A Nine-Course Omakase Journey at Double Ikat That Reimagines Indonesian Heritage Through Contemporary Craft
Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa invites curious travelers and culinary enthusiasts to experience a new chapter of Uluwatu dining with the launch of Jelajah Rasa, an intimate omakase-inspired chef’s table at Double Ikat. Designed for those seeking distinctive dining in Bali, this immersive experience places Indonesian gastronomy at the center of discovery.
As one of the most compelling Uluwatu restaurants celebrating Indonesian heritage, Double Ikat offers a warm and contemporary setting inspired by traditional craftsmanship and modern design. Within the restaurant, the exclusive Kitchen Studio becomes the stage for Jelajah Rasa. This open, chef-led environment places guests at the heart of the action, where fire, fragrance, and finesse come together in a captivating culinary performance.
Inspired by the philosophy of omakase, where guests entrust the journey entirely to the chef, Jelajah Rasa invites diners to surrender choice and embrace curiosity. Across nine thoughtfully curated courses, Executive Chef Wisnu Adiyatma reinterprets Indonesia’s rich culinary traditions through a refined and contemporary lens. Seasonal produce, premium local ingredients, and modern techniques converge to create a progressive exploration of flavor, positioning this experience as a standout within the evolving landscape of dining in Bali.
True to the Renaissance spirit of discovery, each evening revolves around a mystery hero ingredient personally selected by the chef. The experience begins with a theatrical reveal. A signature Black Box is presented before the first course arrives. Inside, guests encounter key Indonesian ingredients in their purest form, including roots, leaves, spices, and locally sourced elements that anchor the evening’s narrative. As the journey unfolds, these ingredients are transformed across the nine courses, allowing diners to witness their evolution from raw origin to elevated expression.
“Jelajah Rasa is an invitation to rediscover Indonesia from a new perspective,” said Executive Chef Wisnu Adiyatma. “By introducing the ingredients first, we create anticipation and connection. Guests see where the story begins and then experience how technique, creativity, and heritage shape the final expression. It is a celebration of Indonesia’s biodiversity presented in a way that feels intimate and unexpected.”
Complementing the culinary progression is a curated beverage experience designed to enhance each chapter of the journey, adding depth and dimension while honoring Indonesia’s vibrant drink culture.
“Today’s guests are looking for more than just dinner. They are seeking meaningful experiences,” said Satria Gamita, Director of Food and Beverage. “With Jelajah Rasa, we are elevating Uluwatu dining by creating an interactive chef’s table that connects guests to the destination through flavor, storytelling, and craftsmanship. The Kitchen Studio setting allows us to deliver something personal, immersive, and distinctly Renaissance.”
Held daily from 6:30 PM onwards at Double Ikat, Jelajah Rasa is intentionally limited in seating to preserve its intimate atmosphere. Advance reservations are required.
With Jelajah Rasa, Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa continues to redefine dining in Bali, offering bold and destination-inspired culinary experiences that spark curiosity and invite guests to explore Indonesia in unexpected ways.
