Grocer & Grind

August 27th, 2010

I love a great Sunday brunch! I feel a dearth of brunch places in Manila so when I get the chance to travel, I seek these brunch restaurants like a fiend! I spotted a cool looking place near our villa called the GROCER& GRIND. www.grocerandgrind.com. I saw how full it was and thought that that was a good sign. Bali in August has the best weather, the air is cool and the sun is always out, a perfect day for a Sunday stroll.

: I love how there is a small temple every 3 meters. The Balinese are very spiritual and have very unique form of faith, that I find so mysterious and mystical.

A passageway to the temple.

I found these wooden horses so cute, reminding me of a raw Marcel Wanders piece. I like the composition of the lady inviting us to visit her Antique shop.

It took me less than ten minutes to get to the restaurant and we were able to get a table immediately, I really loved the buzz about this place. Everyone was so happy and the chic factor was very high! We skimmed the menu and decided to go for some eggs benedict and some sausage panini! The food came out real fast and it was fabulous! The coffee was also wonderful, they have the best coffee in Indonesia and I just savored it the last drop. The restaurant also has a deli/grocery that features so many yummy treats, perfect for those who like to stock up on food in their villas. I strongly recommend this place, as the food is wonderful and the price points are just right! Did I forget to mention that the “eye-candy” is also a major plus? LOL!
