Under the helm of Executive Chef Nic Vanderbeeken, Apéritif in Ubud, Bali, offers a distinctive fine dining experience rooted in the idea of Borderless Food. Here, culinary lines blur — between cultures, traditions, time, geography, and flavour. Chef Nic’s approach invites a more open, intuitive kind of gastronomy, where classic technique meets the soul of Indonesia and beyond.
The Borderless Food concept is the heart of Apéritif. It guides not only how the menu is created, but also how ingredients are sourced and stories are told. From French finesse to Japanese umami and the bold spices of the Indonesian archipelago, each dish offers a seamless dialogue between places and ideas — all with a distinct, contemporary voice. Menus are designed to cater to a wide range of preferences without compromise. The vegetarian and vegan degustation menus are thoughtfully developed with the same care and imagination, allowing every guest to experience the full journey.
Chef Nic’s ongoing exploration of global influences, paired with the team’s creativity and deep local knowledge, ensures each visit feels unique. While the structure of the degustation remains refined and cohesive, subtle changes and seasonal elements keep the dining experience evolving. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, the essence remains the same: food without borders, served with intent and elegance.
Please note all menus are subject to change and special requests must be communicated in advance.
