Sanur Restaurants
February 22, 2026Staying at Hyatt Regency Sanur Bali? You’re in one of the best spots on the island for food. Sanur is quiet and relaxed, with great dining options just a short walk away. From beachfront pizza to high-quality steaks, Cantonese dim sum, Mexican tacos, and classic Japanese, everything is easy to reach on foot. Below are the top picks within walking distance, with food types, why they’re worth it, and exact directions from the hotel entrance.Inside Hyatt Regency Sanur
Omang OmangAll-day dining restaurant inside the hotel. Serves modern Indonesian and international dishes. Breakfast buffets, lunch, and dinner with fresh seafood, local curries, and Western options. Convenient if you want to stay on-property.
PizzariaBeachfront pizzeria right at the hotel. Specializes in wood-fired pizzas with classic toppings and creative twists. I’ve eaten here multiple times – crust is thin and crispy, flavours spot-on. Prices are higher than street spots, but the location (sand under your feet, ocean view) makes it worth it. Easy stumble back to your room.

January 25, 2026My Go-To Japanese Fix in Sanur, Bali!
Since opening in 2015, Soya has been a standout on Jalan Danau Tamblingan — right next to Starbucks, impossible to miss. It’s hands-down one of the best Japanese spots in Sanur, serving a huge range of traditional dishes with some creative twists, all in a cozy, air-conditioned interior decked with lovely Japanese art on the walls. Outside smoking area has comfy tables too. Free WiFi (just ask for the password) is a nice bonus for travelers.

Every trip to Sanur, I make at least one pilgrimage here to scratch that Japanese food itch — and it never disappoints.On my latest lunch visit, the menu was overwhelming in the best way: Konichiwa Bento Box loaded with seafood tempura, chicken teriyaki, sashimi, sweet omelette, rice, miso soup, pickles, and ice cream dessert; rich curry udon; massive sushi/sashimi platters. But I kept it light with small entrees:
Agedashi Tofu — silky soft tofu in warm dashi broth, crispy exterior, perfect balance.
Chicken Yakitori Skewers — juicy, grilled with that smoky-sweet tare glaze.
Age Ravioli — intriguing deep-fried cheese & crab ‘ravioli’ (more like crispy wontons) topped with tobiko and spicy mayo. Crab was tasty, but a tad over-crispy and light on flavor — fun experiment though!
Chicken Yakitori at Soya Cafe in Sanur

Other visits? Mind-blowing. Tuna & salmon sushi was unexpectedly sensational — perfect vinegared rice, ultra-fresh fish slices. Last time, their ramen blew me away: deep, slow-cooked broth with incredible depth, silky noodles, generous toppings. Serious ramen game in Bali!
Soya Japanese’s signature ramen – comforting, flavorful broth with perfectly cooked noodles and classic toppings. A top Japanese comfort food pick in Sanur, Bali
Age Ravioli at Soya Cafe Restaurant Sanur
Overall, Soya delivers authentic, flavorful Japanese food with friendly service and great value. I’ll be back in March 2026 craving more — eyeing these menu highlights:
Karaage (crispy fried chicken) – tender inside, golden crunch outside, addictive seasoning.
Gyoza (pan-fried dumplings) – juicy pork or veggie, crispy bottoms, soy-vinegar dip perfection.
Buta Kakuni (braised pork belly) – melt-in-mouth tender, sweet-savory glaze.
Salmon Steak or Teriyaki – fresh, flaky salmon grilled or glazed to juicy excellence.
Sushi/Sashimi Platter – fresh tuna, salmon, and more for sharing or indulgence.

January 25, 2026Mozza Restaurant in Sanur has stolen my heart – officially my #1 spot in Bali right now! Pronounced ‘Motza’ (like mozzarella), this fine-dining gem blends killer Western dishes with authentic Indonesian flavours, all served with seriously warm, top-tier hospitality. Visited twice on my recent trip and can’t wait to return in March 2026!
First visit: Smokey BBQ Pork Ribs (250k IDR / ~A$25) – fall-off-the-bone tender, tangy BBQ sauce perfection, paired with crispy potato wedges + a side of grilled asparagus. Dessert? Their Tiramisu was next-level: layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, rich mascarpone cream whipped to silky perfection, dusted with cocoa, and just the right boozy kick. Pure Italian bliss in Bali!

Second visit: Went for the Rib Eye steak (195k IDR / ~A$19.50) – imported Aussie beef at that price? Skeptical at first, but it delivered big time. Juicy, flavour-packed (a bit fatty, but I trimmed it and loved every bite). Finished with the absolute showstopper: Chocolate Lava Cake (45k IDR / A$4.50) – warm, gooey centre oozing rich dark chocolate, paired with vanilla ice cream. Better than the tiramisu… I’ll be ordering this every time!

