Mention seafood in Batam, and the conversation usually turns toward rustic, wooden kelongs over the water. While those classic spots have their charm, SeeSea by Nomad offers a fresh, comfortable alternative right in the city.
Combining familiar, bold local seafood prep with a spacious, beautifully curated coastal setting, it’s designed for diners who want to indulge in quality seafood while watching ferries glide across the horizon.
Sunset Views and Modern Comfort
Elevated Coastal Dining Beyond the Traditional Kelong in Batam
Positioned right along the coastline in Harbour Bay, SeeSea brings a more modern approach to the seafood dining.
Inside, the venue has an ample layout decorated with warm gallery walls, textured arches, and comfortable seating, making it well-suited for family gatherings and larger groups. With outdoor and open-air seating sits directly along the sea wall, offering sweeping ocean vistas. It is ideal for late afternoons and evenings as the sun sets over the water, accompanied by a cool coastal breeze.
SeeSea by Nomad bridges the gap between traditional Batam seafood and modern dining comfort. It preserves the authentic, punchy flavors locals and tourists look for; sweet Jimbaran glazes, tangy mango pairings, and fresh catches, while eliminating the long transit out to remote kelongs.
Whether you're dropping in for a casual sunset drink or bringing the family out for a seafood spread, it’s a refined, highly accessible choice right along the Harbour Bay strip.
Best For: A comfortable dinner, seafood, local meals and family meal.
Despite Being Modern, Classic Local Flavors Stay
Kerang Bulu (Blood Cockles) Bakar Jimbaran (Small Portion): Smoky blood cockles coated in a thick, sweet-savory Jimbaran sauce that carries a subtle chili kick. While a few cockles retain a slightly stronger natural sea aroma and take a bit of effort to scoop from the shell, the richness of the glaze makes it a solid starter.
Kakap Goreng Saus Mangga: Crispy fried snapper served in a generous, shareable portion. The dish is layered with a vibrant, sweet-and-tangy mango sauce that finishes with a noticeable spicy bite. (Note: Watch out for tiny fish bones while dining).
A New Way to Introduce Lobster
Dawet Mutiara: A comforting local dessert presented in a tall glass, layering creamy coconut milk with soft green "cendol" and pink tapioca pearls. It delivers a well-balanced sweetness that acts as a refreshment after a rich seafood meal.
Familiar Flavors in an New Setting
Lobster Sauna w/ Soun: Meaty, naturally sweet lobster served steamed over a bed of glass noodles (soun). The noodles absorb a sweet, peppery, and deeply savory umami flavor profile, though they sit slightly on the richer, oilier side.
