Restaurants in Bali
31 businesses in Bali
Bali's restaurant scene is one of the most diverse and exciting in Southeast Asia, shaped by the island's massive international expat and tourist population alongside a deeply rooted local culinary tradition. Whether you're craving authentic Balinese babi guling (suckling pig), Japanese omakase, wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, or a raw vegan bowl, you'll find it within a short ride. Seminyak and Canggu lead for international cuisine variety and food-scene credentials, while Ubud is particularly strong for health-conscious and vegetarian options. Local warung meals remain a steal at Rp 20,000–40,000 ($1.30–$2.50), while mid-range expat-oriented restaurants in Seminyak run Rp 150,000–400,000 ($10–$25) per person. Japanese fusion spots like Barishi Jimbaran and diverse establishments like LAOBAN have built strong reputations within the expat community. For the most up-to-date dining recommendations, expat Facebook groups and local food bloggers are more reliable than mainstream review platforms.

Expat tips for Restaurants in Bali
Eat Where Locals Eat for Authentic Value +
The most memorable and affordable Balinese food is served at simple warungs and family restaurants that cater to locals, not tourists. Ask your driver, landlord, or Balinese neighbours for their personal lunch favourites — you'll rarely be disappointed.
Explore Beyond Seminyak and Canggu +
The tourist corridors of Seminyak and Canggu get most of the attention, but Sanur has a quieter, more established dining scene with excellent seafood, and Jimbaran's beachfront fish warungs are a Bali dining institution worth the trip.
Book Popular Restaurants on Weekends +
Bali's most popular expat dining spots — especially in Seminyak and Canggu — fill up fast on Friday and Saturday evenings. Calling ahead or using platforms like Table.App Bali to reserve a table prevents a frustrating wait or missed experience.
