Eating it out @ Bali

Location: Bali, Indonesia

We visited Bali this September and I have to say the trip was great. We had good fun and it was a nice break from routine. The trip was of course highlighted with some great eating joints we tried. And yes, there WAS mouthwatering vegetarian available.
  Here are three places I most enjoyed:

The Earth Cafe
The Earth Café:  This one is located in Seminyak and serves only vegetarian food. The menu is also complimented with super healthy drinks; classified as tonics, antioxidants, energy boosters etc.. The place is cheerful and has this earthy rustic feel, thus justifying its name. Several foreigners throng the place indicating a growing consciousness and preference towards vegetarianism. We went here twice and tried several items from their menu. Falafel with hummus was brilliant. Planet Platter was just okay but the stir crazy noodles was great. Black beans burrito was decent and their Spaghetti with some kind of vegetable balls was really good! And I loved their drink called ‘bali boost’. A must try if you fall in the vegetarian/health-conscious category. Service is good but you might have to wait just a little while before the food arrives at your table. Read reviews here.

Mykonos: This one serves Greek cuisine. Yes Greek and we managed to find decent veg options yet again. The ambience was pleasant and the service was very quick. Prices were low-average. We enjoyed here in their open air seating. Read reviews here.

Sasa’Ristorante: We were famished and decided to give sasa a try. The façade looked inviting and we chose a corner table for two all set to enjoy our meal. While the food was great, the service was pathetic. It was extremely slow and the waiter failed to take our order correctly. However, I will give 5 stars to the food. The garlic bread was awesome. We tried the basic Margherita with extra mushroom and it was simply awesome! We had to cancel our order for the remaining dish we had ordered as it was taking them forever to get it. Had it not been for the bad service this could have been a great experience. Read reviews here.

I hope this was helpful for people planning to visit Bali sometime soon (esp. veg folks). If you have been to some good food joints in Bali, I’d love to hear from you. With numerous places to try, this is what I had for now. Cheers!
