BLANCO par Mandif

Love the team! Friendly and fun! They also take note on my allergies. Food starts real good! MVP dish of the night shall be the fish! The pairing throughout the night is good. Absolutely love the first drink made from arak! Well this place can’t disappoint as it’s rated top 1 in Indonesia 💛

An absolute must visit for fine dining lovers. This restaurant offers an exceptional menu. We decided on the signature menu with beverage pairing. I highly recommend the pairing as 3 out of 8 courses were served with a cocktail that lifted flavours like no wine could have. The service was impeccable with high attentiveness but without intrusion- just what you want. I can't even start talking food, too good. As food connoisseur we were extremely satisfied by flavour and outstanding technique. This restaurant, if located in Europe, would be on the Michelin 2 star list.

An exemplary display of fine degustation! Service was impeccable and tailored; from being greeted at the outdoor entrance to printing out menus with our names on it and even giving us a handwritten card with both our names. Dessert was ridiculously thought out, thanks for the incredible experience.

One of the best restaurants I've been to in a while. The tasting menu was a perfect way to discover Indonesian cuisine cooked at a Michelin level. An amazing blend of western and Indonesian cooking techniques. I really appreciated the way the dishes were brought and presented. Each dish is carefully thought out, beautiful and delicious. The service was professional, warm and the attention to detail was phenomenal. The waitstaff were kind enough to kindly offer to call a taxi after the meal. Again, the attention to detail was really appreciated.

We came for dinner on a Thursday evening, we were the only table at the restaurant. The ambiance of the restaurant is great, the service was slow. The food was good, I especially enjoyed tahu telur and the smoked duck breast.

To start with the positive, the food was mostly pretty on point and the service was great. Now, for that price point, there was a number of problems: 1. One of dish served (wing bean) was litterally uneatable in one of the plates (extremely hard, impossible to cut through). We were offered a replacement - ok 2. The lobster, same thing, extremely bland and extremely tough to cut through. 3. Idk what is going in the kitchen but we could hear somebody coughing and sneezing loudly in there the whole night (we sat there for 4h+). Very disturbing from such a place... and to add to that there was obviously a young child as well there in the kitchen or some back room, as we repeatedly heard it screaming... I mean seriously ? 4. Cocktail prepared upon request was a huge miss. Tasted like a cheap bar cocktail but in a fancy glass. I mean, Jose Cuervo as liquor to pair with fine dining, really ? Now looking through the Google review for the restaurant, a lot of them (recent) are obviously FAKE. Have things gone downhill so far for this place that they have to go down this path ?... Anyways. For that price point, go somewhere else in Ubud unless they manage to get their things together.

An evening at Blanco Par Mandif was a culinary odyssey! Chef Mandif M. Warokka's innovative Indonesian cuisine is nothing short of spectacular, the dinner was a feast for the senses. It began with a unique touch – the handwashing ceremony. Instead of the conventional warm towel, they elevate this routine into a refined ritual 💅, setting the tone for the exceptional evening ahead. We tried the tasting menu. You can see that each dish was a testament to the chef's meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to culinary excellence. But 2 standout stars are the "14 Days Aged Smoked Duck Breast" and the "Signature Getug 6.0 A MUST TRY!!!! The service at Blanco Par Mandif was nothing short of exceptional. The attention to detail, from the timing of each course to the knowledge of the menu, was nothing short of phenomenal. The seamless orchestration of the evening's proceedings added to the overall charm of the dining experience. For anyone seeking the pinnacle of progressive Indonesian dining, Blanco Par Mandif is a must-visit destination 👏👏👏👏

Fantastic experience. The food was amazing. You can tell how much thought and passion has gone into creating the menu and the paired cocktails/drinks. The staff are clearly also passionate and knowledgeable about the food. A once in a lifetime experience.
