Late@ Seniman

Seniman is famous for their incredible range of coffee and design experiences. Quietly they have been establishing themselves as a go-to destination for food and their regular breakfast, lunch and afternoon clientele have long been raving about the quality of the food.

Now Seniman is grabbing the ‘restaurant-bull-by-its-horns’ and looking to make an impact in the dynamic Ubud evening restaurant scene. After careful selection and preparation, Late@ Seniman provides a range of ‘brassiere-style’ food with its new evening menu. Nothing too pretentious, but classic items crafted with passion, quality and the Seniman stylistic touch.

Late@ Seniman also cleverly use coffee in a number of their signature desserts, from espresso Crème Brulee to a Mocha-nut waffle. You can even order their humorous and inventive ‘Death by Espresso’ a sure-fire Instagram favourite.

Even the unconventional format of the evening menu is something that has become a much photographed design object. Easy to use and a little bit weird, the menu is a collection of ‘flash- cards’ featuring images and descriptions on colourful backdrops. According to some of the customers it’s “Worth stealing!” (but please don’t take them home..!)

There is an extensive range of premium beers, wine and of course coffee, chocolate and teas. All of this to be enjoyed in Seniman’s famous Coffee Studio with its unique atmosphere and music playlists taking you into the night.

Seniman’s on-going food development programme will continue to rotate new items and introduce seasonal produce over the next few months. This is just the beginning.
