The food is western style with breads, burgers and spagetti. It served hot when you start orders. Seafood is fresh, the taste is also good tho and proportion is not small. Drinks here also good. Coconut is so sweet, coffee is average. I came here for lunch, its a bit hot so sit inside. The decoration outside with trees, wooden tables and chairs are cute. It must be very chill when sitting outside at night. Maybe then time them :) The price is lil high compared to standard.
First time visit here, non-local Came here for early dinner around sunset time. This place gives a good vibe and ambience with the Balinese style renovation. I ordered the new menu: Crispy Softshell Crab Burger, which is good but somehow feels that it would be better if another sauce such as creamy buttermilk or salted egg sauce is used instead of tartar sauce for the burger. The fries are fried to perfection - Crispy and Filling! The staff served well as well. And, staying at The Palm Suite entitled me a 10% discount off from the bill
First time visit for dinner and the cafe is located just right behind the McDonald. We ordered scallop Alfredo pasta and Hawaiian chicken burger. The burger tastes delicious but I think the pasta is a bit creamy and heavy due to its carbonara sauce. We also ordered a Belgium chocolate cake which is also quite nice and not too sweet. We also get two free dessert for leaving a google review! Overall, chilled and nice dining experience!
The Palm Cafe – A Hidden Gem with Bali Vibes! Stepping into The Palm Cafe instantly gave me Bali vibes – relaxed, tropical, and cozy. The decor and ambiance are absolutely charming! Tried their food and was genuinely impressed – everything we ordered was delicious and well-presented. It’s a great spot to unwind and enjoy a good meal. The environment is lovely overall, though it did get a little noisy at times due to kids running around. But that aside, it’s still a wonderful place for dinner with friends or family. Definitely worth a visit – will be back again soon!
24 Sept. Cloudy and windy. Calm spot. Friendly crew. Nice outdoor setup. We had beef bolognese spaghetti and fries. Quite nice and good portion. Complimentary home made ice cream given. Appreciated. Nice vibe and atmosphere. Less traffic and recommended for mind healing
Delicious and big portion oriental chicken chop. Well liked by elderly. Gambas is yummy! Muscle pot is not bad too. Nice ambient and atmosphere. Sitting outside will be a good idea if the weather is not too hot.
Great food! Great atmosphere! Ample parking space, and it's pet-friendly! Will definitely come back here again. It's also very windy so you don't have to worry about it being hot or sweating. The restaurant is located behind the suites (the suites doesn't allow pets though), so just walk around the side and you'll find Palm cafe & Bistro. It isn't crowded either, at least not when we visited, so that's great!
This restaurant is an absolute gem! The environment is wonderfully cozy and incredibly relaxing, creating an atmosphere where you can truly unwind and enjoy your meal. It's the perfect setting for a leisurely and comfortable dining experience. And the food? Oh, the food is simply mouth-wateringly delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and perfectly prepared, leaving us craving more. Highly recommended!
