Bali Restaurants

Finding the best porkdish in the world in one of the biggest Moslim Countries in the world is what makes Bali and Indonesia such unique places.

Bali of course is not a moslim island. And as such one of it's most famous local dishes is "Babi Guling" aka roast pig on a spit.
They roast a WHOLE pig on an open fire like in the asterisk comics. As such a lot of restaurants offer it, even hotel buffets gives this

Favorite Dish: Just a warning: like everything in bAli...success means expansion. Sadly it doesnt mean that the quality of the food expands as well.

This year i visited Ibu Oka. This time was shown to eat at Ibu Okas House. It has turned into a quite nice restaurant. Sadly the food is not as good. Quite dissappointing in fact. The normally crisp pig skin ...was actually soft and quite hard. i guess the turnover here is not as high as iat the old place and as a result the food is not as fresh.

So if you come here....better wait in line at the old place...than head to the new place. Even though the new place is much nicer and fancier.

Terribly dissappointed

We have been to the Stadium Cafe many many times, its a fantastic sports bar located out the front of the Ramayana Hotel.

Everytime we have been there during our last 3 trips to Bali, the staff have remembered our names and what we drink.

We were there for the AFL Grand Final in 2004 and it was packed. There are 3 huge giant screens plus many more large screen televisions.

This is the perfect place to sit, have a cold drink and a snack and people watch, they make the best ice lemon teas in Bali.

Food and drinks are very reasonably priced and we highly recommend the Stadium Sport's Bar. Also try their Breaded Calamari, it's the best!!

I am not quite sure how many times I have eaten at Mozzarella, but what I am sure about is the fact that I have always enjoyed my meals. What makes this a great place for a night out is the combination of the high quality of the food, in my opinion the best restaurant staff in Bali, good live music on Saturday nights, and the reasonable prices. What more could you want? When I eat at home I usually stick to local food, so when coming to Mozzarella I really enjoy their western food, which makes for a nice change.

Favorite Dish: I liked all the dishes I have had at Mozzarella, but my favourite is probably the Grilled Mahi-Mahi, simply heavenly! On the other hand, my friends love the Spare Ribs, which they consider to be "the best ever". The Pasta Dishes also have their fans, and my local friends quite often have a Nasi Campur or Mie Goreng and are happy with that as well.

Warung Murah offers comfortable seating, or you can order a "bungkus" take away meal.

Favorite Dish: Every dish I have tried at Warung Murah has been mouth-watering, freshly cooked, and very tasty. Warung Murah does not use MSG which is rather unusual, and for me another reason to enjoy their food. The food is not overly spicy, but with various fresh condiments you can add a little fire, of you so desire!

As far as eating at a warung, you'll probably pay a little more here than average, but it's worth every rupiah.

There are a few warungs with the same name, and some don't get terribly good reviews, but I can assure you, the one I am talking about offers great food! Trust me, I live in Bali, and I eat warung food every day.

The restaurant at the Watergarden Hotel in Candi Dasa, is acknowledged to be one of the best restaurants on the East Coast of Bali. Everything comes together, quality of ingredients, presentation, flavours and last but not least, the ambience. Whether you visit for a special occasion, or simply to have a wonderful meal, you wont be disappointed.

Favorite Dish: Any of the seafood dishes on offer.

Facing the famous Kuta Beach is the time-honoured catalyst of the resort, the Hard Rock Café. Set on two floors, with nightly live bands that regularly change every three months, this place is full of younger crowds, especially during the weekend. Every two months Hard Rock invites a well-known Indonesian singer or band to play live.

Favorite Dish: Hard Rock Café serves up burgers, fries and colas in large portions.

Jimbaran is a fishing village and tourist resort in Bali, Indonesia. Located just at the south of Ngurah Rai International Airport, about 30 minutes from kuta, a three-kilometre long array of beachside cafés and a lineup of international restaurants make Jimbaran Bali’s seafood heaven a must-visit gastronomic destination.

Two main restaurant clusters dominate this culinary bazaar; the first on Kedonganan/Jimbaran Bay adjacent to Jimbaran fish market and the second on Muaya Beach, one kilometre south (on Four Seasons Road).

Favorite Dish: There are probably 40 restaurants in both areas, not to mention the hotel-based restaurants and cafés. If you are adventurous with your appetite, this is the only place that can abate your craving for seafood dishes.

Jimbaran lies on the 'neck' of the southern peninsula in Bali and is widely known for the fresh seafood kiosks that are scattered along the beach. Diners select the live seafood that they wish to eat, and it is immediately prepared, generally grilled over a fire of coconut husks rather than charcoal.

Wali Warung is a nice cosy little resturang in legian. The food is indonesian with some western option. it is absolutely delicious. they do seafoodplatters and duck upon request a must to try. the staf is so friendly with their beautiful smiles. the owner wich is Lisa a swedish girl and her husband Wayan, balinese are so nice always ask if your are ok and if the meal was good. dont miss to check out the bathroom its clean.the whole place is so clean you really feel good to sit and have a meal in this nice atmosphere. a must to try. You will not get disapointed. In high season booking is nessesary.

Favorite Dish: my favourite dish is Ikan goreng Jahe, ginger fish. snapper in ginger sauce with vegetables. its just the best. try for your self.