Bonus: Their all-day Buy 1 Get 1 Free cocktail menu (18 options!) is a steal – I stuck with my fave Mojito (fresh mint, lime, rum perfection), but they’ve got Daiquiris, Margaritas, Mai Tais, Cosmos, Lychee Martinis, Long Island Iced Teas, and more.

Bebek Crispy (135k / A$13.50) – Bali’s iconic crispy duck with sambal matah, sambal goreng, sambal ulek + rice & veg
Premium Mozza Burger (125k / A$12.50) – juicy beef patty, mozzarella, bacon, caramelised onion
Roasted Pork Belly (150k / A$15) – crispy skin, mashed potato, rocket, honey glaze

May 3, 2024Andaz Bali is an awesome 5 star resort in the heart of Sanur Bali. Andaz itself has some excellent restaurants located within the resort including Firefox Steakhouse, Fishermans Club Restaurant right at the front of the resort, Blue Oven Italian Restaurant and Wok Wok Restaurant, where breakfast is served.
So what if you want to get outside of the resort for something to eat? Well there are loads of great restaruatns nearby to the Andaz Resort. Here are some of the closest and most recommended restaurants within less than 10 minutes walk from the Andaz Bali Resort:
Naga Eight Chinese Restaurant
Braised beef in black pepper sauce at Naga Eight Chinese Restaurant Sanur
Located directly across the road from the main entrance to the Andaz Bali Resort, this is not only the closest restaurant but also what I think as the best Cantonese / Chinese restaurant in Sanur, called Naga Eight. I’ve eaten here many times and always had a lovely meal. The food is top quality and the service is excellent. I highly recommend the food at Naga Eight Chinese Restaurant.
Read more about Naga Eight Chinese Restaurant
Kuu Japanese Restaurant
Sushi at Kuu Japanese Restaurant Sanur
Just 2 minutes walk from the front of the Andaz Bali resort (turn to the right) is the excellent Kuu Japanese Restaurant. This restaurant is located within the Maya 5 Star Resort, so prices are a bit higher than normal but the food and service is excellent. I’ve had a few meals in Kuu and enjoy their sushi, chicken katsu and their gyoza dumplings.

Jalapeno Mexican Restaurant
Tasty tacos at Jalapeno Mexican Restaurant in Sanur Bali
Out the front of the Andaz, turn to your left, walk past the Hyatt Regency Hotel, and at the start of the shops in the southern area of Sanur you will find the Mexican Restaurant called Japaleno. This is run by a local Balinese guy who used to work in cruise ships in Mexico. He picked up a few cooking tips during his time in Mexico, he came back to Bali and opened this awesome restaurnat. I can highly recommend the Tacos here at Jalapeno Mexican Restaurant.
Read more about the Tasty Tacos at Jalapeno Mexican Restaurant.
Ganesha Indian Restaurant
Butter chicken at Ganesha Indian restaurant in Sanur
Just a little bit further along from Jalapeno Mexican Restaurant, on the opposite side of the road, you will find Ganesha Indian Restaurant which I think serves up the best Indian food in Sanur. There are a few different Indian restaurants in Sanur but I had asked some local friends and expats, and they all said that Ganesha was the best. I went in for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food here. The walk from the Andaz Resort to Ganesha will take around 8 minutes.
Read more about Ganesah Indian Restaurant in Sanur
Retro Kitchen and Bar
English Breakfast at Retro Kitchen Sanur
This is the further restaurant we are going to recommend from the Andaz Resort. This is a full 10 minutes walk. I recommend this place due to their excellent big English Breakfast. If you want to skip the excellent breakfast at Wok Wok in the resort, and go for a big greasy fry up breakfast, then I highly recommend the Retro Kitchen and Bar. Out the front of Andaz, turn to your right and you will find Retro Kitchen on the other side of the road.

