Degan Septoadji Suprijadi

Cafe, Restaurant

Chef Degan’s passion and skill in food have brought him places, but his biggest concern lies in the culinary scene of his own hometown, Bali. Firmly believing that Indonesia’s cuisine deserves to be a big thing, with valuable spices and sophisticated traditional recipes, the judge for MasterChef Indonesia opened his own restaurant, Café Degan, in Kuta, Bali, which serves Indonesian and Thai cuisine.

Maxie Millian

Located in the beaming neighborhood of Seminyak, Teatro Gastroteque offers something that makes it stand out among the others: French dishes with an Asian twist. And the man behind that innovation, Maxie Millian, didn’t only stop there. He took the brand to another level of sophistication by only using the best local ingredients, ensuring an authentic relish for every bite. He is internationally awarded for that feat and other creations. The food’s presentation makes Teatro deserving of its name, which means “theater,” as the daring and fresh presentation is an art in itself.

Teatro Gastroteque, Jalan Kayu Aya Blok C No.1-2, Seminyak, Bali, Indonesia, +0851 0170 0078

Janet de Neefe

Restaurant

Janet is the owner and chef of Casa Luna and Indus Restaurants in Ubud. The neutralized Balinese married the island’s culture when she tied the knot with a Balinese man and extended her love for cooking to Balinese traditional recipes. Combining her passion for cooking and writing, she has written best-seller cooking books and initiated the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival, one of the island’s most important international events. Other than cooking and managing her restaurants, Janet also offers cooking classes for anyone interested in Balinese traditional dishes.

Address and Phone Number:

Sayuri Tanaka

Sayuri Tanaka believes that food is not just a treat for the belly, but will impact you psychologically and spiritually as well as physically. That view inspires her to create one of Ubud’s best raw food restaurants, The Seeds of Life. The Japanese chef first encountered the fascinating concept of raw food in India, where she learned that eating is a deep act of giving and receiving; she then manifested the philosophy and her own creativity on her raw, eco-friendly menu.
