Our Favourite Restaurants

Warung Asia - Great thai food in a quite backstreet in Seminyak. Very reasonably priced with a cool beachside ambience this should be high on anyones eat list. Dont miss the fish curry or pad thai, and wash it down with a strawberry juice. For dessert the ice delima is all time. It looks a bit suss but tastes heavenly.

Warung Sobat - All time food joint on Batu Belig, whose reputation speaks for itself. Always packed to capacity Sobat is famous for its great food and ridiculously cheap prices. On any given night expats and locals will be enjoying the delights of this warung. I cant go past the beef kebabs or sizzling steak. Both are absolutely delicious and embarrasingly cheap. They also do italian and indonesian food of equally high quality. Very few tourists know of this well kept secret spot.

Cafe Bali - The hottest new restaurant on the scene, this is not your usual Bali style joint. With a really stylish and eclectic decor, a great European/Asian menu, super cool wait staff and its fair share of beautiful patrons, CB is more of a night out than a meal. You cant go past the kick-ass cocktails (the frozen margarita is especially exciting) and the food never misses the mark. I love sharing the 'mixed dessert for two' with my beautiful girlfriend, and then kicking on at the bar for a few digestifs and a good old chat.

Trattoria - Simple Italian fare at its best. The endless crowds are testament to the food, with pizza and pasta the main act. The vibe is frenetic with the dozens of staff running around trying to marry pizza with persons, with the odd bottle of plonk to boot. The desserts are worth saving some room for with the creme brulle and tiramisu a personal fave.

Ocha's Warung - An upmarket warung right on the corner of Jalan Legian and Seminyak Rd (Dhyana Pura) that serves good local food minus the dreaded MSG. Breakfast is good with imported coffee squeezed out of a real coffee machine and eggs done just they way you like em. To round it out they offer free wi-fi if you bring your own compy. Due to its location, price and general goodness, there is no better place to lunch when you are on a serious shopping mission.
