A Culinary Adventure at Retro Kitchen and Bar in Sanur, Bali

Retro Kitchen and Bar, Sanur

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Retro Kitchen and Bar, located at Jl. Danau Tamblingan No. 126A in Sanur, Bali. Picture this: you walk in, and it’s like stepping into a cozy time machine where the vibe is just right. The background music is so chill that you can actually hear your own thoughts—what a concept! No shouting required, folks!

Now, let’s talk about the food. I decided to channel my inner food critic and ordered the Bangers and Mash, Breakfast Burrito, and a Pitaya Smoothie. I mean, who doesn’t want to drink something that sounds like a Pokémon? The Bangers and Mash were so good that I almost proposed to my plate. Seriously, if I had a ring, I would’ve slipped it right on the sausage! And the mash? Let’s just say it was smoother than my attempts at flirting.

Then came the Breakfast Burrito, which was like a fiesta in my mouth. I took one bite, and suddenly I was in a mariachi band, complete with a sombrero. It was packed with flavor, and I felt like I was getting my daily dose of happiness wrapped in a tortilla. And don’t even get me started on the Pitaya Smoothie. It was so vibrant and refreshing that I half-expected it to start dancing on the table. I mean, who knew a smoothie could have such a personality?

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room—or should I say the slow service? One reviewer mentioned that the waitstaff could be a bit slow, even when the place wasn’t busy. I guess they were taking their time to ensure that every dish was crafted with love… or maybe they were just practicing their yoga poses in the back. But hey, good things come to those who wait, right? And trust me, the food is worth it!

Speaking of good things, I overheard a family at the next table who ordered two platters meant for two people each. They ended up feeding six adults! I mean, that’s some serious portion control—or lack thereof! They were practically rolling out of the restaurant, but hey, that’s what vacation is for, right?

And let’s not forget the ambiance. The lighting was so perfect that I felt like I was in a romantic comedy, just waiting for my food to arrive like it was my long-lost love. The tables were spaced out nicely, so you could enjoy your meal without eavesdropping on your neighbor’s awkward first date. But watch out for the dogs! Apparently, they love the place too, and they might just bark at you if you’re not careful. It’s like a canine concert in there!

All in all, Retro Kitchen and Bar is a gem in Sanur. With great food, a chill atmosphere, and a sprinkle of dog drama, it’s a must-visit. Just remember to bring your patience for the service and maybe a dog treat or two, just in case! Bon appétit!

If you’re in Sanur, Bali, and looking for a chill spot to grab a bite, you absolutely have to check out Retro Kitchen and Bar! Seriously, this place might just be the best restaurant we stumbled upon during our four amazing nights here. The vibe is just right—perfect background music that lets you chat without yelling, cozy lighting, and tables spaced out nicely. Plus, the service? Prompt and super friendly! And let’s talk about the portions and prices—totally on point! The drinks were the best prices we found around. It’s like they nailed the trifecta of great food, awesome service, and wallet-friendly prices. Honestly, I’m kicking myself for not finding this gem on our first night!

Now, I gotta be real with you. While the food is consistently good, the service can be a bit slow, even when the place isn’t packed. We spent almost two months in Sanur and kept coming back to Retro Kitchen. But man, waiting for menus and trying to get the staff’s attention can be a bit of a drag. They really need to step up their game in that department! And while we love dogs, it can get a little chaotic when they start barking at each other in the restaurant. Just a heads up!

But don’t let that deter you! The atmosphere is calm, the food is fresh and delicious, and the staff is friendly (even if they take their sweet time). We had a fantastic dinner here, and I’d highly recommend it! The seating options are nice, though some spots are definitely better than others. The food was good—not mind-blowing, but solid. We tried the rijsttafel, and while nothing really stood out, the variety made it a fun experience.

So, if you’re in the mood for some tasty bites, definitely go for the Bangers and Mash or the Breakfast Burrito. And don’t skip the Pitaya Smoothies—they’re a must-try! Retro Kitchen and Bar is a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring, and I can’t wait to go back!
