Gourmand Deli — Restaurant in Kuta Selatan

We went there for lunch. The setting and atmosphere is nice and looks very clean, almost like you are not in dirty Bali anymore. We ordered margerita pizza (idr240) and foie gras (idr300). Foie gras was an appetizer, so expected to be small portion but this was nano portion, around 50gr of foie gras and some apple and hazelnut around it. No cracker was served with and the foie gras was cooked ok but not seared on both sides, I wish it was. Anyways, overpriced. In Europe we have this dish 3 times bigger for same price. The second dish was pizza margherita, this from my oppinion was an insult to the Italian cuisine. That was not a pizza, just a very thin cracker with lots of cheap melted cheese on top, that cheese was not mozarella or didn't tasted as good as mozarella. We couldn't finish it and again, overpriced. I was ok to pay the price but for a good product, not for that..I don't know how to call it...melted messy cracker. And, on top of that, food came more than 30min after we ordered, the restaurant having only 2-3 customers. 30min wait for foie gras which takes 5min to cook and plate and 10min for a cracker to bake as pizza is really not acceptable. The service was nice but no need to return for that, the food was under standards. Sorry for you, guys but we paid more than idr600 and we felt ripped off and left hungry and with bad taste on...

We had a good lunch here today, my husband loves the lontong sayur which is on the chef’s special. Wait staff were very welcoming. One of the waiters who took our order, Sudana, was very patient explaining potential allergens as my son has a peanut allergy, warning us about food that we should not share with him. By the time we had dessert, I was careless and did not tell the ice cream bar waiter about his peanut allergy. Luckily Sudana noticed that my son has ordered his sorbet in a cone and warned us in time that it contained nuts. We are very grateful for his attentiveness, potentially saving my son’s life. I was able to then enjoy the hazelnut chocolate mousse cake...

We waited for 30 minutes (!) for the chef to sear a foie gras and I couldn’t eat it because I didn’t like it.

The pizza dough was more like a crispy biscuit than a normal dough. I think the chef needs to start using sourdough, like the Italians restaurants do.

All in all, the bill was as for a posh experience but the quality of the food was below...
