Food and Dining in Bali - Bali travel guide - Go Guides

Dining in Bali comes in various forms, from food stalls (known locally as warung) that serve traditional and local fare to fine-dining restaurants specialising in fusion and international dishes. The island is an international gathering place, so it’s no surprise to see a wide range of options to suit every palate and budget level.

Bali has an exciting culinary scene – one that’s consistently changing. Head to Jimbaran for beachfront cafes that specialise in fresh seafood, or Ubud for hippy cafes serving organic and vegan-friendly dishes, and Kuta for award-winning international restaurants. There’ll always be a new spot to try out each time you return to this tropical getaway.