January 2, 2023Fire Fox is a high class, fine dining steak house, located within the Andaz Bali Resort in Sanur. This restaurant is not cheap! The cheapest steak is 780,000Rp which is around A$75 so if you go in and have a few drinks and a steak then you are looking at over A$100 per person for meal. If you got the cash, then I highly recommend it.
Fire Fox Steak Restaurant at Andaz Bali Resort Sanur
All the steaks at Fire Fox are imported from Australia, all Australian Pure Black grass fed Angus beef MS5+ which means it has excellent fat marbling through the meat which makes it extra tasty!
I was staying at Andaz Resort in July 2022 and went in to try the meat at this high class steak restaurant. My friend and I shared 1 Tenderloin steak 200 grams which cost 1,200,000Rp, that is close to $120 for a steak! That is more expensive than Sydney prices but the steak was DELICIOUS! Such an excellent cut of meat and cooked to perfection.
Tenderloin Steak at Fire Fox Restaurant Sanur
We also shared the Whiskey BBQ Pork Ribs 500 grams at 300,000 Rp (almost A$30). These were delicious. Nice soft pork meat which fell off the bone. The Whiskey BBQ glazed made the ribs nice and sticky, a little bit sweet but not too much to spoil the succulent pork meat.
Whiskey BBQ Pork Ribs at Fire Fox Restaurant Sanur
Each order of the main menu comes with a set of Foxy Side Dishes which loaded up our table with dishes like Broccoli salad, Potato salad, Korean kimchi, egg salad and a big bowl of rice (unsual to get rice at a steak restaurant but TII – This Is Indonesia!). The 8 side dishes made this a big meal. We couldn’t finish all the side dishes and were full at the end of the meal so didn’t try dessert.
Side dishes at Fire Fox Restaurant Sanur
They also brough out an appertizer complimentary, of a Egg Custard which was supposed to contain crab meat but we could not taste or detect any crab meat in this. Just a nice silky egg custard.
Egg Custard Appetizer at Fire Fox Grill Restaurant Sanur
So Cheap Charlies stay away. With quite a few beers, I think I paid close to A$250 for a meal for 2! That could have bought us more than 10 meals at a local Balinese Restaurant but we did thoroughly enjoy the excellent steak here at Fire Fox.
See the menu as of July 2022. I would say they change their menu throughout the year but gives you an indication of the food available, which is just steak, ribs and chicken.

September 4, 2022I had searched Google for where to get a Full English Breakfast in Sanur Bali. While there are plenty of cafes in Sanur that serve breakfast, not many of them do a Full English Breakfast. I found Retro Kitchen which serves an All Day Full English Breakfast. I went in to try their English Breakfast and was very impressed.
Full English Breakfast at Retro Kitchen Sanur
Retro Kitchen is located on the main road of Sanur, Jalan Danuu Tamblingan, just down from the heart of Sanur. This is a large restaurant which serves a range of food including Indonesian Food, Pizza, Pasta and other cafe style food. They have a full breakfast menu (see below) but I came to try the Full English Breakfast which is only 65KRp, which just over A$6.
Breakfast Menu at Retro Kitchen Sanur
The Full English Breakfast at Retro Kitchen comes with 2 eggs any style, grilled English sausage, crispy bacon, grilled tomato, hash brown, sautéed mushroom, baked beans and toast with butter and jam. For an extra 20KRp I got a glass of orange juice and a coffee included with the meal.

This is a nice sized meal for someone with a big appetite. I had skipped breakfast and had this as an early lunch and managed to polish it all off and give 2 big thumbs up for a delicious English Breakfast.

September 4, 2022There are a few good Italian restaurants in Sanur serving good pizza, I have eaten at many of them but finally found the best pizza in Sanur. Located in the southern section of Sanur, on Jalan Danau Poso is Pizza ‘N Gooo, a small Italian pizzeria serving excellent pizza. This is owned by an Italian guy who serves up traditional Italian pizza by the slice or full sized pizza. These are not your standard round pizzas but a rectangle pizza with a crispy base and just a few toppings.
Pizza N Gooo Sanur Bali
I had a local expat tell me that the best pizza in Sanur is at Pizza ‘N Gooo so i went in to try it and I agree with him that this is the best pizza in Sanur. I have been coming to Sanur for more than 20 years and tried most of the Italian restaurants and usually eat pizza, so I have given most a go.
Best Pizza in Sanur at Pizza N Gooo
Pizza ‘N Gooo serve what they call traditional Roman style pizza. Now I have been to Rome and ate pizza everyday there for 2 weeks. While I think Roman pizza is a bit different from what is served here, I do think this is excellent pizza. The base for their pizza is like a foccacia base but it is thin and very crispy. They serve the pizza by the slice (20KRp), by the Pinsa which is like a personal pizza (50KRp) or a Tray which is good for a family to share (135KRp).

Pizza Prices at Pizza N Gooo
I had a Pinsa pizza with a Milano toppings which has a choice of beef or pork salami, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and olive oil. I had the pork salami which was delicious. This was just under A$5 so a great price for such a tasty pizza. See the full pizza menu:

July 13, 2022There are a few Indian restaurants in Sanur Bali though I was recommended by 3 different locals that the best Indian food served in Sanur was at Ganesha ek Sanskriti Indian Restaurant. I went in to try their food and it is pretty damn good.
Best Indian Food in Sanur Bali
Ganesha is located in the southern section of Sanur, on the main road Jalan Danau Tamblingan. They serve a range of South Indian and North Indian cuisine. They have a traditional clay Tandoor oven for making excellent tandoori food.

Both were very tasty. Excellent naan bread which was great for dipping in the thick and spicy butter chicken gravy. The curry had some nice plump pieces of chicken and had a nice spicy kick to it.

