Private cocoons by the river

Kubu is the riverside restaurant of Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, near Ubud in Bali, where guests dine in private cocoons. The name refers to the bamboo huts in which Ubud farmers store their rice harvest, according to Exquisite Taste.

The resort describes a zero-waste philosophy, with ingredients sourced from within 100 kilometres, and chef Eka turning local produce into dishes that reflect Bali. In November 2024, NOW! Bali reported the ten-course Kubu Experience led by executive sous chef Eka Sunarya, from root to leaf, with a ten-course plant-based alternative; dishes included Tabanan braised beans, Plaga melon with air-dried beef and Bali heritage pig. Dinner is served daily from 5:30pm, and the dress code is smart casual.
