About Syrco BASÈ
Launched in January 2024 in Ubud, Bali, Syrco BASÈ is a pioneering culinary hub created by two Michelin-starred chef Syrco Bakker, along with his culturally diverse team of culinary professionals, sommeliers, mixologists, architects, artists and designers. Although the Michelin Guide is yet to enter Indonesia, this is the first time a two-starred chef has established a restaurant in the country, and the archipelago’s extraordinary produce, culinary traditions, artisans, farmers and fishers—along with Chef Syrco’s Indonesian roots—are celebrated throughout the five distinct areas of the culinary hub. Rather than simply focusing on sustainability, Chef Syrco and his team engage in constant dialogue with each ingredient’s supplier to ensure that every step in the supply chain is one of fairness, integrity and respect, and encapsulates his guiding principles of Traceability, Nature, and Transparency. Just six months after opening, Syrco BASÈ was listed among Bali’s 20 best restaurants by major Australian media outlet, Traveller and mentioned as one of the Best Restaurants in Indonesia in 2024 by Travel + Leisure Tastemakers.
