Step off Poppies Lane II and directly into a quiet Balinese garden oasis where carp and turtles drift past your table. Longtime regulars treat this leafy compound like a second home, lingering over generously portioned seafood platters, fresh satay skewers, and icy banana cocktails. Balinese spice pastes anchor the kitchen—and for those keen to learn the technique without traveling to Ubud, the restaurant hosts hands-on morning classes where chefs guide guests through traditional dishes, ending with a shared feast in the courtyard pavilion.
- Water Garden Setting: Tables sit directly beside peaceful water gardens and ponds teeming with live carp, fish, and turtles.
- Hands-On Cooking Classes: In-house chefs lead intimate classes covering traditional Balinese recipes, followed by a multi-course sit-down meal.
- Generous Feasts & Local Flavors: Diners highlight hearty shared seafood platters alongside tropical cocktails and classic grilled satay.
