At Luna Beach Club in Bali, an unusual gastronomic project has been launched – a dining format where Michelin-level haute cuisine is combined with virtual reality. It's not a classic restaurant or a show, but an experimental format: what a dinner might look like if taste, visual immersion, and a story told through food are combined.
The culinary part of the project is overseen by Michelin-starred Japanese chef Kazushige Suzuki. But here he doesn't just cook dishes. The dinner is conceived as a journey: guests are gradually taken through eight virtual worlds. At a certain point, you put on a VR headset – the space around you changes, and with this, a new dish is served.
The visual part doesn't distract from the food or turn the dinner into a show. It rather creates an atmosphere and helps you feel the taste, presentation, and rhythm of the dinner differently. In the end, it is perceived not as a standard set of dishes, but as a coherent story where food and impressions are intertwined.
The format is intimate – a small group of guests gathers for one dinner. These dinners are held on weekends and are designed as an experimental format rather than a mass event.
Similar projects exist in New York and Tokyo. The emergence of this format shows how the language of modern gastronomy is changing: dinner increasingly becomes a way to tell a story and convey an impression, going beyond the usual restaurant experience.
Ticket prices start at 2,000,000 rupiahs.
