Book NowAbout Susie’s Cafe (Local Restaurant)
Tucked off the main strip in Amed, Susie’s Cafe serves scratch-made Balinese plates against an open-air backdrop of rice paddies and Mount Agung. Diners head here for unhurried meals in a quiet bamboo pavilion, pulling up a chair for fragrant tempeh rendang, crispy duck, and steamed fish bundled in banana leaf. Beyond the everyday table service, Susie leads hands-on cooking classes where visitors pick their own menu—readily tailoring curries and sambals for vegan or gluten-free diets before sitting down to eat what they pounded and stirred.
- Personalized Cooking Classes: Susie tailors private, hands-on cooking sessions to guest preferences, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free adaptations.
- Paddy and Volcano Views: Set away from traffic in a quiet bamboo pavilion overlooking working rice fields and Mount Agung.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you take a cooking class here?
Susie offers hands-on cooking classes where you can learn traditional Balinese dishes and eat your creations afterward. Guests frequently coordinate bookings directly or via WhatsApp, and classes can also accommodate custom recipe requests, including vegetarian and vegan options.
Are vegetarian and vegan options available?
Yes, vegetarian and vegan adaptations can be arranged. Susie can adjust cooking class menus for plant-based and gluten-free diets, and the regular menu features vegetarian-friendly options such as tempeh rendang, tempeh manis, and falafels.
How long is the wait for food during peak times?
During peak dinner times when the open-air dining room is full, freshly prepared dishes can take around 40 minutes to arrive. The setting overlooks rice fields and Mount Agung, but planning extra time is recommended if you arrive during busy hours.
What should you know about getting there and back?
The restaurant is tucked away along a quiet cul-de-sac off the main road, surrounded by rice fields. Because finding a taxi nearby at night can be difficult, visitors staying farther away often recommend renting a scooter or arranging return transport ahead of time.
