"Fantastic fun"
review for Chef Bagus Balinese Cooking Class with Market Tour

My only comment is that perhaps people should be asked to wash or sanitise their hands prior to starting. Although we used gloves at times there were occasions where food was passed round to taste from hand to hand. ie the chilli tasting. Other than that the whole experience was amazing. Will highly recommend.

Chef Bagus and his staff were professional and it was a fun experience. We enjoyed learning local cuisine. My friend and I are vegetarian and they were accommodating to us. Thank you for a great class!

Chef Bagus and his team gave us a great experience, lots of tips and techniques about Indonesian cooking and a great lunch.

What a great day, started with a market tour and then onto the cooking. The staff were amazing and really looked after everyone. The whole class was great from start to end, great experience and the food was delicious, will definately be cooking it at home.

we were picked up and dropped back by a pleasant driver in a comfortable car. Chef Bagus greeted us, and entertained us for the next four hours, while sharing cooking tips and involving us in the preparation of delicious food. So many recipes to take home and enjoy with our families.

Patrick is a wonderful host he makes you feel very relaxed he also makes you feel like you are part of the team and he is so welcoming . Thank you for a wonderful Day Patrick and Chef Bagus

We had a fantastic time with Chef Bagus and his wonderful team. It was such a great opportunity for our family to spend time together as well as meeting other people with a love of food. Chef Bagus makes it such a fun experience and best of all the most delicious food.

What an amazing class! We were picked up from our hotel in the morning and were driven to a local market where we were told all about the local fruit and veggies. We were then taken to the restaurant to commence the cooking class. We had eaten here multiple times before which is what prompted us to want to do the cooking class. We were greeted by the chef himself who is so friendly and welcoming. We were served stick rice dumplings for breakfast which was one of the most amazing things I have ever tasted! We then we're shown and participated in cooking multiple dishes all while having many laughs with the other students. To end we were treated to a feast of everything we had learnt to cook during the day. It was lucky that the class included transport back to our hotel as we were too full to walk!

From pick up to drop off no dramas the day was knowledgeable we started with the markets that was a eye opener, Patrick looked after the group he was great ,the day is hands on and really fun, chef bagus was funny he involves everyone in the class and you get plenty of tastings as you go. Great atmosphere

Chef Bagus was funny, knowledgeable and kind

Very good enjoyable from start to finish chef Bagus was really great made us laugh and taught us a lot his staff are second to none would recommend this to anyone

Thoroughly enjoyed my cooking class with Chef Bagus & his wonderful Staff. My Husband did not join me for the cooking class, so I just had to take him back for dinner that night & he was very impressed. Highly Recommended

Class was fun and informative. Lunch was delicious as well!

Booked online, very easy, the experience was awesome the whole way through. Chef Bagus and all of his staff where amazing helpful, patient, skillful and very very funny. I would without hesitation highly recommend Chef Bagus and his cooking class. The food was amazing. Booked in for the restaurant to eat what I've been told are the best ribs on Bali.

It was a great class , but thought we would have separate cooking stations so we would do more cooking individually,

I am forever grateful for such a great class . So humbled that Chef Bagus and his team made such a wonderful class for us . Highly recommend that this is a must do on your trip to Bali .

It was a fun class and the food was really good. We thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

Chef bagus cooking class was great! Lots of hands on experience, and an entertaining class that I would highly recommend 😊

Chef Bagus is a natural teacher who mixes serious cooking skills with a lot of fun. The whole team helped us by prepping and cleaning up as we went along. Best activity my whole holiday.

Bagus is such a knowledgeable kind guy. Great cooking class had so much fun, learnt heaps and ate some yummy food. We are going here for dinner tonight too!

Would recommend to all our friends

Chef Bagus is a true entertainer assisted by a fantastic group of staff especially Mumma Bali. A wonderful 4 hours exploring and understanding the culture, origins and food of Bali. Exceptional value, highly recommend- 6 ⭐️

Chef Bagus had some great info and cooking tips!

Great fun, excellent food and awesome chef

Great fun very informative Lovely food friendly staff

I really enjoyed the tour of the markets, our guide was easy to understand and very likeable. Chef Bagus was entertaining and so knowledgeable. All of the dishes we made were outstanding. Would highly recommend this class!

Chef Bagus is a fabulous man and so passionate about his art. All things Balinese. He is a great teacher and you will walk away with a bevy of new knowledge and skills and friends

I went by myself into a group of 20 people from various countries, and chef Bagus made us all feel at ease. The class was fun and interesting and not too complicated on the cooking front! After cooking all the recipes, we sat down to eat them all, and were given a recipe book and certificate too :D

I had a fantastic time with you guys

We had an amazing day with Chef Bagus and his team. The food was wonderful and food hygiene was of the highest standards. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Chef Bagus is a lovely man who was full of character and fun. Thank you Chef Bagus for a wonderful and tasty day.

