Aptly named Sea.Fire.Salt, Anantara Desaru Coast Resort and Villa’s signature fine dining outlet encapsulates all the best things about beachside dining. Set close to the water’s edge, every dinner starts off auspiciously with fresh breads and a trio of tasty spreads that pay tribute to the restaurant’s name. Get a table next to the show kitchen to watch the seasoned chefs demonstrate their culinary flair. Meats and seafood are grilled to perfection and enhanced when paired with any one of the wines from its extensive list, which deservedly won Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence for two years running. Also on the menu is an exquisite caviar selection, supplied by local brand T’lur. It’s the ideal way to end a day at this beautiful resort with exceptional service that makes diners feel cared for without being smothered.
