List of good Restaurants in Bali

Over the past decade, Seminyak has developed a world-class dining scene. If you want to splurge on one very special dinner while you are in Bali, look no further than the higher and option in Seminyak. Price are high by Bali standards but on an international scale still good value for the highest quality of food and dining environment.

Finally–establishments in Bali have great momentum. They move fast and fade fast. We find ourselves there 2 or 3 time every year for both business and pleasure and it is amazing how new place sprout and favorites wither. Likewise menus are changed and wine vanishes. So if any of the recommendations we have listed here are either closed or not up to expectations we apologize in advance and ask that you let us know so we can update this information.
