The restaurant is named after the
Balinese girl whose dark complexion and captivating dance won the heart of a

later became the beloved wife and principal muse of the painter, the eccentric
Don Antonio Blanco, whose works have been collected by famous people, including
Michael Jackson and Prince Norodom Sihanouk.
Both Blanco and Rondji have passed
away, but their love story can still be found lingering in the ambience of the
restaurant, and in it is menu.
Balinese food and Spanish cuisine
are offered in a rich variety of dishes. Lunak
pelalah (Spicy grilled seafood), lawar
kuwir (Wild Duck Salad), and snail salad and betutu (Grilled duck), are served in Balinese style.
Meanwhile, roasted duck, rabbit and
Catalonian pumpkin soup are served in Spanish style. Seats are available for
more than 120 people. Groups or company gatherings are welcome to visit.

tropical garden and enjoy the great collection of the late Blanco’s paintings
in the museum if you visit Rondji.
Mario Blanco and his siblings built
the restaurant in homage to their lovely mother, Ni Rondji. The building is set
in the family compound.
“The presence of the Blanco
Renaissance Museum and the Rondji restaurant is a symbol of love, life, union
and memories”, Mario said.
He recalled that his late mother was
an excellent chef and that her ayam pedas Penestanan (Ubud style slow-cooked
chicken in chilli) and balung nangka
(braised pork ribs with young jackfruit) were his father’s favourite foods.
“I think we will soon include these
on the menu.”
