Regular culinary events, although aimed predominently at the local expat community, are special dinners at THE CONRAD and THE BVLGARI resort introducing the products of visiting wine makers and/or guest Chefs and the annual "Wine & Cigar Dinners" at THE RITZ CARLTON priced at 900,000 Rupiah to 2,600,000 Rupiah per person, usually including wines.
The monthly lunch meetings of the "Bali Wine Club" (gentlemen only), the "Bali Champagne Club" (ladies only), the "Chaine des Rotisseurs" Black-Tie Dinners and the spectacular Gala Dinners of the BCP (Bali Culinary Professionals) are for members and their guests only. If you've booked a villa through balidiscovery.org.uk and are seriously interested in good food and wine, please ask your butler to arrange your attendance.
If you wish to arrange a special celebration or just want to enjoy a truly outstanding culinary experience with your family or a group of 8 or more friends, your top choice in Bali would be to book the Private Chef's Table @ MOZAIC in Ubud. Please visit our "Ubud Restaurant Guide".
In all restaurants outside the large hotels you can expect to pay from 20,000 to about 180,000 Rupiah for a main course. A beer adds 8,000 to 40,000 Rupiah to your bill, and if you really want to live it up and order a bottle of imported wine or champagne this will set you back at least another 260,000 Rupiah and more. (WARNING: in some hotel restaurants this extravagance carries a very steep penalty.) Usually 10% service charge is included in your bill. If not, a tip of 5% or a maximum of 10% is appreciated but not necessarily expected. Hotels always add 21% (11% tax & 10% service) to your bill.
