KUBU

The Balinese life and tradition have inspired Mandapa in designing its signature bamboo restaurant. A tropical breeze and the soothing sound of water set the mood at Kubu which offers an intimate space with 9 private cocoons overlooking the Ayung river for you to enjoy fine Mediterranean-European cuisine with the option of à la carte or degustation menus. An extensive list of European wines is also available.

We gladly accept reservations for dining at Kubu via email or through our reservations line. For more intimate occasions, explore our private dining experiences.

Seating: 52, including 9 private cocoons.

Dress code: please be presentably dressed at all times. Our dress code is smart casual; singlets and flip flops are not permitted in Kubu.

Born in East Java, Indonesia, Chef Bayu dreamed to be a chef since he was young. His career began in 2003 at the pastry & bakery section of Kudeta Bali, and was quickly promoted as Commis Chef due to his great performance, but most importantly his sincere love and passion for culinary arts.

In 2006, Bayu moved to Bulgari Resort Bali as Demi Chef de Cuisine at Sangkar Restaurant (all-day dining restaurant). His admiration for fine dining had moved him to the resort’s multi-award-winning Italian Restaurant “Il Ristorante” until he reached the position of Junior Sous Chef. After 6 years with the Bulgari, Bayu moved to The Mulia Resort, Bali as Senior Sous Chef before his assignment as Chef de Cuisine for Kubu Restaurant at Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. In September 2017, he was then promoted to an Executive Sous Chef. After 4 years as Executive Sous Chef, he was promoted to be Executive Chef where he is today.

With over 14 years of experience in the culinary industry within 5-star establishments, Bayu has received multiple awards such as the Blackbox Indonesian Final 2008 and 2013 to name a few. He also represented Indonesia in the prestigious Bocuse d'Or Asia-Pacific 2018 in Guangzhou, China.
