Gajah Putih is a fine-dining restaurant in Ubud where an innovative menu blends with live Balinese theatrical performance. The restaurant’s founder Maxim Krasyuk spent about three years developing the concept. He dreamed of creating a space where gastronomy and theater merge into one, ensuring the evening leaves a lasting impression on guests.
The dishes are distinguished by culinary artistry and exquisite presentation. The performance weaves together Balinese traditions, culture, and imagination with a modern narrative.
Cuisine and ProgramsThe restaurant uses fresh, seasonal produce from local Balinese farms alongside the finest ingredients from around the world. The 11-course menu can be paired with alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages, while a dedicated wine pairing is also available for the "Malam" program. The venue offers two tasting programs: "Lingkaran" evokes the Balinese dawn and traditions, while "Malam" transports guests into the island's sunset and night. Dinner service runs from Wednesday to Sunday, 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM.
