Spectacular location perched above a raging river with cosy woven private dining ‘pods’ for an intimate setting. Food was amazing. Lots of things I’d never heard of or tried before. They managed my shellfish allergy very well and I didn’t feel at all like I was downgraded with the substitutions which can sometimes happen. The service was great, a nice balance between professional knowledge and personal warmth. Highly recommend.

If you’re visiting Bali, this is an absolute must-visit.
I came here last week with my partner. Both of us work in the hospitality industry, and we often indulge in fine dining experiences. I can confidently say this was one of the best we’ve ever had.

Each course felt like a journey through the flavours of Bali—absolutely incredible. Not a single dish disappointed us; every bite was an explosion of flavour. The presentation was impeccable!

All of this was paired with breathtaking views and outstanding service. A special thanks to Chef Depa for answering all of our questions and sharing his deep knowledge with us. And a heartfelt thank you to Kadek for guiding us through this exceptional experience.

On top of everything, my partner proposed to me in this stunning location, and the team went above and beyond to make the evening incredibly romantic. Thank you for giving us a memory that we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

We’ll be back next week to try the new menu—we can’t wait!

Amazing experience. Made my birthday celebrations special. We booked the cocoon at last minute thanks to Nersi! The 10-course meal was outstanding. We went for the local wine and the service was exceptional!
