Donna Restaurant, Ubud

Where cosmopolitan charm meets the Caribbean in Bali, Donna is where the night feels chic yet warmly familiar.

The atmosphere is upbeat — lively music, dimmed lights.

Service feels instinctive — attentive without intrusion. The kind where your glass refills itself, and the staff somehow remembers your favorite cocktail.

“Cosmopolitan energy with a Balinese soul — where every detail feels effortlessly right.”

Drinks first, naturally.

Crafted cocktails arrive like small works of art — balanced, refreshing, and just strong enough to spark conversation.

Then, the starter dish.

Tuna ceviche — crowned with tobiko caviar, radish, pickled onion, and herbs. Fresh, elegant, and quietly confident on the plate. Each bite sings with freshness — bright and clean.

For the main, grilled fish.

Yellowfin tuna loin meets cherry tomatoes, basil, lemon, and truffle potato purée. A love letter to simplicity — each bite bright, layered, and beautifully restrained. The flavors dance between indulgence and simplicity, letting the ingredients speak in their purest form.

And then, the final act — the Melting DONNA.

A glossy chocolate sphere dissolving under warm white chocolate, revealing mousse, brownie, and candied nuts. It’s theatrical and dramatic when the waitress pours the warm white chocolate on the chocolate sphere, unveiling mousse, brownie, strawberries, and candied nuts in a dessert transformation that is the equivalent of a standing ovation — theatrical, playful, and impossible not to photograph.

Between bites, the restaurant manager moves through the room, greeting guests with the ease of someone who genuinely cares.

By the end, you realize — Donna could belong in any global capital, yet it somehow remains unmistakably Ubud.

A place for those who appreciate style, flavor, and a little everyday magic — because luxury should also make you smile.
