The story
Rumari is the signature dining destination of Raffles Bali, set on the clifftops of Jimbaran on Bali's southern peninsula. Part of one of the world's most storied hotel brands, the restaurant carries Raffles' characteristic sense of occasion — unhurried, attentive, and grounded in place — into every dinner service.
The kitchen draws from two distinct culinary traditions, weaving Asian and European influences into a menu that feels at home in its tropical surroundings without leaning on novelty for its own sake. The approach reflects both the island's rich pantry and the broader craft traditions of European cooking — a combination that gives the dining room a genuine breadth of character.
That breadth extends to the wine program. In 2022, Wine Spectator recognized Rumari with its Award of Excellence, a distinction that speaks to the seriousness with which the restaurant curates its cellar. For guests who care about what's in the glass as much as what's on the plate, this is meaningful assurance.
Rumari operates within Raffles Bali, a property designed around privacy and intimacy. Dinner here is table service in the fullest sense — considered, personal, and unhurried. The option of a private chef experience adds another layer for guests seeking something more exclusive, whether for a special occasion or simply a preference for discretion.
The combination of Asian and European cuisine, a Wine Spectator-recognized wine list, and the Raffles standard of hospitality makes Rumari one of the more considered dinner destinations on the island.
