On March 7th at 6PM, the island’s culinary elite will gather with Bali’s food and charity loving public for one of the most anticipated food events of the year: the Hemingway Chef Cookoff 2026.
Every year this legendary culinary showdown brings together Indonesia’s top chefs for a live, high-intensity battle where creativity, precision, and passion collide on stage. In a masterchef-style format, chefs will go head-to-head in front of a live audience, crafting bold dishes under pressure while guests witness every moment of the action.
Expect fire. Expect flavour. Expect fierce competition.
But this is more than just a spectacular night of gastronomy.
The Hemingway Chef Cookoff is proudly presented in support of Right Reasons Funding, the philanthropic force behind impactful initiatives across Indonesia — including professional mental health services, education programs for young women, school-building projects, and community outreach efforts that change lives. The event also supports Bali Bersama Bisa, a non-profit offering free mental health services in Bali.
Every ticket purchased directly contributes to meaningful, measurable impact.
