Buzo Seminyak hosted an exciting culinary collaboration with the arrival of NOM NOM Kitchen Takeover Volume V. On November 8th, two celebrated chefs, Paul Bentley and Will Meyrick, joined forces to create an extraordinary dining experience in Bali’s vibrant culinary scene. Paul Bentley, who was recently named Chef of the Year 2024 by the West Australia Good Food Guide, was known for offering a fresh take on traditional dishes at his Perth restaurant, Casa. His skill in blending innovation with tradition had earned him a reputation for culinary finesse, presenting fresh interpretations of Italian classics.
Will Meyrick, a true globetrotter, brought a world of experience to the table. Born in Portimão, Portugal, raised in Scotland, and having lived in Italy and Peru before making Bali his home, Meyrick had been shaped by diverse culinary traditions. His time in Italy, in particular, had deeply influenced his understanding of authentic Italian cooking. For this collaboration, Meyrick channeled that Italian connection, offering dishes that highlighted the depth and richness of Italy’s cuisine through his unique lens.
Known for his flair in transforming humble, traditional fare into something extraordinary, Meyrick’s creations offered a refreshing and unique approach to Italy’s beloved flavors. As these two chefs with distinct yet complementary styles came together, this edition of NOM NOM Kitchen Takeover provided a rare opportunity to experience their combined creativity. Guests witnessed Bentley’s modern take on Italian cuisine and Meyrick’s globally-inspired interpretations, with a menu curated to celebrate the gusto of tutti a tavola at its finest, exclusively at Buzo Seminyak
