Mount Batur looks closer from this terrace. At Amora Bali Kintamani Resto, you eat with a front-row view of Mount Batur and Lake Batur from the dining terrace. I also like that the meal includes vegetarian and Indian-friendly choices, so you are not stuck with the same predictable sides.

One thing to think about: food can be uneven in quality. If you are sensitive to taste and temperature, go with flexibility, because some dishes may come out less than perfect on busy days. The good news is the setting and service help you enjoy the experience anyway, and the whole lunch run is about two hours.

Key things I’d watch for before you book

• Mount Batur and Lake Batur terrace views from the meal area
• All-you-can-eat buffet style with set inclusions for your menu
• Vegetarian plus Indian-friendly options that are easier to find here
• Self-service feel, so you can plate what looks fresh
• Price value with tax and service charges included in the $12 rate
• Private group experience where you share only with your group

Mount Batur Terrace Lunch: Why This Kintamani Spot Feels Special

Kintamani is known for volcano views, but Amora Bali Kintamani Resto turns that view into the main event. You’re seated on a terrace that looks out over Mount Batur and Lake Batur, so even a simple lunch feels like a planned break instead of a stop you rush through.

What makes it work is the calm rhythm. You get a food setup with multiple choices—appetizers, soup, main dishes, sambal, and dessert—so you don’t have to “pick one thing and hope.” The atmosphere is also described as soothing, and that matters when you’re staring out at a dramatic panorama. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, take your time, and let the scenery do some of the work.

What the 2-Hour Meal Experience Actually Feels Like

This isn’t a complicated tour with lots of moving parts. The heart of the experience is the meal, and that meal is structured around a selected set menu with an all-you-can-eat buffet-style approach.

Here’s how it usually plays out on-site:

• You settle in first, then you start working through the included dishes.
• Appetizers and soup are there to start you off without making you commit to only one flavor path.
• Main courses cover the kind of comfort-food variety you want on a vacation day.
• Sambal is included, which is a big deal in Bali dining. If you like heat, this is where you can customize your plate.
• Dessert ends the meal, and you can treat it as a payoff for the view.

The menu is also tied to local sourcing. The restaurant shares that its menus are dictated by local farmers. That often means you’ll see choices that reflect what’s available in the area—useful if you’re trying to eat more “local” and less generic.

One practical tip: since it feels like a self-service canteen setup, you’ll get the best results by taking your time and plating what looks freshest when it’s your turn. Don’t feel pressured to rush to the first tray that hits the table.

Price and Value: Is $12 Really a Good Deal Here?

At $12 per person, this lunch is priced like a budget-friendly local meal, not a premium dining splurge. And the price includes tax and service charges—that’s a real value boost, because it cuts down the extra line-items that surprise people later.

Your inclusions are listed as:

• Selected set menu
• Tax & service charges

What’s not included:

• Tipping
• Personal drinks and additional order costs (beer, beverages, water, and similar)
• Anything outside the inclusions
• Insurance
• Transport service

So the real way to judge value is this: you’re paying for the meal set and service, plus the view. If you plan to drink something beyond basic non-ticket items, you should budget extra. If you’re happy to stick to what’s included (and keep drinks simple), the value is strong for a Mount Batur lunch stop.

Also: this is booked far enough in advance (on average 77 days). That usually means weekends and peak days can fill up. If you want a time slot that matches your day in Ubud or nearby, booking earlier is smart.

The View: Mount Batur and Lake Batur, Served With Your Food

Even the most careful food plan can’t beat a good vantage point. Here, the terrace setup is the headline. You’re not eating in a back room or behind a wall—you’re facing the volcano and the lake, which makes the meal feel like a half-day memory instead of just calories.

If you like photos, this is one of the spots where it’s easy to get them. If you don’t care about photos, it still matters, because views change how you experience a place. You eat slower. You pay more attention to your plate. You feel like you’re “at” somewhere, not just “passing through.”

One more subtle plus from the experience details: the restaurant is described as having a calming atmosphere. That fits the setting. Kintamani days can be busy, but the terrace dining makes it feel like a controlled pause.

Service, Vegetarian Options, and the Indian-Food Factor

The staff experience is consistently described as warm and helpful. That matters here because the meal is structured with multiple dishes, and you want staff who can keep things moving without making you feel rushed.

The other major win is that the menu works for people who usually struggle with “is there anything I can eat?” issues:

• There are vegetarian options
• There are Indian-style options available, and they’re noted for tasting good to people who specifically look for that profile

This is practical value. Many Bali dining stops either lean heavily generic or focus on one narrow menu style. Here, you can build a plate that fits your taste without doing a whole checklist first.

If you’re in the mood for something simple but local-feeling, one highlight that comes up is pisang goreng (fried banana). Even in places where the meal quality can vary, that kind of snack is often the safe bet—and it’s mentioned as very good.

A Food Reality Check: When Some Dishes Don’t Hit

Let’s be honest: the food quality isn’t uniformly described as perfect. There’s a clear theme of inconsistency.

Some people loved the meal and service. Others said the food was not great—specifically mentioning things like dishes coming out cold, spring rolls tasting off, and limited variety.

How do you handle that without ruining your day?

Here’s what I’d do if I wanted to maximize odds:

• Start with items that look freshly served rather than the oldest tray.
• Keep your expectations flexible: the view is the main anchor, and the food is the supporting act.
• If you find a dish you like early, go back for that same dish instead of gambling on new items late in the meal.
• Lean on the “consistently safe” types like desserts and local snack-style items (like the pisang goreng highlight).

This is why the format matters. It’s self-service style, so you’re more in control than in a plated course-only restaurant. You can adjust as you go.

Getting There in Kintamani: Where You Meet and How Timing Works

You meet at:

• Jl. Raya Penelokan No.999, Batur Tengah, Kec. Kintamani, Kabupaten Bangli, Bali 80652, Indonesia

The activity ends back at the meeting point, so it’s easy to treat as a clean lunch stop.

Two timing points you should care about:

• The experience duration is about 2 hours.
• You’ll receive confirmation within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability.

Transport notes (for planning your day):

• A transport service is not included, so you’ll need your own ride plan.
• The location is noted as being near public transportation, which can help if you’re coordinating with local options.
• Most people can participate, and it’s a private tour/activity, meaning you share only with your group.

If you’re coming from Ubud, build this into your plan as a lunch anchor in north Bali. It’s a good choice when you want volcano scenery but don’t want a long, complicated schedule.

Who This Lunch Works Best For (And Who Should Skip)

This is a solid pick if you want:

• Mount Batur views with minimal effort
• An easy 2-hour stop that feels like a full experience
• Vegetarian-friendly eating with Indian-style options
• Value pricing, especially with tax and service included

It may be a weaker fit if:

• You’re very strict about food temperature and consistency
• You want a polished fine-dining standard where every dish arrives perfect
• You hate self-service buffet formats where you pick and adjust your plate

For couples, solo diners, and small groups who plan to spend more time enjoying the scenery than auditing plating, it fits well.

Should You Book Amora Bali Kintamani Resto?

If your priority is the view and you want a budget-friendly lunch with a menu that includes vegetarian and Indian-friendly options, I think you should book it—especially given the included set menu and the $12 price with tax and service included.

Just go in with the right mindset. Treat it as a terrace lunch experience where the mountain view and overall atmosphere are the main attraction, and the food is a variable side benefit. If you’re okay managing that, you’re likely to leave happy, full, and with Mount Batur in your frame.
