I went there on this past christmas because my friend was DJ'ing there with his band. Beers were definitely reasonably priced given the setting, but that's all I ordered, I certainly couldn't afford to eat there, but that's just me. All in all, I would guess that the food is a bargain for a similar type of restaurant elsewhere, but a bit expensive for Bali standards. Everyone there seemed happy with the restaurant and Edward Norton even showed up that night with his father. If you have already booked it, then don't worry and have a great time there, and if you are a wine drinker I have also heard that the corking price for bringing your own wine is not only reasonable, but well worth it.

It's very worth it.
It's great food in a great setting, it may be more than local cheapies but it is certainly not expensive for the quality food it is. Top chef, top restaurant, you will not be disappointed.

Thanks all for that and Bert for redirecting me,We are looking forward to the Moziac experience, it has been on our "bucket List" for a long while, I think it will be a lot different to Naughty Nuries which we love and got to quite often
Many thanks

Regarding Mozaic, now you have it, niskala, and when someone asks you what's the difference between it and Naughty Nuries, you just have to tell them it's just about the fancy table cloths at Mozaic. :lol:

Anyone ever been there? Any reviews?

I had a few beers there on Christmas night last year while my friend was DJ'ing with his band there. I certainly could not afford to eat there, although I was surprised that the beers were still reasonably priced given the atmosphere, which I found to be outstanding. Sorry can't give a review on the food, but the place itself was very nice.

What kind of food do they serve and how much would a dinner for 2 cost approximately? I wouldn't mind checking it out next time I am in Ubud.

I've been to Mozaic more than half a dozen times (but not in the last two years), for lunch and dinner, some times with my wife who also swears by it. I am well acquainted with Chef Salans since he first opened Mozaic, back in 2001, although I wouldn't consider Chris a personal friend. His restaurant is superb, his food is superb, and he never stops innovating. In New York or Paris, according to knowledgeable restaurateurs, his establishment would be at least a 2-, if not 3 stars. I have had the opportunity to experience some of the leading restaurants in Legian, Seminyak, etc, but I still like Mozaic the best. :)
Mozaic has been reviewed extensively. Here is a tidbit taken from the Mozaic website;
[quote]Mozaic Restaurant Gastronomique, is the first restaurant in Southeast Asia to be recognized by the prestigious Traditions et Qualité association as a member of 'Les Grande Tables Du Monde' (The Grand Tables of the World), joining an exclusive membership including world most famous restaurants such as Lucas Carton (Alain Senderens), Le Louis XV and Plaza Athénée (Alain Ducasse), Guy Savoy (Guy Savoy) and The French Laundry (Thomas A Keller).

It's Asian-fusion food if I'm not mistaken and I think a meal there would start at around rp 750,000 per person, so figure on spending about 1.5 million for 2 people.

It's not Asian fusion, but degustation, which allows the diner to sample a series of chef delights.
The food is superb and reasonably priced for the type of restaurant it is.

This thread:
https://balipod.com/forum/threads/anybodys-been-to-mozaic-restaurant.3187/
is worth a look and touches on prices (as they were 18 months ago).

Thanks Ronb and others for the comments and apologies too for not checking old posts 1st

bolli,
I would agree with you regarding the prices charged by Mozaic. Of course, it is expensive for a "Bali restaurant," but in adsolute terms, i.e. comparing it to gourmet restaurants around the globe, Mozaic's prices are rather on the low side, for sure.
Regarding the type of food serve, it's definitely "Asian fusion cuisine." What you are referring to are the "Dinner Tasting Menus, " 5 or 6 courses, which are part of the offering on the restaurant card. However, the type of dishes on these particular menus are Asian fussion. Chris even qualifies all his fares as such in his advertizings.
I would like to point our another very good experience for visitors, of course, but also for expats (or would-be expats): Chief Heinz von Holzen's [b]Bumbu Bali[/b] Restaurant, in Tanjung Benoa. Excellent "fancy," top of the line Balinese festive food. I even attended once his cooking school, which starts at 6:30 am, at the Jimbaran Market. Then, it's an opulent breakfast back at Bumbu Bali, followed by 3-4 hrs of hands-on cooking a storm, under Heinz's direction: about 30 dishes and bumbus, which will be served to the restaurant's guests in the evening. I never turned into anything close to a Balinese Chef, but it was a very worthwhile (and hummy) experience, not to be sneered at. :)

anybody knows, if there's some sort of guide like the michelin, here in Asia?

I know they have one for Tokyo and the new edition has more three-star restaurant ratings than Paris, thereby "crowning the Japanese metropolis the new gastronomic capital of the world".
tintin
Correct, Gilbert, I was referring to the Michelin Guide.
Couple of years ago, Michelin ventured in Asia, for the first time in more than one century of publication, publishing a guide of the best restaurants in Tokyo, with some controversies of course. I believe that now, Michelin has rated restaurants in other Asian cities, such as Hongkong, Bangkok.
gilbert de jong
alright thanks for the info, apreciate it :)
just one more question :oops: ...I always thought the star was earned by the chef, not the restaurant itself, I mean that if the chef decides to quit there and work somewhere else...the star follows with the chef?
