A New Exciting Chapter for The cave by Chef Ryan Clift

The cave by Chef Ryan Clift unveils a new menu that blends bold creativity with refined technique, and welcomes its new Head Chef, Nikhil Sengupta.

Tucked within the heart of a dramatic natural cavern in Bali, The cave by Chef Ryan Clift continues to redefine immersive fine dining with the debut of its highly anticipated new menu, available from 26 May 2025. Renowned for pushing the boundaries of sensory gastronomy, this restaurant offers a refined, creative culinary experience.

The latest evolution of The cave’s multi-sensory journey is a carefully curated collection of standout dishes, each one a testament to exceptional ingredients, cutting-edge technique and thoughtful artistry. At its core lies an array of its best of the best menu from the past two years, reimagined and elevated to offer something utterly unforgettable.

Highlights include the mussel tempura, delicately crisp with hints of parsley and a luxurious marinière velouté, a contemporary interpretation of classic coastal comfort. The foie gras cheesecake is full of surprises, not sweet but savoury, even though it looks just like a sweet dessert. The cheesecake featuring a silken union of foie gras, strawberry, pistachio, yoghurt and a whisper of eight-spice.

Meanwhile, the toothfish à la Viennoise is an elegant dish, accompanied by white bean, fennel purée and a fragrant pastis emulsion. To cleanse the palate, the Olive Oil Sorbet surprises with its crisp infusion of yuzu, thyme and gin, refreshing and utterly unique.

This exciting launch also marks a significant moment in The cave’s journey with the arrival of its new Head Chef, Nikhil Sengupta. Bringing a rich background in modern gastronomy and a passion for blending technique with storytelling, Chef Nikhil introduces a fresh creative lens to the already iconic dining experience beneath the surface.
