Bumbu Bali Restaurant

Although it is voted best restaurant in Bali and reputed with a Balinese cooking school, I think this restaurant is definitely over-rated. The ambience of the restaurant is typically Balinese. The food is traditional Balinese style but somehow I think the Balinese restaurants in Malaysia tasted even better and with lower price! The set dinner(BALINESE RIJSTTAFEL Rp185,000) offers a huge variety, with three appetizers, one soup, seven dishes with rice, and four types of desserts. It is enough for two moderate eaters. Bumbu Bali scored in terms of variety, but not taste, service, nor value-for-money. If given a choice, I would rather eat in a cheap 'warung' for authentic Balinese cuisine.
