The Ubud-based culinary destination named one of the 30 Best Restaurants in Indonesia
Tucked in the cultural heart of Ubud, Syrco BASÈ is quickly cementing its status as one of Southeast Asia’s most talked-about dining experiences. The restaurant, led by acclaimed two-Michelin-starred chef Syrco Bakker, has been awarded the Gold Award at the Prestige Gourmet Awards 2025, held this May in Jakarta.
The awards—hosted by Prestige Indonesia, the country’s leading luxury lifestyle publication—celebrate the top 30 restaurants across the nation, as selected by an exclusive panel of judges from Indonesia’s inner culinary and cultural circles. Only ten restaurants earned the coveted Gold designation, making Syrco BASÈ’s win all the more significant.
With a philosophy rooted in traceability, nature, and transparency, Syrco BASÈ is more than just a restaurant—it’s a movement toward meaningful, sustainable dining. Each dish is an exploration of Indonesia’s rich biodiversity, elevated with world-class technique and a deeply personal narrative that reflects Chef Syrco’s Indonesian heritage.
“We are honoured to be recognised by Prestige Indonesia,” says Chef Syrco. “This award is a tribute to the passion of our team and our commitment to crafting heartfelt, creative dining journeys in Ubud.”
The experience extends beyond the plate. At the heart of Syrco BASÈ is KU Culinary Atelier, a 12-seat intimate space where guests are invited to connect with ingredients, chefs, and the stories behind each creation. It’s farm-to-table in its most refined form—an immersive, thoughtful approach that resonates with today’s conscious traveller.
Opened in January 2024, Syrco BASÈ has already caught international attention. It was named one of Bali’s 20 best restaurants by Traveller (Australia), and was featured by Travel + Leisure Tastemakers as one of the Best Restaurants in Indonesia in 2024.
Now, with the Gold Award from Prestige Indonesia, Syrco BASÈ has firmly established itself as a culinary destination for those seeking substance, soul, and the unforgettable flavours of Bali. (*)
