Melali Ubud — Restaurant in Pulau Bali

Delicious food every time. Beautiful interior and light music.

Service may be better. They don't bring you water while you wait for your order, although you are allowed one glass for free if you ask. And it looks like they give you water unwillingly, sometimes pointing out that only one glass is free. Well, you can tell this if I ask for the second glass, right?

Also, once I came alone to almost empty cafe on a daytime and got a question: for how many person? Again, this question may be meaningful when the cafe is at least half-full. Otherwise, it feels like I look like I need assistance in choosing my favourite place. 🤔

Also, for 2 different dishes (egg rosti and sweet waffles), I was served only one set of cutlery.

Great coffee. Although cappuccino is served with no accompanied sugar by default. And you aren't asked before if you would like sugar or not.

Thus, you may need to make extra efforts to get what should be served by default.

Another thing that may bother people is that in order to connect to WiFi, you need to do it manually every time entering rather long password. And you get automatically disconnected about every 30 minutes or so. Amusing customer service during the...

Awful experience, they’ve ruined our morning. We came for breakfast and I wanted to order avocado toast. They said they did not have avocado and I should choose something else. But almost all their breakfast menu had avocado in it. And I did not like anything. So I spent some time and chose some pizza after long thinking. And they said that i could choose only from breakfast menu. They could have warned me beforehand that they did not have avocado or anything apart from breakfast menu so that I did not waste my time and did not get dissapoinred. So I had to chose something I don’t like as there were choose options and we had long drive to this place. I have ordered toast with salmon, but it was disgusting. The salmon looked very bad and they couldn’t even grill the bread properly. And this order did not give me the option of free coffee as they have some small writing that it works with everything except the dish I ordered (although I had to choose it because they did not have anything else except Shakshouka. And the waiter was not at all sorry, just protective So I could not stay there and enjoy wonderful interior as the mood was ruined. Never come back...

Worth a try. On 8 July, we dined in for brunch, at Melali Ubud, before heading back to Nusa Dua and although it was packed with settlers chatting & laptopping, we were able to get a seat in the interiors shade. She ordered a dessert appetizer of Chocolate Mousse, which she described as "accomplished its purpose" with its portion; the mousse was like "harsh dark chocolate". For her meal, she ordered Chicken Katsu (she is a connoisseur of katsu) and described the dish as: "chicken was a bit dry and the curry, with minimum veggies - had a flavor missing". I ordered the Egg Flo Rosti (a beautiful take on eggs Benedict). It is a plated potato rosti (grated potatoes, flattened & fried like a pancake) adorned by sauteed spinach & mushrooms, covered slightly by 2 poached eggs drizzled with Hollandaise sauce - then prettied by arugula leaves. Then it is peppered with a mouth welcoming seasoning. PLUS: Staff was very hospitable and the little cafe is pretty clean. NOTE: Check Google for the "busy" times, if you don't want to wait for a seat. (our host...
