Bamboo Corner. Jl Padma Utara. I have heard a lot about this place but had only visited the Bamboo Corner in Poppies 1 (which I love). This one is great also. Quite an extensive menu and cheap.
# Billy's Bar & Restaurant. Jl Sahadewa. (0361) 763373. Staff friendly, Quick service. (Dinner for 2= 70.000). Fishermans seafood basket- there was plenty in it as well as plenty of salad, plus 2 dipping sauce's and the seafood was cooked just right. I've never had a bad meal there.

Flying Piano - Jl Werkudara, Legian Kaja.Just before Jl 66. www.theflyingpiano.com In a small side street that runs off the road that accesses Jayakarta Hotel - it runs off almost parallel to the back of the Jayakata and goes through to Legian Rd. Food sensational - Indonesian, Swiss, German and Thai menus and numerous other options also.
