Ashtari

A whole-food vegetarian restaurant set high on a hill above Kuta. It has breathtaking views of Kuta bay. It's accessible only by motorbike up a very steep, potholed, muddy road. It took a while for me to find someone to take me, but I did eventually - for 50,000 rupiah round trip. Some trucks with workers were also trying to get up the hill but sliding backwards a lot, so that the passengers had to get out and push after chocking the wheels with rocks. There were also a few westerners on motorbikes having a very rough time of it, some girls in tears as they clung on to each other and slid around and fell over in the mud. I had to get off the bike a few times and walk.
Lime juice, syrup and mineral water - 12,000 rupiah
Small Bintang - 17,000 rupiah
Potato samosas - 15,000 rupiah
Asian salad with shredded vegetables + leaves, tofu, tempe, crispy croutons and cider vinegar sesame dressing - 35,000 rupiah
Chocolate granola cake - 10,000 rupiah
Bloody marvelous.
