Suburbia Cafe — Restaurant in Kuta Selatan

We came here for dinner based on the positive reviews on Google, but unfortunately, the experience was far from what we expected.

First, we ordered the tartare and some mains, but the food took a very long time to arrive, even though we were the only guests ordering at the time, and the restaurant was otherwise empty.

Second, when the food finally arrived, the pork was extremely tough and the octopus was chewy, not at all what we had hoped for.

Third, during our meal, a street dog came up to our table. While we are not against animals, it felt inappropriate and uncomfortable to dine with a stray dog beside us. We politely asked the staff for help, but they did nothing.

Finally, we left feeling very disappointed. To make matters worse, none of the staff even said a simple “thank you for coming” or “sorry for the inconvenience.”

As a fellow hotelier working in the same industry, it’s disheartening to see such poor hospitality, especially when it feels like we were treated differently just because we are Balinese locals and not foreign tourists. It’s truly disappointing and felt...

As a devoted brunch enthusiast, I genuinely enjoyed my visit to this place.

While there are countless brunch cafés in the area offering similar menus, this spot stands out with its unique twist—particularly in the way it incorporates subtle variations in sauces, giving familiar dishes a refreshing and uncommon flair.

I tried the Chorizo Meltdown and the Rustic Morning. Overall, the dishes were enjoyable, though I do have a few points of feedback: The bread and croissant were noticeably too chewy, making them difficult to cut. A croissant, in particular, should have that signature flaky crunch—but unfortunately, this one missed the mark. The coffee was pleasant, though on the weaker side; it tasted slightly watered down and lacked the boldness I typically look for. The presence of numerous flies and mosquitoes, even during brunch hours. Personally, I find it quite difficult to fully enjoy a meal when constantly distracted by flies flying...

A very strange place. The food is supposed to be Indonesian, but it can hardly be called that the taste is really lacking. The only thing that was more or less okay was the smoothie bowl. Drinks were terrible: the coffee was awful, and the juices were extremely watered down. We also ordered crème brûlée, and it turned out to be something completely different from what was written on the menu presented nicely in words, but in reality it was poorly made and very disappointing.

On top of that, the location is right next to the road: it’s very noisy, and dust constantly comes in since everything is open. The design of the place itself is fine, but this major downside ruins the overall experience. It’s hard to understand why there are so many positive reviews here most likely they are fake. I will definitely...
