Gardenia Sanur, taking it easy...

We found Gardenia Sanur just before we were planning to take the taxi to the Bali airport for a flight back home. And next time we will be definitely be heading there much sooner, because it was a wonderful discovery...

We passed Gardenia several times during our stay in Sanur and we were tempted to stop and try it out. But somehow we always had other things planned.

But I'm sure when you see the place you would want to stop too. It looks really nice and once you sit there and glance at the menu, don't be surprise if you decide to stay there a bit longer, order something else and just take it easy for the day...

 

 

Gardenia Sanur is a coffee shop, so don't expect a large menu. Instead you can have breakfast there all day. If you feel really hungry you can try out their Bali Big Breakfast which is bacon, egg, tomato, mushroom and baked beans served with toast. Other lighter choices are home made muesli, croissant, toast (with vegimite if you want!) and pancake.

The last one I had for dessert and all I can say is: delicious!

Besides all kinds of sandwiches and baguettes for lunch Gardenia also has pizza's, spaghetti, chicken cordon blue, chicken schnitzel, fisherman's' basket, grilled tuna, Aussie meat or chicken pie and several Asian dishes.

 

Enjoying lunch...

 

And of course, as expected from any coffee shop, you will find on the other side of the menu their selection of hot and cold drinks and sweet and ice-cream delights.

While we were enjoying our lunch on their terrace we suddenly came to a surprising discovery.

Our favorite place to sit and have a amazing iced chocolate in Sanur has always been Spirit Cafe. We were planning to go there again on this trip to Bali, but when we were searching for it we heard that it had closed down.

But while I was wondering around Gardenia and checking out their cake display I saw in the corner the sign of Spirit Cafe. The staff told me that the owner of Spirit Cafe had closed the cafe and started the Gardenia Coffee shop.

What a big surprise!

 

It's hard to say no to their iced chocolate and pancake...

 

I immediately asked if they still made the delicious iced chocolate. And they did...

The iced chocolate tasted just as good as at the Spirit Cafe.

So as you can imagine Gardenia Sanur is definitely going to be one of my favorite places to relax whenever I'm in town. Hope to see you there...

Gardenia is located in walking distance of the main entrance of the Mercure Resort Sanur.
