Tapis Restaurant
Celebrating the exquisite flavours
of Indonesia, Tapis Restaurant takes Kayumanis diners on a culinary
discovery across the diverse archipelago. Encompassed within an
intimate compound beneath the shade of the estate’s towering
grove of coconut palms, Tapis Restaurant explores the art of fine
dining and social interaction at the table.
Every villa at Kayumanis estate has been named after
a part of the coconut palm and Tapis Restaurant is no exception.
The term ‘tapis’ refers the fibrous bark on the top
of the palm that is often used in natural handicrafts, and the restaurant
has been appropriately name to pay respect to this unique gift from
Mother Nature that represents a sustainable aspect of daily Balinese
life. Every part of the coconut is utilized; wood for construction,
palm fronds for ceremonial offerings, husk fibre as a source of
fuel and coconut flesh as a cooking ingredient.
Tapis Restaurant features a traditional
thatched dining pavilion furnished in classic table settings, a
stylish cocktail alcove and several cushioned gazebo’s scattered
across the garden. Meals are prepared in an open-plan kitchen where
the Chef oversees all preparations with precision and flair.
Market fresh produce, local herbs, spices, Jimbaran
seafood, imported meats and organic vegetables culminate into a
delicious menu of distinctive regional cuisine to tantalize the
taste buds. There many exceptional dishes, however, the lavish Rijstaffel
feast for two is a sampler menu showcasing some of Indonesia’s
finest specialties. All meals are served with ‘rice of the
day’ and a selection of spicy condiments.
Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner for villa guests’
as well as outside diners, Tapis Restaurant is set to elevate the
image and piquant character of Indonesian cuisine with standards
that will rival any five-star establishment.
