" Coming for a Sunday lunch the restaurant gradually filled up the sparsely and modern decorated outlet. The see through open kitchen with a built in Chefs Table locked attractive and top of the range. As the food concept is for sharing be mindful that the portion size is generous. Pricing is moderate and with no alcohol you will likely stay around the 1 million (70$) mark. The food is a good variety of seafood and meats as well as vegetarian. The soft shell crab is exceptional and the black ink “risotto” with no rice a must have "

" Best Tapas in Bali!! If you are willing to get out of the Seminyak strip, this is most definitely worth the effort.
Minimalist decor & concrete floors with an open kitchen is a hive of highly organized activity.
The tapas style food is innovative, fresh and totally delicious. The owner/chef made himself known at our table and was so enthusiastic about all the local Balinese produce used to create his incredible dishes, the 'Bali Breakfast' is a must.
Do yourself a favor.... GO!! "

" No wonder people give 5 stars review for this restaurant. As it described, the food come in a smaller portion so we can try more, and last night I tried some tapas and all of them were so delish. Make sure to order the scallops, they are heaven..really.

Me and my family were so happy with the ambiance and the service. The 2 kids got a colouring set, and kids meal special for them, and cotton candy for their compliment.

Thanks to the chef a the kitchen team for serving such a wonderful dinner meal. Really really really recommended. "

" Gorgeous food! Modern, fresh, creative. The best customer service I've received from all of the restaurants I went to in Bali. Even the chef came out and offered my friend a gluten free option when we had a set menu. Will be going there again. From Sydney "

" Amazing!!!! Make the time to come! Wow wow wow We had an amazing experience here. From the first moment we really felt spoiled here. The food was fantastic and I loved the sharing plates. The menu was very well known by the wait staff and they served the food with pride. "

" The roasted pork buns and baked scallops are amazing! The dishes are really creative, frankly, every dish combination you see may not fee appetizing but the taste is just extraordinarily different and amazing, most come with a taste you may not have experienced before so you really have give respect to the head chef and cooks here. 5 stars for me!

" One of the best culinary experience that I had in Bali. The food is fantastic, tasty, fresh, well prepared, beautiful and really creative! The chef is a showman and the open kitchen a big plus. The atmosphere inside is really interesting and quiet. The price are not so expensive and the area is not the best of Bali but it worth the visit. "

" Nice place for tourists. Good prices. Service is good. Nice chef from Canada. Tries hard. But dishes are not for people who like to lose weight and who do not like mixing food and having to many different type of sauces. Glasses for red wine are too small. Could be bigger. Tables are too far from each other. Could be closer. But generally nice place. "

" Beautiful restaurant setting, service was impeccable and they have a small but good selection of wine. The food was incredible, they served me a Gluten-free tasting menu and I was blown away... One of the best meals we’ve had in Bali. "

" While working in Bali, I went several times to Cuca.
It has always been a superb experience : smiley and welcoming service (from staff and owners), all the waiters and waitresses are very knowledgeable about the drinks and food, which is... amazing, beautiful, tasty, savory, fantastic... Kevin, the chef, is highly creative and offers you a selection of surprising dishes made with local ingredients.
My favourite one ? The "Bali Breakfast" !
Definitely a must do while staying in Bali ! "

" The reviews are true. This place is exceptional in every way. I recommend Baked Scallops, Roasted Pork Buns, BBQ Octopus and the Bali Breakfast OMG best dessert of my life. Can i actually HAVE it for breakfast tomorrow please? And how do you get the mango puree to look AND ACT just like an egg yolk? Amazing! Loved it! Love especially to think what I would pay for this in Australia (too much) and that 8 tasters was only $60. Wow "

" A wonderful place for painstakingly crafted tapas! Very warm and friendly staff who were exceptionally attentive to diners’ needs and dietary requirements/ restrictions. The service rendering was really professional with good recommendations and waiting staff constantly checking on diners’ well-being. The food is really delicious too! I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience there. Good food, great ambience, amazing staff... highly recommended if you would like to have some tapas! This place is perfect for family gatherings or friends get-together. It is also children-friendly too. Be prepared to part with slightly more than your reservation price for the bill. But with the awesome experience, it’s all well worth it! :D "

" Excellent food, different to anything we've ever tried before. All of the staff are extremely attentive and friendly, especially Abdul, who made us feel really comfortable. Couldn't recommend this place more! P.s. Try the mushrooms, you won't regret it!!! "

" A lot of hype, but below premium food. We were very excited to try this restaurant, especially coming from Chicago and wanting some delicious tapas. The ambience is great and the staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

Half of our tapas were good, the other half were just okay. The pulled pork tasted salty, it actually didn't taste like pork. The ceviche was good, but had too many competing dominant things going on.

The mushroom fritters and pork buns were great.

It might have just been my expectations (as it always is), but I thought it was just a bit over-hyped.

And I've only been in Bali a few days, so maybe with the more food I try, the more amicable my thoughts will be of the place.

