Goemerot: A Nostalgic Dining Experience on Gatot Subroto, Bali

Goemerot, Gatot Subroto

As I stepped into Goemerot, located on the bustling Gatot Subroto in Bali, I was immediately enveloped by a wave of nostalgia. The ambiance, a delightful blend of modern comfort and traditional charm, transported me back to my childhood, where family dinners were filled with laughter and the comforting aroma of home-cooked meals. The restaurant’s spacious layout, with both air-conditioned indoor seating and a cozy outdoor area complete with a small playground for children, made it an inviting spot for families to gather and celebrate special moments.

However, my experience with the food was a mixed bag. While some dishes were delightful, others left much to be desired. One diner lamented, “The alleged fillet beef is inedible. That has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with fillet.” This sentiment echoed in my mind as I tasted the Gorend, which unfortunately did not live up to the expectations set by the warm atmosphere. The chicken satay, described as merely “fat,” was a disappointment, and I couldn’t help but agree that even the simplest street food could have outshined it.

Yet, amidst the culinary highs and lows, there were shining stars on the menu. The Tahu Gejrot was hailed as “the best in Bali,” and the Rujak Serut was praised for its perfectly balanced flavors. The Nasi Goreng, too, was a comforting reminder of home, with its rich taste and satisfying portion. One guest enthusiastically shared, “Their food was very tasty and had great prices, highly recommend it!” This sentiment resonated with me as I savored the authentic flavors that reminded me of family gatherings and festive celebrations.

Despite the inconsistencies, the friendly staff and good service made the experience worthwhile. I found myself reflecting on the essence of Goemerot—not just as a restaurant, but as a place that evokes cherished memories and the warmth of family. It may not be perfect, but it certainly has the potential to touch your heart and remind you of the simple joys of sharing a meal with loved ones. In the end, Goemerot is more than just a dining destination; it’s a nostalgic journey that brings the flavors of home to Bali.

Hey foodies! If you’re ever in Bali and looking for a chill spot to grab a bite, let me tell you about Goemerot Restaurant on Jl. Gatot Subroto Barat. This place is spacious and has a pretty good vibe going on. The staff? Super friendly! They’ve got a solid mix of Indonesian dishes and some Western options too, which is always a win.

Now, let’s talk about the food. I tried their Tahu Gejrot, and wow, it was packed with flavor! The Nasi Goreng Kambing was another highlight – it’s a must-try if you’re into Indonesian cuisine. And for those who love a good steak, they offer Chicken Steak, but I’ve heard mixed reviews about their beef options. One diner mentioned that the rib eye steak was a bit odd, describing it as “perfectly round” and “glued and shaped beef.” Yikes! But hey, the potato wedges were good, so there’s that!

For dessert lovers, they have a nice selection of gelato with various flavors to choose from. Perfect way to cool down after a spicy meal! Just a heads up, the parking situation can be a bit tricky, especially during peak hours, so plan accordingly.

Overall, Goemerot Restaurant is a decent spot with tasty food at reasonable prices. Just keep your expectations in check when it comes to the beef dishes. Happy eating!
