Bendega Restaurant Review: A Chill Dining Experience in Denpasar, Bali

Warung Bendega, Denpasar

Hey there! So, I recently checked out Bendega Restaurant in Denpasar, Bali, and I gotta say, it was quite the experience! The vibe of the place is super chill, with a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect for families or even a casual hangout with friends. The atmosphere gets a solid 4.0/5.0 from me!

Now, let’s talk food. I ordered a few dishes like Nasi Cumi Sambal Embe, Nasi Goreng Beras Merah, and Nasi & Sayur Urab / Plecing. Honestly, everything was tasty! I mean, some folks even said, “Araaa araa enak parah,” which translates to “Wow, it’s super delicious!” They also mentioned that the flavors were just right and the portions were pretty generous. So, yeah, I’d say the food deserves a 3.3/5.0, but it’s definitely worth a try!

Service was decent, rated at 4.0/5.0. The staff was friendly, but I did notice that the service was a bit slow at times. One reviewer pointed out that the waiter made sure to repeat our orders, which I appreciated. However, they were a bit disappointed with the food quality, mentioning that the sambals were oily and not spicy enough, and most dishes came out cold except for the Nasi Goreng, which was the highlight for them.

On the bright side, the restaurant is super family-friendly! There’s a playground for the kids, which is a huge plus. One visitor mentioned that it has a wooden house with a slide, swings, and even a seesaw, all on synthetic grass for safety. So, if you’re bringing the little ones, they’ll have a blast!

Overall, Bendega Restaurant is a nice spot to chill and enjoy some Indonesian food. The prices are reasonable too, with dinner costing around Rp100,000-125,000 per person and lunch around Rp50,000-75,000. I did request no onions in my sambal, but they couldn’t accommodate that, which was a bummer.

But hey, if I find myself back in Bali, I’d definitely swing by Bendega again for the atmosphere and the good vibes. Who knows, maybe I’ll try something new next time!

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Bendega Restaurant in Denpasar, Bali. Picture this: you walk in, and it’s like stepping into a spacious oasis of deliciousness. Seriously, it’s so roomy that if you wanted to do a cartwheel, you could probably pull it off without knocking over a single plate. Just don’t blame me if you end up in the kiddie play area instead!

Now, let’s talk about the food. I decided to dive into their signature dishes, starting with the Nasi Cumi Sambal Embe. It’s like a party in your mouth, and everyone’s invited! The squid was tender, and the sambal had just the right amount of kick. I mean, if sambal were a superhero, this one would definitely wear a cape. But, fair warning: some folks found the food a tad salty. One reviewer said, “Food is a little bit too salty to my taste, but plecing kangkung is the best!” I guess they were just trying to make sure we all drank enough water to stay hydrated!

Next up was the Nasi Goreng Beras Merah. Now, this dish is like the cool kid in school—everyone wants to be friends with it. It’s got that earthy flavor that makes you feel like you’re eating something healthy, even if you’re secretly plotting to order dessert next. And speaking of dessert, I was too full to even think about it. But hey, I’ll just blame the generous portions. One reviewer said, “Food is presented perfectly both in terms of appearance and taste, generous portions at affordable prices.” So, basically, I was just following the crowd!

Oh, and let’s not forget about the Nasi & Sayur Urab / Plecing. This dish is like a refreshing hug after a long day. The vegetables were crisp, and the flavors were vibrant. I could almost hear them singing, “Eat us, we’re good for you!” But, of course, I had to remind myself that I was there for the food, not a musical.

Now, let’s talk about the service. The waitstaff were as friendly as a golden retriever at a dog park. One reviewer mentioned, “Waiter and waitress are all nice and helpful.” I mean, if they were any nicer, I’d start thinking they were trying to sell me a timeshare! But seriously, they were attentive without hovering like a helicopter parent.

As for the atmosphere, it’s got that chill vibe that makes you want to kick back and relax. You can choose to sit indoors or outdoors, and there’s even a play area for kids. So, if you’re a parent, you can enjoy your meal while your little ones are busy plotting their next adventure in the play zone. Just make sure they don’t try to order their own food!

In conclusion, Bendega Restaurant is a solid choice if you’re looking for a family-friendly spot with tasty Indonesian food. Just be prepared to wait a bit for your food—one reviewer said, “We wait for 30-45 minutes to get all food served.” So, maybe grab a snack beforehand, or just make friends with the waiter to pass the time. Overall, it’s a fun place to eat, and who knows, you might even leave with a few extra laughs along with your meal!
