Christmas Dinner in Ubud Above the Valley

Christmas in Ubud has its own tropical rhythm. There is no winter chill, but there is warm evening air, a green valley, and the pleasure of gathering around a festive table above the jungle. At CasCades Restaurant & Bar, Christmas in the Valley brings together a Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas Day brunch, and a festive Garden BBQ, giving you several ways to celebrate the season above Ubud. 

Why Christmas Dinner in Ubud Feels Different 

For many travellers, Christmas means escaping the cold and spending time indoors. In Ubud, the festive season can unfold in the open air, with the jungle canopy stretching below and the sound of the valley adding a natural soundtrack to the occasion.

The festive spirit is still there, in the food, music, and company, but the setting gives the celebration a slower, more relaxed rhythm. You can take your time over dinner, enjoy the warm evening air, and spend Christmas somewhere that feels distinctly different from home.

At CasCades Restaurant & Bar, the Christmas programme is designed around that sense of togetherness, with celebrations for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as well as an evening Garden BBQ.

Christmas Eve Dinner Above the Valley

Christmas Eve begins with a festive three-course dinner from 6 pm on Thursday, 24 December 2026. Seasonal eggnog and live acoustic music accompany the meal, while sparkling festive décor adds a little Christmas warmth to the open-air setting.

The Christmas Eve dinner gives you a more intimate way to celebrate the season. For those who prefer a proper sit-down Christmas dinner rather than a larger daytime gathering, this is the evening to choose.

The combination of a three-course meal, acoustic music, and the valley setting makes it easy to settle into the evening rather than rushing through dinner and moving on to the next part of the night.

When the afternoon gives way to evening, the festive programme continues with a Garden BBQ from 7 pm.

The marketplace-style BBQ brings premium meats and freshly caught seafood to interactive live stations, with the selection priced by weight. Live music adds to the atmosphere, while the tropical pool setting gives the evening a more relaxed feel than the formal Christmas Eve dinner.

For those who prefer a casual Christmas evening, the Garden BBQ offers a different way to celebrate. You can choose what you want from the live stations, settle into the tropical surroundings, and let dinner stretch into the evening.

A Christmas the Whole Family Can Share

Christmas is rarely a table for two, and the festive celebration at CasCades Restaurant & Bar is built with that in mind. Past festive seasons have brought family touches to the day, from live entertainment to activities that keep the youngest at the table as delighted as everyone else, so the long table works whether you are travelling as a couple or bringing three generations to Bali for the holidays.

If you are planning the day around family, CasCades Restaurant & Bar is set up to hold a celebration of any size, and the family-friendly side of the restaurant shows how the terrace handles a full table without losing its warmth.

The Setting That Makes the Season

The valley is what gives the celebrations their sense of place. CasCades Restaurant & Bar sits above the Valley of the Kings, with the Petanu River threading through the jungle below and the open-air setting bringing the landscape into the experience.

As daylight fades, the valley takes on a warmer tone, and the festive atmosphere begins to take over. Christmas dinner feels different here, not because the traditions have changed, but because the setting has. You can celebrate with familiar food, music, and company while surrounded by the tropical landscape of Ubud.

For a broader look at celebrating special occasions at the restaurant, the best special occasion dining in Ubud offers more inspiration.
