Breakfast at Adiwana Alas Harum is served at Black Garlic, the hotel’s partly open-air restaurant overlooking the lush green valley. If you can, grab one of the tables along the edge.
Breakfast is included for hotel guests, though anyone can dine at Black Garlic. If you’re staying nearby, it’s well worth a visit.
I’m always happy when hotels serve breakfast à la carte instead of as a buffet. Everything is cooked to order, and the menu is large enough that you could eat here every morning without getting bored.
The coffee was excellent, similar to what you’d get at a nice cafe. We also had fresh juice every morning. Steve tried different ones, while I kept ordering the watermelon juice, which was sweet and refreshing in the Bali heat.
Every breakfast started with warm croissants, butter, homemade melon jam, and a plate of fresh fruit while we waited for our main dishes.
The Mango Symphony Smoothie, with mango, banana, granola, and strawberries, was a great lighter option. At the other end of the scale was the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, served on crispy potato rösti instead of the usual English muffin. I wasn’t sure about the rösti at first, but it worked surprisingly well, and the whole dish was delicious.
The Oreo Pancakes were definitely more dessert than breakfast. Two thick pancakes topped with caramelized banana and ice cream. Not something I’d order every day, but fun if you’re in the mood for something sweet.
Our favorite, though, was the Ham & Cheese Toastie. Sourdough filled with melted cheese, ham, egg, aioli, and a spiced black garlic spread. We ordered it once and wished we’d discovered it earlier.
Black Garlic is only a couple of minutes from the northern entrance to Campuhan Ridge Walk, making it a great breakfast stop after an early morning walk. Whether you’re staying at the hotel or not, it’s a place I’d happily recommend for excellent coffee, beautiful views, and one of the best breakfasts we had in Ubud.
