Twilight Sky Restaurant & Bar

Located at The SIS Kata, Twilight Sky Restaurant & Bar is a chic dining venue that offers outstanding views across Kata Beach from its al fresco terrace. A great spot to catch the sunset, the restaurant and bar has a laidback vibe, friendly service team and a wonderful menu of delectable choices. If you are looking for a place for a romantic date night or to gather with friends, Twilight Sky Restaurant & Bar ticks all of the boxes in the Kata neighbourhood.

The Twilight Sky Restaurant & Bar has a new chef who was eager to give his recommendations. Based on those, we ordered the Peking Duck Salad, Tuna Tartare, Cajun Salmon Fillet and the 250 gram Grilled Australian Beef Striploin Steak. As we waited for our meal, we admired our surroundings and took plenty of photographs of the sun setting over Kata Beach.

When the meal arrived, it was impossible to miss how beautifully each of the dishes was plated. I’m a huge fan of culinary creativity, and an even bigger fan of an aesthetic plate, so props to the chef and his team for thinking outside of the box.

Served on a plush pink Himalayan salt block, the Tuna Tartare tossed with capers, onions and pickled cucumbers was out of this world. Scooped up with crispy rounds of bread, the flavours of the Tuna Tartare were both citrusy and creamy while the dish was melt-in-your-mouth fresh. I highly recommend trying this when you dine at Twilight Sky.

The Cajun Salmon Fillet was perfectly seasoned and served on a bed of guacamole and tomato salsa. The salmon was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, while the guacamole and tomato salsa really gave it an extra flavour burst. The salmon isn’t spicy, but the taste was extremely fresh and light.

Colourful and full of flavour, the Peking Duck Salad is made from tender slices of roasted duck tossed with cucumber, red chili and a sesame oil dressing. This salad is truly exceptional, featuring simple ingredients that, when mixed, produce elevated flavours.

We ordered the 250 gram Grilled Australian Striploin Steak grilled medium. It was served with grilled root vegetables, French fries and three sauces – red wine sauce, Dijon mustard and pepper sauce. The steak is grain-fed for 150 days; it was extremely moist and tender. The portion is big enough for two and, as a side note, the red wine sauce truly added a subtle hint of flavour.

All in all, our meal was one of the best hotel-based restaurant and bar meals I’ve had in quite some time. The food was fantastic, and you cannot fault Twilight Sky’s location. The interiors of the restaurant are vibrant and classy while the al fresco terrace is the perfect spot to look across Kata Beach and admire the sunset.
