<a href="https://www.cucabali.com/?destinasian">Cuca’s</a> chef and co-owner, Kevin Cherkas, boasts an impressive résumé that includes stints at Ferran Adrià’s legendary El Bulli and Daniel Boulud’s eponymous Daniel. His stylish but casual Jimbaran space has drawn everyone from Hong Kong singer-actor Nicholas Tse to K-Pop star Jessica Jung. Dine tapas-style or opt for a tasting menu, where 100 percent Indonesian ingredients are served with international verve and more than a hint of whimsy. A rose of gently smoked East Bali butterfish nestles on a lime-green bed of parsley crumbs beside a hot pink beetroot yogurt; fork-tender barbecued octopus is arranged atop an “Asian gazpacho” featuring coriander and lemongrass; a mango “yolk” adorns a white coconut and passion fruit pudding served in a ceramic eggshell. Families are well catered for, usually in the garden lounge area, with a children’s menu and a playground. —Theodora Sutcliffe
