12 Years of Cuca

 


Twelve candles. Twelve trips around the sun. And twelve glorious years of serving up tapas that (let’s be honest) have probably made you lick your plate more than once.

When we flung open Cuca’s doors back in 2013, we had one big dream: to create a place that felt local in spirit, legendary in taste, and unforgettable in the memories it sparked. Fast forward to today, and that dream is alive, thriving, and garnished with a cheeky sprinkle of salt.

We’ve proudly stayed true to our roots—sourcing fresh, local ingredients from our Indonesian backyard, giving classic dishes a rebellious twist, and filling our Jimbaran hideaway with a warmth you can’t fake. (No mood lighting required.)

Of course, none of this would mean much without you. Yes, you. The curious foodies, the date-nighters, the birthday candle blowers, and the “just one more cocktail” crew. You’ve helped us grow from a bold little idea into a restaurant that’s become, dare we say, a little bit legendary.

So as we turn 12, we want to say thank you for making Cuca your delicious tradition, your special occasion go-to, your unforgettable escape. Here’s to the next dozen years of culinary mischief, shared plates, and moments that prove why Local, Legendary, Unforgettable isn’t just a tagline—it’s who we are.

Come hungry. Come curious. And come celebrate with us. After all, you’re part of this story too.

Cuca: a Restaurant that Cares


We believe that a restaurant should serve more than just delicious food—it should serve its people, its guests and its planet. That’s why we created back in 2020 (right when we felt the community needed our commitment the most) #CucaCares, a program that captures everything we stand for: sustainability, education, and heart.

Today, we are thrilled to share some exciting news: we are in the final steps of becoming Indonesia's first independent restaurant to achieve B Corporation certification! With a preliminary score of 83.9, this milestone highlights our promise to meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

We didn’t embark on this journey for the recognition. We did it because we believe that excellence in dining can, and should, go hand in hand with caring for the world around us. Every choice we make—from the farmers we work with to the way we empower our team—reflects a simple, powerful truth: we are here to do good.

Through #CucaCares, we aim to show that a better future isn't just possible—it’s already happening, one thoughtful decision at a time. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Together, we are making a difference.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this mission to care, nurture, and inspire.
