From celebrating the gastronomic heritage of Bali in Canggu to savoring the art of Italian artisanship in Ubud, these two culinary events are created to showcase the island’s leading talents in a contemporary and casual setting. Mark your calendar this April for these two delicious feasts at COMO Uma Canggu and COMO Uma Ubud.
COMO Uma Canggu: COMO Culinary Odyssey – Gianyar Edition
Following the flavourful success of the inaugural Bangli Edition, COMO Culinary Odyssey continues its journey to showcase Bali’s other regional cuisine. This time, Gianyar’s culinary legacy is spotlighted from 4 April to 31 May 2025 at COMO Beach Club.
Renowned as the artistic and cultural heart of Bali, the regency is also renowned for its treasured culinary traditions. “Gianyar holds some of Bali’s most treasured culinary traditions, where every dish carries a story of its people. With this menu, I want to bring these stories to life through flavours that are as bold and vibrant as the region itself,” says executive chef I Kadek Sugiantara.
Taste vibrant signature dishes such as Jukut Ares Bebek, a humble and flavourful duck and banana stem soup served with sate lilit tuna and a slow-cooked tepeng rice a la Gianyar. The set menu also includes Pisang Rai, a sweet dessert made of steamed banana, coconut, and palm sugar. Pair the dish with arak-based cocktails such as Ubud Twilight (arak Bali, longan purée, maraschino, and cucumber) or Ayung Bloom (pandan-infused arak Bali, spiced rum, dragon fruit, and peanut butter).
The COMO Culinary Odyssey – Gianyar Edition set menu is available for lunch and dinner at COMO Beach Club for Rp415,000++ per person.
