Cosa Nostra - Restaurant Review

A fantastic restaurant within walking distance of both Breezes and Pelangi is Cosa Nostra.
Specialising in yummy Italian food, this restaurant is family friendly, cheap and delicious!

Food: Delicious Italian food, Pizza, pasta, salads and plenty of it! For a full menu click here.

Price: Cheerfully cheap! Average meal price is $6-$8. That's a main size pizza or pasta for $8 maximum! Sweet! Bintang's are also well priced.

Location: Couldn't get much better, a short stroll up Dyhana Pura, just up the road from Breezes.

Ambiance: Easy, casual dining. Great for families, couples or groups. Sit at the bar at their unique bar stools or pick a table out the front and watch the world go by.

Tips: No tips needed for this place. It's great for lunch or dinner so the main tip is just make sure you get there!

Potato Head Beach Club - Review


PHBC From outside looking in.
 A little further afield than the old favourites, the Potato Head Beach Club has one of the best names we've come across in a while, as well as an amazing atmosphere.
Location - Located closer to the trendy new suburbs of Petitenget and Canggu this unique club is hidden down a long lane off the main road.

Ambience - Part Beach club, part restaurant, part nightclub, it's hard to really define what the club is. You can go there for a fabulous meal with amazing cocktails and some of the best non-alcoholic options around. You can take your beach bag and laze the day away on the double day beds right next to the pool. Or you can get your party on here pretty much all night long.

View of the pool and day beds
It's a cool place without being pretentious, a pleasant change from some of the more well known establishments. On some days it can be crazy busy and yet on others there are plenty of beds to go around. Your best bet is to head there from 11am onwards if you're thinking about spending quality time. If you're after a change of scenery from your hotel pool then this has to be stop number one!

Price - This is again on the higher side of Bali, however the facilities and quality of the food and beverages is worthwhile. See you there soon.

La Lucciola - Restaurant Review

Walking distance along the beach from both the Pelangi and Breezes, La Lucciola is a Bali institution that has served some of the best food on the island for years. Perfect location for breakfast, lunch or dinner, this is one of the more special places to spend your time. 
  • Location - right on Seminyak beach, walk in the opposite direction to Kuta and you can't miss it! 
  • Ambience - Amazing! Green gass, perfect palm trees and by night lanterns and soft lighting. The Frangipani bar is a great place to sit and wait for your table. The entrance from the carpark is worth a mention.  
  • Food - Beautiful. So many options, very filling, great sides. Modern, mediterranean cuisine. The weekend breakfast is different from during the week and well worth a try.
  • Drinks - Try the passionfruit caprihini! Aussie wines (although you'll pay for it) and anything else you'd want.
  • Price - Definitely in the higher price bracket for Bali. But having said that, you will eat and drink like a King, be waited on patiently and have an unfortgettable night for $50 to $100 per couple.
  • Tips - If arriving by car you'll need to pay a small amount of money ($2) to get into the carpark as the restaurant shares its land with a local temple. Also, there are no fans so still, hot nights can be a little uncomfortable.
A beautiful restaurant that you must try while you're on the island. Also a very special place for us, this is where we got engaged!
