Located in busy, bustling, well lit, JI. Laksmana, in Seminyak the Rumours Restaurant is well worth the visit for all the people who love a good night out with friends/companions and superb food to go with it.
To reach the restaurant, if you’re outside Seminyak, just get into the first blue taxi that happens along and ask to be delivered to the Rumours Restaurant, Seminyak. Don’t forget to tell the driver to put the meter on. The trip should cost approximately 90,000 Rapah (A$10) from Legian – with four in a taxi, it’s not bad.
Some of the taxi drivers are really entertaining - on this night ours played loud reggae music while we sang along - he was laughing his head off.
The dress code is tidy-casual, and the atmosphere is very vibrant, young, and ‘with it’.
The restaurant doesn't look super flash but the atmosphere is friendly and vibrant - never dull. We enjoyed chatting to the tables next to us, the noisy chatter coming from tables further away and getting to know the waitress's and waiters serving us.
The meals are of a decent regular size, and the food is so nice, it seems to just melt in your mouth. Combine that with a couple of Bintangs (beers) and lemon squashes, and the night was a smash hit.
They prepare and serve a mixture of traditional and Western food with lamb, beef, chicken, and other options for dishes and a choice of sides – veggies, salads, etc.
