An exclusive kitchen takeover by Chef Andrew Walsh and Chef Tude at Uppercut Steakhouse.
JW Marriott Surabaya continues its signature culinary series, Flavours Beyond Borders, with Across the Table: Where Soulful Flavours Meet the Flame, an exclusive kitchen takeover at Uppercut Steakhouse in collaboration with Sazón Bali, the open-fire Mediterranean bar and restaurant in Canggu. The limited-time collaboration brings together Sazón’s vibrant Mediterranean-inspired flavours and communal dining philosophy with Uppercut’s signature dry-aged meats, Josper-fired expertise and contemporary steakhouse elegance. The collaboration celebrates how flavours, traditions and craftsmanship can come together at one table.
Bringing the collaboration to life is award-winning Chef Andrew Walsh, renowned for his bold flavours, craftsmanship and unwavering commitment to exceptional ingredients. Joining him is Chef Tude, also known as I Putu Gede Gunarta, whose Balinese heritage and international experience have shaped a distinctive culinary perspective. Together, they will present a four-hand dining experience that reflects their shared passion for storytelling through food, where soulful flavours, thoughtful craftsmanship and diverse cultural influences come together in every course.
At the heart of the experience is an exclusive six-course dinner journey that showcases the chefs’ shared passion for storytelling through food. Each course unfolds with a balance of bold flavours, refined techniques and unexpected combinations, from Wagyu beef tartare and octopus croquette to the refreshing Summer Whisper of feta, compressed tomato and strawberry consommé. Guests can then choose between Stone Axe Striploin with black garlic jus and potato espuma or 14-day dry-aged duck with romesco and za’atar spices, before ending the evening with Sazón-Misu, a contemporary interpretation of tiramisu featuring coffee, amaretto and matcha.
Complementing the experience is a sharing-style lunch menu for two that reflects Sazón’s philosophy of bringing people together through food. Designed for discovery and connection, the menu unfolds with a selection of signature bites, followed by Daily Catch Ceviche with corn cream and coconut leche de tigre. The centrepiece of the experience is Wagyu Beef Paella & Bone Marrow served with citrus salad and patatas bravas, celebrating the joy of gathering around the table. The experience concludes with Sticky Toffee Cake accompanied by pomegranate and burnt milk ice cream, offering a memorable sweet ending to the culinary journey.
More than a dining experience, Across the Table celebrates the universal language of food, where flavours travel freely, culinary traditions come together and memorable conversations unfold over exceptional cuisine.
Across the Table will be available exclusively from the 25th–27th of September 2026 at Uppercut Steakhouse, JW Marriott Surabaya. Guests may choose between a six-course dinner experience priced at Rp888,000++ per person or a sharing-style lunch experience priced at Rp688,000++ per person.
