Under the helm of Executive Chef Nic Vanderbeeken, Apéritif offers a distinctive fine dining experience in Ubud, Bali, inspired by the philosophy of Borderless Food. Here, culinary lines blur between cultures, traditions, time, geography, and flavour. Chef Nic’s approach invites a refined and intuitive style of gastronomy where classic European techniques meet the vibrant soul of Indonesia.
The Borderless Food concept defines how Apéritif creates, sources, and tells its culinary stories. Each menu is designed to explore connections between flavours and cultures, from French finesse to Japanese umami and the bold spices of the Indonesian archipelago. Vegetarian and vegan degustation menus are developed with equal creativity, allowing every guest to experience the complete dining journey.
Guided by the rhythm of the Balinese lunar cycle, Apéritif’s menu evolves throughout the year, reflecting nature’s seasons and the continuous discovery of new ingredients. While the structure of the degustation remains elegant and cohesive, each visit offers subtle variations that make the experience feel new yet familiar.
Chef Nic and his team combine global inspiration with deep local knowledge, creating a dining experience that is both timeless and forward looking. Whether it is your first visit or a return, Apéritif invites you to experience the art of food without borders.
Please note all menus are subject to change and special requests must be communicated in advance.
