Australian Monique Robson, spent 13 years immersed in the exotic and sophisticated environment of Dubai before moving to Bali where her obsession of iconic design elements of Morocco and healthy Middle Eastern inspired food was poured into the opening Cous Cous cafe. Mosaic tiled walls and floors, wooden latticework, open-air courtyards, rich fabrics and distinctive ceilings can be seen throughout the café which offers a Moroccan inspired menu of vegetarian dishes, super healthy libations, sweet treats and freshly roasted organic coffee. Located in front of the chic and stylish Pulau Boutique Villas, Cous Cous offers a central open air terrace with chunky communal tables, cushioned benches and a garden nook overlooking the lush green rice fields of Umalas
The air-conditioned interior space is distinguished by a custom painted enamel mandala on the polished floors, mirrored ceilings and a hand painted mosaic tile wall. Banquette seating and a corner lounge echo elements of the rich and intricate Arabic designs Monique explored and absorbed during her gastronomic and cultural pursuits in the fascinating Gulf emirate.
