bali Over Cocktails
📍 June 25, 2025 | Yuki, Canggu
📍 June 27, 2025 | Meimei, Canggu
Tokyo’s Bellwood Bar, ranked #34 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars and #89 globally, is touching down in Bali for two nights of cocktail dominance. This time, they’re flipping the script—after hosting Yuki earlier this year in Tokyo, now award-winning bartender Atsushi Suzuki is taking over the bars at Yuki and Meimei.
At Yuki, June 25 brings an eight-course omakase dinner crafted by Chef Ayaka Terai, with two intimate sittings (6:00 PM and 8:30 PM). Think seasonal Japanese elegance paired with Bellwood’s imaginative cocktail artistry, all served in Yuki’s polished, minimalist-meets-tropical vibe. It’s Tokyo precision with Balinese soul.
