di Mare Restaurant at Karma Kandara

Found within the gorgeous Karma Kandara, di Mare Restaurant is a charming place that offers diners uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean. Located atop the cliffs of Uluwatu, it is one of the most dramatically situated dining venues in Bali.

Under the hands of Executive Chef Joseph Antonishek, a carefully curated selection of dishes that highlight his favourite Indonesian ingredients, infused masterfully into a fine dining experience, are presented to discerning guests. Every dish at di Mare is meticulously made and those who are familiar with local cuisine will notice the influences, including in the desserts.

On the menu, a playful take on classic desserts is available; highlighting the freshest local ingredients, Chef Joseph takes guests on a journey through Indonesia with his sweet creations.

The Tira-Rindu is a local twist on an ever-popular Tira-Miss-U, made using Karangasem distilled Nusantara Kopi Liqueur, chocolate sponge, kecombrang-infused gin mascarpone and Kopi Luwak cocoa nib gel. Another favourite on the menu is Strawberries & Cream, which highlights the freshness of Bedugul strawberries and is paired perfectly with whipped coconut mascarpone, kemangi gelato and kaffir lime meringue. Inspired by the chef’s love of kemangi, or lemon basil, this refreshing dessert is a great choice to finish any meal.

For something out of the ordinary, tempt your taste buds with Choux au Craquelin. Dubbed the next level version of profiteroles, Chef Joseph infuses local flavours with French finesse and marries kecombrang (torch ginger flower), kemangi and purple ubi gelato, pandan caramel and single origin Balinese chocolate sauces in an incredible dish.
