    Good food, friendly and attentive service. It also wasn't a problem to adjust one of the dishes to non-spicy for a child. Nice seating to watch the world pass by.

    A nice place to grab some food after a long day of exploring the streets and hills of Ubud. Their menu needs a bit of a revamp, but overall, the food was quite nice. Delicious prawns and chicken satay. Lond list of different drinks, beers, and cocktails. It can get quite noisy here so be prepared for the noise level.

    Snapper cooked in curry had zero flavour and was soooo watery crazy stuff. I had some sort of rice salad veggies chickpeas it was ok. Great spot nice inside but food not great sadly I felt the curry was chucked together not slow cooked and snapper was initially raw.

    Nice place to have a drink and view people. Not for diner. There are many much better restaurants in the area. My crispy duck tasted like a skinny dry chicken. Hardly any meat on his bones and no taste at all. Would not recommend “the Duck”. My girlfriend ordered the Rendang. This meat was hard and also hardy any taste. The staff was not interested and passive. Conclusion: don’t go here.

    Located opposite a small temple and market place along the main restaurant/bar drag on Ubud. There are 2 outdoor tables on the courtyard next to a beautiful ancient doorway. There’s a chilling spot under shelter one side and the main restaurant/bar the other. It’s off a very busy road but good for people spotting. A tad noisy though but that’s Ubud. Not a bad variety of food. For Bali, this is about 6/10. I’ve eaten at places with more on the menu but there’s still a variety. The prices are very reasonable and on the cheaper side. This does not reflect the quality. The food is tasty and presentation is nice. We forgot to photograph our starter which was the spring rolls and tasty. It won’t blow you out the water but it’s not trying to be a Michelin restaurant. It’s worth a visit if you’re passing. Note: I didn’t manage to take a photo of all the pages on the menu. People started watching me so I bottled it.

    We had walked by during the day when it was full so went back for dinner. Asked for table away from smoking and we were shown seating in beautiful serene garden with water features and subtle lighting. The noise of Ubud just faded away. Absolutely delicious lemongrass and ginger drinks, so refreshing. Tamarind Chicken - very tough couldn’t eat it and NO tamarind flavour at all. The veggies and rice were steamed to perfection however unfortunately they were sitting in a flavourless broth. We have eaten tamarinds many times so know how much flavour they should have provided to this dish. The pork dish ordered was very flavourful and rich. Unfortunately the tofu soup that came with it was cold and unpleasant. Spoke to the staff who were very pleasant and appreciative of the feedback. Kudos to the staff for going above and beyond to provide friendly hospitality. Kudos to owners for providing such a gorgeous environment for guests to eat in.

    The place has nice view of the street and tourists passing by. Food was good. It’s just the cocktails that we’re not satisfied. It doesn’t taste nice, but could still improve.

    The food was really delicious here! I’ve been here 3 times at least and it’s been always great! Tom yum soup, Gado gado, tuna steak, coffee..I highly recommend you to try! The service was very attentive!

    I would not recommend to anyone. Drinks and atmosphere is great but food is bad. Don’t try the snapper cooked in curry. It was fishy. Other dishes were over-powered with excessive amount of coconut oil. Asked them to waive the cost of the entire dish but they have reluctantly waived half of the dish cost. We asked for sambal and they were also hesitant to give more.

    I don't recommend eating here. The back patio is amazingly beautiful but the food is so average it isn't worth it. We had the steak (overcooked and tough, even the french fries were soggy), the duck was OK but all the sides were meh. The beef stew was tough and had NO sides.

  • 4/5 Coco O. 10 months ago on Google
    The garden dining area at the back of the restaurant is the most beautiful oasis off the busy road. Stunning atmosphere of calm and beauty - loved it. The Indonesian food was very good!

    Food was ok, a bit pricy but that’s the location maybe. Tax and service not included.

  • 5/5 Denisa C. 1 year ago on Google
    It was really lovely. I had marinated pork with rice and some fried calamari and dessert dadar gulung which I totally recommend!!! 👌👌👌 good service & clean☺️ would eat here again

    Not a recommended place for Indians, the taste didn’t suit us at all. I would rather recommend you to have milk and bread . 1500 for food which we couldn’t finish.

  • 4/5 Martijn B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to have a good lunch. There’s some good variety in food offering (both local and international kitchen). I had a tuna steak and ginger juice. Although the salmon was clearly frozen, it did not take away from the nice seasoning and was even quite tasty in texture. They also asked to which degree you wanted it prepared (I like it medium-rare) and they deliver to this promise with precision! I was a bit worried about food poisoning (considering this is central Bali/far away from the sea) but it has been 3 days so I guess I’m safe. Moreover, I read on Google that people were complaining about unfriendly staff and long waiting times. I did not experience this so I guess it depends on when you get there. Food arrived after like 15 min and the staff was smiling and were friendly. I did read that you should avoid the duck on the menu as it’s not really good and can cause food poisoning. Regarding entourages, you can clearly see it’s a touristy place from the outside and inside. This does not take away, however, that the building is nice and well taken care off. You should, however, not sit there if you’re looking for a quieter place as there’s much traffic in front of the place (we didn’t mind as we like to see things hapen while we eat). Summary Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Entourage:8/10

  • 5/5 Sheila M. 1 year ago on Google
    We had 2 appetizers here.. Sate Lilit Ayam and Legend Crusted Tuna. They're all good. But hhe winner is the Seafood & Galangal Soup althought the picture dont do justice.

  • 4/5 Harsha K. 4 years ago on Google
    Interesting cafe with very good ambience. We ordered summer rolls/Vietnamese rolls, Indonesian veggie sambal, and desert along with lychee mint cooler, and a virgin colada. The drinks very refreshing, the rolls were fresh, and desert was delicious. The sambal was not to my liking, may be missing a sauce or gravy that could have elevated the dish as it felt dry. Overall a very nice place to explore and try local Balinese food near the water palace and Saraswati temple.

  • 4/5 Stephen P. 4 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and the food was fine. The staff were slow and just "not bothered". Possibly what happens when exposed to so many tourists but still - some places manage to hire staff that continue to be warm and friendly despite this. Go for the location and the decor, not the service. The food is alright.

    Unfortunately I had a food poisoning after the dinner (crispy duck) yesterday. I had to vomit 3 times and feel absolutely sick!

  • 4/5 Harsh V. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly and charming staff. Staff held our baby and entertained him while we ate. One of the kindest and heart felt gesture we ever received. Food is average with not many options. Can add more options.

👍 Ordinary food in a spectacular location, in the middle of rice paddy. The crispy duck is really crispy, a bit too dry. The sate lilit is delicious. The gurami goreng bit bland / tasteless. Nor the sauce / sambal nor the fish have any taste. It also would be better if they have soup in their menu to...
