I liked their specials especially one in the pic posted. Potato wages and Nasi Goreng Good- Spacious, 2 big screens, you can ask the channel you want, service is good. If instructed they will bring your order WITHOUT MSG. Not noisy like some Australian pubs around. Lots of fans. I found it to be a Good Value.

The place is like an open space with views to the street. Kadek and Bayu, were really kind and always smiling! Breakfast was delicious and coffee as well :)

Rice Paddy Cafe is a hidden gem offering authentic Indonesian dishes with excellent service. The Beef Rendang is a must-try—tender beef cooked in a rich, flavorful coconut sauce, easily one of the best rendangs in Bali. The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Rice Paddy Burger was huge, Big Bena Burger humongous and Baby Pork Ribs delicious too. Great value and great tasting. Try the 99k special also, bintang, garlic bread or wedges, and a main meal, choose from nasi goreng, mie Goreng, cap cay, sweet n sour chicken

Good Coffee Good Juice NOT a hidden gem. Its ok. An average bar/cafe on a side alley. Unfortunately its situated on a shortcut for motorcycles, and the sound reverberates of the concrete walls, making the cafe extremely loud . So no good for working/studying. Staff are lovely.

Delicious food! Staff are absolutely amazing and made it their mission to learn all our names and greet us with open arms every time we dined or walked past to go shopping! The best strawberry daiquiris too!!!!!!!
