Mozza Sanur

Relaxed dining on Jl. Danau Tamblingan

Set right on Jl. Danau Tamblingan No.108 A, Mozza Sanur draws people in from the busy main road with soft lighting, tidy décor and a “warm, inviting” feel noted by many guests (Google 2024). Despite the traffic outside, diners describe a “lovely spacious atmosphere” with background music and even the occasional gecko adding to the tropical charm.

Open daily from 10h00 to 23h00, it works as well for breakfast and coffee as it does for cocktails and dinner, and some guests have happily lingered from 10.30am to 15.00 using the strong WiFi and cool aircon while waiting for a flight.

Hybrid menu: steak, pasta and nasi goreng

Mozza’s strength is a wide-ranging menu that mixes Western comfort food and Indonesian favourites. Reviewers single out ribeye and sirloin steaks, beef tenderloin, lamb shoulder, Cajun snapper, barramundi, nasi goreng, pad thai and crispy duck, plus crowd-pleasing burgers, mixed satay, pork ribs and pork belly.

Breakfast and brunch get special praise: eggs Benedict, Mozza Scrambled Egg (mentioned in the market report), chicken caesar salad and tomato basil soup are described as some of the “best” meals visitors have had in Sanur. Portions divide opinion: many call them “generous” or “just right”, but a minority find steaks and some mains “very small” for the price and point out that sides like mash, vegetables and even ice cream with lava cake come as extras.

Cocktails, deals and value for money

The much-loved 2-for-1 cocktail deal shows up again and again in reviews, with strong mojitos, frozen margaritas and other drinks seen as “such good value”. Smoothies, mocktails, frappes and fresh juices are also frequently praised; drinks like Mint Sensation and Tropical Calm get specific mentions for being refreshing and gentle on the stomach.

On price, several visitors from Australia and elsewhere highlight full-course dinners with cocktails coming in around $53 AUD or $135 Aus for a family of five, calling the experience “excellent value” (TripAdvisor/Google 2024–2025).

Service: mostly heartwarming, sometimes stretched

Service is a major part of Mozza’s appeal. Names such as Suari, Dwiki and Dama appear repeatedly in reviews, thanked for being “super attentive”, “very sweet” and “knowledgeable of the menu”. One guest celebrating a birthday mentions a surprise from the team, and many describe staff as polite, helpful and professional.

Still, there are rare off-notes: a late appetiser here, a slow bill there, and one or two reports of staff handling complaints poorly or even joking in the kitchen after a dish was sent back. These are isolated compared to the large volume of glowing feedback but worth keeping in mind if service is your top priority.

Space, comfort and practical quirks

Inside, the restaurant is described as spotless, beautifully maintained and “instagram-friendly”, with comfortable seating and even an air-conditioned toilet drawing amused praise. That said, the open dining room can feel hot at midday despite fans and AC, and a few guests mention noise from the main road.

Parking is a known hassle: spaces along the street fill quickly and nearby spots are often taken by local transport vehicles. Some diners recommend coming by motorbike, Grab car or with a driver to avoid circling for parking.

Reputation and who it suits

Online reputation is strikingly strong, with around 4.9/5 on Google Maps from more than 1 000 reviews and repeated mentions in “best restaurants in Sanur” round-ups. Complaints about dry rendang, underwhelming lamb chops or an uncooked chicken burger appear, but they are rare against a backdrop of superlatives.

Mozza Sanur is best for travellers and locals who value polished plating, a relaxed but refined room and a menu that can satisfy both steak-and-pasta fans and those chasing nasi goreng or crispy duck, all on Sanur’s busiest strip.
