From the architecture to the cuisine, Chora Ubud has captured the true essence of Mediterranean dining...
It’s no secret that Ubud is best known for its abundant nature, rich culture and fiery flavours. It’s a world away from the bright and breezy landscapes of the Mediterranean, with its creamy cuisine and crisp Pinot Grigio’s. But as it turns out, Bali’s lush landscapes go just right with the flavours of the Mediterranean, and at Chora Ubud – the newest restaurant in the neighbourhood – you can get a taste of it all.
Bringing the cuisine, architecture and dining culture of Mykonos to the heart of Bali, Chora Ubud is a holistic interpretation of Mediterranean living, honouring Mother Earth with a menu of natural ingredients, nurturing cuisine and bountiful dishes designed for sharing. After all, Mediterranean culture is all about respecting nature and appreciating life’s simple pleasures, so Chora Ubud has captured exactly that…
You’ll love it because… Chora Ubud dishes up SO much more than ‘just’ incredible Mediterranean cuisine. It’s a space that celebrates nature and culture, all while respecting the Mediterranean archipelago and its Ubud home. Dining here is a wholesome and holistic experience; a warm and welcoming destination that pays homage to Mother Earth and its abundant gifts. We’re talking fresh ingredients, each one delicately prepared to preserve their deliciousness. Think locally caught seafood, carefully plucked herbs and freshly harvested greens, accented by just enough spices to elevate and enhance their natural flavours. The result? A modern yet traditional interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine that you won’t find anywhere else on the island…
You’ll want to try… Chora Ubud’s Mediterranean classics. Begin with the prawn saganaki, where juicy prawns are cooked to perfection in a rich tomato sauce, and topped with sweet bell peppers and creamy feta cheese. Continue with the lobster Thermidor from the grill; a charred, whole lobster paired with rich hollandaise sauce, baby arugula and tangy grain mustard. Then, finish off with the velvety chocolate mousse. We loved the delicate hint of gingery heat, alongside a drizzle of decadent caramel and roasted nuts. And for that Mediterranean summer vibe, pair it all with the Tangerine Aperol Sour, or a bottle of Italian bubbles to share.
Come back for… the warm and welcoming vibes that are quintessentially Mediterranean. Inspired by the region’s laid-back lifestyle, Chora Ubud embodies all that Mediterranean hospitality is about: bringing together friends and family over great food in a cosy yet elegant space. Whether it’s sharing the souvlaki skewers or a creamy moussaka, every feast here is an occasion that’s best enjoyed in great company. And in true European-style, you won’t find any fuss or pretension here – just warm sophistication and a casual-meets-fine dining experience. As they say, life centres around the table in the Mediterranean, and you’ll defintely want to secure your seat at Chora Ubud…
