Lotus Cafe

Cocktails waste of money hardly tasted any alcohol, price too high for cocktails, Food was good quality, Atmosphere was great, local shows in-house but have to pay extra

The oldest café in the city. A very atmospheric and at the same time a must-see place. I recommend.

Apologies but find somewhere else. Forgot our table a few times for simple orders and then waited 45mins + for an order that wasn’t put through. That, I totally understand. How it was dealt with wasn’t good. They just didn’t care. Calamari in salad wasn’t nice, over priced and service was not well at all. We had to catch the waitresses attention a few times to follow to ask about our order or to serve us. It’s a shame as it’s gone downhill over the years while the prices when up.

Sadly this restaurant is celebrating 40years and clearly their attitude to creating an enjoyable experience hasn’t gotten any better in 40years.
We were staying with our 2 daughters in the hotel next door (same company own cafe, hotel and the Starbucks at the front of the property).
On our first night they were throwing a party to celebrate their 40th anniversary, it was for locals and suppliers and they seemed to care more about looking after them than their actual paying guests. The music was blasting so loudly that the window pane in our room was constantly rattling from the booming bass until well after midnight, despite being assured it would all be silent by 11pm.
Tonight we have gone there for dinner with our daughters and they have seated us right between two tables of smokers. When I asked to be in the non-smoking section they told me there wasn’t one and people could smoke anywhere. I questioned if they thought this was acceptable for a restaurant with children and also whilst people are trying to enjoy food and they said yes.
I appreciate that Bali is not a developed destination but in company serving food to anyone especially families and children should be more than aware in 2023 that second hand smoke does not make a meal enjoyable and is not safe for children or anyone to be breathing in.
Would never dine here again.

We came here for the birthday of my friend because we had a good day. The service was fantastic, the food was royal and the music sounded familiar. We definitely recommend this place but wish to be invited to the 50th anniversary in 2033.

Come to this place without hesitation and big hunger.

PS: Nila is the best!

Food is below average but this is prime location to see the temple. Price are overly expensive and I enjoyed watching the lotus more than fake photos in the menu. Free wifi provided without the need of password.

Lunch in a lotus garden right in front of a temple is fabulous!
The welcome was very warm and the meals very good, nothing to say apart from the 10% taxes added to the final bill!
We had lunch for 500K for 4 with drinks, it's still reasonable for the setting.

The place is very beautiful. If you want to see the show you have to pay, be careful. The show is not worth it (from my point of view). The food, leaving much to be desired.
Come on, if you don't go, you don't miss anything.

The setting is really pleasant, we eat near the water, and in the evening there is a dance show at the end of the courtyard. The Kare Ayam was very good, the tables where you sit on the floor is a very good experience. (small problem that you have to pay the same price to attend the show as those who are seated right in front because you can't see very well)

Great place with Saraswati temple on background (they called ubud water Palace) if you on lucky time you will see a great lotus flower.
They serve a local food mix with western food.
And the duck is best

Masa kecil saya dulu mandi di kolam disini.waktu itu airnya masih banyak dan mengalir Tempat ini sangat popular di jamannya sekarang bagus dikunjungi untuk santai sambil fotoan dan menikmati makanan

Nice! One of the best restaurants of Bali. At least it deserves one dinner during your stay. The local wine in the menu is acceptable.

Spectacular view over the lotus ponds to Saraswati Temple. The tofu and red bean burrito was delicious, along with a huge, fresh coconut drink. Definitely a highlight.

Nice view, regular Coffee, bad service. The view is nice and the coffee ok. We had a double espresso (a bit cold) and a cappuccino that was good. My kids had lemonade but it was not sweetened at all. Lastly, some of the staff were rude. They didn’t allow us to seat in the terrace since we were having coffee only (not eating). However, we saw three tables having coffee only after we were seated inside. We complained with one of the staff but she didn’t say a word. Avoid.

Friendly staff, great views of the temple. Especially good for watching those awful Instagram types that roll off the bus, walk 5 feet through the gate take 10 minutes stretching into unlikely positions whilst their terminally bored Partners or friends take excruciatingly posed photos for the probable future influencers army of future fans. It gets better as you see the enthusiastic influencers then convince their uninterested but loyal friends to be the subject of the pictures. It is at this point you can witness the soul depart the body.

Couldn't believe we paid $70+ on this dinner. I’m not mine to spend more money on the food but not on this low-quality meal.

Very nice place, in the city center but very quiet, good food and super atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Best place to get your sambal match fix. This spicy relish that goes well with any meat, rice or veg is made fresh daily. Had a seafood sharing platter for 2 that served up an abundant portion for lunch. Great service and prices. The restaurant overlooks the palace garden.

It wasn't packed when we were there, we asked for a table in the Balinese Style area and the waiter did not hesitate to sit us there. We enjoyed the lunch, the salmon was perfectly cooked and the view of the lotus ponds and the temple were amazing. It is not cheap but definitely worth it.

Absolutely spectacular view of the temple. The food and service are average for the area. Perfect place for afternoon tea.
