In the 1930’s composer and musicologist Colin McPhee and his wife, anthropologist Jane Belo, made Bali their home to study Balinese gamelan and culture. The house in Sayan on the outskirts of Ubud where they lived during their years on the island is now an upscale restaurant with plenty of historical charm. The building has obviously changed since McPhee and Belo’s time there, but the beauty of the view and the soft breezes of this hilly area are surely as they always were. Exceptional staff, excellent sangria and quirky colonial style decorations are highlights, and of course the stunning scenery makes it the perfect place for a social lunch or romantic dinner.
