Strongly recommend the 4-course Balinese "Rijstafel", a great meal for two. If you like wine, the paired wines are excellent as well - service is quick, the ambience lovely.

The courses:

Pork, Chicken and Minced Seafood sates with peanut sauce, green papaya, vegetable salad and chilli and soy sauce, paired with a nice dry white wine from South Australia.

Soup of the Day with Rwmill Gewurztraminer (German white wine from South Australia).

Besambi mebase bali (braised beef in coconut), tum bebek (steam minced duck parcels in banana leaf), be celeng base manis (pork in sweet soya sauce), kambing mekuah (Balinese lamb stew with cardamom and coriander), ikan bakar (grilled marinated fish fillet), hasil laut bumbu kuning (squid and fish fillets in yellow cocounut milk) and siap base kalas (Balinese Chicken Curry) -- paired with pepik by Joef Chromy pinot noir from Tasmania.

Dessert! Buah (Fresh Tropical Fruits), jaja kukus injin (steamed black rice with fresh coconute and palm-sugar) and kue bali (Assorted Balinese Rice Cakes) - paired with a nice riesling from South Australia
