Plantation Restaurant — Restaurant in Bali

We ate here twice during our stay and found the entire experience to be thoroughly enjoyable and delicious. The first evening we had the Royal Rijsttafel, and the following night we partook in the Music Brews and BBQ event. The former gave us a very special dining experience with many small traditional dishes to taste paired with rice. At the end of the meal they even brought out two glasses of rose and two small chocolate cakes to celebrate our honeymoon! The BBQ event was a blast - they had live musicians performing guitar/saxophone covers all night long, and a set menu which included buffet-style BBQ options including lobster, squid, and ribs. Super delicious! Service was impeccable both evenings, with the staff even offering to take our photos for us when the food arrived.

Would highly recommend the fun events/meals that Alila Ubud organizes at Plantation. As we were checking out, we spotted a sign for a 4-course dinner menu accompanied by a traditional lion dance and live Balinese music. Reservations recommended as these can fill up quickly. With the location of the hotel being so remote, Alila does a great job of programming fun meals that don't make you feel like you're missing out by not...

The service was good, but we were a bit overwhelmed by the amount of attention. The location was very well looked after. On the other hand, we had to notice that the food was not at all up to the prices: the appearance and the tastes were okay, but not enough for the price level. We paid around 50 USD per person, for a menu that we expected to consist of several courses, but we got an appetiser, a platter to share and an average dessert. The price was grossly disproportionate for the place and type of food: in Italy you can have excellent complete menus for 40 USD and superior quality and here we are in a country where you can find fried bananas (even better ones) for less than a dollar in warungs. I would probably pay the same price for the same quality only in...

I wonder how this restaurant was in the past as several reviews put it in the same category with amazing restaurants like Nusantara. I stayed at Alila Ubud for a few days, so had breakfast every morning here (very good) and dinner one evening. The dinner was decent, but not worth going out of the way to get here if not staying...