What a great experience. Value for money and some! We all had a fabulous day with Chef Bagus. We met new people, tried new foods, learnt new cooking skills, laughed and laughed. What an amazing time we had. Totally recommend and I already have friends interested for their next trip. Thank you Chef Bagus you are amazing.

We had a very fun experience from the market to the actual cooking class. Chef Bagus was a very entertaining teacher . I learned a lot about Balinese food and culture during the class.

Highly recommended for single person or for a group who would like to learn and enjoy Balinese cooking with a little bit of backgroud on history.

Enjoyable and chef Bagus/staff very fun & gained lots of useful cooking tips cant wait to try these at home. Thankyou for a good experience

Really enjoyed cooking with Chef Bagus. One of the most enjoyable days that we have had here in Bali.we had so much fun with chef bagus and his cooking team. We ate too much and laughed too much. Would highly recommend this activity to anyone coming to Bali. to Touring the markets was interesting and eating all the food afterwards was great.

We had such a great time with Chef Bagus. He makes the class fun with his jokes, but also manages to teach us a lot about cooking tips and tricks we never knew! I couldn’t have booked a better class. It was the highlight of our time in Seminyak.

It was a funny and delicious cooking class. The best that I had, so far.

Clean environment to cook. Nice and helpful staff. Chef Bagus is very professional, showing us everything we need to know about Balinese cooking, from special spices and herbs they have here in Bali, to traditional cooking and preparation methods. The class is super fun and we get lots of chances to have hands on. Love the part where we got to try the dishes right after we just made them. 10 recipes were being cooked and all of them are awesome. Highly recommend this cooking class if you want to experience how bali people cook for there fantastic meal!

I had a wonderful time, lots of fun and most of all I learnt a lot! Would definitely recommend to friends and family. I can’t wait to try out recipes on family when I get home, really excited about it! Also met some great people at class. Chef Bagus was exceptional at instructions, and staff were amazing.🥂

The staff were extremely organized, quick to assist, and friendly. Chef Bagus was hilarious. He was extremely knowledgeable and taught us so much about the ingredients we were using. His personal anecdotes helped us get to know him as a friend, not only as a teacher. The food was amazing too. It was great that they pre-cut all ingredients and had us do everything as a class. This allowed for no one to get stuck behind or for others to have to wait for anyone struggling. Instead, we worked as a team and did well with it. It also allowed us strangers to get to know each other. We loved everything about the class!

Chef Bagus was funny, informative and the whole day was excellent. Learnt a lot including some tricks that I have been previously been doing wrong. Highly recommend attending!

A really enjoyable couple of hours. Chef Bagus has an easy style and engages well with the group. Some good cooking tips - and reasonably hands-on. Finished by a very enjoyable lunch.

What a lovely morning! Collected on time, market tour, then to the restaurant for a well prepared informative day with the hilarious Chef Bagus and his minions, amazing food and very easy to replicate at home.

Great class

Had so much fun with others, chef Bagus and the staff. He even taught us to cook our great lunch but so much food. We come back again if we visit Bali. Thank you

Interactive, funny and informative. Great to have all the recipes and be given a tour of the market.

Chef Bagus was very energetic, friendly, and informative in the class. He taught us how to make 10 amazing Balinese dishes. 10/10 would recommend!

Chef Bagus was an amazing host for this cooking class. He was funny, engaging and informative. In addition, his staff were equally as friendly and informative when conducting the market tour before the class. I would highly recommend this class to anyone else who is interested in Balinese cuisine.

It was a fun and nice experience for my whole family. Chef and all staff members were very helpful. The food was absolutely delicious, we will have dinner in that restaurant soon.

Loved the cooking classic. Bagus was very good and a real chef. Very educational about ingredients, techniques, and flavours. Learned a lot!

Loved it! Chef Bagus was so engaging and entertaining! The food was delicious and the preparation process was very balanced with just the right amount of time spent mixing, etc. Chef Bagus gave the little girls just the right amount opportunity to cook and they wanted to come back again.

Really enjoyed the cooking class - great fun and all the dishes we made tasted terrific! Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Amazing food, amazing chef teaching, and amazing techniques learned. A great day finished off with a feast of your own cooking.

