Nourish

At Bambu Indah, we’ve made the distance between garden and plate as short as possible — sometimes just a few feet!

Instead of typical landscaping, we let the land produce food as it has done for centuries. We’ve planted the entire property with arugula, lettuce, dandelion, bitter gourd, okra, herbs, and more — plus traditional rice paddies. All of it is homegrown and biodynamic: Marigolds ward off pests, and nature (namely, the ducks and our own two cows, Bambu and Indah) does the fertilizing. We hatch our own eggs and are beginning to grow our own mushrooms. Our trees produce coconuts, mangoes, and other tropical fruits.

We emphasize anti-inflammatory and adaptogenic ingredients in our dishes, which benefit our immune systems and overall health. We avoid ultra-processed ingredients, using virgin coconut oil and olive oil in place of industrial cooking oils, and introducing healthier, natural sweeteners like allulose. Our cooks prepare much of the food over traditional Balinese wood-fired stoves.

The resulting dishes — and drinks — are delicious. But knowing they’re truly healthful is the real gift.

Tembaga

Marrying the Balinese tradition of communal dining with Bambu Indah’s core values of regenerative cuisine, Tembaga is the world’s first place to eat that puts longevity above all else, with its focus on anti-inflammatory ingredients.

In our open-air, bamboo-framed dining room — centered around a long communal table made from 70,000 upcycled chopsticks — you’ll sample delicious Indonesian and international dishes prepared over a live-fire grill: Rendang beef and mushroom curry cooked in a bamboo tube and grilled rice wrapped in banana leaves. An unconventional nasi goreng (Indonesian fried rice) starring cauliflower and mushrooms. Cocktails and mocktails made with fermented ingredients, rich in probiotics.

We’re committed to sugar transparency and offer a range of alternative sweeteners, so you can have your margarita with sugar, allulose, or our own Rosella honey, and for dessert, enjoy a slice of goat cheese cake, created with fresh goat milk from our two does across the river.

The mushrooms, vegetables, vinegars and other fermented ingredients — plus thoughtfully chosen proteins — on our menu are all designed to boost the immune system, combat inflammation, and add years to our lives. What could be more delicious?

Riverside Warung

Overlooking the spectacular Ayung River and our natural, spring-fed pools, the Riverside Warung serves innovative dishes with their roots in Indonesian cuisine.

We prepare carefully and locally sourced ingredients, mostly in a traditional Balinese-style open-air kitchen: Wholesome breakfasts — including in your room rate! — of tropical fruits and fresh organic duck eggs. Grilled fish, locally sourced meats, and flavorful curries, accompanied by our fiery house sambals. Incredible plant-based dishes like savory mushroom skewers and jackfruit rendang.

Don’t miss our Babi Guling feast, starring Bali’s celebrated roasted suckling pig and a kaleidoscope of side dishes. Enjoy it all in our open-air dining room with its eye-catching roof of overlapping bamboo arches and hammered copper shingles. Or find a spot at the communal table by the river lit with oil lamps… or a bamboo pod suspended over the water… or one of our many poolside bales

Elevator Sunset Bar

Our ridge-top cocktail haven, the Elevator Sunset Bar at Bambu Indah creates an eco-friendly perch for sipping a drink while the sun paints the sky in hues of orange and pink.

Overlooking the Bongkasa rice paddies — with volcanic peaks in the distance — the bar is a showcase of bamboo, stone, and ironwood craftsmanship. It also houses the only bamboo elevator of its kind in the world, descending through a 20-meter mud shaft to the riverside below. Our curated menu offers handcrafted cocktails that blend local flavors with home-infused spirits, as well as classic drinks with a local twist and unique concoctions inspired by Bali's natural bounty.

Graze on mushroom satays and other snacks as the natural oil lamps are lit and the setting sun spreads its magic across the evening sky.

Experiences

A candlelit feast in a bamboo bale set by a spring-fed pool and adorned with fresh flowers. A group lunch under the banyan tree. Breakfast for two in a cushion-lined pod suspended above the Ayung River.

If you can imagine a place at Bambu Indah where you can enjoy a special meal, we can probably arrange it. And if you can’t imagine it, we’re happy to imagine it for you!

You’ll enjoy home-style Indonesian cuisine — made with the freshest local ingredients, most of them harvested directly from our on-site gardens — surrounded by fresh flowers and illuminated by candles and Balinese fire lanterns.

All meals include four courses (soup, salad, main course, and homemade dessert) and two glasses of wine, juice, or cocktail per person or a bottle of house wine per couple. Customized breakfast and lunch options are available as well. We are also happy to accommodate special requests, such as a bottle of imported wine or Champagne, bouquets of tropical flowers, festive cakes, and more.
