Few dining rooms feel as unexpected as The cave by Chef Ryan Clift. Set within a natural limestone formation, the restaurant draws immediate attention with its subterranean setting, yet the experience continues to evolve long after the first impression. At the heart is a menu that changes every four months, conceived by the globally recognised chef whose name the restaurant bears.
The latest chapter marks the 13th iteration of the concept, introducing new creations presented through seven- and 10-course menus available for both lunch and dinner. As with previous editions, diners are invited to experience a cuisine-blind approach, allowing each course to unfold as a surprise shaped by Chef Ryan’s wide-ranging culinary influences.
The new selection draws inspiration from several culinary traditions, combining Japanese flavours, Balinese elements, and French technique. Among the highlights of this edition is one of Chef Ryan’s personal favourites, Foie Gras Éclair, a playful interpretation that reflects his inventive approach.
