Every time I pass Jalan Batubelig I'm attracted to a place called Bow. This two-story building with a garden wall has no way of knowing what kind of place it is; all I can see is their sign (written as 3OW) - a large smiley emoticon on its glass door. But as I enter the door smiling, tempting aroma of food from its open kitchen invites you to go further ...
The young smiling staff greet you by bowing, and I am surprised radiant green rice paddies of its windows - a little secret that is well guarded behind this restaurant. Decorated with a Mediterranean flair, large Arab lamps, chalk boards, mosaic tiles on the walls and warm lighting, I feel like I am in the dining room of someone in the Middle East.
The first floor is air conditioned, furnished with rattan chairs and comfortable sofas. It is also complemented by a fake fireplace to make you feel warm and comfortable, despite the fact that outside boil. Upstairs, the restaurant atmosphere is completely different. He has a real atmosphere of Bali where you can enjoy a balcony overlooking the rice fields with visible volcanoes as a backdrop when the sky is clear.
During the day this space is perfect for a nap after lunch, especially when the wind blows slowly. The owner told me that many of his customers feel this restaurant is like home; many died on the sofas because it is so comfortable.
Bow The idea behind is to give something to accommodate everyone - conditioned spaces, outdoor spaces, large display TV cartoons and toys for children. And it does not end in their settings menu that offers food choices also reflect this flexibility and creativity.
Open 12 hours, 11 to 11 p.m., Bow welcomes meals all day brunch dinner. The menu is inspired by the stories and experiences of life abroad with food from several countries that bend the concept of ordinary room serving food on the basis of a certain owner of the journey kitchen. Fejioada of Brazil to Haiti Grillot Pork and Mezze Mediterranean, you can travel the world Bow in a single day. Bow is also a paradise for hunters brunch. When many restaurants in Bali only provide a brunch on weekends, in Bow every day is Sunday.

The best thing about Bow is the price - all cheaper than Rp.100,000. Some foods also have two price options where customers can opt for a smaller portion with a cheaper price, so no food will be left behind. They also have promo menu with special prices available.
With such an affordable price, it is quite surprising that Bow can serve food of this quality.

Everything is fresh and the ingredients are wellsourced. It is a place to relax and meet friends over good food, and to celebrate the fact that every day is Sunday in Bali.
