Jasmine Kitchen — Restaurant in Pulau Bali

We were recommended to come here by a friend and whilst Lovina has lots of restaurants this one sprung out as much classier than many of the others. It’s a strange place as it’s not on one of the two main roads but just slightly hidden back but if you ask any taxi driver and he will know exactly where to take you. Jasmine kitchen is a Thai restaurant and the décor is simple but elegant, they even had the low Thai tables with cushions for you to enjoy, not for anyone with dodgy knees though.

I had some chang mai to start which are leaves filled with peanuts, chilli, lime and chicken and wrapped up. It was very tasty and fresh but not exactly the most rock and roll starter but once that course was out of the way then Jasmine kitchen really started to rock.

There are lots of traditional Thai foods on the menu such as Pad Thai, Green curry, Red curry and all of these were good according to my friends but I opted for the aromatic red duck curry with pineapple and sticky rice. One word can only describe this dish, scintillating. It was so good that I went back another day to have exactly the same main menu.

Now as I was pretty full having a starter and main and couldn’t manage eating a dessert to myself but watched my friend eating chocolate fondants, banoffee pie, coconut and lemongrass ice cream and so when we went back again later that week I made sure I had the chocolate fondant with an extra scoop of ice cream. I’m not the biggest fan of Asian desserts and luckily I think they recognise and supply everyone with more common deserts. Since this is not traditional you wouldn’t be wrong to assume the dessert would be unpleasant but I have to say it was absolutely amazing, first class and once again I would highly recommend it.

The prices here aren’t the cheapest and some of the mains are around 70,000 rupiah and desserts around 40,000 rupiah but it was worth every penny and will leave you wanting more, I guarantee it.

This is my favourite restaurant in Bali and represents good value for money; I couldn’t recommend it any...

Beautiful place with a choice of traditional Thai floor seating or standard tables and chairs. The service was ok, one of the servers was on a phone call whilst trying to seat us but the waitress who was assigned to our table was lovely and warmed to us throughout the meal. The vegetable spring rolls were amazing, so tasty and fresh. I ordered the rice served in the pineapple and soy sauce tofu which was tasty but I was hoping for spicier! I think typically tourists might not like the normal spice so perhaps many restaurants tone it down. If you’re planning on going and want spicy, i would recommend asking. My partner had the potato and peanut curry which was beautiful, again it could have been spicier. The beer was a good price but the other drinks were a bit pricier than say a typical bar however the portions are a lot bigger here. Would...

Charming little Restaurant in a quiet road in Lovina. Nicely decorated with a beautiful balcony. We ordered three dishes (pad Thai, chicken with coriander and eggplant). The Pad Thai tasted like ketchup. The other two dishes were delicious especially the chicken. The prices are higher than the other restaurants around but for the food I would come back. However, I did not like the service there. The girls were bored and playing with their mobile phones all the time. We had to get up twice and went over to them because they were occupied by their mobile phones. No excuse or a smile. Once I got the impression that one girl took a picture of us and the other guests. For me this is a total no go. Definitely the worst service in Bali. However, we had a beer that tasted wrong and we get an new one very quick without further discussion. This...
