No doubt one of the best restaurants the island has to offer! Exquisite meals, impeccable service, memorable dining experience. We all loved the Bali Breakfast dessert (the egg one) - it was delicious! Booked through Pelago - easy check-in and even managed to request a good table inside! Definitely will come back
Highly recommended! We enjoyed the food and the experience a lot, will definitely visit again. P/s: if you go back to the restaurant for the 2nd time you won't get served the same menu as your first visit! We find this arrangement super thoughtful :)
Highly recommended activity if you are in Bali! Suitable for both couple and group/family. Beautiful restaurant with cozy vibes. Each dish has its own unique story & concept. We love that the chef/owner actually came to greet every table and explained the dish and why the name “cuca”. Overall very intimate dining experience & value for money (you wont get this price in SG)! The chef tasting menu is very filling and the portion is surprisingly generous! Thanks to pelago i got the 10% promo too!
A wonderful gastronomic experience!! It was my birthday and as a solo traveller, I wanted to have a meal to celebrate. I came across the restaurant on Pelago. Seeing that they had vegetarian options for a vegetarian like me, I booked a table (outdoor). Unluckily for me, it rained that day and they had moved the seating to indoors which was right next to the kitchen where we could see the chefs in action. Regarding the 6 course meal, I really have no words to say. It was a fantastic meal with each course being prepared freshly and the waiters explaining what was inside each of the dish. Since I do not eat egg & mushrooms, two of the dishes were substituted specially for me. I loved each of the dishes which was a treat to the senses (both in terms of display and the taste). Recommend this restaurant to all who are foodies and looking for an amazing meal!!
Had a wonderful gastronomic experience with surprises in every dish. And each of us received a gift. Mine was artisanal salt for veggies. Awesome!
Excellent service. Food was amazing. Will come back again when I visit Bali next time