Something different to experience whilst in Bali. Go to local markets to look at produce then back to restaurant to start cooking. Chef Bagus is amusing & makes learning fun. Would highly recommend

I liked Chef Bagus and his team. They were clearly passionate about what they did and were fun to learn from. The class was a group one where everybody participated but only one batch was cooked. I would have preferred more hands on class but understand that this isn't the Balinese way. I would recommend this class

If you are looking for an authentic Balinese cooking experience, then you have come to the right place. Chef Bagus was kind enough to let me and my family experience the best in Indonesia. We had a visit at the local market and we were able to select and know some locally grown ingredients. People around were so kind and smiling. We were also given welcome drinks upon arrival then a short intro about Indonesia and its food culture. We definitely saw the passion of Chef Bagus in helping us appreciate their culture. Our vegetarian requested was catered and it did not disappoint us. We went home carrying our learning and experience.

Extremely interactive class and everyone was involved and included the whole time. The menu was excellent and food was absolutely delicious when we sat down to enjoy it for lunch. Many thanks to Chef Bagus and his lovely team for a fabulous and fun few hours - would definitely recommend this and will certainly be back again.

Chef Bagus is a wonderful teacher and even better chef! He has so much passion and love for his culture and his stories and experiences made this such a rewarding personal experience. I have a great understanding of the flavors and techniques and finally an accurate understanding of how much a "pinch" of an ingredient really is!

It was entertaining, informative and the food was delicious. So much so we returned for dinner the following evening. I highly recommend doing Chef Bagus Cooking Class.

We had a good, fun and informative experience. Chef Bagus got everyone involved and was very entertaining. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The class was great. Very interactive and we made quite a few dishes. The food was great too!

I learned some things i never would have thought of. Would like to do more advanced class.

Had a great morning with Chef Bagus, fun and entertaining whilst learning lots of techniques. Great balance between cooking and watching with all the boring bits ( veg prep and cleaning up) done for you by chefs magic elves. Morning starts with a visit to the market to experience local culture and culminates in lunch where we all sit down to enjoy our spoils (if you have any room left after all the tasting) If you love Balinese cooking or Just want a unique different experience this trip is a must. Highly recommend

Loved the lesson.

Had a great time. Highly recommend to anyone looking for some fun and superb recipes and cooking.

Chef Bagus Balinese cooking class is a must for anyone visiting or revisiting Bali. They come and pick you up, and drop you off, along with feeding you lunch (Which you will prepare in the 2 hours your with Chef and all the Pappa and Mamma Bali's. You will be involved in most aspects of the cooking class, which include many cooking techniques, use and of locally sourced produce, along with plenty of tasting sessions (Not so many that you don't eat your lunch). Its really good fun guys, so if your looking to learn, and have a good giggle, this is definitely the class for you and truly deserves the 5 Stars!! Thank you Chef Bagus and all the Mamma and Pappa Bali's who helped out :)

Loved the whole experience. The market visit was an eye opener and we learnt a lot of interesting information about Balinese herbs and spices and cooking. The cooking lesson itself was interactive and Chef Bagus Was funny and very inclusive. Food was divine and we enjoyed a delicious lunch that we helped prepare. Highly recommend this to anyone!

Thoroughly enjoyed Chef Bagus’s class, his staff were fantastic. Market tour was very interesting, learnt a lot and the shopkeepers were wonderful. We all had a great experience and highly recommend.

Pickup Service (in Canggu) was nice, though the driver was 30min early, but very nice. We were driven to a local market, where we were told a lot about Balinese cooking traditions. The market was authentic! Lots of fresh veggies and fruit and chicken parts. But we didn’t buy anything there, were driven to the restaurant where Bagus, the chef, welcomed us. He didn’t get tired to tell the food we were about to cook was NOT from the market, which was nice on the one hand (market was not thaaat clean etc) but on the other hand, then why did we go there (1st) and besides, there were so many Indonesian people buying their everyday food from the market and it was kind of disrespectful of him to belittle the people there and the market in general (especially because it is part of his program, but ok). So after 10min of Bagus telling us his amazing life story of aaall his achievements, we were told more interesting facts about Balinese cooking. Everybody got a name tag and apron (not to keep tho). He showed us all the ingredients, epecially the spices, explained a lot and I really loved this part. You really get to smell a lot! It was great teamwork. We prepared a lot ourselves even though everything was cut and chopped for us. Still, so much fun. Some meals were prepared and then cooked while others were ready immediately and we could try and taste them. Great! Some were a little spicy, but I‘m very sensitive when it comes to chili, everybody else was fine haha. Then we had lunch together at a huge table, sharing all the food we prepared before. It was so much! There were some people joining us that had not participated in the course, I don’t know? But was enough. More than enough! And so tasty! Everybody got a certificate and with alittle rough ending a driver for me was ordered. Not an expensive taxi, but a Grab at a fair rate! Thanks for this! Would recommend!

