One of Bali’s most iconic beach clubs embraces the Christmas spirit of togetherness by inviting everyone to gather around a festive feast.
Whether with friends, loved ones, or your found family, the heart of the holiday season lies in spending moments together and revelling in one another’s presence; what better way to do so than with a delectable spread on the dining table? With The Art of Christmas at KU DE TA, guests can do so in style overlooking one of Bali’s most iconic coastlines.
The programme runs throughout the month of December, starting with A Festive Table, Thoughtfully Composed. This early Christmas set menu, served until the 24th, starts with a Festive Bread Basket featuring some signature focaccia and grissini with sea salt and sesame, served alongside whipped lemon-and-thyme butter for a zingy note. Guests can then choose between a starter of Creamy Tuna Tartare or Marbled Tri-Tip Carpaccio, before indulging in the main course options: the lighter, flaky Seared Salmon Fillet or a hearty and tender Slow-Braised Short Rib that bursts with flavour. For a sweet finale, dig into the White Christmas Alaska, which conceals sticky toffee pudding, caramel sauce, vanilla gelato, and fresh cherry compote under a torched, marshmallow-like meringue.
When Christmas Day comes around, KU DE TA ramps up the jolly, familial atmosphere with a festive lunch designed for multigenerational gatherings. A sophisticated menu of holiday staples tantalise the adult taste buds, while younger diners get their own whimsical fare that features Pizza “Candy” Cane puff pastry, Roast Chicken Croquette, choice of Chicken Kiev or a gourmet Beef Slider, and Santa’s Ice Cream Macaron. After the meal, kids can also participate in arts and crafts, face painting, and meet Santa while Lamented Laughter provide jazzy tunes.
Dinnertime brings its own special touch. Under the grand Christmas tree, families can gather around a multi-course set menu. Highlights include Smoked Salmon Crisp, a Festive Bread Basket of assorted baked goods, Confit Duck Rillette, a woodfired Shiro Kin Full Blood Wagyu MB9+ Rump Fillet, and White Christmas Pavlova with Mini Mince Pies to end the dinner. Live entertainment and traditional Christmas crackers add a touch of playfulness to the evening, creating a meaningful holiday worth remembering.
