Taru Bali Eatery & Bar

Taru Bali brings a fresh, contemporary vocabulary to the traditional tapestry of Indonesian archipelago cuisine. Named after the Balinese word for tree and sacred plants, the restaurant is tucked quietly along Jalan Drupadi, featuring polished teakwood tables, leafy courtyard greens, and soft rattan lantern pendants. The kitchen's philosophy centers on rediscovering forgotten Indonesian botanical herbs, foraging native greens, and executing them with precise contemporary technique.

The centerpiece dish is the crispy duck confit, cured in aromatic betutu spices including wild turmeric, shallots, and galangal, then cooked until the skin turns to brittle glass while the meat remains succulent. It is accompanied by fragrant kecombrang (torch ginger) rice and three house sambals of varying warmth. Pair with signature cocktails infused with pandan, lemongrass, and local arak infusions. Reserve an outdoor garden table for a relaxed evening meal.
