Bali Dining Experience
Inside Merah Putih: Bali’s Soaring Tropical Sanctuary for Elevated Dining
Merah Putih delivers a memorable Bali dinner experience, combining spectacular tropical architecture, friendly service that takes dietary needs seriously, and a colourful, flavourful menu.
Stepping into Merah Putih feels less like entering a standard restaurant and more like walking into a luxury tropical greenhouse. Tall indoor palm trees stretch toward soaring glass ceilings, flanked by glass walls and lush greenery that immediately set the scene for a special night out in Bali.
We booked a table for dinner during our Bali trip, and the space made an impression before any food reached the table. It brings a refined dress-up vibe to the evening, surrounding every table in leafy architecture and dramatic proportions.

At a glance: the experience
- Cocktails featuring traditional and unique flavour combinations.
From Walk-in Wine Rooms to Mindful Service
Before diving into the food, the drink program makes a strong statement. An under-lit marble bar with green stools sits opposite carved wall reliefs, leading toward a walk-in wine room featuring illuminated cabinets and wall-mounted shelves.
The cocktails strike a balance between traditional notes and creative flavour twists. Drinks range from coupe glasses served at dark tables beside soft lamps to short cut-glass serves topped with foam and mint, as well as highballs filled with coconut flesh and ice.
What makes dining here particularly reassuring while travelling is the team's dedicated approach to dietary requirements. Friendly and clear service takes the stress out of managing dietary needs away from home.
Colourful Plates and Playful Indonesian Flavours
The kitchen delivers fun, flavourful food with striking visual presentation across every course. The table fills with bright details, from steamed bao buns packed with braised meat, radish, and fresh coriander to small bowls of green broth and dark-sauced dishes garnished with nasturtium leaves.
Larger spreads bring sliced medium-rare beef steak accompanied by rich gravy, crisp krupuk crackers, potato, sambal, and rice wrapped in a banana leaf. Dessert arrives as a vibrant bowl layered with coconut flakes, ice cream, green cendol jelly, red sago pearls, yellow fruit cubes, and rose petals.
