Kayu Manis

We stopped in here for dinner based on great reviews and they literally exceeded our expectations on every front. This is a 5 star gem for sure. Best place we have been in Bali and quite frankly for a very long time. The food was delightful, the service was sincere and friendly, the atmosphere was soothing and comfortable, and the prices were very reasonable given the quality. I ordered a beer and my wife ordered a mango mojito - she said it was by far the best she has had in a very long time. Then they gave us a gratis starter which was a mix of some diced veggies with pureed pumpkin and some crunchy topping - the mix of flavors and textures was great. The presentation was also very nice. Then they brought some fresh toasted bread with a garlic butter that had a flavor of cream cheese also - it was very nice. Then for an actual starter we ordered the Vietnamese spring rolls which were by far the best I have ever had and that is saying a lot as we were just in Vietnam and frequent Vietnamese restaurants. The wrapper was fresh and the mix of veggies was perfect. Then came our main course which I had the fish special (but I substituted mashed potatoes for the rice - and they were happy to do so). The fish was so fresh and cooked to perfection and the sauces and accompanying vegetables was a perfect blend of taste and texture. My wife had the duck breast with polenta. The duck was tender with a crispy skin and great sauce. The polenta was rich and creamy. Everything was spectacular. When they asked if we wanted anything else we told them no, but they brought us a wonderful little sorbet with fruit gratis. The environment in the restaurant was soothing and relaxed with a nice music playing and a beautiful environment. I am seldom astounded by the quality of a restaurant, but this place blew away my expectations in every aspect. I would HIGHLY recommend this place as the best restaurant in Bali and will most definitely be back. All I can say is WOW! Since there are several branches and not sure if the others are of this quality make sure to go to the one at Jl. Danau Tandakan No.6, Sanur.

Hidden gem! From the outside it looks like a very high class restaurant we hesitated to walk in, once we checked out the menu it’s actually very affordable. We’re just budget travellers and we enjoyed this place a lot. Ordered grilled salmon and veggie pasta and some juices, the bill is just about 25 USD, also served with complimentary starter and desserts, all in high quality. This place is 5 star from the decor to the food to the service, don’t miss it!!

We got there right at opening and were able to sit on the inside with the AC. Food was good! Presentation was on point. It even came with a before and after course!!

Visited Kayu Manis last week and it was lovely. So lovely in fact we decided to have our 40th Ruby Wedding Anniversary there. The staff were wonderful, decorating our table with lovely flowers. My wife was thrilled when they showed us to our beautiful table.
The food was wonderful as was the bottle of Savignon Blanc we chose. I will definitely be making a 3rd visit before we head back home to England.
Thank you to all the staff, you were absolutely wonderful.

Great tasting food and service. Margarita was good ! Plenty of very nice bread :) Duck salad was fun, with meat hiding under greens, like it was caught by the stick that hit over it

Delicious food, good service.

Pics of surf and turf and the chocolate gelato in a dark chocolate shell (which is hazel-nutty with peanuts).

Pretty good mojitos too.
