Yut'z Place

by Nadzyra

WHERE GOOD VALUE MEETS EXCELLENT QUALITY!

Yut’z Place is named after its charismatic owner Ibu “Suyuti” Sayuti, who has worked hard to transform the venue into what it is today: a well-known restaurant with many loyal customers from all over the world. Ibu Sayuti has been running restaurant establishments for almost two decades. It all started when she opened a warung in front of the Oberoi hotel 17 years ago. After having successfully run the warung, followed by several other venues, she eventually managed to obtain a bright and spacious area in a convenient, central location on the corner of Jalan Werkadura.
This venue is packed every night, and it did not take us long to find out why.

The first thing you notice when you arrive at Yut’z Place is the pleasant atmosphere: Mediterranean features nicely blend in with authentic, Balinese ones. The restaurant is decorated with warm and delicate pastel colors combined with colonial, teak wood furniture. The professional and friendly staff, of which the majority has been working for Ibu Sayuti for over ten years, visibly enjoys working here.

Yut'z Place is a Swiss and European restaurant offering a large variety in dishes. Upon arrival we were offered a free welcome drink – a perfect introduction to the many choices of cocktails and other beverages on the menu at great value for money. Tasty slices of complimentary garlic bread were served before our appetizer arrived. We devoured the recommended avocado shrimp salad, which is served with big, fresh shrimps accompanied by rucola salad topped with a nice honey-mustard dressing. Unexpectedly, delicious in this warm climate is the thick, meaty Goulash Soup. Should the thought alone already make you transpire more, the cold smoked fish platter dish is a nice alternative.

Yut’z place is famous for its top-quality steaks. The tender Chef’s delight fillet steak of 200 grams is an old-time favorite amongst Yut’z visitors. And you can rest assured that your request for the way you would like to have your steak prepared is interpreted correctly here; a medium rare steak will definitely be warm through the middle with a hint of red! Besides the steaks, dishes such as smoked chicken breast stuffed with mushrooms, “real” Swiss St. Galler sausages and cordon bleu are definitely worth trying. All main dishes are nicely presented and served with appetizing side dishes including Yut’z signature potato wedges, mashed potatoes and rucola salad. And the staff will make sure to pass your table with fresh pepper grinders.

Good news for wine lovers wishing to complete their meal with a nice bottle of wine: Yut’z wine list contains both local and Australian wines at extremely reasonable prices. The extensive menu also caters to customers craving Indonesian food; popular and flavorful dishes such as sweet & sour shrimps or curry bakmi goreng are specialties of the house. Should you have room for anything else, try one of Yut’z yummy deserts or freshly brewed coffees.

Many frequent visitors agree that the breakfast served at Yut’z is simply excellent. Several customers are such big Yut’z fans that they even showed us pictures of the delights served here! Dishes include freshly baked, authentic British bread & butter pudding, continental breakfast, homemade muesli, and -yes, it is possible in Bali- a properly prepared Swiss Rösti!

In short, Yut’z manages to combine great food, service, and décor with a more than decent price.

See you soon at Yut’z!