Very enjoyable morning. Learned quite a few things.

This class was amazing and I would highly recommend, we learnt so much in such a short time and Chef Bagus was hilarious. It was really great to learn more about the Balinese cooking techniques and the various ingredients that are involved. On my next trip, I definitely plan on visiting his restaurant so I can indulge!

Great class! Chef Bagus made the whole experience as good as it was. A must do for anyone coming to Bali... food was amazing and so grateful that we were able to learn some of the Balinese culture. Thank you soo much

Would have love more hands on experience but with the time and number of dishes won’t be possible. Chef Bagus is great in getting participants learning how to follow a recipe (very fundamental step in cooking!) and also suggest replacement ingredients for those not from the region.

My husband and I are in Bali celebrating our 30th anniversary. We decided to do a cooking class with Chef Bagus and were not disappointed. We had a fantastic fun time with a great group of people and enjoyed it very much. I struggled with the heat when on the market tour but was very well looked after. The food and whole experience was amazing and Chef Bagus. What can I say. An amazing chef with an awesome personality. Thank you for a wonderful day.

We enjoyed the great experience! Thank you

Such a fun lesson. Learnt a lot as well as being very fun. The food was delicious.

Chef Bagus was very personable. Him and his staff did a great job and kept us entertained the entire time.

Chef Bagus and his staff were amazing. So knowledgeable and passionate about educating the class on Balinese cooking and flavours. Amazing morning👍🏼

What a great experience taught by an amazing chef. Start the day visiting a local food market where you get taught about Balinese life with food. Then off to the restaurant where Chef Bagus teaches you 10 fantastic dishes showing the steps and tricks of how it’s done. Then to finish you eat theses 10 amazing dishes and receive a recipe book of the dishes.

Well worth doing a cooking class and learning Balinese Cooking. Thoroughly enjoyed the class. Well done to Chef Bagus

This class is more like a demo class, no hands on experience for every dish. However, chef Bagus did actively engaged everyone in the class by rotating participants to join in hands-on for different dishes. Class was informative, light-hearted and fun. Pickup and drop off service was a value added service. Food served during lunch was really generous. Worth giving it a try in bali!

Fun and interactive class! Chef Bagus and his crew made sure we all had a fantastic time! Would recommend to anyone who wants to try something different whilst in Bali!

We loved Chef Bagus’ cooking Class. We loved learning how to cook with unique Balinese spices to create traditional dishes. We enjoyed the hands-on nature of the class with a chance to understand each ingredient. Chef Bagus is entertaining and expertly knowledgeable about Bali cuisine and it was a treat to learn from him. You will eat like king’s after class!

Very good fun. Chef Bagus was very entertaining. The market tour was an interesting insight. High recommend this class to anyone visiting Bali.

Chef Bagus was very entertaining!! Market tour was interesting but bring a fan!!

Fun class, everyone gets involved. Food was delicious. Techniques explored, alternative ingredients suggested, dietary requirements met. Trip to the markets was interesting but very hot environment (you can escape to the air conditioned car). Lunch was very generous-so much food!

Best food, great experience, and good fun.

Just great listening to Chef Bagus! He is such a professional and has a lot knowledge. He certainly enlightend me and we had fun as well as learnt many things.

A great way to learn some Indonesian cookery with a wonderful chef and we were lucky we had a great group of people. We had a banquet of food at the end - the roasted pork was to die for, a great experience.

This class was fabulous. Chef Bagus was an amusing and informative teacher. He was very knowledgeable regarding the history of various foods. I came away from the class with the recipe book, knowing that I will definitely try the the recipes when I get home. I cannot recommend this class highly enough.

A very interesting experience, Chef Bagus has a real good sense of humor and knew how to handle individuals. The cooking class was another experience and all made in good fun with all participating. The food we cooked was delicious and would recommend this cooking class to everyone.

Enjoyable time, fun but educational and of course the food was amazing, thanks Chef Bagus.

Today Julie and I took a Balinese Cooking Class and Market Tour with Chef Bagus.... In hindsight having a big night last night with way too many Bintang was probably not the best idea before doing a traditional local market tour... The heat and the smell was let’s say a bit overwhelming to say the least but we survived. The cooking class itself was excellent with us learning how to prepare and cook eight different Balinese dishes. Chef Bagus and his staff were fantastic... our class was made up with people from eight different countries we learnt so much in one morning with so many laughs along the way before we sat down to eat the Banquet we had just prepared.

