El Kabron — Restaurant in Kuta Selatan

El Kabron offers one of the most picturesque settings in Uluwatu, perched on a cliff with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. The venue is visually stunning, particularly during sunset, and the overall design and ambiance are clearly curated to deliver a premium beach club experience.

Unfortunately, we were supposed to arrive at 6pm for sunset but unexpectedly got stuck in a massive 3 hours traffic jam. By the time we got there it was already 830pm and we missed the sunset. Due to the fact that we had paid a deposit of Rp600,000, we decided to go ahead with our plans.

However, while the location is undeniably impressive, the overall experience fell short in several areas.

The menu, focused on Mediterranean and Spanish-inspired cuisine. We ordered their fresh oysters, prawns cocktail, clams cooked in wine and grilled prawns which were beautifully presented but tasted just okay. Nothing special. We also ordered the classic mojito and it tasted like soda water with ice.

Service was courteous but inconsistent—some staff were attentive and engaging, while others seemed preoccupied or unresponsive, which detracted from the premium experience being offered.

It’s important to note that there is a minimum spend depending on the area reserved, ranging from moderate to quite high. Ours was Rp2,000.000. While this is understandable for a venue of this nature, the value delivered does not always align with the cost.

On a Monday night, it was almost empty with only 2-3 tables occupied, including our table. The pool area also had only 2-4 guests, with the DJ playing at the back.

El Kabron Bali excels in atmosphere and setting but falls short on consistency in service and culinary execution. It’s a worthwhile visit for the view and ambiance, but those seeking a refined dining experience may find better value...

If you’re looking for a place in Bali that combines overpriced drinks with a spectacular sunset and an even more pretentious vibe, look no further than El Kabron!

Upon arrival, we were greeted not with warmth but with the news of minimum spend requirements that felt more like a ransom note than a welcome. Apparently, they have tiers of seating based on how much you’re willing to shell out—because nothing says “relaxing vacation” like being financially bullied.

We settled into our table, which was apparently designed by a committee of giraffes and circus clowns, and found ourselves squished in front of a booth that looked like it survived a 1990s rave gone wrong. The view was indeed stunning, making it almost worth the discomfort. Almost.

After a brief moment of trying to enjoy the ambiance—though “ambiance” is a generous term when the music sounded like a blender malfunctioning at a karaoke night—we decided to stretch our legs and take some photos. That’s when we encountered the staff member who must have graduated from the “How to Be Rude 101” course. “Are you done taking pictures?” they asked, as if we were occupying prime real estate and not just trying to capture the sunset. Flabbergasted, we replied, “What?!”

Their response? “Because you’re blocking the view.” Ah, yes, the exclusive view that we somehow thought was a public sunset! With that, we decided to cut our losses. We didn’t even order drinks—thankfully—before making our escape.

So, if you have a taste for extravagant nonsense and enjoy the company of surgically enhanced party-goers dancing to music that could only be described as an auditory disaster, El Kabron is your spot! Just make sure to bring your wallet and your sense of humor. As for us, we’ll take our...
