We discovered Padi restaurant through TripAdvisor and after reading 70 reviews, all of them 5 stars, we obviously had to try this restaurant. We are serious food lovers and traveled the world extensively. Honestly, we cannot understand how 70 out of 70 reviews, all are 5 stars and say that it was the best experience ever. Some even claim that Padi should be a 3 star Michelin restaurant. In our opinion, these reviews should be deleted as they do not make justice to a Michelin starred restaurant. Padi might have the potential, to one day, be Michelin stared, but as of today, it definitely isn't. Both of us had the degustation 7-course menu (one of them with pairing) and unfortunately were very disappointed with what was served to us. The pairing was very odd, with most of the drinks being very sweet. The food itself was either nothing special or odd flavors. The service from several waiters felt a bit "too much" and always on top of us and it isn't natural to have so many waiters attending to you. The English level is poor, and we had difficulty understanding what they were saying. Most of the dishes we couldn't understand at least half of the ingredients. On top of that, all the waiters put a lot of effort into promoting TripAdvisor and telling us to mention their name on our review. Neither of these is part of a fine dining experience. To finalize, we've had actual Michelin star meals in the past, which were cheaper than this one. We wouldn't have had any problem paying for the meal, whatever the price, but this definitely wasn't worth the money asked. Both of us paid just over 4 million IDP, which comes to almost $400 AUD, €240 or $280 USD. From all the dishes we had and the pairings, nothing was amazing, nothing made us think this was a great experience and definitely nothing made us, at any time, want to come back. What surprises us the most, is that from 70 reviews here on TripAdvisor, not a single one is under 5 stars and not a single one mentions anything negative. We'd like also to mention that if you end up going there (food tasting is a very subjective matter) we'd recommend dining inside since outside it is very noisy due to several AC units which totally distract you from the natural and peaceful sounds of the river flowing below you. We hope that others have a much better experience than us. We came with hopes of having a fantastic dining experience, and came out very disappointed.

Probably the best dinner we had in Bali. Real fine dinning (priced accordingly) where every foodie should visit when in Bali. There are 3 menus with wine pairing and it worths every penny. Don’t go there if u are on a low budget.

I usually post when I experience bad food and service or exceptional outstanding quality. This restaurant is a must go for fine dining in Bali Ubud. Price is very reasonable especially when it’s fine dining. Every dish of the seafood course was delightful and the soup had great flavour capturing all the essence. The head chef greets you after for feedback and found out his cooking experience was with many top chef and Michelin restaurants!!

We booked our lunch for Black Friday promotion.It was absolutely amazing! The service, the food, and ambience. I totally recommend this place to anyone who look for the best Indonesian food and hospitality. Good value for money, even we got 99% discount at that time, we thought the regular price is obviously worth it. Definitely will stay in their resort also for next vacation so we could come here everyday during our stay. Dedy the server is amazing!!

Is a wonderful dining experience here. Every dish in their 9 course set dinner is delicious and beautifully presented. Great and attentive service staff.

(Translated by Google) Il Padi is a restaurant that offers a highly refined menu, even offering menus with food and beverage combinations of the highest level. I would like to point out right away that, to be in Indonesia, it is not cheap at all, for a couple you can easily exceed € 100, however it represents a noteworthy gastronomic experience. The dishes on the menu are combinations of daring but delicious flavors, accompanied (if you wish) by a cocktail menu prepared directly at your table with ingredients of the highest quality and elegance and mastery by the bartender. A special thanks goes to the staff who guided us in the discovery of flavors by recommending us, during the dinner, many interesting destinations to visit. Do not be surprised if you will be asked so many questions by the waiters, it is their way to relate to you, I suggest you give them confidence and treat them with kindness and you will learn, between a bite and the other, many news and curiosities on how to orient your holiday. . Thanks and Bayu, Juli, Putri, Gusti and Kisna. (Original) Il Padi è un ristorante che offre un menù ricercatissimo, proponendo addirittura dei menù con degli accostamenti food and beverage di altissimo livello. Preciso subito che, per essere in Indonesia, non è per nulla a buon mercato, a coppia si possono facilmente superare le 100 €, tuttavia rappresenta un’esperienza gastronomica degna di nota. Le pietanze presenti nel menù costituiscono accostamenti di sapori audaci ma deliziosi, accompagnati (se lo desiderate) da una carta di cocktail preparati direttamente al vostro tavolo con ingredienti di altissima qualità ed eleganza e maestria da parte del bartender. Un ringraziamento speciale va al personale che ci ha guidati nella scoperta dei sapori consigliandoci, nel corso della cena, tante mete interessanti da visitare. Non stupitevi se vi verranno fatte tante domande dai camerieri, è il loro modo per relazionarsi con voi, consiglio di dargli confidenza e di trattarli con gentilezza e apprenderete, tra un boccone e l’altro, tante notizie e curiosità su come orientare la vostra vacanza.

