Started in 2010 under another brand license, Chef Bruno Fortin, his wife Eva Claudio and his twins gained their independence in 2015 and rebranded as Hog Wild in Bali. The French chef who brought his culinary expertise to Bali combined forces with his wife who was responsible for the concept and atmosphere of the restaurant and created a fun, quirky dining establishment with great food in Bali. A year after that, they revamped their branding to Hog Wild with Chef Bruno (HWCB) and introduced their Brutal Martinis that are usually served with the hilarious “shake, shake, shake” dance rituals.

Hog Wild with Chef Bruno is one of the restaurants in Bali that is well-known for its delicious porks ribs. So of course when I went there, that’s exactly what I ordered. The meat was tender and juicy and the original sweet & tangy sauce covering the meat was delicious and super flavorful. I opted for hand cut fries and sweet potato fries for the sides and they were good too.

The laid-back restaurant has ample seatings with family style tables set up but I would recommend to call in and make a reservation in advance if you're coming with a big group.
