A Midweek Dinner with Friends Above the Valley of the Kings
Getting together for dinner midweek is often just about finding a night that works for everyone. At CasCades Restaurant & Bar, Wednesdays offer a three-course Asian set menu, choices for each course, and a terrace with views over the Valley of the Kings.
The Wednesday Taste of Indonesia celebrates the richness of Indonesian cuisine with a specially curated three-course menu by Chef Budiarto, accompanied by live acoustic music for a relaxed and intimate dining experience. It’s a relaxed place to catch up with friends, enjoy a slow dinner, and watch the valley shift from day to night.
Why Wednesday Suits a Table of Friends
Weekends are often busy and come with high expectations. Wednesday feels different. It’s the night for that long-awaited dinner, a visit from a friend passing through Ubud, or finally gathering everyone because someone chose a date.
The Wednesday Taste of Indonesia is a three-course set menu made for nights like this. Everyone enjoys the same format, but you can still pick what you like for each course.
Dinner with Friends in Ubud Above the Valley
The terrace at CasCades Restaurant & Bar overlooks the Valley of the Kings with the Petanu River below. As evening falls, the last sunlight touches the treetops before the valley settles into dusk.
When you have dinner with friends in Ubud, the view adds something special while you talk. Live acoustic music creates a relaxed mood but doesn’t overpower your table. If you want to see how the terrace works for daytime gatherings, check out this guide to group lunches above the valley.
A Taste of Indonesia, Course by Course
The Starters That Open the Evening
The experience begins with a Taste of Indonesia, bringing together Gado Gado, Balinese Seafood Bouillabaisse, Chicken Satay, and Lawar. A vibrant introduction to the country’s diverse flavours and culinary traditions.
The Main Courses Worth the Choice
For the main course, Beef Tongseng features tender braised beef in a rich and aromatic Indonesian spicy coconut broth, served with steamed rice. Warming, fragrant, and deeply satisfying, it showcases the bold flavours at the heart of Indonesian cooking.
Something Sweet to Finish
The Bubur Injin is a comforting Balinese classic featuring slow-cooked black rice porridge, served with coconut sorbet for a delicate balance of rich, earthy flavours and refreshing sweetness.
A simple yet beautifully traditional way to end the meal, bringing a taste of Bali to the final course.
The Details That Make Wednesday Different
The setting is only part of the Wednesday Taste of Indonesia table experience. Live acoustic music accompanies the evening, adding a gentle soundtrack as friends settle in and the valley darkens beyond the terrace.
If you want the best view, ask for a table facing the Valley of the Kings when you book, if available. Sitting above the jungle with music playing and the last light fading makes Wednesday feel special compared to a regular dinner out.
