Relaxed fine dining in Bali
June 29, 2026
Bali, especially Ubud, is known as the place for rest, relaxation and rejuvenation.
Yoga retreats, meditation, and clean eating are all orders of the day for many tourists who flock to Bali. Traditionally, fine dining would not make it onto the to-do list of most tourists.
Partly, this is because fine dining is not generally known for being a relaxed affair. Some people can find it stuffy and overbearing, preferring a more laid back approach to dining.
Although this stereotype can be all too accurate in other establishments, Balis premier fine dining restaurant Mozaic does things a little differently.
Led by chef Chris Salans, the team at Mozaic has been at the forefront of cuisine in Bali for the last 23 years. Chef Blake Thornley, from Christchurch, New Zealand, who is now the new chef and co-owner of Mozaic, has started working in kitchens at the age of 11 and has a passion for cooking and creativity.
