If you’re ever in Bali and craving some delicious Manado food, you gotta check out Depot Manado on Jl. Sesetan Raya No. 31 in Denpasar. Seriously, this place is a gem! The food gets a solid 4.0 out of 5.0, and I can totally see why. The service is even better at 4.5, which is a big plus when you’re hungry and just want to dig in.

The atmosphere is chill, sitting at a 3.8, but honestly, it’s all about the food here. I went for lunch, and the prices are super friendly, ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000 per person. Perfect for a budget-friendly meal!

Now, let’s talk about the food. The Bubur Manado is a must-try! It’s not just tasty but also healthy, making it a great choice for everyone, including kids. I also loved the Midal, which is a mix of porridge and noodles—so comforting! And don’t skip the Perkedel Jagung; the three-piece pack is just the right amount to satisfy your cravings. Everything I tried was delicious, and I can totally relate to what others have said: “the food always tastes good, making me miss home.” It really does have that home-cooked vibe, and the flavors are just MANTAP (awesome) with prices that are just right!

One customer mentioned, “If you’re looking for Manado food, this is the best place in town.” They nailed it! The snacks are on point, and the taste is just like what you’d find back in Manado. Just a heads up, they do serve non-halal food, so keep that in mind if you’re particular about that.

Another person said they came to eat but found the place closed, which can happen since it’s in a market area that might only be busy in the evenings. But trust me, when it’s open, it’s worth the visit! Someone else even raved about the Manadonisse cooks and cakes, so you know they’re doing something right.

In conclusion, if you’re in Bali and want to indulge in some of the best Manado food around, Depot Manado is the place to be. I can’t wait to come back and enjoy more of their amazing dishes!
