At the moment Kayu Manis is in the throes of renovations, should be open about mid June again. Is going to be bigger (not huge tho)but still feel it will have the same kind of atmosphere. Were lucky enough to have a look thru and check out the renos with Gusdek(owner) who is overseeing every last detail of the work,... More

The "original" Kayu Manis was small yet with good table spacing was not overcrowded, I hear they have re-opened and look forward to a meal there during my next visit. Last there in Oct 2011 we went for a seafood theme with entrees of Vietnamese Shrimp Rolls that were soon followed by Tuna Carpaccio and Stuffed Chilli Squid, both were... More

This place is amazing the head chef has real talent and pride in his food. This kind of food would cost a fortune in London here it is a bargain not to be missed. I always eat here 2 or 3 times on my annual pilgrimage to sanur. The best in sanur in terms of value and quality. More

With respect to the one star reviewer earlier I can barely believe that he or she had such a terrible time. To so many, including myself and Mrs Electric this was THE place to eat in Bali. The food was EXCELLENT. The ambience was EXCELLENT. The Staff were friendly, and again EXCELLENT. And the man who was the head chef... More

I have been a regular guest in Kayu Manis during the last years and went there again in December 2011. It was nice as always - but as it was two days before a three month major construction and renovation period they started to sell out their stocks and some food and some drinks were not available.(that is understandable) Also...

If the latest review is correct and they are indeed closed down then good riddance! We read various reviews here and on other sites, and while most say it is good, there was some caution raised in a few reviews. My wife and I spent 10 nights before Xmas toll after New Years in Sanur. We've been to Bali 20+... More

I booked this restaurant from Australia and received a confirmation email for booking on the 9th Jan 2012. I had the Villa call up to confirm the booking when we arrived as it was my wife and I's Anniversary. The Villa couldn't reach the restaurant to confirm. Our driver took us to the venue which is now closed due to... More

We went there 3 times on our last visit to Sanur and it was the best food I have ever eaten. My husband is really fussy and he ate everything, which is a real stand out, as he always complains. On arrival you are served a complimentary starter, first we had stuffed mushroom served on a fork, delicious, then I... More
