Seasalt at Alila Seminyak recently hosted a three-day culinary collaboration with Executive Chef Tyson Gee of Park Hyatt Sydney, presenting a Bali–Sydney dining programme centred on seafood, seasonal produce, and ingredient-led cooking.
Part of the Seasalt & Friends series, the collaboration took place from 10 to 12 April 2026, bringing together two coastal dining perspectives shaped by responsibly sourced seafood, Japanese-influenced techniques, and a zero-waste approach. Chef Tyson Gee introduced a produce-driven style informed by his experience across multiple regions, adding a contemporary layer to Seasalt’s coastal concept.
A Seafood-Led Menu Across Sunset and Dinner
The programme opened with Sunset Hour and Dinner on 10 and 11 April, where curated tastings transitioned into a full dinner menu. Dishes included cured yellowtail with coconut citrus and belimbing, chargrilled calamari with smoked bacon XO, and braised clams with smoked soy and salted plum togarashi—each highlighting a balance between clean seafood flavours and layered seasoning.
Sunday Brunch as the Main Showcase
The collaboration culminated on 12 April with a special edition of Seasalt’s Sunday Coastal Brunch, where Chef Tyson Gee’s dishes were integrated into the restaurant’s format of seafood displays, live stations, and à la carte service. Highlights included crisp tuna tartelette with dashi jelly, blue crab omelette with chilli oil and herbs, and river prawn with chilli jam and sauce américaine. A single origin chocolate s’more added a contrasting sweet element, referencing the chef’s background.
These dishes were served alongside Seasalt’s signatures such as wagyu short rib with Kalimantan black pepper, seafood tempura, and laksa with octopus and vermicelli, resulting in a menu that combined international techniques with locally sourced ingredients.
A Continued Focus on Coastal Dining
According to Dante Rossi, Director of Food & Beverage at Alila Seminyak, the series is designed to highlight connections between chefs and destinations through food. “Seasalt & Friends is about connection between chefs, destinations, and ideas,” he said. “This collaboration with Park Hyatt Sydney reflects a shared vision of coastal dining, where the focus remains on the integrity of ingredients and the unique experience curated for our guests.”
Positioned as part of an ongoing series, the collaboration reinforced Seasalt’s approach to coastal dining, where seafood, seasonality, and sustainability remain central to its culinary direction.
