Monsieur Spoon Petitenget: Pastries & Paddy Views
European Café Meets Bali Greenery
Step off busy Petitenget Street and you’re in a different world – the front shows a small bakery counter, but further back opens into airy indoor rooms and an outdoor terrace facing rice fields. Morning light, polished décor, and the scent of buttery dough make it a favourite breakfast stop.
Pastry Highlights and Pairings
Almond croissants appear on nearly every glowing review, alongside classics like butter croissants, pain au chocolat and canelés. Brunch‑hunters mention Wagyu burger croissants, Croque Monsieur and the chocolate pistachio cake. Regulars advise asking staff to warm your croissant for peak flakiness, and to pair it with a cappuccino or fresh juice.
All‑Day Menu and Mixed Reports
Alongside viennoiserie, there’s an Indonesian‑fusion “Dewata” menu – nasi goreng, satay, ayam betutu – plus salads, burgers and soups. Portions run from petite pastries in the IDR 35k–70k range to mains closer to IDR 150k; typical breakfast with coffee lands around IDR 80k–100k. Several guests praise the squid, eggplant, or salmon benedict; others found croissants reheated and coffee milky, or mains lacking seasoning.
Vibe, Views and Crowds
Expect a lively scene, not a secluded café. Bright garden tables face the paddies; the interior is air‑con cool and “Instagrammable”, with warm lighting. Mid‑morning weekends bring queues and slower service; off‑peak hours are calmer. Scooter parking is straightforward; cars face Petitenget traffic, with valet an option.
Service and Cleanliness: The Highs and Lows
Many recall welcoming, well‑turned‑out staff; some even in Balinese costume. Others describe inattentive servers, language mix‑ups, or absent follow‑through on simple requests. Cleanliness reports diverge sharply – from “spotless and calm” to “dusty tables, dirty glass, mouldy umbrellas, and no toilet paper.” Several reviewers said the toilets need urgent attention.
Tips for a Better Visit
Arrive at opening if you want the widest pastry choice; by mid‑afternoon, favourites sell out. Ask for an outdoor table to enjoy the rice‑field backdrop. If service is slow, be proactive. For sweet‑toothed visitors, pace yourself – many cakes are rich and sweet.
In short: a polished Bali‑meets‑Paris café best enjoyed for its setting and fresh‑from‑the‑oven mornings, with patience for service quibbles.