From the moment they pick you up to the hotel, to eating the 10 traditional dishes you make with your colleagues, the Chef Bagus experience is unlike any other. Chef and his team are kind, informative and hilarious. Cooking should always be this fun. The ingredients are fresh -- they take you to the market first to learn about the local flavor that makes Balinese cuisine so tasty -- and the entire process is well thought through and organized. You really do a lot in the 3 hours you spend together (not including eating). Highly recommend to anyone visiting Bali who needs a short break from the beach and the party scene.

Great experience and practical tips that apply to all cooking

Fun, entertaining and learnt some great recipes and techniques.

Chef Bagus was tremendously helpful and exciting in his teaching methods. It was an amazing class to be a part of for my partner and I. We really appreciated the time he took to teach us about each and every dish. We highly recommend this class to everyone.

Booked this class as part our Bali trip to try something different. Chef Bagus was a riot - we had a class of 15 and it was such a fun and interesting thing to do. He is very funny and inclusive - he was aware of everyone getting involved. We made 10 dishes - and to be honest we did all the fun stuff like learning how to wrap meat in banana leaves , grinding the spices etc. We met some lovely people and had a delicious lunch at the end and then delivered back to our hotel. It was a fun way to spend a morning and I would highly recommend it. 👍🏻👍🏻

L'équipe et le Chef Bague bien rodés. Cours instructif et sympathique. A refaire avec grand plaisir🤗👍

Had really informative, interactive and fun experience. Food was delicious & fresh! Got to go through lots of different recipes and got recipe book to take home 👍

Not only was the class very hands on, but Chef Bagus made the experience so much fun. He made sure to include everyone in the process of making all the dishes and kept things light and very humorous. Definitely recommend!

The food was fantastic and Chef Bagus made sure everyone was involved even though it was quite a large group.

I loved this cooking class. Chef Bagus was informative and entertaining. It always amazes me that people can be funny and most probably repeat their anecdotes daily but still make it sound fresh to us! A chef and a comedian! His staff were also funny and informative with a great banter with Chef Bagus. My son was sick during the market tour and they helped with getting him comfortable and cool as quickly as possible. Oh! and the food was also great! We didn't waste time chopping but learnt about spices, cooking meat and folding banana leaves!

Chef Bagus and his other chefs were attentive to our needs and very entertaining. The class was very educational and geat value for the cost. It was a total experience!

Bagus was a great host with a very slick and entertaining operation. Excellent food and recipes to take away and I would not hesitate to recommend this cook class.

Enjoyed our time with Chef Bagus and his team. Learnt a lot about Balinese cooking and the various spices and techniques. Especially enjoyed the interactive way the course was run with people from various backgrounds making it interesting. It was a pacy format without wasting time on cutting and preparation as this was handled efficiently by the team and allowed us to be involved in the actual cooking process. The market tour was very interesting as well, a good insight into how the local Balinese go about their day to day food shopping. Eating our creations was also a treat!! Chef Bagus is a very engaging host and has an obvious joy and commitment to Balinese cooking and spreading the word. Would highly recommend this experience.

I booked this tour with a friend, and we ended up in a group of 14 people. We were so impressed by the professionalism of the team overall - the enthusiasm and passion Chef Bagus has for food and for teaching people about food, is infectious. He was a fantastic, engaging presenter who was conscientious in his attention to detail while still taking opportunities to keep the class fun and entertaining. My friend and I had a great morning, and we’re looking forward to trying to recreate the dishes back in Australia.

Chef Bagus and his team were simply outstanding. We were picked up on time from our cruise ship and assembled as a group at the fresh food market- fortunately they don’t buy their food there. The cooking class was very entertaining, fun and informative. Worth twice the price! Thank you Chef Bagus

Would recommend anyone to try Chef Bagus Cooking Class. Good food, fun, friendship.

Great cooking class. I learned a lot about the balinese kitchen and the dishes were all delicious! I can also recommend it for people with coeliac disease (or gluten sensitivity) like me. Chef Bagus prepared almost every dish we cooked in a glutenfree version for me and we even cooked a curry only for me.

Was a great experience, he was informative and had a great personality to keep it light-hearted and interesting. The food experience was hands-on as much as possible and was packed with flavor. Well worth it and the highlight so far in Bali

Chef Bagus and his crew were all so amazing and welcoming. The class was interactive and a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend if this is your first time in Bali! =)

The entire day from the pick up to the final farewells was a must do. We had a playful and knowledgeable chef in Chef Bagus who took us through an educational and fun cooking experience. The group was a great size so we felt that all received equal attention and information. This is a hands on class and a lot of fun. Would recommend for beginners and experienced. Have done some classes around the globe but this one will be memorable for the insight and the fun we all had.

