Cuca
Jimbaran, Indonesia
Cuca makes an appealing case for a relaxed meal with serious culinary intent. Kevin Cherkas and Virginia Entizne’s Jimbaran restaurant pairs globally inspired ideas with local sourcing, offering tapas, cocktails and desserts designed for a sociable table. A chef-selected meal provides an alternative to choosing individual dishes. The appeal is its accessibility: curious cooking is presented in a format that encourages conversation and sharing, making it a useful counterpoint to Bali’s more ceremonial tasting-menu destinations.
