La Favela is one of the trendy bars and restaurants in Seminyak in 2013-2014. It was opened by the same team behind the very popular La Plancha and the defunct La Barca (closed for administrative reasons).
I believe they owe their success to 3 key factors:
- Great design with an attention paid to every single details. The atmosphere they create is always unique and it is worth having a look even if you are not a party-goer.
- Strategic location in the heart of Seminyak
- A huge network among the expat community that enables them to organize happening parties just by posting a word on facebook.
On the downside, the food in La Favela was a bit disappointing for the four of us who ate. The Chef is Peruvian with most dishes Mediterranean or South American. Maybe it wasn't his day... With so many options in Jalan Oberoi anyway, it is better to go there only for a snack or directly for a drink.
Overall: Located in the heart of Seminyak nightlife area, La Favela is one of the must-try venues if you like laid-back, hipster places. It is quite messy so do not go if you are looking for a stylish night out.