We booked the cooking class as a group of 8. Chef Bagus was a professional, knowledgeable and experienced chef, and taught a great class with a light-hearted and entertaining atmosphere. All the staff were friendly and spoke good English. We were picked up from our hotel promptly at 8:30am and taken to a local food market for an informative tour about Balinese produce and ingredients we would be using in the class. After that we were driven to the restaurant where we learnt to prepare a comprehensive range of Balinese food through 10 different dishes. This included being able to eat them at the end of the class at lunchtime with our fellow participants. After lunch, we were driven back to our hotel, arriving at about 1:30pm. The cooking was reasonably hands-on and the recipe book was included as well (although this didn't include the restaurant’s famous pork ribs but I don't blame them for keeping that recipe a secret!). It was well worth the money for a very enjoyable and fun experience. The restaurant was clean and spacious enough for the number of people in the class. I think there were 17 participants that day and Chef Bagus did well to ensure everyone got a chance to cook. Our only gripe was that during the day the staff kept asking us if we wanted drinks and only at the end did they mention only the first drink was free. I think the whole class thought all the drinks were included in the price (USD34) of the class as the way they were asking us felt as if they were offering them. Just a suggestion that it wouldn’t hurt for them to state this. The drinks were reasonably priced but it was more just the surprise which left a slightly sour aftertaste to what would otherwise have been a perfect experience.

My partner and I absolutely loved the class had a lot of fun! It’s very hands on and a lot of great information was told. We also went back for dinner and that was amazing as well.

It was a really nice experience. The market tour was very interesting and Chef Bagus is really funny and we learned how to cook (and eat) delicious Balinese dishes. I'm really glad we did the class :)

Bagus was so accommodating and fun! Best cooking class ever! Laughed so much :)

Chef Bagus is so funny and a well renowned chef.

Good experience: We learned a lot and Chef Bagus is funny and professional. We had a very interesting experience. However, it would be better if we would be fewer. we were 17! Even if cheap, we found it sad to have to pay for the soft drinks while gently proposed at the beginning and while the activity costs 30€...Quite a lot in Bali

The chef was very entertaining and involved everyone in the preparation of the many dishes.He was very informative with respect to food and food preparation.The meals we prepared were delicious and practical in that they can all be made at home using the recipes in the book provided. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic enjoyable experience. Would recommend to everyone. Chef Bagus is a fantastic guy. Thank you for the lovely day

Very informative, from the market walkthrough to the prep of local dishes in traditional methods to finally enjoying the dishes that were prepared.

Great fun, learnt heaps. Chef Bagus is excellent

Great value for money. Not a lot of hands-on, but plenty of food and demonstration of 10 traditional Indonesian dishes

Loved the tour of the market place learning what some of those strange fruit and vegetables actually are that we've seen in other markets. The cooking class was good giving an overview of the recipes in the booklet you take home. Right pace and length of time, Chef Bagus is entertaining. Class finished with a huge feast. Would have liked to have gone there for dinner before attending the class. Highly recommend.

Top experience,Chef Bagus shared so much in the short time and all the staff made the class a great experience. Highly recommend the class.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learnt lots about cooking and different types of food from Bali. Thank you so much

Bagus’s class was very professional and clean. His recipe was useful and delicious. We learned very much. But it was sad that he doesn’t give us many chance.

We had a great time at the class. Everything was perfect and the chef was so interactive, we had a good laugh and learnt a few things.

This was my first ever cooking class, so my girlfriend and I didn't know what to expect - and this class blew away any possible expectations! Chef Bagus is an impressive fellow, and runs the class with appropriate knowledge, humour and fun. We loved every second of it, and tonight I'm actually using the recipes Chef Bagus taught us to cook Mi Goreng (my fav) for the first time! Would 10000% recommend.

Chef Bagus is a wealth of knowledge and experience, with a fantastic level of charisma. Not only was the cooking class informative, but he made it a lot of fun also. He doesn’t waste time with chopping or preparing ingredients (confident that anyone willing to sign up for a cooking class can handle these steps themselves) and instead focuses on the cooking. We made 10 different recipes in the short time together, with lots of explanations and mountains of hands on cooking time. I know the cook book and techniques discussed will come in handy for many meals to come. My only criticism was a potential lack of preparation for a vegetarian participant - prawns/shrimp were used as a substitute for meat, without it seeming like a real alternative available should they not have wanted to eat shrimp. On the plus side, for me at least, it meant we got to taste a recipe in both a chicken and shrimp variety, which I enjoyed. I highly recommend this class for any meat eaters, and would simply suggest extra planning with the team ahead of time for any vegetarians.

