BRUNCH AT COCOON BEACH CLUB ABOVE AND BEYOND OUR FAVOURITE SUNDAY TRADITION
Brunch is the new darling of Bali’s glamorous culinary scene, so why not celebrate this iconic tradition every day of the week? At Cocoon Beach Club, situated along Bali’s legendary Pantai Jalan Double-Six, sumptuous brunch offerings are served daily on an al fresco patio with generous umbrellas available to shade you from the tropical sun. A warm sea breeze works like magic to caress mind, body and soul. Graceful vines from Cocoon’s second-storey cascade gently above you and blooming frangipani trees strung with paper lanterns complete the laid-back atmosphere. An eclectic mix of laid-back surfer types, intimate family gatherings and groups of friends enjoying a bit of indulgent merriment add to the festive setting.
For a twist on your classic favourite, no brunch at Cocoon is complete without Executive Chef Nick Philip’s Eggs Benedict. Served on an artisan-crafted white and steel grey platter, twin toasted English muffins are topped with a layer of sautéed spinach, succulent slices of house smoked salmon, perfectly round poached eggs and a richly nuanced hollandaise sauce that is flavoured with the culinary team’s secret touch; a vinegar, tarragon and shallot reduction. Half of a Roma tomato, grilled to perfection, serves as a healthy and flavourful side.
For a brunch dish that is a little more avant-garde, we recommend the Potato Rosti Stack, an artfully conceptualised presentation that not only looks beautiful, but also equally fulfils a hearty appetite. Chef Nick places a dense potato cake as the foundation, crisp on the outside and moist on the inside, lightly enhanced with fresh herbs. A generous topping of grilled zucchini, eggplant, and red pepper are topped with an exquisitely prepared poached egg and a handful of lightly dressed arugula, creating a healthy twist on a wonderfully decadent concoction.
If you’re in the mood to spice things up a bit, choose a shaded gazebo or daybed on Cocoon’s legendary poolside deck. A famous international destination for many of Bali’s hottest late night parties and DJ events, it is also an unmatched lunch date setting. Make sure to pack your favourite bathers as Cocoon’s organically shaped swimming pool will surely beckon for a refreshing dip. Put on your sunglasses, order a chilled glass of Margaret River sauvignon blanc, and relax in style as the culinary team prepares a decadent poolside feast.
