In Ubud, far from the coastal hustle, lies a restaurant hidden deep within Bali’s jungle, blending sophistication with authenticity: Akar. Its name, meaning “root” in Indonesian, evokes a return to origins of cuisine, of the land, and of deep, genuine flavors. Here, the K-Club Group has created a place where every detail, from the hand-carved furniture to the generous plates, tells a story.

Spread across two levels, Akar breathes nature: raw wood, soft light filtering through the leaves, and sweeping views of the canopy. The atmosphere, intimate in the early evening, subtly transforms as the sun sets, welcoming lively conversations and, at times, a live DJ who infuses the dinner with a vibrant touch.

On the menu, the chef showcases the finest cuts of meat: Wagyu A5, Black Angus MB6, and Tomahawk, all charcoal-grilled with meticulous precision. Side dishes are equally impressive seasonal vegetables, delicate purées, and house-made sauces elevated by a carefully curated wine list. “We wanted a place where you could enjoy an exceptional dish and still feel at home,” shares a member of the team.

Akar is more than a restaurant – it’s an experience. Guests come for romantic dinners, evenings with friends, or to celebrate special occasions. Discreet yet attentive service and a thoughtfully selected playlist turn every meal into a lasting memory. And when night falls over Ubud, the air fills with a unique energy that of a place where elegance and warmth meet effortlessly.
