Topeng

Luscious garden-to-table dining, Topeng incorporates the natural philosophy of its healing spas into its dining concept.

Located at the beautiful spa Taksu in central Ubud, Topeng manages to transport guests away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud to this tranquil oasis. Whether dining outside in nature or inside within a cool air-conditioned restaurant, the wicker furniture encourages ultimate relaxation, and structured pathways wind in and out of the leafy, tropical surroundings.

Can you think of a better escape pod? We thought not. This is a very well travelled menu with worldly favourites and a strong emphasis on your dietary choice of Keto, Raw, Vegetarian, or Vegan. It's hard not to choose all the starters, but the standouts are the pan-seared scallops with cauliflower puree and raw beetroot ravioli with cashew cream cheese.

As for mains, the world is at your perfectly manicured fingertips, with sous vide duck breast, ethereal living lasagne, and cauliflower rice paella all standing in close succession. Don't forget the sharing boards, artisanal pizzas, and epic plays on sushi. Pair with a list of sensational choices of wines and craft beers to soothe away any imbalances. And, considering Taksu's your-body-is-a-temple approach, it may feel fitting to enjoy a detox juice or homemade soda alongside too.

At Topeng, you will always leave with a feeling of new-found rejuvenation.
