After Locavore<\/a> and the next night of stuffing our faces with Bali Food Safari (another post I need to get around to, a recommended experience BTW), we opted to go for lunch (a birthday treat for Hubs) at Blanco par Mandif<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0As crowded as Locavore was, Blanco was empty… We literally had a private meal. \u00a0I kept waiting for others to join us, but we seriously had a team of 12 working on our lunch — talk about an amazing experience. \u00a0Of course, for any diner, this would almost always be the case. \u00a0With only 12 seats (the location is currently undergoing renovations), this is the perfect spot for a leisurely lunch or an intimate dinner. \u00a0While the relatively small (read: sort of cramped) space might be a touch close for some, I liked not only being close to the kitchen, but also the high chairs, complete with a comfortable place to rest your feet. \u00a0This may sound like a ridiculous feature, but it was a detail I’ve never witnessed while dining out.<\/p>\n

Although it turned out we also had reservations for Mozaic (sorry, team!), due to my idiosyncrasies (read: a\u00a0desperate need to get to the airport early), we decided to go for long lunch, rather than dinner before rushing to the airport.<\/p>\n

While diners can max out at 13 courses (for the dinner seating) we decided that seven courses were more than enough (as we were still full from the gargantuan Bali Food Safari feast the night before). \u00a0As with Locavore, the first plates provided a number of delicious nibbles, expertly presented, before moving onto a series of main dishes. \u00a0Unlike the debacle of the drinks at Asia’s #49, Blanco handles things differently — offering a much nicer mix of bespoke cocktails (literally, created on the spot in front of us) and selections of wine. \u00a0As the pairing costs nearly as much as the food, I consider it an essential component of the meal, and was glad we received properly sized drinks (and pours) at Blanco.<\/p>\n

The standout dish for both of us was the octopus<\/em>, which was, hands down, the best-prepared cephalopod I’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying. \u00a0It was so tender and smoky; the plate is a must if visiting.<\/p>\n

Whether or not the restaurant was busier than Locavore, I don’t think would matter. There were a number of comparisons where Blanco stood out in front of the other venue:<\/p>\n

\n
More variety in beverages and more generous portions. Yes, I’m drilling down on this. Yes, I think it matters.<\/li>\n
A better balance in the kitchen. \u00a0This is one of those things that might only matter to me, however, I like\u00a0to see a\u00a0representation of both genders in a kitchen. \u00a0Blanco definitely achieved this.<\/li>\n
A more personable approach. \u00a0While Locavore was not an entirely formulaic evening, perhaps as a result of being the only diners, we were able to interact quite a bit more with both the service staff and chefs of Blanco. \u00a0There was a presentation from the chef, and the perfect level of letting us chat, but also being available for any questions. \u00a0At Locavore, I felt as if we were attending a play, and the lines were simply being read.<\/li>\n
Less focus on broth\/consomme. \u00a0While both kitchens included this technique, Blanco did not rely on it for a majority of the dishes.<\/li>\n
For a personal touch, the staff at Blanco printed a menu of our meal (with our names, the date, and our specific choices), then they all signed it, wishing Hubs a happy birthday. \u00a0If this was not enough, they also made an additional dessert in honor of his birthday (which I didn’t request — it was just something they did).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
And, of course, at this point, I think I’m splitting hairs. \u00a0Both restaurants offer a wonderful, memorable meal, however, if you only have one night, or the money for one fine dining experience, I urge you to choose BLANCO par Mandif.<\/p>\n

The cost of the meal was a reasonable USD$284 — which, like Locavore, seems like an absolute bargain. \u00a0While there are still a few more meals yet to be had this year, thus far, our lunch at Blanco seems to be my current meal to beat for 2016.<\/p>\n
