Banda
Private chef. Bali villas. Worlds on a plate.
The Chef
From Bandung,
by way of Bali.
Born in Bandung, Banda crossed the strait to Bali eight years ago and never looked back. What began as a short sabbatical became a kitchen, then a craft, then a private practice sought out by villa owners and retreat hosts across the island.
Her work is deliberately foreign — French, Italian, Japanese, Levantine — the cuisines she fell in love with in training, now served under tropical skies. The warung is not her canvas. A marble kitchen in Canggu at sunset is.
Every menu is written for one evening. Sourced that morning, plated by her own hand, served to the rhythm of the room. No printed specials, no repeating set.

How villa managers, planners & guests talk about her.
“Banda has cooked in our villas for three seasons now. We no longer offer alternatives to our guests.”
“She plated a six-course tasting for thirty-six people in a kitchen built for six. Nobody noticed.”
“Our group had a raw vegan, two coeliacs and an anchovy fanatic. Every plate came back empty.”
“Banda made our anniversary quiet, and then unforgettable.”
