Terrasse du Lac Tamblingan

Overlooking the mystical waters of sacred Lake Tamblingan from the high rim road, Terrasse du Lac Tamblingan combines the charm of a French alpine auberge with panoramic views of one of Bali's most serene volcanic caldera lakes. The rustic timber dining deck gazes down across ancient rainforest canopies to the mirrored surface of the lake below, where traditional dugout canoes glide silently across the water. A cozy wood-burning stove keeps the interior warmly inviting during misty mountain afternoons.

The unique menu marries rustic French alpine classics with fresh Indonesian mountain produce. The fresh lake tilapia, caught daily by local fishermen, is seasoned with aromatic balinese spices and grilled inside banana leaves, while the rich French onion soup gratinée with melted Gruyère cheese provides quintessential alpine comfort. Conclude with a warm caramelized apple tart tatin and hot spiced wine.
