péritif in Ubud, Bali, has unveiled its new menu, titled the Prestige Degustation. As one of the most distinguished fine dining establishments on the Island of the Gods, the restaurant created the menu to further emphasize its reputation as a prestigious culinary destination, highlighting refined dishes based on its utilization of global ingredients.
The Prestige Degustation was crafted by executive chef Nic Vanderbeeken and his team. Available for lunch and dinner, it consists of up to eight courses. Food pundits praised the new menu, calling it inventive and inspiring, using the best of seasonal ingredients.
“The details of the dishes, no matter how simple or complex, all start with the quality of produce. From that comes texture, flavor and a wealth of inspiration for creating something truly unique,” said Vanderbeeken, explaining that the attention to detail was what made each dish stand out on its own.
While the menu draws some inspiration from global ingredients, the menu reflects Indonesia as an archipelago, spotlighting the rich marine life and the abundance of spices native to its islands, which allows for an eclectic pairing of flavor. Vanderbeeken further explained that the menu had allowed him to “create dishes with the highest quality in produce and concept with absolute unbridled enthusiasm”.
One thing is for sure: The menu was not created for a one-night-only special, but is something that will keep guests coming back for more.
Apéritif’s famous Opu fish and Mizayaki wagyu A5 will still be available, but now guests have the option to enjoy them alongside such delectable offerings as oyster mignonette, red snapper, crab “Binte”, foie gras aigredoux, Canadian lobster and Dutch veal. Based on the description given for each dish, the chef clearly pulled some inspiration from the Sulawesi region, namely Gorontalo for the crab and Makassar for the veal.
The restaurant itself is located in Viceroy Bali. The marble, dark wood and bronze elements adorning the restaurant will transport guests back in time to the roaring 1920s. It is often called a living snapshot of the colonial past, with a space showcasing authentic period photographs that depict the Dutch-Indonesian viceroys of Bali and Yogyakarta. Only this time, it’s all about the glitz and glamor of the colonial era.
