Posted by admin on Aug 27, 2007
Food: International - Price: very cheap
After you leave the sea level road that winds south from Amed, you begin top climb a steep mountain. The road hugs the cliff face, ever rising above the sea below. You eventually arrive at the Hotel Indra Udhyana, virtually perched on the edge of time. A stroll through the gardens takes you to the Bogaraja restaurant, where you can sit and gaze at a sea that appears to stretch across the world. Read the rest of this entry »
Cafe Teras: A Country Cottage!
Posted by admin on Aug 24, 2007
Food: Japanese - Price: moderate
It is not what you expect to find in Bali; a perfect country cottage. Even with immaculate gardens and white picket fences. Furthermore it is actually a restaurant, the downstairs part anyway. Eat on the garden terrace or inside in the air-conditioned colonial-style rooms. Café Teras is a Japanese restaurant, and is run by the wife of the Japanese golf professional at the nearby Golf Club [with the Peter Thompson designed Handara Kosaido golf course]. It makes a very pleasant stopping point half way between Lovina and the South, or a worthy target on that day trip to the beautiful Bedugul. Read the rest of this entry »

Food: SE Asia - Price: cheap
One of the initial oddities the first time tourist to Bali always notices, with amazement, are the constant signs advertising ‘antiques made to order’. Well this new antique is in fact a restaurant. The décor and furniture are mostly made from artistic forms of wrought iron, but I would hardly call them antique! Yet another new restaurant is to be found in Jl. Abimanyu, Seminyak. Three previous tenants of the same arcade strip have already closed their doors within twelve months of opening, yet Q Bar and Antique seem to be thriving. Read the rest of this entry »
Pergola: Where is the Pergola?

Food: International - Price: moderate
Pergola, a covered walk or arbour formed of climbing plants over trellis-work? Well, I guess the green veranda almost suffices. Whilst evening dining is what has recently made Pergola one of Sanur?s more popular restaurants, their lunch is quite a surprise! Two courses for only Rp.50,000 in smart air-conditioned premises, is a pleasant way to while away an hour, or two. Read the rest of this entry »