Enthusiastic chef

The cooking Class was a fantastic experience very informative and easy to understand We even returned for tea later that night it was sensational

For service and entertainment- 100%. For quality of food - 150%. For learning- awesome. Good length of time- not too rushed.

Chef bagus is funny, friendly and really good at engaging his students. We made so many dishes on one morning! (Of course the kitchen prepared most parts of it, and also the cleaning). The market tour prior to the class also gave me some insight on Indonesian culture and lifestyle. We all had fun!

I really enjoyed the class. The host was very entertaining

Would recommend this to anyone of any age, don't stress if you can't cook. This lesson focused in teaching you about Balinese food and cooking in general. Plenty of hands on, but the dishes are finished by a crew of professional chefs, so if you over season your dish they will rescue you. So in the end you will learn, be entertained and enjoy some fantastic food. Chef Bagus has set a high standard for all cooking classes.

Chef Bagus and his team are friendly and knowledgeable. We loved this class from start to finish. Food was delicious and class was hands on. The market tour is a lovely addition. It’s quite hard to find food traditional Balianese food so we were very happy!

Chef Bagus & his staff were all very friendly, helpful & exceptionally good at hosting a cooking class, including a market tour. We definitely recommend this half day, value for money Bali experience. Tracey & Gadget

We really enjoyed our time with Chef Bagus and team. Lots of traditional recipes, explanations of how and why things are done, and all at a really good pace including a trip to the local market. Good for beginners and experienced cooks. Best of all, you get to eat it all afterwards. Bonus!

My partner and I had the best time. We had some really useful tips and cant wait to cook some of the great recipes at home in Australia.

I would recommend this course. Pace is good. Class is excellent. Very informative in a very short space of time. Both Market tour and Instructions had excellent hosts.

The whole course was full of so much information, it was hands on, the food was amazing, and the staff were so friendly. I would highly recommend this cooking course. Loved eating all our food together. Heaps of fun.

Lots of information about balinese cooking and ingredients were given. Not too much hands on but understandable because of the short amount of time and lots of dishes to cook. Overall great experience.

Great market tour and the cooking class is clean! Like Chef Bagus share his experience and cooking skills . Happy environment to share the food with all ppl! Highly recommend to everyone!

Chef bagus was really great. Food was amazing and you get a recipe book which is brilliant.

I loved this cooking class. Everyone was so friendly and skilled and they explained a lot about the cuisine and ingredients. They had already prepared everything, so that we could get straight to cooking. They even arranged (and paid) for a taxi when their car was already full. Such great service! I would definitely go back next time I’m in Bali. Thank you so much chef Bagus!

Chef Bagus was entertaining, and the class was awesome! Chef Bagus's assistants and helpers on site were prompt and helpful. Definitely one of the highlights for our trip.

Great class delicious food

Smooth class great to learn about Balinese culture and global food information! I’m keen to try these recipes on my friends at home. Took my 8 year old and he had a great time even though he left the class and came back chef made him feel included!

Market visit was interesting and cooking was fun and also learnt a few things. The food we cooked and ate later for lunch was superb. We both enjoyed.

Chef Bagus is very funny, I learnt a lot and the food was delicious

Highly recommend that everyone attends Chef Bagus's cooking class. My mother and I had a fantastic time from being picked up, exploring the local market, cooking great Balinese food and enjoying our lunch. We even went back and ate yesterday and enjoyed his famous Ribs which were delicious. Don't hesitate, just book-in to his next class

I had a very fun morning joining the cooking class. It started off with the tour of old Kuta traditional market by Pak Budi - who is a very friendly and nice person. He explained a lot about Indonesian-Balinese spices and cuisine. We then proceeded to the restaurant where Chef Bagus had waited for us. Everything was very well done and organized. You probably won't get to do too much with your hands but everyone will have turns in making the different dishes throughout the day. Chef Bagus himself is a real people person who's very fun to be with for children and adults, besides of course being a great chef! We had so much food in the end and they were all very very good! I'd definitely recommend both the restaurant and the cooking class.

Brilliant Chef Bagus is a great host and a delightful personality Exceptionally professional and structured cooking course with all bases covered from the market visit step by step instructions to creating dishes that I could never believe I could create. Just a great way to spend the hours meet new friends and enjoy your own cooked fresh Asian dishes Definitely a must 10/10

Much more informative than I expected. Chef Bagus put us all at ease and kept the atmosphere light and fun. Lots of opportunity to ask questions, and to sample as we went along.

