JACKSON LILY’S – A NEW RESTAURANT BY CHEF DEAN KEDDELL
IT IS A BOLDER AND MUCH CHEEKIER GINGER MOON!
BALI, INDONESIA – Throughout the past two years, Master Chef, Dean Keddell, late of the Ritz Carlton Bali and recently his own, highly acclaimed Ginger Moon Asian Canteen, has been creating a new restaurant, and it is superb! Situated in a prime location, on Seminyak’s main strip, the building was gutted and completely rebuilt to Dean’s exacting standards; creating an ideal environment in which to savour his innovative Asian cuisine.
Dean’s vision has expanded the Ginger Moon concept of excellent Asian home cooking, and carried it in a diverse and thrilling direction, without sacrificing the taste-homage to the ancestors. Jackson Lily’s is a vast space, a cathedral in which to entertain and to be entertained by exciting, novel flavours and compelling artful presentation. The desserts are on the verge of being literally mind-blowing and the small, punchy wine list is complemented by an exciting and novel assortment of tropical cocktails; and the non-alcoholic juices are perfect.
Three decades of kitchen-captivity have created a superb chef who has a natural ability to instil his expertise in others. His staff have all become experts in their own right; service and quality are second to none and the environment and appointments are magnificent.
The ground floor is air-conditioned and features an open kitchen, lavish pastry display, and long, welcoming bar – which combine to give a great first impression. Upstairs is a breezy dining room and a spacious all-weather balcony; perfect for early mornings, sunsets and evenings dining under the stars. The use of exposed steel and reclaimed teak throughout the building complements the warm and comfortable ambiance.
Jackson Lily’s sets a new standard of excellence in Bali; utilising high quality produce, local wherever possible, this is an exciting menu, blending the absolute best of East and West.
Jackson Lily’s is open from 11am - 11pm 6 days a week (closed Tuesdays). Further down the road breakfasts and brunches will follow.

What’s in a Name?
A Word from Chef Dean Keddell:
To my wife Baya and me, this restaurant is the expression of the two aspects of our lives which are most important to us; our love of Jackson and Lily, our children, and our love of great food. I came a little late to fatherhood. Years of working in some of the finest kitchens in S.E. Asia, and my dedication to learning my craft, delayed me starting a family until my early 40s. Jackson Lily’s is a celebration of the amazing places where I’ve lived and worked in Asia and elsewhere, and the many styles of cooking I’ve shared with generous and inspiring people along the way.
It is also a celebration of the people I have been privileged to meet on my culinary journey and the wonderful staff who have enabled me to serve hundreds of thousands of people through my restaurants.
To see our restaurant full of people who appreciate and celebrate the diversity of Bali and all this wonderful island has to offer, gives us an immense feeling of achievement, and we hope that when they’re older,
Jackson and Lily will cherish this as much as we do.

Dean was born in New Zealand and moved to a small country town Australia with his family at the age of 10. At age 16 he started an apprenticeship in the local hotel and after completing his 1st year and with the basic skills to get his foot in the door, it was off to Melbourne.
Since then the urge to discover, explore and create has taken Dean to many interesting places. Travel has also allowed him to cook for many interesting people such as George Bush, U2, Sinéad O'Connor, Nick Cave, The Monogue sisters and Charlize Theron to name but a few.
Dean’s style of cooking is fresh, light & truly inspirational. He strongly believes wherever he is in the world his food should reflect his location. The people around him share the foods they love to eat and help write his menus. Dean’s ultimate aim is to create everlasting memories with one of life's simplest but greatest pleasures – food.
After all, sharing great food with friends, family and loved ones creates wonderful memories to be treasured long after the dishes have beenwashed and the lights have dimmed.
