Restaurants

  • Calico Myoko
    Known for its motto "Good times. All the time", Calico has expanded from the sun-soaked beaches of Bali to the snowy peaks of Japan. Open from 7am till late, Calico is more than a restaurant; it's a lifestyle hub for friends, family, and your favourite canine (puppy-chinos made to order). The industrial aesthetic with concrete floors, black steel beams, high ceilings, communal tables, warm lighting and an abundance of green Monstera plants add a Balinese touch to the new mountain settings. Guests can kick start their day with freshly brewed coffee and invigorating Smoothie Bowls like Acai or Peanut Butter & Choc. The breakfast selection features classics like Breakfast Burrito with smashed hash browns, bacon, chorizo, jalapeños, cheese and scrambled eggs, or Smashed Avo on sourdough. For Lunch and Dinner, tuck into a fresh Caesar Salad, Chicken Schnitzel, or Fish Finger Sandwich with slaw and house tartare. The burger game is strong with Smashed Patty, Southern Fried Chicken, and Buffalo Blue Cheese with crispy chicken thigh and buffalo sauce, while sides do not disappoint with Maple Chipotle Wings, Corn Ribs and Fries on offer. Hakuba Beer and signature cocktails will satisfy the apres-ski crowd, such as, Calico Crush blending Aperol, spiced rum, orange, mint, and soda; Tommy’s Mezcal Margarita, and Basil Smash with gin, basil and lemon.
