Restaurant 'Dome' is the latest addition to Bali’s renowned Desa Potato Head resort, blending eco-conscious design with urbane sophistication. Known for its beach club, hotel, and spa, the resort now introduces this OMA-designed dining spot that perfectly complements its sustainable ethos while adding a futuristic twist.
The restaurant's standout architectural feature -- a dome-shaped enclosure inspired by Buckminster Fuller -- creates an intimate dining space complemented by circular forms found throughout the space, including a slightly sunken-in bar. The aquamarine blue epoxy flooring, reclaimed wood furniture, and antique rugs contribute to the harmonious design, while skylights and vintage JBL speakers elevate the ambiance.
Restaurant Dome’s menu, crafted by award-winning chef Diego Recarte, is a fusion of South American and European flavors. Every dish showcases locally sourced organic produce paired with biodynamic wines, offering a culinary experience as thoughtful as the design. Whether dining by candlelight or lounging in the communal spaces, guests are invited to connect, relax, and savor every detail of this unique, eco-friendly destination.
