The cave by Chef Ryan Clift requires little introduction. Since its opening, it has generated significant buzz and received rave reviews. Perched within the rugged cliffs of Uluwatu and situated in the luxurious surroundings of The edge, this culinary gem is the island’s first subterranean dining destination, offering guests an unparalleled journey into a world of exquisite flavours and ambience.
Discovered in 2013 during the construction of a new villa, the restaurant is set within a stunning natural wonder believed to be around 25,000 years old. The cave has been carefully renovated to preserve its beauty, creating a unique dining experience among majestic stalactites and crescent-shaped walls that showcase this natural marvel.
With only 22 seats, The cave provides an intimate dining experience with both a seven-course and 10-course set menu, crafted under the direction of Chef Ryan Clift. An innovator in the gastronomy world, Chef Clift, who hails from England, has over three decades of experience.
The kitchen is led by Head Chef Tay Chan Yong, Chef Clift’s trusted protégé from Singapore. The menu is a symphony of tastes and textures, meticulously created using the finest, freshest ingredients. It seamlessly blends local produce with international influences and avant-garde techniques, resulting in a truly extraordinary culinary experience.
What sets The cave apart is not only its exceptional cuisine but also the interactive atmosphere. Each course is complemented by an immersive three-dimensional projector show cast upon the textured cave walls, adding a captivating visual element to this unforgettable dining journey.
