Cafe Review:- Rosso Vivo, Jalan Pantai, Kuta, Bali

 The Rosso Vivo is located just across from the Beach in Bali and so is a perfect place to rendezvous with friends in the shade with some cooling drinks or cocktails.
 As you can see they have a large selection of non-alcoholic drinks and of cocktails depending what you feel like when you visit. You can sit by the busy Jalan Pantai road and people watch and also view the pleasant swimming pool next to the Cafe/Restaurant.
 The swimming pool is pleasant and guests like to take a dip here or sunbathe. It is a nice location.
 There is a large selection of Coffees and Teas at Rosso Vivo. The staff are very attentive and polite.
It is a great place - just to relax and chat.


We had 2 x Bali Coffees at 22000 rp each.
We highly recommend this place as a refreshment point close to Kuta Beach.

Restaurant Review :- Kori, Poppies Gang II, Kuta, Bali

 The Kori Restaurant is an oasis of tranquility on the busy thoroughfare called Poppies Gang II in Kuta, Bali.

When you enter the beautiful restaurant - you appreciate the warm welcome from the friendly staff and the lovely stream full of fish encircling the restaurant.


We    were enticed by the culinary offerings on the menu which  were both plentiful and delightful. We  arrived  for a Christmas Eve meal with my family and we appreciated the  memory of a special meal. 
Before  we began our meal we had a pineapple juice (30,000 rp) and a Crushed Ice Guava Juice (25,000 rp) and a Java Black Tea (15,000 rp).
We sat by the idyllic bar area and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. 
 One of our party ordered a 'special' Satay dish - which was very tasty and so very well presented.  It really wetted the appetite for a night of celebrating Christmas.
 We also ordered the Nasi Goreng which was certainly a cut above most of the standard 'Nasi Goreng' dishes which are not in the same league.
 I had the Beef Massaman Curry which had a spicy kick to it and was very filling.
We would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The service is top class. The food is excellent and it was utterly faultless when we visited it. It is not particular cheap but knocks spots off any similar indonesian restaurant in Singapore. Enjoy it - but you may need to book in advance - especially in peak season!
