SANDIKALA RESTAURANT
Sandikala means "When the day meets the night" in Bahasa, Balinese language.
It is also the symbolic moment of reunion with family and friends. It is the expected festive and convivial moment, around the sharing of a splendidly universal dinner.
The restaurant is located in a small village in the Hautes-Pyrénées, in Galan in Occitanie.
Village classified as French heritage for its church, its town gate and its Halles. A stroll through the village streets will let you glimpse this rich past.
The Sandikala took place in what was originally an old farm, which became a Master's house at the beginning of the 20th century.
The charming house has been completely renovated, on the entire ground floor, for professional use.
In terms of decoration, the vestiges of the old are combined with modern minimalist decor, as well as unique pieces brought back by the MacLeod family from their time spent in Asia.
Sandikala is therefore a story of family, friendship and culinary creativity. A place that invites you to travel.
