Pure BASÈ: A New Chapter in Conscious Fine Dining at Syrco BASÈ Ubud
In the heart of Ubud, surrounded by Bali’s serene landscapes, Syrco BASÈ continues to redefine fine dining in Bali through sustainability, creativity, and community. The restaurant has recently introduced Pure BASÈ, a five-course menu inspired by Chef Syrco Bakker’s latest global recognition, the Two Knives (World-Class) distinction at The Best Chef Awards 2025 in Milan.
Founded by the two Michelin-starred Chef Syrco Bakker, Syrco BASÈ embodies a deep respect for traceability, nature, and transparency. Each dish reflects the team’s dedication to showcasing the best of Indonesia’s land and artisans, combining refined European technique with heartfelt local traditions.
The restaurant’s culinary philosophy revolves around its guiding principles, Traceability, Nature, Transparency, ensuring that every ingredient is ethically sourced and fully traceable. Collaborations with local farmers, fishers, and artisans form the backbone of Syrco BASÈ’s menu, transforming authentic Balinese produce into innovative expressions of global gastronomy.
At the core of this philosophy is Syrco BASÈ’s farm-to-table approach. Ingredients are grown directly in its regenerative garden, where herbs, flowers, and edible plants thrive under mindful care. The connection between kitchen and nature is tangible, guests can see, touch, and taste the origins of their meal.
The Dining Experience
Guests can choose between two distinctive journeys: the BASÈ Journey, an 8-course tasting menu that reflects the rhythm of Bali’s seasons and the intimate KU culinary atelier, a 12-seat chef’s counter that offers a direct encounter with Chef Syrco and his team. Dishes such as Bebek Betutu, Nasi Ulam, and Sambal Dabu-Dabu reinterpret Indonesia’s culinary heritage through modern precision, while creations like Sepia with black garlic and lemon kosho or Hamachi with watermelon and coconut express a seamless dialogue between East and West.
Every visit begins with a walk through the garden and the Aging Room, where guests learn about local producers and the stories behind each ingredient, a tangible reflection of Syrco BASÈ’s transparency and community focus.
Ambience & Design
The restaurant’s design blends contemporary elegance with Balinese craftsmanship, inviting a sense of calm and reflection. Whether dining in the open kitchen space or relaxing at the bar with a botanical cocktail made from homegrown ingredients, guests experience a journey that extends beyond the plate.
A Global Milestone
Chef Syrco Bakker’s Two Knives (World-Class) award recognizes his influence and innovation in global gastronomy. Before establishing Syrco BASÈ, Chef Syrco earned two Michelin stars at Pure C in the Netherlands.
