In the late 80's we recognized a growing demand in Bali for restaurants of international standard. At that time we were faced with the lack of decent, hygienic restaurants that could cater guests of our Travel Division, Lotus Asia tours. We thought long and hard how to spoil our customers. We sought to create an ambience of elegance, built upon Indonesia's rich cultural heritage, and of course lotus flowers should surround all our Restaurants.

Our menu should combine flavors of the orient and the occident. So we created our motto: "The Best Recipes From Around The World". We wanted to create a restaurant that would cater to the various preferences of different family members whereby those who would prefer to stick to the known could have a traditional steak & fries where the more adventurous family members could try out some local cuisine. Naturally, our pizzas and pastas have proven to be "hits" among our younger visitors. Our diversified menus are also highly successful with large functions or parties, satisfying the divers tastes of our guests.

We opened our first restaurant in Bali's cultural epicenter Ubud. Cafe Lotus Ubud proved so successful that people often could not find a seat thus we decided one year later to open a further restaurant in Ubud: Lotus Lane.

Based on that success, we wanted to bring our Lotus Concept beyond Ubud and over ensuing years we opened more restaurants in Kuta, Sanur, Nusa Dua and even as far as Candi Dasa. After we had established a strong position in all major tourist areas of Bali we accepted the challenge to build a presence in South East Asia's food capital, Singapore. In spite of fierce competition, Lotus Restaurants has been so successful there that we opened our second restaurant Lotus on the River, just a few meters away from Café Lotus. A third and a fourth restaurant in Singapore followed quickly afterwards. We also expanded to Lombok with the opening there of the Lotus Bayview.

So what does the future hold for Lotus Restaurants ? A lot ! We are preparing to extend the Lotus Restaurant Experience with opening more Restaurants in South East Asia.

·other world cuisine treasures such as Japanese Tempura, Caesar Salad and Indian Samosas and many more.

To avoid chain monotony, every restaurant has a different menus even if our "best sellers" can be found in all our outlets. We carefully select seafood, fresh meat & poultry, nutritious vegetables and healthy dairy products to be used for preparing our meals. We adhere to the highest standards in terms of cleanliness and hygiene.
