The site once housed Beggars Bush in the 1970s, a bar that drew artists and expatriates and helped shape Ubud's reputation as a creative center. The current restaurant continues this legacy by attracting artists and supporting local talent.
The restaurant serves as a gathering spot where local musicians and artists perform regularly, reflecting Ubud's role as a creative center. The kitchen draws on Balinese ingredients and cooking methods while incorporating global influences, creating a place where locals and visitors naturally meet.
