Winner of Exquisite Awards 2024 – Best Mediterranean Restaurant:
RIVERSIDE at Four Seasons Resort Bali At Sayan
Nestled along the serene banks of the Ayung River At Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, Riverside is far more than a restaurant – it’s a culinary journey that transports diners to a time when the Mediterranean was a vibrant crossroads of culture and cuisine. With Balinese Head Chef Suta at the helm, Riverside combines high-end bistronomy with a rustic, natural setting beneath the shade of ancient banyan trees.
The menu is a tribute to the sun-drenched flavours of Italy, Spain, France, Lebanon and Greece, reflecting the warmth and simplicity of Mediterranean dining. Each dish is crafted with a narrative, evoking the history of the region’s maritime trade routes where ingredients and culinary ideas were shared across borders, shaping the rich traditions we savour today.
At the heart of this dining experience is the semi-open kitchen, where the prized Josper charcoal oven works its magic on meats and seafood, grilling them to perfection. The result? Succulent lamb chops paired with delicate cauliflower and zucchini puree, and handmade pasta that dances on the palate – all enjoyed against the backdrop of Bali’s mystical Ayung River.
Riverside’s Mediterranean-inspired al fresco feasts are designed for sharing, enhanced by the finest Balinese ingredients. The beverage selection is just as thoughtfully curated, with a range of wines from iconic Mediterranean vineyards, alongside aromatic cocktails and mocktails. Signature sangrias brimming with botanical flavours invite guests to relax and savor, while Moroccan mint tea and Turkish coffee offer a taste of tradition and a moment of nostalgia.
