Nestled amidst Ubud’s tranquil jungle, the restaurant embodies the resort’s “Eat Well” philosophy, offering modern Mediterranean cuisine crafted with a deep commitment to sustainable practices.
A standout feature of Tall Trees Restaurant’s menu is its unwavering commitment to sustainable seafood.

The creations that has captivated both the hearts and taste buds of guests is the Tuna Tartare with Crispy Black Rice Crackers, a dish deeply inspired by the Legend of Balinese Tuna Tartare. In the coastal village of Amed, two masters—Nyoman, a skilled fisherman, and Ketut, a culinary innovator—joined forces to craft this remarkable dish. Nyoman’s freshly caught, tender tuna was brought to life by Ketut’s vibrant blend of spices, resulting in a symphony of flavors that pays homage to Bali’s rich culinary traditions. Drawing from Ketut’s creative genius, the dish is complemented with crispy black rice crackers, adding a perfect balance of texture and a delightful crunch to every bite. This masterpiece transcends mere dining—it’s a celebration of Bali’s traditions, creativity, and the power of unity. The Tuna Tartare is more than a dish; it’s a symbol of sustainable innovation and local pride, offering guests at Tall Trees Restaurant a chance to savor the soul of Bali in every bite.
A true testament to nature’s elegance and culinary mastery, the Crispy Skin Salmon Fillet with Corn Mash emerges as a dish that speaks to the soul of Ubud. This creation is more than just a meal; it is a tribute to the art of balancing simplicity with sophistication. Sourced from the finest local ingredients—garden-fresh sautéed spinach, a vibrant fennel-ginger salad, and the creamiest corn mash—it embodies the resort’s unwavering dedication to sustainability and the mindful sourcing of seafood.
Each element is carefully crafted to enhance the natural beauty of the ingredients, with the salmon fillet taking center stage, seasoned with subtlety and cooked to a perfect crisp. The tender flesh, juxtaposed with the crispy skin, creates a symphony of textures, while the accompanying sides bring harmony to every bite.
