The Cave: A Unique Underground Dining Experience in Bali
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind underground dining experience in Bali, The Cave by Chef Ryan Clift is an absolute must-visit. Located within The Edge Bali, this exclusive 22-seat subterranean restaurant offers an unforgettable 7 or 10-course dining experience inside a stunning natural cave. With mesmerizing light shows, seasonal menus, and a chance to explore the cave itself, this is truly a dining adventure like no other.
Location: A Hidden Gem at The Edge Bali
The Cave is located within The Edge Bali, a luxury resort perched on the breathtaking cliffs of Uluwatu. The restaurant itself is inside a natural cave, which was discovered in 2013 during villa construction. Instead of building over it, they chose to preserve and transform it into an exclusive dining space, showcasing the cave’s stunning stalactites and crescent walls.
You even have the opportunity to explore a small section of the cave, equipped with a helmet and light provided by the restaurant. This adds an element of adventure before indulging in the gourmet meal.
The Food
I had the Seven-Course Experience priced at IDR 1,400,000 ($138 AUD) per person. Each dish was expertly crafted, delivering bold flavours and stunning presentation. The menu changes seasonally, ensuring that every visit brings a new culinary journey.
One of the most unique aspects of the experience was the six interludes between courses. Light shows were projected onto the cave’s natural walls, creating a relaxing and immersive atmosphere between each dish. This added a magical touch that made the evening feel even more special.
For those looking to enhance their meal, The Cave has the option to add wine and cocktail pairings, curated to complement the flavours of the dishes.
Price: Worth it?
Dining at The Cave is undoubtedly a luxury experience, with the seven-course menu priced at IDR 1,400,000 ($138 AUD) per person. The restaurant also offers a ten-course option for those wanting an extended culinary experience.
I thought the whole experience was absolutely worth it! After all, when will you ever get the chance to dine in a cave again
