French Kiss became our rescue option for New Year’s Eve after our first choice, Gabriel, closed abruptly and without warning.
The concept is interesting: a “tropical French fusion” approach with creative twists on classic French dishes. The restaurant itself is very small, spread over two floors. The ground floor functions as a bar-restaurant where you can eat at the counter, while the upper floor has a few tables and a small, pleasant balcony overlooking the street. We booked a table for two on that balcony.
For starters, my wife chose one of her favorite dishes — snails — while I went for the onion soup. For mains, I ordered duck magret, and my wife chose barramundi.
If there is one thing French Kiss cannot be criticized for, it is trying very hard to be creative. Unfortunately, for us, that creativity consistently missed the mark.
The snails were served without their shells. Visually, this already takes away part of the appeal, and while this may be subjective, we came expecting something closer to the traditional presentation. More importantly, they were prepared with a sweet profile, whereas we were craving the classic garlic-butter flavor.
The onion soup followed the same creative path. It was served in a flat metal pan and looked more like an onion chutney than a soup. Three sizeable pieces of sourdough bread were provided to soak up the soup — except there was very little liquid to soak up. Only after the meal did I realize the menu mentioned aged Comté cheese; it was there, but the taste was barely noticeable.
The biggest disappointment came with the duck magret. Magret is, in my opinion, one of the most delicate meats and is best enjoyed rosé or slightly medium-rare. To be fair, the duck itself was good — and in Indonesia, finding decent magret is not a given. Unfortunately, it was served on a bed of butternut and drowned in a red-fruit jelly. The strong sweetness completely overpowered the natural flavor of the duck. I finished the dish, but it was disappointing.
My wife ate her barramundi, and I tasted it as well. It was edible, but not particularly memorable or flavorful.
We ended with two desserts: a crème brûlée and a “Paris-Ubud,” shaped like a sweet burger. Both were far too sweet. In the Paris-Ubud dessert, I was still searching for the raspberries that were supposed to be there.
In the end, there wasn’t a single dish that didn’t disappoint us. We couldn’t help wondering whether the chef was present that evening. The food felt like it suffered from too many ideas at once, as if someone in the kitchen was trying hard to prove themselves and overshot completely.
We ordered a bottle of Côtes-du-Rhône, choosing it because we like Syrah. The wine was disappointing as well — not faulty, just average — which is not the restaurant’s fault, but it didn’t help the overall experience.
So, we didn’t end 2025 with a bang — more with a blimp.

We decided to have last Ubud dinner in here it is simply looks very nice casual style french ( and Italian ) and has air conditioned( I am so sick of no wall restaurants in Bali need to worry about bugs and heat all the time ) .
Staff people are not very professionally trained but still they are very polite and casually nice to talk with.
I was not so hungry so it was enough for me with one salad and two entree( my hubby had his main and dolce ). I loved Italian ham salad with Bree cheese. And someone recommended french onion soup it was very delicious but pepper was too strong so personally I like more mild onion soup.
About mussels, it was too oily so if you make bread crumbs bit more bigger, not like sandy, you can avoid to use too much oil. For that size of mussels, tiny little bit butter is enough.
If I could find here earlier, I was going to come here more often to find my favourite . Inside of restaurant is very cute and cosy and it was wonderful that I did not have to wipe my face because of sweat all the time with my hand towel.
Thank you for nice dinner.

I had a lovely dining experience at French Kiss. The pasta was delicious and perfectly cooked, and I even received a complimentary birthday cake, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. The staff were genuinely kind and friendly, making the visit feel warm and welcoming.
The place is quite small, but cozy — it really gives off the vibe of an authentic French bistro. Overall, a charming spot with great food and wonderful service. I’d definitely come back!

⭐ 9/10 – A charming French spot with rare drinks and delicious bites
Being in Ubud means you naturally end up visiting a lot of French restaurants, I don’t know why, but there are so many here. French Kiss was on my list specifically because I wanted to come for L’apéro, and of course, I had to order a Kir Royale.
It’s honestly so hard to find this drink in Indonesia. Even in Jakarta, I’ve only found one bistro that serves a proper Kir Royale, so I was really impressed that French Kiss actually has it on the menu.
The taste was a bit different from what I’ve had before, but still very pleasant and interesting, especially paired with their charcuterie cold cuts. Everything we ordered was delicious.
The servers were also incredibly friendly. They chatted with us a few times and made the experience feel warm and welcoming.
I’ll definitely come back to try more of their dishes.

Adorable little spot to share a fun french dinner! We sat upstairs on the balcony and the atmosphere had us stay there for hours; the night air was cooling, you can hear live music and the lighting is so warm and inviting. The staff were also super friendly and attentive. For the food, the savouries were perfect. They were super flavourful and perfect to snack on while yapping away with your partner. Personally, while I appreciated the happy hour discount at the time, their recommended cocktails were not very appetising and I did not enjoy them at all but alcohol can be a tricky thing so this could just be my personal taste. That said, their signature French Kiss dessert left much to be desired. The chocolate was quite bitter and the cherries used both in and as a coating tasted more like medicine than fresh fruit, so I would not order this again especially as someone with a sweet tooth who was particularly looking forward to this fun looking dessert.
