Bali Asli is the most beautiful dining experience we have had so far in Bali. The setting is so peaceful, overlooking the rice paddies and mountains and the food and service make for a memorable time. We found the place easily, as there is good signage along the way, and were greeted by friendly, professional and hospitable staff. The design... More

Yes the food is superb but the view - aah the view! It is (almost) enough to take your mind off the fantastic presentation of authentic Balinese cuisine.

我是台灣一本巴里島旅遊書的作者,能夠造訪Bali Asli讓我覺得非常值回票價。 這是一家非常特別的餐廳,餐廳整個座落面對阿貢火山,一眼望去是一整個山谷的稻田景觀,我只能用『壯觀與感動』來形容我所看到的美景,令人歎為觀止....無法言語。 我參加了烹飪課程,來自澳洲的主廚兼老闆Penny(Penelope Williams)用她極其親切的身段,從傳統市場開始,到令人經驗的巴里島香料製作、巴里島菜的烹調,一部一部細心講解,沒有冷場,整個過程彷彿上了一堂巴里島的美食饗宴,我也從中了解到了許多常吃的巴里島菜背後的來源以及作法。 餐廳的服務親切,每天更換不同的菜單,非常令人讚嘆。 我要極力推薦,因為這是一個值得你從南部的庫塔、金巴蘭地區花2個小時驅車前來的地方。 I am a Bali guide book writer from Taiwan. For the AMEZING view in front of the restaurant, it worths you take 2 hours drive from the south area of Bali. I was joined the cooking class with an American couple with their lovely daughter. Penny was so nice and friendly from the... More

My husband and I spent a month in Thailand, Bali and Gili Air. First time in Southeast Asia for us. We booked our second week at Aquaira in Candidasa (another amazing place) for a week of diving.

This part of bali is very easily reached and well worth a number of days. We went to lunch here and were picked up for free by the restaraunt. Easy. The love invested in this extraordinary establishment is clear from the moment you walk thru the door. The beautiful structure has the most jaw dropping, magical view of the sacred... More

We arrived there after a walk that took us the water palace of Tirtagangga and we were astonished by the view from there. A very unique food experience and a lovely staff and manager/owner. Would rate it as a bit expensive for now (only opened 8 months ago) but definetely worth it if you want to both enjoy a traditional... More

Superlatives flow when sitting in this amazing restaurant run by the clever and charming Penny Williams. If you need a break take a drive to Gemumpang Village and enjoy cocktails with the local spirit and genuine local food. I did not have time for the cooking class but I will for sure next time!!

If Tripadvisor allowed for more than a 5-star review, Bali Asli certainly deserves that rating. Executive Chef Penny Williams offers an exquisite view into the traditions and cuisine of Bali, by way of an intimate classroom setting in the hills below the auspicious Mt Agung. Ms Williams is a gracious, knowledgable host, weaving Balinese history and Hindu traditions throughout her... More

I have done a number of cooking classes across South East Asia and none compare to Bali Asli. This is a learning experience, where students get to interact and understand the ingredients before the actual cooking. Penny's knowledge of traditional Balinese recipes and ingredients is extensive and she is very patient as she facilitates the learning of her students. The... More
