Top five restaurants in Indonesia
I am not sure if this is a mistake or not, but all of the "top 5 restaurants in Indonesia" in this article from Reuters are in Bali!
"This is a list of the top 5 restaurants in Indonesia, where the cuisine is varied but fine dining still confined to the capital Jakarta and the island of Bali. It is not endorsed by Reuters."
The top 5 are:
1. Mozaic - Ubud
2. Ku De Ta - Seminyak
3. Naughty Nuri's Warung and Grill - Ubud
4. Sarong Bali Restaurant - Kerobokan
5. Bumbu Bali - Nusa Dua

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.
A mistake for sure. There are great restaurants in Jakarta.
I believe it's a joke. Although I like Naughty Nuri's, I doubt very much it would ever make it in ANY lists, well, maybe the list of the best warungs in Ubud.
The Miele Guide is certainly a guide on a par with the Michelin Guide. I cannot find anything about its "supposed" classification of the best in Indonesia. The only classification was for the Asia Top 20 for 2009/2010, in which Mozaic is # 6 (down 1 from 2008/2009), and Ku De Ta is # 9 (did not appear in 2008/2009).
Remember that ratings are not based on food quality alone, but include other factors, such as service and ambiance.
Keep on smiling.

I agree with you.Originally Posted by spicyayam
I would also recommend Mykonos Greek Taverna on Jl Laksamana.
Great food, great service...only the place is rather small
I think the Reuters have not considered the other restaurants in Indonesia but focused mainly in Bali.
Although most restaurants in Bali are indeed considered world class since it has more tourist visitors than any other place in Indonesia so far.
Last night we had a delicious meal and a great evening at The Istanbul Restaurant in Pengosekan, Ubud. We'd recommend it to anyone located around Ubud and will be going back again. The meals were huge. We took home doggie bags (but don't tell our dogs ).

Ah - I think I was there a few months back - I don't remember the name but there can't be all that many Turkish restaurants in that part of Ubud. I got there because it said free Wifi - but then they apologized it wasn't working (I have found a few places in Kuta like this - big sign, but sorry its broken). Then they seemed to only have a spoken menu - so you didn't get the usual price info - but the food was great and the prices quite reasonable. I plan to get back there - not sure how soon.Last night we had a delicious meal and a great evening at The Istanbul Restaurant in Pengosekan, Ubud.

Hi RonB, it could be the same place although I didn't see any sign for wi-fi but that may be because we were there for an evening out together and I wouldn't have noticed. Also, we did have menus and prices even though the owner suggested we let him choose. The meal started with the best salad I've had in Ubud and continued in that vein.
The Bear was interested in the pizza oven built by the owner since that is something we'd like to build at our house. And we could see into the kitchen so we had an idea of how clean it was.
Thanks for the Kakiang Ubud Bakery link. I'll be darkening their door very soon.

Yes that checks. The owner telling you about the food and the pizza oven. Good one.
