On May 3, 2010, we visited Kemangi Restaurant in the duty free shop, Plaza Bali! The restaurant runs based on the concept of “Italian from Bali” and has stylish and casual atmosphere, and many residents like to eat there. Varieties of pasta, crispy pizza, and real sweets that are rare in Bali; HIRO-chan staffs tried tasting all of them!!
※Kemangi Restaurat was moved to new place on June 1, 2011 due to closing of Plaza Bali.
To Kemangi Restaurant♪
The restaurant is in Plaza Bali. There are not only boutiques but also handicrafts and Balinese fancy staffs, so good place for buying souvenir. It’s fun Duty Free shops with massage place and dress-up traditional costume.
There are 2 restaurants in Plaza Bali. This is Chinese Seafood Restaurant. There are rounding tables, and you can try real Chinese food
Today, we visit another one, Kemangi Restaurant! I must take pictures in front of the restaurant, of course.
The entrance is stylish and fantastic. This is the interior by the Japanese designer.
It’s glass wall on the stage side, so it’s open. If you get the seat near the stage, you can enjoy Balinese Dance that is performed 4 times in one week!

Report by Koni
Today was my forth time dinner in Kemangi Restaurant; actually, I went there a few time in my private time. There are not so many Italian restaurant where “serves delicious standard Italian food” in Bali with good location and with affordable price.
“Italian Deluxe Set” that is introduced in HIRO-chan’s Recommended Tour and Restaurant homepage has plenty of dishes including Steak for main dish, pasta choice, soup, salad, and sweet. Each dishes doesn’t have big portion, however, it is recommend for who like to try tasting many kinds of dishes!
Moreover, I tried sweets at my first time, and they are all delicious! They have good value of portion and taste more than their price. The owner is Japanese, and he is going to focus sweets, so I can expect more later on. I was shocked about the sticky sweet taste of cake that I tried in one famous bakery in the other day. I decided through this covering, “If I really want to eat cake, I would come to Kemangi Restaurant!”
