Sanur, Denpasar 🌊
Ubud, Gianyar 🌿
Sanur, Denpasar 🌊
My in-laws live in Sanur, so this is basically my neighborhood in Bali 😄 I’ve eaten my way through this area more times than I can count. Sanur is relaxed, less touristy, and has some of the best food in Bali if you know where to look. These are the...
The most famous Italian restaurant in Sanur and honestly one of the best in Bali. Handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, and their homemade gelato is legendary. The garden setting at night is so romantic. A must-visit.
Massimo Italian Restaurant
This one is iconic, my family favourite. A tiny warung that’s been serving the same fried fish with soup since 1941. Always a queue but 100% worth it. This is Bali’s most famous local seafood spot, don’t leave Sanur without eating here.
Warung Mak Beng
A massive Indonesian restaurant with a gift shop, great for groups and families. Huge menu, lively atmosphere, and very Instagram-worthy interior. Good for when you can’t agree on what to eat because they have everything!
The HUB Bali
The BBQ pork ribs here are legendary across all of Bali. Casual, loud, fun, and those ribs are worth every single calorie. A Bali institution.
Naughty Nuri’s Warung, Sanur
One of Sanur’s hidden gems. Beautiful traditional Joglo building, cozy atmosphere, great food. Feels like a local secret that tourists haven’t fully discovered yet. Go before everyone finds out
Bucu Sanur
Perfect for a relaxed lunch or casual dinner. Great vibes, good food, very chill Sanur energy. One of those places you end up staying longer than planned. My fav is their baramundi!
Sala Bistro Sanur
No frills, all flavor. This is where locals eat. Simple, authentic Balinese food at incredibly reasonable prices. The kind of place that reminds you why Bali food is so good.
Warung Adi Nasi Ayam Bali
Best rating in Sanur for a reason! Right at the beach, outdoor seating, live music and great cocktails. Perfect for sunset drinks and dinner. The vibe here is unmatched.
Sand Beach Bar & Restaurant - Icon Bali Mall
Italian beachfront dining right at Icon Bali. Fresh pasta, great pizza, beautiful beach views. Pairs perfectly with a walk along the Sanur boardwalk after dinner.
L’Osteria Pizza e Cucina Icon Bali Sanur
Ubud, Gianyar 🌿
Ubud is where Bali’s soul is, and the food scene reflects that. Surrounded by rice terraces and jungle, the restaurants here range from legendary local warungs to world-class fine dining. If you eat anywhere seriously in Bali, eat in Ubud.
The most iconic duck restaurant in Bali, crispy fried duck surrounded by rice terraces. The setting alone is worth the visit. Order the famous crispy duck, sit outside, and just soak in the Ubud vibes. A non-negotiable Ubud experience.
Bebek Bengil Ubud
Another legendary duck spot but with an incredible rice terrace view. More relaxed and local feeling than Dirty Duck. The duck is tender, the setting is stunning, and the prices are very reasonable for what you get.
Bebek Tepi Sawah (@bebektepisawah) · Ubud
Ubud’s favorite all-day breakfast and brunch spot. Great coffee, beautiful healthy bowls, and the kind of place you end up spending half your morning at. Very popular with families, kids menu is great too!
Milk & Madu Ubud
Made famous by Anthony Bourdain and for very good reason. Babi guling (Balinese suckling pig) is a ceremonial dish and Bu Oka does it better than anyone. Get there early because they sell out fast. This is a Bali bucket list meal
Warung Babi Guling Ibu Oka 3
A Ubud institution for healthy eating. Great smoothie bowls, fresh juices, and wholesome meals in a relaxed garden setting. Perfect after a morning yoga class or temple visit. Very popular with the wellness crowd.
KAFE
Hidden in a lush garden in the heart of Ubud. Beautiful setting, great Indonesian and Western menu, very romantic for dinner. One of those restaurants that feels like a secret garden, the kind of place you want to bring people to impress them.
Kebun Bistro
If you want to understand the depth of Indonesian cuisine, eat here. Nusantara celebrates regional Indonesian dishes from across the archipelago, ingredients you’ve never heard of, flavors you’ll never forget. One of the best dining experiences in al...
Nusantara by Locavore Group
Ubud’s chicest restaurant right now. Italian-inspired menu, beautiful interior, great natural wines. The kind of place that feels very cool without trying too hard. Perfect for date night or a special girls dinner.
Donna
A local favorite that most tourists walk right past, which means you should definitely stop in. Simple, authentic, incredibly delicious. The kind of warung that reminds you the best food in Bali doesn’t always come with a fancy menu.
