Exactly how many restaurants are in Bali is a mystery, as there seems to be at least 6 restaurants on every corner. There are restaurants at every price point and just about every possible cuisine, including Indonesian, French, Australian, Mexican & Cuban. Some restaurants stay consistently good but some go from awe inspiring to jaw droppingly bad just by a change of management or chef as nothing is forever in Bali.
Seafood dominates and some of it astonishingly good, although prices are starting to creep up. A Bali first timer must visit Jimbaran bay at sunset for seafood on the beach. It’s a pretty damn nice way to end a day with a cold beer, perfectly cooked prawns, lobster or fish and an unbelievable sunset. I’m sure every one has their favourite restaurant there, but in truth they all serve pretty much the same, so just stroll around and pick one you like the look of.
Now to our real favourites and some our not so favourites:
- Ma Joly – On the beach in Tuban or South Kuta, stunning views at sunset and incredibly well priced, by Australian standards.
- La Lucciola - One of our all time favourites almost a prefect tropical restaurant
- Sarong – Asian street food meets western glamour, a must visit for some of the most outstanding fusion cuisine in Asia.
- Kayu Manis – An absolute must visit in the back streets of Sanur, reservations are a must as it only has about 8 tables. Brilliant fusion food and i would give it 8/10
- Queens of India – Seminyak & Tuban, consistently good Indian food. We always the Queens on the must visit list.
The above list is not exhaustive and if you looking for a good web site to track down a restaurant try http://www.balieats.com/
Now for the restaurants that we don’t particularly like
- Indonational – Basic restaurant that is over rated, has uninspiring food and not much to really recommend it other than it’s cheap. Some people rave about it but for love nor money we can’t figure out why.
- Pantai Restaurant – Read Indonational