Padi Fine dining is the ultimate in fine dining ! A world class experience, incredible personalised service, amazing cocktails, outstanding food , actually out of this world food & pairing of fine wines! A gastronomic delight!! A must do experience right here in Ubud 👌

Despite the bad review of Nino Ramos, we decided to experience the restaurant We do not regret anything even if some food were not our taste like the beetroot I don’t like them but they were really original and good. We choose, my friend and I the 7 dish menu, bienvenue cocktail, service, presentation in the plate, atmosphere, table decoration such as plates and cutlery, all is perfect and exquisite. We did not pay so much like he said but only 3 million Rp, which is very reasonable for such an u forgettable dinner. We highly recommend the place and are really thankful to Wayan Lisna who took care of us for this beautiful moment. Thank you to the chef 👨‍🍳

"Magnificent!!! Unexpected dinner experience!" Just blown away with every single things here! The food, the ambience, the service, the staff, the interior, everything! This restaurant is part of Desa Visesa Resort and i recommend you to make a reservation first. From the beginning, the service was so attentive and personal, they asked your dietary preference so they will make sure again, you never failed with the food and enjoy all the experience! Love it! They served 3 courses, 7 courses ( Vegetarian and Pescatarian degustation menu). This is what i called, Improvement! this is new for me and yeah, i started with 3 courses chef degustation menu. Start with Aperitif, they brought me a glass of spakling wine as a welcome drink and 3 kinds of aperitif. ( i forgot the name, but, one of them contains with mung bean covered with cone) Next, Amuse Bouche, Warung Tani Garden Vegetables, something fresh to start the engine! all greens with the special sauce blend perfectly! Appetizer, i got Caviar a legumes. it's Parsley emulsion with Aubergine Caviar. It makes me, Die for a while. Astonishing taste! This dish comes with the pairing, sparkling martini. That's really good pairing. Never expect would be very nice combination! Next, got the lemon sorbet with basil powder before get the next course. for main course, i got, crusted snapper, it's my favourite one from all the dishes that i've done. Clam and mussel nage and Asparagus cream. Heaven!!! The snapper cooked perfectly! Dessert, Soufflé with passion fruit sorbet! I cant say anything, everything is set to be perfect! Perfect in taste, service and time. Also, they have really huge and many choices of fine wine! and, their signature cocktail. I tried 3 of them, choosed by their bartender and he never failed me with his magic hand! Thank you! Service staff was Unbelievable! Wayan was taking care of me with good attitude and explained all the dishes nicely! Thank you for you! Highly recommend this restaurant who respectful with the food and want to try something new experience with vegetarian and pescatarian degustation menu! YOU NEED TO PUT FIRST ON YOUR LIST while you're travelling to Ubud!!

(Translated by Google) A very interesting culinary experience, but overpriced prices compared to the quality and cost of living in Bali! The staff are very welcoming and smiling, but I was not able to eat one of the 7 menu items because of a dead ant in a piece of melon. The coffee at 45k Rp is bad and I do not think it's a real espresso. A very interesting experience for food adventurers but I think this is not a good place to eat. The prices are pretty close to star in Paris, but the status is so far from them. I was surprised to find a dead in the world of the week, and I was not there in any other restaurants in Bali during the whole week, and even less in France. And the coffee which should be an espresso at 45k Rp was really bad. (Original) Une expérience culinaire très intéressante, mais tarifs excessivement chers par rapport à la qualité et au coût de la vie de Bali! Le personnel est très accueillant et souriant, mais je n’ai pas pu manger un des 7 plats du menu à cause d’une fourmi morte dans un morceau de melon. Le café à 45k Rp est mauvais et je ne pense pas que ce soit un véritable expresso. A very interesting experience for food adventurers but I think the quality and standing of this restaurant don’t worth/justify the excessive high prices at all. The prices are pretty close to stared restaurants in Paris, but the standing is so far from them. I was surprised to find a dead ant in one of the 7 courses which hasn’t happened to me in any other restaurants in Bali during the whole week, and even less in France. And the coffee which should be an expresso at 45k Rp was really bad.

Such a romantic hidden gem dining for couple, excellent service and their food was fantastic

Best romantic dinner i had with my husband

Felt slightly upset that we spent my entire weekly pay check on dinner here, kinda defeats the purposes of eating in Bali. You're definitely paying for the service, the feeling of being treated like kings & queens. We got the 9 course meals and 3 glasses of wine, I felt like we received 15+ courses because the 9 course meal doesn't include appetisers. We were stuffed by the end and spent a total of 4 hours of a lovely evening here so can't complain too much because a fine dining experience like this would probably cost double the price in Australia, I just didn't expect Padi to be THIS fine dining! Unfortunately we won't come back because Balinese food tastes better and it still hurt my wallet, and the meals were kinda average, maybe I just don't know any better or have any appreciation for fine dining.

