So what are you waiting for? Check out these extraordinary private fine dining venues that will guarantee you and your loved one wonderful memories of your holiday in Bali.

1. Living on the edge: Tirtha Dining – Pecatu

A private dining table on top of the Uluwatu clifftop will make you feel like the King of the world.

Tirtha Dining specialises in magical romantic dining experiences, and it’s the finishing touches that make this so special.

Imagine dining on a floating platform, with the scent of frangipani from the surrounding gardens and the gentle lull of the waves below.

Isn’t it simply perfect?

You need to tear yourself away from the views for long enough to enjoy your gourmet meal.

Delicious five to seven-course menus give plenty of variety to satisfy every palate.

Away from all modern distractions is the gorgeous and romantic Bale Bengong – a secluded location set within the secluded courtyard of Alila Ubud. This exclusive private dining experience for two is also aptly named ‘Amidst the Forest’.

Just as the name suggests, Bale Bengong is the perfect relaxing open-air cabana complete with a traditional straw hut and soft-colored drapes. This is where you get to enjoy your meal while cozying up to each other with just the company of lush greenery around you.

If that doesn’t spoil you enough, Bale Bengong also comes with a couple-sized daybed with plush cushions. The final touch is a row of lanterns to further mark your love sanctuary for two.

Throughout your meal, you will be served by a personal butler, so you can be assured that you will be well-attended to, yet have the privacy you want at the same time.

You can choose from either a Western or Indonesian menu. The Western options start with pan-seared scallop with a main course of cured duck breast, while the Indonesian cuisine starts with a sweet prawn soup, followed by a winning creation of slow roasted Ayam Betutu.

A rich chocolate mousse cake or a plate of scrumptious banana fritter will be just the right dessert to end this satisfying dinner.

If you would like to have an additional romantic gesture, you can request for their local musicians to serenade you with rindik music too!
