What we are
Banyoo is a small kitchen with a short menu. Around twenty five dishes, cooked when you order them. We would rather do that number properly than print four pages and reheat.
Half the menu is the food we grew up eating in Indonesia and around the region, and half is the Western breakfast cooking we learned later. The desserts are made here, including the Indonesian ones. Klepon cheesecake and dadar gulung are on the board because they are good, not because they photograph well.
That is the part we care about, and it is the part that travels. The lake and the trees are where we happen to be right now.
7am, 8pm
Through the day
The same menu runs from open to close. What changes is the room.
Lunch
The full menu, all of it, available all day. There is no separate lunch card and nothing comes off the board.
Late afternoon
Our busiest hours. It builds from around 4pm, peaks near 5, and stays full into the evening.
Early evening
Slower, and the light is worth staying for. Last kitchen order 7.30pm, we close at 8.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
What time does Banyoo open?
Every day from 7am to 8pm. The kitchen stops taking orders 30 minutes before closing, and the last coffee goes in 15 minutes before that.
Is the whole menu available all day?
Yes. The same menu runs from 7am until the kitchen takes its last order at 7.30pm. There is no separate breakfast, lunch or dinner card, so you can have eggs at four in the afternoon if that is what you want.
When is Banyoo busiest?
Late afternoon. It builds from around 4pm, peaks near 5, and stays busy through to seven or eight. Mornings are the quiet stretch if you want a table to yourself.
Do you serve dinner?
We serve until the kitchen closes at 7.30pm and the cafe closes at 8pm, so it is an early dinner rather than a late one. Plenty of people eat here from five onwards.
Where exactly is Banyoo?
Inside Pecatu Indah Resort in Pecatu, Kuta Selatan, Bali, across the roundabout from Swiss-Belresort Pecatu. The address is Jl. Kantor PIR and the Plus Code is 6P3Q54QJ+GQ6, which is the quickest thing to paste into Maps or give a driver. We are beside the lake, just before New Kuta Golf.
Is there parking?
Scooters park at the cafe itself. Cars use the car park by the lake, which is about 100m away, and you walk the last stretch. Both are free.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes. Bring a leash. If your dog barks, wanders to other tables or jumps up at people, the staff will ask you to put it on, because some guests are frightened of dogs. Clean up after your dog, on the lawn and on the paths. Our team cannot hold or watch it for you.
How much does a meal cost?
Main dishes run from IDR 55,000 to IDR 100,000 and desserts from IDR 35,000. All menu prices are before 11% tax and a 5% service charge, so add about 17%. Two people having breakfast with coffee usually land around IDR 250,000 all in.
Do I need to book a table?
Not on a weekday and not before 9am. For a weekend late morning, or a group of more than four, message us on WhatsApp at +62 851-8395-9553 the day before.
Is there pork on the menu?
No. There is no pork in any dish and the bacon is beef. We are not halal certified, so if certification is what you need, we would rather tell you straight.
Are there vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. A good half of the food menu is vegetarian, and Fungi Greens, Shanghai Spicy Wonton, Cauliflower Lolipop, Handcut Chips, Bulgogi Rice Bowl and the Impossible Burger are plant based. Everything is marked on the menu page.
Any allergens I should know about?
Cheesy Basil contains cashew nut and is the only dish on the board with a tree nut in it. Tell the floor team about any allergy before you order and most dishes can be adjusted.
Can I work from Banyoo?
Yes, mornings especially, because that is the quiet stretch of our day. There is wifi and power at some tables. One thing to know: the afternoon is our busiest period, and once the floor is full the team may ask you to share a larger table, so it is not the place to spread out across four seats at 5pm.
Is Banyoo indoors or outdoors?
Entirely outdoors, under a timber canopy, the trees and umbrellas. There is no indoor air conditioned room. The canopy is shaded and has fans, and the trees cover most of the rest, so it works right through the day.
Is there live music?
Yes, we run live music under the trees, jazz most often. The schedule moves, so ask the staff or check Instagram for the next one.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes. There is lawn and open space beside the seating and a path around the lake. High chairs are limited, so ask when you arrive. The lake is deeper than it looks, so keep small children in sight.
Who owns Banyoo?
Licasia Vialista, an Indonesian owner and operator who is also a local artist. Banyoo is locally owned and locally staffed, with no head office behind it. There is more about how it started on our story page.
