Di Sini Di Sana: A Culinary and Cultural Journey in Ubud

Stepping inside Di Sini Di Sana feels like being invited into someone’s fabulous old-school home. A glamorous auntie drops by for her afternoon chocolate cake. A nephew hurries through the rooms, proudly pointing out family treasures collected over many generations. It feels so personal. You can’t help but get curious about the stories the furniture the vases and the photographs and all the heirlooms are holding. The whole place is a bow of gratitude. Subtle little tributes are everywhere: a golden plaque – made from grandparents’ photos, a secret arch to the roof – a nod to the women who stood by. By the time your first dish arrives, the line between family and dining blurs completely, and suddenly, you too are part of this wonderfully eccentric household.

Di Sini Di Sana is a marriage of two worlds. Di Sini means here — the Indonesian roots, the heart and home that shaped its creator, Jonathan Rachman. His interiors are generous and whimsical, yet always poised, with just a touch of cheek. From his triumphantly complex interiors you can tell his was an upbringing that could break you or make you, maybe doing a bit of both. It’s from this messy, warm, demanding, story-filled world that Di Sini Di Sana emerged. A mini-museum of antiques and good taste.

Next door, Di Sana offers a different kind of delight. Di Sana means there — the world beyond. The elegance of clean lines, muted tones, and careful editing, tempered by Jonathan’s years living in Europe and San Francisco. Together, Di Sini Di Sana feels like a conversation between two worlds: heritage flirting with polish, exuberance dancing with grace, and the past finding a way into the future. What’s especially pleasant is that it doesn’t feel like one of those hollow trendy spots built just for IG FOMO. It’s confident, layered, it’s alive with meaning, history and intention. And that’s special.
