We visited the Kayu Manis based on the TA reviews and we were not disappointed. What a gem in the heart of Sanur off the main road! The food is absolutely fanastic, and the presentation simply beautiful. Very attentive staff, and the owner/chef checking on each and every table served himself. A real treat of amazing cuisine at very reasonable... More

My wife and I decided to have our 15th anniversary in Kayu Manis following the advice of so many happy customer of TA. I have to say that we were not disapointed. Being a cook myself, I sometimes get tired of tasteless food in the restaurant of Sanur but it was not the case is this one. We had the... More

We dined at Kayu Manis on the basis of TA reviews. I was disappointed. We shared an entree of a green papaya and prawn salad. it was beautifully plated, two prawns sat above the freshly grated and composed salad. But unlike the original, it lacked flavour- delicate yes, but no punch, bland. Then we both had pastas as our mains.... More

After many meals over many visits to Bali, this is one of the best--no question about it. Definitely THE best in Sanur. What a great place: interesting taste combinations, beautiful presentation, attentive and helpful wait staff. Plenty of vegetarian options that went beyond stir friend veggies. We discovered Kayu Manis last night, and we leave Bali tomorrow, but we're definitely... More

Had the pleasure of dining at this most wonderful restaurant tonight! The food ,service and surroundings were second to none! If this isn't on your radar while you are in Sanur....it should be! While we have eaten out every night for the 7 days we have been here this is top of the list.we will definitely return before we go... More

This was the best meal we ate in Sanur, and one of the top three we've eaten in 10 attempts on our trip so far! Not sure about the other comments re needing to book. We did and were one of only three tables served all night. A slow night perhaps! The food itself was excellent - the crab risotto... More

We found this restaurant (not a café I feel) on Trip advisor and made sure we had a booking. It is quite small and off the beaten track but as previous reviewers have said; well worth tracking down. The décor is simple but well planned with privacy between tables. The meals were delicious and all of our party of eight... More

We have been following the TA food trail and decided on this restaurant for our last night in sanur. What a wonderful meal. The three of us had the tuna, duck, and stuffed chicken and all were exceptional. This restaurant is setting a new benchmark for sanur. We are looking forward to returning!

Excellent food. Excellent service. However, limited wine/alcoholic drink list especially when compared to, say, CharMing. We had a great night. Thx Kayu Manis.

Kayu Manis is well worth trying. The menu is a pleasant 'upgrade' to most of the local warungs / restaurants in the area. IF this place was located along the main strip with other restaurants you would not get a table, luckily it is tucked away in a quiet street just a few minutes drive from the main tourist area....
