Perched on the edge of Mandapa’s reserve valley, Sawah Terrace overlooks Ubud’s rice terraces, tropical forest, and the Ayung River, offering an all-day dining experience rooted in Bali’s culinary traditions. As Mandapa’s signature restaurant, it embraces a farm-to-table philosophy, showcasing local ingredients through dishes inspired by Indonesian and Balinese cuisine.
The menu reflects the restaurant’s focus on authenticity, drawing from traditional Balinese dining customs while incorporating contemporary culinary techniques. Signature dishes such as Beef Rendang, Sop Buntut, and Bebek Goreng highlight the diversity of Indonesia’s regional flavours, prepared with herbs, spices, edible flowers, and seasonal vegetables harvested from the resort’s organic chef’s garden.
The natural surroundings remain central to the dining experience. Guests dine against a backdrop of cascading rice paddies and the Ayung River, where the setting complements a menu that ranges from Indonesian specialities to international favourites and plant-forward creations, all reflecting the island’s seasonal produce and connection to nature.
As evening approaches, the restaurant also hosts a daily traditional Balinese dance performance, adding a cultural element to the experience. Showcasing Bali’s storytelling traditions through music and dance, the performance accompanies dinner service and offers guests an opportunity to experience another aspect of the island’s living heritage.
Combining locally inspired cuisine, panoramic valley views, and Balinese cultural traditions, Sawah Terrace offers a dining experience that reflects the character and natural beauty of Ubud.
