Cultural dinner shows in Bali are the ultimate experience where you can take in the fabulous performances while relishing a good meal. These cover dance, Balinese culture and more.
This is a restaurant that offers a weekly schedule of captivating Balinese dancers at Bali Anantara. Enjoy the fine cuisine to various cultural performances such as the 100 member Kecak Dance Troupe on Mondays, the captivating numbers by the kris and Barong dancers on Wednesdays and a night of fun in the company of interactive skits done by jogged. Saturdays are quite popular for the very amusing and fun 'Frogs Dance' performed by children. Even an afternoon meal at this place is quite an interactive affair as you can take part in the craft workshops offering wood carving, bamboo weaving and kite making.
Tadjung restaurant is where you will witness traditional Balinese performances every first and third Saturday of the month. The place is a hotel of which the owners are responsible for creating the Tadjung Sari Foundation; an organisation that supports and encourages local arts and culture. Traditional Balinese dances are conducted by local children who sway to rhythms created by the equally traditional gamelan orchestra manned by seasoned Balinese musicians. The place has an amphitheatre around which a buffet dinner is set up for guests to enjoy good food to sights of classical ballets such as Legong and Baris.
This beautiful café is found at the foot of the amphitheatre and lotus pond of Ubud's Taman Saraswati Temple. An a-la carte menu together with Italian and fusion cuisine is on offer as you enjoy the marvellous views of jogged dances on Monday, legong ladies dance and orchestra on Tuesdays, the Ramayana Ballet on Wednesdays, barong dances on Thursdays and Saturdays legong dances to the accompaniment of a men's orchestra. On Sundays, patrons are treated to a full Balinese theatrical performance. This is the perfect venue to plan an evening out, for instance from the likes of a beachside Seminyak hotel in Bali; remember the lush folds of Ubud highlands can be explored during the day while reserving the evening's entertainment at Café Lotus before heading back to your Bali beach resort.
A restaurant that's part of a hotel in Ubud the place is not sun sand and surf typical of a Balinese stay; but the restaurant is fine for good cuisine and entertainment such as music by traditional bamboo gamelan instruments and nightly performances of Balinese jogged bumbung dances. It is an interactive fun environment to enjoy when touring the inner folds of Bali.
This place too is in Ubud a place most famous for arts and culture in Bali. Enjoy dinner to sights of Kecak fire dances, full moon performances by the Teges Kanginan community, legong on Sundays and dance dramas on Saturdays.
That's right! A night at the zoo like no other is on offer. Just the ticket for enhancing luxurious stays in Bali, this experience is equal to those offered at luxury Bali resorts similar to Anantara Seminyak Bali Resort. Head over to the Bali Zoo in Singapadu and enjoy dinner to live performances. You can look forward to a photo session afterwards posing with the most famous inhabitants of the zoo.
