The Raffles name has defined luxury hospitality since Raffles Singapore opened its doors in 1887, notably famous for the Singapore Sling cocktail. Today, that legacy continues at Raffles Bali, where private villas are tucked away surrounded by nature, and panoramic views of Jimbaran Bay.
If you are looking for a truly memorable culinary experience during your stay don’t miss booking dinner at Rumari Counter inside the resort.
An intimate chef’s table with seating for just ten guests, and no set menu as it changes each night. Soft, ambient lighting and an open concept create a hands on approach that feels inviting, and personalized. From the moment the first dish is placed on the counter, it is clear this is more than dinner—it’s an invitation into the creative soul of this unique dining experience.
At the centre of it all is Chef Gaetan Biesuz, whose nightly menu evolves with the seasons, sourcing the freshest ingredients available. Around eighty percent of the ingredients are found throughout Indonesia, celebrating the country’s remarkable biodiversity.
Raffles Bali even cultivates its own garden on the property which guests can tour, where fragrant herbs, edible flowers and native botanicals are harvested to enhance the menu’s flavor profile. Combined with sustainably sourced seafood, regional spices, and tropical fruits these ingredients create dishes that are unmistakable, reflecting Chef Gaetan’s approach to cuisine.
With only ten seats surrounding the counter, guests enjoy a front-row view of the kitchen. Chef Gaetan and his team prepare, plate and present each dish with attention to every detail. The evening unfolds naturally, with conversation flowing as easily as the many courses themselves.
From savory to sweet the dishes are expressions of creativity. Vibrant colours, and delicate textures are transformed into edible works of art that honour Indonesia’s diverse culinary heritage.
Rumari Counter offers an intimate connection between guest, chef and place, where the evolving menu tells a new story. A dining experience that lingers on your palette long after the final plate has been taken away. Staying at Raffles resort, and dining at Rumari captures not only the essence of Bali, but the spirit of the island itself. —Tiffany Thornton
