Best Beach Restaurant's & Rooftop Bars You Must Visit In Bali

Bali is Indonesia’s favourite poster boy for tourism; it is the most popular tourist spot in the country and it is understandable why visitors flock there every so often for the beaches, clubbing, and cultural sights. And now, it is safe to say that Bali is also one of Asia’s most vibrant dining destinations where you can get not just good local Indonesian food, but also fine dining restaurants that are of international standards & so many new venues popping up every week, the island is now saturated with some of the world's most trend-setting restaurants. Keeping up to date with all of the new and amazing venues is hard work so we decided to create a comprehensive list of the best Bali Restaurants for you!

You seriously have not lived until you have tucked into a freshly made plate of delicious Nasi Goreng or tried some mouth-watering Babi Guling!

We thought it would be a great (and delicious) adventure to hunt down all the restaurants and warungs serving the best local food.

The crowds, the service, the view, the music and also the foods! Top notch!

Moving up north from the Bukit peninsula, Finn’s Beach Club has established itself quite rapidly among the local and tourist crowd. You’ll have a hard time choosing your favourite spot!

Absolute beachfront in front of the famous Berawa surf break, but only 10 minutes from Seminyak, visitors to Finns can laze away the day in the sun from the comfort of single and double day beds on a white sand beach or swim in a stunning 30 metre infinity edge pool with swim up pool bar (and underwater speakers).
