Hats off to The Ritz-Carlton Ras Al Khaimah in Al Wadi Desert. While the Northern Emirates have not traditionally been on the radar of international chefs, Farmhouse is a farm-to-table menu inspired by forward-thinking Dutch chef Syrco Bakker, who has very much found a home in the desert.

We think this is the best fine dining experience in Ubud. Syrco BASÈ Ubud was opened in early 2024 by a chef who was earlier awarded 2 Michelin stars leading a restaurant in The Netherlands.

Two Michelin-starred Chef Syrco Bakker from Syrco BASÈ Ubud in Bali will be hosting a kitchen takeover at 1880, while Japan's Chef Keiko Kuwakino from Satoyama Jujo will be presenting her artistry at PO in The Warehouse Hotel, showcasing her unique approach to food inspired by Ayurvedic philosophy.

Netherland native Syrco Bakkar has Indonesian grandparents, so when the call came to come to Bali to open a restaurant it felt like a natural step. Syrco Base, the two-Michelin starred chef’s exceptional new modern Indonesian restaurant. Syrco BASÈ Ubud, a contemporary three-building complex with a central kitchen garden, it combines a long dining room and upstairs lounge, a chef’s table venue, walk-in bar (for more casual dining) and a boutique showcasing product lines (steak knives, ceramics et al) made by local artisans. The menu is firmly special occasion stuff with a choice of three seven-course degustation menus themed as ‘plant-based’, ‘heritage’ and ‘pure local’. Whichever one you choose, you’re in for an Indonesian-Balinese treat with a little Netherlands-Michelin star thrown in.
