Where to eat and drink at Kimpton Suntaya Bali Ubud?
Good holidays and good food go hand in hand, and there's plenty to look forward to here. Start your morning with freshly brewed artisan coffee at Samana – an unscripted take on the lobby bar that also shakes up zero-proof cocktails – before heading out to explore or take your time easing into the day with progressive Indonesian flavours at the poolside restaurant Cascara, where breakfast starts at 6.30am. You can also delight in some daytime cocktails and bites at the riverside Pelago Day Club.
Come evening, make a beeline for the hotel's signature Japanese restaurant, led by Michelin-starred chef Imamura who brings a fusion of tradition and innovation. Or treat yourself to Japanese izakaya at Shaku by Imamura, where you can also enjoy a round of drinks and a little socialising at the restaurant's speakeasy bar. Because even on a restorative Bali getaway, there's always room for one more nightcap.
