From Nusa Dua to Ubud, Nusa By/Suka is bringing its wood-fired flavours and rustic Mediterranean recipes to the heart of Bali...
It’s no secret that Ubud is home to some of Bali’s very best restaurants, cafes and cocktail bars – this jungly neighbourhood has long earned itself a stellar epicurean reputation. With the bar raised so high, it’s no easy feat to make your mark in this wining and dining utopia. But Nusa By/Suka has recently swung open the doors to its refined Mediterranean restaurant and bar, and it’s already fitting right in to Ubud’s exceptional food scene…
Backed by a team of culinary veterans, this new Ubud restaurant is the second Bali address for Nusa By/Suka, originating from the coastal neighbourhood of Nusa Dua. Using primitive cooking techniques (think wood-firing and char-grilling) and local, sustainably sourced ingredients, Nusa By/Suka is best known for its bold flavours, elegant interiors and the art of fusing the rustic charm of Mediterranean cuisine with the elegance of refined dining…
You’ll love it because… Nusa By/Suka has captured the charm and comfort of rustic Mediterranean cuisine, whilst also creating an elegant and refined contemporary dining experience. Chef Robby Tan and Chef Deny Krisna take you across the delicious landscapes of The Med’s western coastlines to recreate the true essence of Mediterranean dining. Bold and full of flavour, each dish is meticulously-crafted using fiery primitive cooking techniques, showcasing the highest quality locally-sourced ingredients, alongside classic Mediterranean herbs and spices. Swap and share small and large plates wood-fired to perfection, from succulent meats and seafood, to homemade pastas and artisanal pizzas. And to top it all off, the signature cocktails follow the menu’s lead, mixing European flavours with Balinese spirits.
You’ll want to try the… wood-fired signatures. Try the MB5+ Black Angus Picanha with chimichurri and smoked paprika butter, or the twice-cooked lamb shank that melts off the bone, served with rich Persian lamb jus, mixed herbs and sprinkles of pomegranate seeds. Make it a surf and turf dinner by also ordering up the pan-seared salmon with a lemon-herb sauce, or stick to the veggie-friendly wood-roasted pumpkin and quinoa salad. Treat yourself to a sweet dessert (hellooo pour-over tiramisu!), and finish off with the barrel-aged Negroni for the perfect nightcap.
Come back for… the Mediterranean vibes and cosy yet sophisticated atmosphere. Prop up by the stunningly sleek cocktail bar for a pre-dinner tipple, before making your way outside to dine on the terrace, or inside where moody, romantic vibes await. Swap and share an artisanal pizza with your besties (with a jug of sangria, made using rosé and elderflower!), or bring a hot date and tuck into the house-made pastas and fine wines. And if you still can’t get enough of Nusa By/Suka’s Mediterranean flavours in Ubud? Head south to Nusa By/Suka in Nusa Dua…
