Chez Gado Gado

During our recent holiday in Seminyak, my partner and I went to ‘Chez Gado Gado’ a few times, sometimes with bookings and others just walking in, and every time, the manager tried his best to accommodate us at a nice table. Bookings at sunset times would be necessary though due to high demand.

On our last night in Bali, we stopped by for an after-dinner drink. It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was full. When the manager saw us, he recognised us and wanted us to stay as we were unsure how long it will take to get a table and was thinking of regrettably not waiting and leaving. We told him we only had half an hour before we have to head back to our hotel. He promised he will find us a table and will rush our order at the bar. In no time, we were happily sipping on our cocktails, which to our surprise, came out as complimentary as a token of his appreciation for our patronage!

All the staff are always friendly, attentive, helpful and not rushy and it looks obvious that they have been trained to provide a high standard of customer service. Even on busy nights, service was always efficient and servers look chilled and relaxed and not over-stressed. The DJ and live band and performance all add to the happy vibes and chilled atmosphere.

Not only did we keep going back to Gado Gado because of the good vibes, but also we wanted to explore more of the mouth-watering food that is to really die for and the extensive selection of cocktails, all very aesthetically crafted and reasonably priced. Both food and drink menus were so varied that they would easily cater for various occasions, dining times and tastes. We could not possibly order all the food that we wanted to sample in one sitting, so we kept going back again and again.

Did I mention about the picture-perfect sunset and ocean view right in front of the restaurant? It would easily have to be one of, if not THE best location in Seminyak, to sip on a chilled cocktail while watching the sun slowly kissing the horizon. Nothing beats that moment when the sun puts on a magical show and paints the sky in all shades of pink, orange and golden while you forget all the cares and worries of everyday life for an instant. We had so many memorable moments spent there, which we will cherish for a very long time, thanks to Gado Gado.

‘Chez Gado Gado’ has delivered massively on so many different levels on each and every visit and we have felt welcomed and special on every occasion. A truly enjoyable restaurant/bar experience, where you are treated not as strangers, but more like friends and family. Keep up the good job and congratulations 'Gado Gado' team!

Life is short. Do yourself a favor and go and watch a sunset at ‘Chez Gado Gado’ if you are in Seminyak or Bali.