Oh and the music was bad. "

" Nicely designed restaurant and spacious both indoor and outdoor. The food was not as expected despite of its creativity. Excellent service and the staff explained every dish clearly. "

" Hands down the beat restaurant in Bali. Make sure you make reservations, as it is popular and has about 15 tables inside, 10 counter seats overseeing the kitchen, and several tables outside. We went with friends and shared several dishes. I absolutely loved the pork buns; the best food I had in weeks. Ordered each desert and everyone had a different favorite dessert. Can't recommend this restaurant highly enough, definitely 5 stars++++ "

" Amazing food for a great price 80k to 250k per tapa. Exceptional service. Completely open kitchen. It's extremely entertaining to watch the staff cook. Good cocktails. About 45k to 90k per drink. "

" Flavour bursting tapas! Incredible service with each meal explained on how to eat it. We shared 5 plates between the 2 of us (not very hungry) and it was perfect!!! Could not fault a single thing! They also can order you a taxi and escort you from door to door. A MUST NOT MISS in jimbaran. All under $100! Food with experience and very inventive! "

" We ate at a lot of favourite dining places in Bali and Cuca was our favourite. There are no words to describe the great flavours that each tapas had. Every dish had a unique flavor that was outstanding. The service was amazing and I would definitely recommend trying Cuca when your in Bali :) "

" Amazing. Some of the best food I have ever had. The staff were polite and efficient. The owner came out to talk to us during our meal. You could tell his passion for the food. Wonderful place I could not recommend this high enough. "

" Our family of four enjoyed amazing dinners here on our first and last nights in Bali. The food was out of this world good. It is now THE favorite restaurant of our whole family. The service was impeccable. The warm lively ambiance welcoming. The decor was modern yet comforting, with a large out doors dining area and garden. I don't think I have had so many new taste combo experiences in a single meal.

This is also the best value meal we have had, possibly EVER! We will be back and hope to share this wonderful experience with all of our friends and family one day. Do yourself a favor and book the reservation! "

" Brilliant restaurant, the service staff were knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Excellent decor with some very unique plates to compliment the dishes. Highly recommend trusting Chef Kevin's 'The Chef Tasting Meal', one of the best meals ever. Nine dishes, customised to the preferences of our group, each one a hit. We left very happy and will be sure to return on our next visit. Bravo! "

" Delicious food and amazing service! They even provided bug spray. It is tapas style eating so you order a number of dishes and share them. Dishes are good for 2 to 3 people. So doubles of a dish would be needed for any larger party. The food there was amazing and interesting. Some very interesting combos. Would recommend trying as much as your tummy and budget can take! Beautiful setting for the restaurant as well! "

" A great restaurant located near the beaches of Jimbaran. Expect excellent and warm service throughout the meal. Food was great with good contrasts on textures, colors and flavors mainly showcasing the local produce.

Only downsides I see were the hurried food service when opting for the chef's tasting meal, courses were almost overlapping making me feel they wanted high turnovers on their tables. Please please pace your courses better.

Furthermore, selection on the wines by the glass could be further expanded upon. Current selection is mediocre at best. "

" Exellent service, even better food. Has to be in my top 10 restaurants of all time.

The food was very good. We ordered 6 tapas as suggested for 2 pax. It was enough, even a bit too much for the two of us.

Will visit again! "

" Wow. What amazing food and incredible service. Also, a great quiet beach nearby if you want to chill after a nice lunch. However, beware the portion sizes (tiny). But they have great food for vegetarians. "

" This is an excellent restaurant which foodies are surely gonna love. It's a tapas style restaurant, where all food served is gourmet. Traditional European and Indonesian food are on offer with special touches put together by the restaurant. Their Meat & Potatoes ragout is phenomenal! "

" A super creative restaurant with a super creative chef. Had an amazing meal at their kitchen bar where you can watch all plates being prepared. We had a few plates but the most memorable ones were the soft shell crab and the "breakfast" dessert. Wow.. And the prices were good compared with the quality and service (not for budget travelers though). Highly recommended and would done there again any day. "

" Great restaurant with lovely food. Portion are on the small side but explode with flavour. Ask for you plates to come as pairs if you want to eat them together. "

" Everything here is perfect: attentive service (never a long waiting time needed to serve the next dish/tapas) , great ambience and vibe (opt on the bar to see how chefs work) , and brilliantly presented tapas. Reasonable price. One of the best in Bali !! "

" Highly affordable pseudo degustation; has great taste, great design and most importantly, leaves you filled and wanting more. Did I mention their dishes are prepared using locally grown ingredients? Yum! "

Paul Gage

" My wife and I had a really great meal here last night. The food (tapas style) and cocktails were original and all very nice. The restaurant itself is sleak and fresh. Must also mention that each member of staff was extremely attentive, very friendly and professional. We'd recommend you try it too. "

" We had a mind blowing culinary experience tonight. Not only the atmosphere (outside) was incredible but the food did not let us down. Definitely one of the best restaurants Ive ever been to. It's a must if you're in Bali or Jimbaran! "

Oscar Rehnberg

" Foodie delight! Out of 10 dishes, 9 we're very good or even excellent. Strong value proposition means a clear 5 star! Front of house is also very pleasant, thank you! "