Chef bagus knows what he does. He showed us his experience with a lot of humor. Loved it! We learned so much, especially about the food we made. I would recommend this cooking class for everybody, even when you dont like to cook. Thanks for the great day!

It was an amazing experience. I must if in Bali. Our group consisted of varying degrees of interest in the class and we all enjoyed ourselves. Chef Bagus was an amazing host

Chef Bagus was just fabulous. We learnt a variety of different recipes, which after preparing we all enjoyed as lunch. He had a great sense of humour and kept the class not only entertained but interested for the whole time. He was very informative and the class was extremely hands on. . Although we had a vegetarian in our group, this was a positive as we learnt a few extra vegetarian dishes that were not normally part of the course. On a whole I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to experience real Balinese food and leave with the tools, knowledge and a recipe booklet to recreate these recipes once you get home.

Happy cooking in Chef Bagus class. Excited to taste all the Balinese food learnt in class for lunch.

Really enjoyed the whole experience. From the market tour through to Chef Bagus engaging and friendly teaching style. A great day and wonderful food

This was the most fun cooking class I ever took. We learned how to prepare traditional dishes, but also a lot about Indonesian cuisine in general. Everything we made was really delicious, and I can see myself repeating these recipes often.

Chef Bagus and his team were very professional. The market trip was an eye opener. All of the food was amazing, hopefully I can reproduce something like that when I get home

Such a fun and informative experience! Chef Bagus is super knowledgable and kept us engaged and interested from the start until the end. Everything was perfectly organized and hygienic. The food we made was beautiful, can't wait to try cooking it at home! Definitely a 5 star experience and will highly recommend it to anyone who comes to Bali.

Picked up from our hotel and taken to a local market. Explained some of the different produce that we don’t have in Australia. Chef Bagus was very entertaining, informative and included us all in the preparation of 10 traditional Balinese dishes. The experience was topped off with enjoying a yummy lunch of the dishes we’d prepared and dropped back to our hotel. Can not recommend highly enough. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

The host was a great laugh but we felt we didn't do much of our own cooking. The host would get the group to cook only a small part of the meal.

Great tour of the market, friendly guide with great local knowledge. Cooking class with chef was awesome, friendly, funny and educational. The food we made was amazing and so was the knowledge shared by the chef , both on the food and local traditions. I could not recommend this enough one of our families highlights of Bali

Chef Bagus knows what he’s doing. The tour guides are inviting and kind. The food is AMAZING!!!!!!! The flavours and spices really compliment each other. Even on the market tour we learnt so much.

Chef Bagus is well experienced and taught everything in detail keeping the class more interactive.

A great experience with chef bagus had the market tour in the morning which was really detailed taught us a lot about their culture etc, then followed by an introduction about chef bagus and his cooking experiences, the cooking class was so much fun and full of laughter.

Did the cooking class with Chef Bagus. Was Brilliant!! So much fun, laughter & knowledge learned. We cooked 10 dishes, ate plenty of food & the market tour was really informative. 100% Recommended - Great price too.

We had an awesome experience at Chef Bagus Cooking School. Learned heaps from an experienced chef and got hands on experience making each dish. Food was amazing, including the additional pork ribs after. We will most definitely be back. Highly recommended!

We went here for a cooking class and bloody hell it was good!! Very well spoken English and a good laugh I highly recommend if you are looking to do a cooking class or somewhere to eat! Top bloke !!

The day started out with a tour of a traditional Bali food market, we then headed to meet chef bagus at his restaurant(Warung Chef Bagus). What a wonderful day we had full of culture, amazing food and so many laughs!! Such a great experience, highly recommended!

I would like to thanks chef Bagus and his team for this great experience. We started by visiting a local market with one of chef bagus staff. It was very interesting to visit this local market in order to see smell and understand the spices of Balinese cooking. We were a small group of 5 people which was very good. We went to chef bagus restaurant for our cooking class. Chef bagus is very knoledgebla on Balinese cook8ng and we cooked several dishes and then we eat what we cooked it was fantastic food. Very friendly atmosphere a lot of laughs too. The food was so good at bagus restaurant that the following night we went for diner it is the best bal8nrse food in Kuta. It is a must if you go to Kuta to do these cooking classes with chef bagus but you must go also at his restaurant warung bagus in Kuta. Jean claude and Nerina 🍾👌👍😁😜🍽🍽

We are so fortunate to have discovered this class amongst several others offered in the area. Chef Bagus entertained us with his humour and skill. We made several delicious dishes that made up lunch. Thank you Chef Bagus and staff, we will certainly be back to eat in your awesome restaurant
