Guest Chef Dinners at Uma Garden.

Collaboration nights around the fire.

Where can you find guest chef dinners in Bali?

Uma Garden in Umalas hosts guest chef and collaboration dinners in Bali from time to time. These are limited-seat evenings where a visiting chef cooks alongside the Uma Garden team, using the open fire, the garden setting and a menu created for that night.

Guest chef dinners at Uma Garden are special collaboration nights in Umalas, near Seminyak, built around fire-cooked food, a set or shared menu, cocktails, wine and a candlelit garden table. Upcoming dates are announced through What's On and Uma Garden’s official channels.

What a guest chef dinner is.

A guest chef dinner is a one-off evening built around a visiting cook, a collaboration menu and a limited number of seats. It is different from a normal dinner service: the menu is usually created for the night, the pace is more focused, and the food often moves through several courses or shared dishes.

At Uma Garden, the fire stays at the centre of the experience. Expect smoke, embers, grilled seafood, vegetables, steak or special dishes shaped by the guest chef’s style.

The next dinner.

Upcoming guest chef dinners are announced on What's On, Instagram and Uma Garden’s reservation channels once the chef, date and menu are confirmed. Because these dinners are limited-seat events, it is worth booking early when a new date is released.

Food, wine and the garden.

The exact menu changes by event, but the heart of the evening is usually the same: fire, seasonal ingredients, a visiting chef’s point of view and the Uma Garden team cooking in the open garden. Some dinners may be set menus, others may be more shared and relaxed.

Drinks can include wine, cocktails and Uma Garden’s barrel-aged Negroni. For regular dining, see the dinner menu, drinks menu, barrel-aged Negroni in Bali and wine and dinner near Seminyak.
