Restaurants
A lot of these restaurants we've visited a few times and due to their being 4 of us (2 adults, 2 kids) we tried a little of each others, so have had a good sample of the menu.
Mozzarella
Great Prices, Very comfortable lounge setting, excellent service, limited menu but enough for most tastes. Central location next door to Indonational. Above average food. Have had: Chicken Sate (Not good, tasted like chicken a la peanut butter), Smoked Mahi Mahi (Bali salmon) with hollandaise (Amazing), Steak Sandwich (Very good, fresh salad and warm bread), Chicken Drummies (Very nice, proper chicken), Roast Chicken with Gravy and Vegies (Amazing), BBQ Ribs (Brilliant), definitely a place for dinner, lunch is OK though, no air con but not hot due to roof and design, plenty of fans. 7.5/10
Ultimo
Can't say enough good things about this place, without a doubt my favorite restaurant in the world, if I had to have a last meal, it'd be here. The combination of amazing yet unobtrusive service, beautiful setting, awesome food and unbelievable prices. I haven't tried many things as I have a favorite and settled on it. Duck Ravioli is great, Spag Bol is a favorite of my daughter, Porterhouse Steak with Red Wine Jus is incredible (served with potato puree and fresh vegies) , Prawn Cocktail is excellent although 2 prawns cut in half (i.e.: 4 filets) is not enough, Bruschetta is excellent, the crème brulee is to die for and the garlic butter that comes with the bread as a starter is brilliant.
Ask for seat out the back in the garden, although it may be hot out the front, they have giant fans hanging from the roof and it's very comfortable out the back. 10/10
Zanzibar
Visited here for breakfast only, great service. Lovely view and free Wireless. Eggs Benedict was delicious, Pancakes very good and Fresh Juice. Very good value for money. 7/10
Indonational
I'll probably get flamed for this, and that's ok cus I don't think what I say is unfair. This place is over rated and I was disappointed. Australian Owners are lovely and very accommodating, great place for kids (They have drawing and little toys), very central location and massive menu, maybe too many options? What let it down though was the food, My wife ordered Chicken Kiev which came out raw and was then refired and became over cooked. I had barramundi which was dry and had poor texture. Drinks (Lemon, Lime & Bitters with Midori) were ridiculously over priced but a good mix. Over all, expensive for Bowling Club style food. 3.5/10
Bali Rock
Good value lunch but nothing to write home about. Wedges, Chips & Nachos to share, food was OK but the aircon was working which made it very uncomfortable which effected how we enjoyed the food. Staff were also overbearing. Drinks were excellent. This used to be a favorite of ours and we'll probably return to give it another go. 4.5/10
Ku De Ta
Amazing setting and definitely a must do for Sunday Breakfast. Food was excellent, probably the best breakfast I've had in Bali - ever. Service was good but for the price I expected better, the 4 of us for breakfast and I didn't get change out of 600,000rp. Eggs Benedict was brilliant, Scones were a little dry, Kids breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage, toast and baked beans was delicious. Juices were freshly prepared and very tasty. Coffee was good although have had better at Ultimo. The only let down was the service, not as attentive as I would have liked. But combination of the view, atmosphere, food and uber cool factor makes it a winner for me, will definitely return, and when I win lotto, for dinner also. 8/10
Feyloon
Bali's best Dim Sum without question, have tried the one at the top of Bali Galleria and also the Dynasty and neither impressed, found Feyloon by chance driving past one day. Central to Kuta and great prices and tidy restaurant. Great Dim Sum, very authentic and good service. Prawn Rice Flour Rolls, Sticky Rice & Prawn Dumpling the pick of the bunch. 7.5/10
Fortune Cookie
Probably the best find of our trip. On a back street of Sanur and not really close to anything, they use all fresh organic ingredients, no MSG, no added anything nasty and just great value fresh Chinese food. Orange Chicken, Mongolian Beef and Fried rice were all awesome. Garlic Prawns were disappointing. Very Small restaurant however we were the only ones there although they seem to do a very good takeaway trade. Please visit this place, you won't regret it. (NB only place so far not to have baby chair) 8/10
Cinta Grill and Inn (Ubud)
Worst food of our trip which didn't surprise me, I've never had a good meal in Ubud. Lovely setting on Monkey Forrest Road and good service however meals took an eternity to come out, BBQ Ribs were inedible and the Cap Cay Chicken was good but had better. Garlic Bread was dry and over all expensive also. If I can't say anything good, I won't say much at all, so not much I am saying 1/10. (1 because I didn't get sick)
Sandrino Pizza
A real surprise, out the front of the Lokha hotel on JL Padma, great pizzas, lovely service and reasonably good live music. Would be nice if they did proper ham and not "Chicken Ham" but it still tasted fine. Lovely pizza sauce and good value. 7/10
TJ's Mexican
Good Mexican feed considering how far away from Mexico you are! Taco's been a bit weird but was definitely made up for by the corn chips and dip and Fajitas. Lovely setting with running water and great service, good location (poppies 1) and not ridiculously priced either. Definitely will return, 7/10
Oceans 27
Very nice setting right on Kuta Beach and within the discovery plaza so great convenient location, tables in the middle of the restaurant are set in a shallow pool so you dangle your feet in the water as your dining, quite a nice novelty. Food was better than most but not mind blowing, Tandoori Chicken was excellent, Pizza was tasty and had proper ham, Mashed Potato was nice and Chicken Nuggets for kids made with proper chicken (White meat, not brown). Service was a little slow but still good. Over all, a surprise as we had gone here out of convenience as the kids were being a little touchy and we just wanted something close to where we were shopping. Great lighting effects and setting make for a lovely atmosphere - would be excellent for a large group. Will definitely return 7.5/10
Waterbom
Good value compared to theme park pricing around the rest of the world, reasonable food although sitting outside is ridiculously hot! Pizza was lovely, drinks were cold and plenty of staff to ensure food comes out fast. Wouldn't hesitate eating here next time we visit waterbom 6.5/10
