Meet Mama San

Stepping off the busy Jalan (Road) Oberoi - Seminyak, into the sister restaurant of Sarong, Mama San is an instant surprise. 

The Asian theme remains obvious though we could not help feeling powerful over tones of an early era Chicago gangster lair through the edgy industrial materials used in the design. Over sized tan leather chesterfields, chandeliers, a high warehouse ceiling, a double iron staircase and various vintage elements enhance the overall ambiance.

The interior upstairs is based around the idea of the Colonial British Gentleman's Club, where patrons can enjoy a brandy and a puff on a Cuban!

The food is incredible and affordable, the atmosphere is electric with fantastic service and a consistent flow of beautiful people. 
All the dishes on the menu are a guarantee and the creativity given to each individual cocktail alone is a reason enough to visit Mama San.

Not only is this restaurant and bar provide an amazing dining experience, it also offers a kitchen open to cooking classes! Learn how to become your own Asian Master Chef!

Hope you get a chance to enjoy!

Crossing Bridges

It's hard to do this incredible restaurant justice with photographs alone. If you are ever in Ubud this restaurant is a must. As the impeccable food and service, combined with the view down the lush tropical gorge draped in vines and flowing water and it's timeless colonial elegance, will assure all your senses are catered for. 


For a relaxed decadence and a very memorable experience this place will not let you down.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Our fingers were crossed that the rain would clear by the evening. Our wish came true and what a spectacular night we had on Nusa Lembongan @ Batu Karang Lembongan Resort & Day Spa. 

A four course dinner, champagne, plenty of cocktails, live entertainment, a great bunch of people and an incredible firework show over the whole island. It was a great way to see the New Year in! 

Happy New Year everyone, we hope 2012 is an amazing one for all xx
