A real institution in Kuta, this restaurant is so popular that it is imperative to reserve a table, especially in high season. The hostess is Zenok, the Balinese woman who created the first warung for tourists in the 1960s. We dine in a subdued light, pleasantly separated from the eyes of the curious. On the other hand, in the garden, the tables are a bit on top of each other.

Since its creation, the restaurant has expanded to include a hotel. Do not hesitate to combine two of the best establishments in Bali!

In addition to a few rental rooms, Tirta Sari has an open restaurant serving local cuisine with fish arriving daily. Barbecued fish is highly recommended. A pretty, colorful boat at the entrance, designed to arouse curiosity, invites diners to step inside and dine in the garden. The experience is a success, with a carefully prepared plate decorated with banana leaves. Choose the quieter rooms near the pool.

Enjoy exquisite grilled calamari as a starter, some of the best around, served in small portions but accompanied by an excellent mix of sauces. For fans of Indonesian cuisine, Babi Guling is a must. The restaurant also offers wood-fired pizzas, fresh homemade pasta and a selection of Indonesian dishes. Enjoy a relaxing setting with a magnificent sea-facing garden, sun loungers and bean bags. For the ultimate dining experience, reserve one of the two garden-side tables.

A good address offering excellent value for money. Very good, professional and welcoming service.

Le Mozaïc, recognized as one of the world's finest tables, offers a unique gastronomic experience under the direction of chef Chris Salans, trained at the Cordon Bleu institute. After honing his skills in Michelin-starred restaurants in France and abroad, he fell in love with Bali, where he has now lived since 1995. He magnifies local products by fusing Balinese flavors with Western techniques. This fresh and inspiring table promises an unforgettable culinary journey. You're bound to be won over!

The cuisine of Philippe, a French expatriate for several years, blends different flavours from South-East Asia. It is made from fresh products that he prepares with the greatest finesse.

The restaurant overlooks the street, the setting is very nice and what a welcome! The waitresses are charming, smiling and do not hesitate to say a few words in French. Very good desserts.

A pretty little address covered where it's good to stop on the way to undress and snack a piece. Service is effective, and well prepared food. Choose from the bottom of the room, quieter.

In the center of Lipah, a huge hut on the side of the road is held by rockers surfers Balinese very cool, you can eat an Indonesian dish or a burger. Just for the setting, it's worth coming to the Wawa Wewe I! In particular, from Wednesday to Saturday night, there is the possibility to come and listen to live music in a relaxed atmosphere. The address to go out in Amed! Good to know: rather well located in Amed, the place also proposes some simple but comfortable and economic rooms.

A chic and tasteful restaurant, ideal for a cocktail in mind while watching the sun disappearing on the horizon. Romantic dinner with candlelight. The German chef offers surprising culinary delights (including a high-quality 350 000-Amp tasting menu). Recommended.

With excellent fresh fruit juices, a top-notch breakfast formula and croissants made just like at home, Monsieur Spoon will make you feel nostalgic for a France already far away! Since 2012, this family-run French bakery has been offering bread, pastries and cakes, each one tastier than the last. Vegetarians will appreciate the quinoa salads, well served and prepared with local products. We also recommend the appetizing sandwiches (served in real baguettes) and the cordon bleu, one of the best on the island!

You can't miss this little bamboo corner with its few terrace tables. He is always full of surfers and backpackers looking for refuge for three times nothing. From steak steak to Indonesian pizza or classic rice, there are all tastes. From time to time promotions are displayed on an array. It is advisable to come early to have a place.

Skewers and grills are served on a small artisan table barbecue (clay) and, rare apart from Jimbaran, coconut hulls serve as fuel. Children's dance show Saturday evening. Very reasonable price and friendly atmosphere.

The decoration is modern, intimate and minimalist, and the service is impeccable. The semi-gastronomic table offers quite reasonable prices: Duck confit with balinese sauce, lobster risotto, orange duck revisited to Indonesian… Anyway, an interesting address if you go through Sanur!
