Standing three stories high amidst the trendy shops and rice fields of Canggu in Bali, Santanera is a distinctive Bali restaurant known for its story of crossed cultures and cuisines; a conversation of Latin American flavours, Mediterranean influences and fine local ingredients. As a refined fine dining experience in Bali, Santanera brings together the best of two worlds: bold and refined, familiar yet surprising.

The restaurant was born from the collaborative efforts of friends with a shared vision, including two skilled Colombian chefs Andres Becerra and German Rincon
