Nui da Mano officially opened its doors on 21 October 2025, bringing a bold new dining concept to Batu Belig Beach. This latest venture from the creative minds behind Mano Beach House celebrates the Polynesian spirit — blending local ingredients, island culture, and soulful design into one immersive beachfront experience.
A Story of Migration and Flavor
Born from the Polynesian idea of migration — where travellers carried flavours, rituals, and traditions across the islands — Nui da Mano reimagines this story through the lens of Balinese ingredients and coastal energy.
Here, Polynesian cuisine isn’t copied; it’s reinterpreted. Each dish pays tribute to the immigrant influences that shaped Polynesia — from Chinese and Indian to Japanese and Filipino cultures — blending their techniques and spices with local produce to create something uniquely “Nui.”
Culinary Highlights
Curated by Executive Chef Manu, the menu celebrates migration and connection through food. Highlights include:
- Breadfruit Dips with XO Sauce, merging French finesse and Chinese umami
- Poisson Cru, a French-inspired favorite with an Indian twist
- Steam-Aged Grouper, where Chinese and Japanese methods meet the ocean
- Fried Pork Knuckle, balancing Chinese crispness, Indian spice, and Hawaiian warmth
Each dish is designed for sharing and storytelling, capturing the Polynesian ritual of communal dining — where every table becomes a celebration of family, friendship, and island life.
The Space: Natural, Sculptural, Soulful
Set against the backdrop of Batu Belig’s shoreline, Nui da Mano is raw yet refined — open-air architecture, natural textures, and a Moai stone centerpiece that anchors the space with quiet presence. From leisurely seaside lunches to sunset cocktails and late-night gatherings, it’s a venue designed to shift and glow with the rhythm of the day.
Nui da Mano also houses an in-house aging collection, where select meat and fish are matured to develop rich, layered flavors — a modern craft rooted in Polynesian respect for patience and process.
“The menu at Nui da Mano is a tribute to the people and flavors that built Polynesian roots,” says Executive Chef Manu. “It’s our way of celebrating migration — combining techniques, spices, and stories from many cultures, told through our own ingredients here in Bali.”
A Living Ritual
To keep the spirit of discovery alive, Nui da Mano will introduce a monthly ritual — a rotating dining experience inspired by stories, ingredients, and traditions from across the Polynesian islands.
With its blend of cultural storytelling, culinary innovation, and beachfront ease, Nui da Mano is set to become one of Bali’s most exciting new destinations — a place where the island’s rhythm meets the heart of the Pacific.
