Tucked away just off the Hove seafront, the Bali Brasserie Restaurant, Bar & Live Music Venue Menu delivers an immersive fusion of authentic Southeast Asian flavours and a vibrant entertainment scene. Located at Kingsway Court, First Ave, Hove, this well-established spot has earned a loyal following for blending Indonesian-Malaysian cuisine with a relaxed, yet upscale, dining experience.
From the moment you open the menu, it’s clear that this isn’t your typical Asian restaurant. Standouts include the richly spiced Rendang Daging, a slow-cooked beef curry that’s aromatic and deeply savoury, and the Nasi Goreng, a classic Indonesian fried rice served with satay skewers and a fried egg-both executed with precision and balance. The Gado-Gado salad offers a fresh, vegetarian-friendly contrast, coated in a rich peanut dressing that strikes the perfect sweet-savoury chord. Portion sizes are generous without being overwhelming, and dishes are attractively plated.
What sets Bali Brasserie apart from similar venues is the dual focus on culinary tradition and live music. The bar area comes alive in the evenings with jazz, blues, and soul performances, creating a warm, communal vibe that enhances the overall dining experience. It’s an ideal venue for those looking to combine dinner with entertainment, especially for groups and celebrations.
Service is attentive and knowledgeable, with staff happy to guide guests through the spicier or lesser-known dishes. Prices are reasonable for the quality offered, especially considering the live music component.
In a city with no shortage of dining options, the Bali Brasserie remains a distinctive choice-one that bridges culture, flavour, and rhythm in a way few others manage. For lovers of Southeast Asian cuisine and live music alike, it’s a destination worth visiting.
