The chefs at the culinary helms of the four Alila Resort and Villa properties in Bali will converge at Alila Villas Soori's Coast Restaurant to present not-to-be-missed special Chefs' Dinner on Saturday, April 30, 2011.

Alila Ubud, Chef Nyoman Santika of
Alila Manggis, Chef Ashton Hall from the host venue of