(Translated by Google) The impression of this day is ... It does not seem to be easy to find a restaurant that can beat this impression for a while. Every single one of them is a piece of work. I was more satisfied with the friendly and cheerful response of Miss Flower from the server manager. At the time, I also thanked the main chef and other chefs who greeted me, and I wrote them by e - mail. Google's reputation is not too short, so I can not figure out the price and I'm anxious about anxiety? I felt good, but I wanted to make a good choice ~ ~ The price is quite a 9 course course! I get out, but I want to taste the ingredients, the qualities and the atmosphere, and it is worth doing. (It was better than the Bangkok two-star Michelin who went 3 days ago on the basis of my personal stay in Ubum) * Reservations are required. (Original) 이날의 감동은...... 한동안 이 감동을 이길수 있는 레스토랑을 쉽게 찾을 것 같지가 않아요. 하나하나가 다 작품이구나 싶을 정도의 정성이 들어가고 맛은 또 어떠한지...... 서버 담당인 미스 플라워의 친절하고 유쾌한 응대 덕분에 더욱더 만족스러웠고요. 당시에도 인사나오신 메인쉐프님외 다른 쉐프님들께 감사인사를 보내고 메일로도 썼지만 이 자리를 빌어서 또 한번 감사인사를 드립니다. 구글평도 얼마 없어서 반신반의하고 가격도 잘 가늠이 안되서 불안불안? 했지만 왠지 느낌이 좋았고 선택하길 잘했다 싶었어요~~ 가격은 9코스로 하면 꽤! 나옵니다만 들어간 재료나 정성, 분위기를 맛보면 값어치를 하는구나 싶네요. (개인적으로 우붓 머물던 기준으로 3일전에 갔던 방콕 투스타 미슐랭보다도 더 좋았어요) *예약은 필수 입니다.

Awesome food, and had a great time

Excellent service, great place and great food

We chose the pescatarian dinner with 9 course and wine pairing. Pairing was not just wine but also cocktails which was lovely. Food and service was outstanding. A bit pricy considering its ubud, paid 600AUD all up, would do it again

(Translated by Google) An incredible place, one of the most comfortable places in Bali. It is more than lunch. Special thanks to the staff (Original) Невероятное место, одно из самых уютных мест на Бали. Это больше, чем обед. Отдельное спасибо персоналу

(Translated by Google) I visited the fine dining The food is delicious and the staff are so friendly It feels like a better place. Must visit in Ubud (Original) 파인다이닝을 죻아해서 방문했는데 음식도 맛있고 무엇보다 직원들이 넘 친절해서 더욱 좋은 곳으로 느껴집니다. 우붓에서 꼭 방문해보아야 함

Book though first table. Flew to bali the day before the booking. Booked a hotel and then they dropped the bombshell via an email not even worthy of a phone call apparently. They cancelled my booking and left us with no time to organise anything else. Stayed in ulluwatu and lost the hotel booking also. What a hoorible experience. No communication from manager. Called 4 times but they just didnt care.

Very nice food.

The place is very comfy, smoking area available, the food are superb, focuses on Balinese and Indonesian food. The music is nice. One of the waiter is kinda untrained, he just took my friend's plate even when she haven't finished yet.

One of the greatest dining experiences of my life! I can’t recommend the degustation menu enough! Food and service are second to none.

Enjoyed a pleasant evening dining here. We had numerous small vegan dishes. Would have liked to see more creative vegan options. Service attentive and friendly. After dinner we moved to the balcony outside the bar to enjoy some rather strong cocktails. The establishment arranged a shuttle bus to and from our accommodation (just 5 minutes away) very appreciated as it was pouring with rain. A tip to the driver made his day. Terima kasih.

Padi Fine Dining is just that, an exceptional display of dining at it's finest. Do not overlook the cocktails that are sure to impress. The bartenders work wonders with local flavors that will satisfy even the most sophisticated palates.

Fantastic service by ms Ina (Wayan) & the kitchen staff. Food was absolutely delicious. We booked our fine dining through first table. We had 7 courses Pescetarian. Our favourite dish is soft shell crab. The service is attentive. The atmosphere is good. The cutlery and plating are simple but elegant. Complementary drinks at the beginning of the service. I would not recommend mojito watermelon though, bloom is good. Price is reasonable. Thank you

Very nice food in a beautifull atmosphere. Service is 5 star

It is the best meal of my life. We ordered the 5 course vegetarian along with the alcohol pairing. It was amazing. The service along with the atmosphere of the restaurant was top notch.

everything is perfect! Best fine dining in Bali. Don't hesitate. make reservation now~i recommend 9 course.
