What an amazing restaurant! First, the view - Mt Agung in all it's glory. We were lucky enough to have a clear day so that we could see the entire outline of Mt Agung with fleeting clouds and with the rice paddies as a vista in the foreground. The food - scrumptious! We were served krupuk ( crackers of varied... More

It's quite hard to find this place, even for a person born in Bali like me. But once you get there you will be presented with one of the most wonderful view you can find in Bali.