July 2, 2022Blue Oven Restaurant is located within the Andaz Bali Resort in Sanur Beach Bali. It is listed as a Mediterranean Restaurant though I would say the items on the menu aer predominately Italian. This is a fine dining restaurant within a 5 star restaurant so prices are not cheap. I had dinner here in April 2022 and had an awesome dining experience. Great food, good wine and very good service.
Blue Oven Restaurant at Andaz Bali Hotel in Sanur
The menu at Blue Oven changes regularly, so the pictures on this page may not be available when you visit. I was staying at Andaz Bali Resort in April 2022 and I got to try most of the restaurants in the resort including Fisherman’s Club and Wok Wok. The steak restaurant Fire Fox was temporarily closed so I hope to try there next time I stay.
When I first sat down and ordered a beer, the staff came and gave me a plate of complimentary bread sticks which came with some pickled cucumber which were really tasty.

I skipped an entree and ordered a pasta dish meal which said it was Ragu. I was expecting a classic Italian Ragu dish so was surprised when it came out as a ravioli in a soup. I started eating and this was delicious! The ragu was inside the ravioli and was packed with flavour. The soup was also full of flavour. This was a tasty dish. It cost around 200,000Rp, so about A$20 which is expensive for Bali standards but not over the top for such a good quality meal.

I looked at the dessert menu and could not pass on the Tiramasu, the best Italian dessert. This was another delicious dish with some strong coffee and liquor flavour. Very good.

They do bottles of wines and also some wines by the glass. A glass of wine will cost between 115,000R – 140,000Rp, A$12 – A$15 a glass. Wine is so expensive in Indonesia as they have about 100% duty to import wine into Indonesia. I chose a glass of Grenache from Two Islands wine company which makes the wine in Bali using grapes imported from Australia. This was quite a nice glass of wine, i would say middle of the road in quality but still very enjoyable.

July 1, 2022Fisherman’s Club Restaurant is located right at Sanur Beach, at the front of the Andaz Bali Resort. While it is mainly a seafood restaurant, when i went in for lunch I saw the Beef Burger on the menu, ordered it and loved it! This is a great burger.
Awesome Beef Burger at Fisherman’s Club Restaurant Sanur
This massive Beef Burger is made with good Aussie Angus beef, melted cheese, tomato, bbq aioli, Tabasco onion, bacon and is served with organic salad or French fries. Now it does cost 150,000Rp + tax + service charge but this restaurant is inside a 5 star resort. so very expensive compared to other burgers in Sanur Bali, so Cheap Charlies should stay away but if you do not mind spending money for a great burger then I highly recommend it.

My friend had the fish and chips which is another solid meal and costs 140,000++.

June 5, 2022Tokyo Sushi is a great Japanese restaurant located in the southern section of Sanur Beach Bali, right at the end of Jalan Danau Tablingan, right at the round about to turns to Jalan Danau Poso. While they specialise in fresh sushi, their menu has a great selection of Japanese cuisine like Tempura, Japanese curry, Yakitori and ramen noodle soups.
Delicious Sushi in Sanur Bali
I went in for lunch to try their sushi. I first asked the waitress if their sushi was fresh and she assured me that the restaurant buys fish fresh every day at the markets in the morning. I eat alot of sushi, and when I tried their sushi I could tell this was very fresh fish, a very tasty meal.
Inside Tokyo Sushi in Sanur
They do have sushi platters available but I just ordered a few of my favourite types of fish. I ordered 2 salmon sushi (35K Rp) and 2 pieces of different type of tuna cuts, 2 of the Maguro tuna sushi (30K Rp) and 2 of the Toro tuna sushi (35K Rp).
Fresh Sushi at Tokyo Sushi Japanese Restaurant in Sanur
All 3 were very fresh and tasty. An excellent meal of sushi. I must admit I did not tell much different between the maguro and the toro sushi. Toro is the prize cut of Tuna belly and is usually more fatty than the Maguro but there was not much price difference and I still enjoyed each of these.
Tokyo Sushi has indoor air conditioned dining, as well as a small balcony at the front of the restaurant overlooking the roundabout. There is smoking in the outdoor section but not inside.

June 4, 2022Naga Eight is a top quality Chinese restaurant serving traditional Cantonese cuisine, located on the main road of Sanur Beach Bali, just opposite the Andaz Bali Resort.

On my last visit my friend and I started our meal with some Char Siu roast pork. Sooooooooo GOOD! I saw the roast pork in the window and just had to try it and was so glad I did. You got to try this, as good as you get in the BBQ restaurants in HK!

We also had the pan fried dumplings which were also very tasty with pork inside. You cant have enough pork at a Cantonese restaurant, they sure know how to cook it best.

For mains we had the Mapo Tofu which was just ok. It was a bit spicy which i like. It sure looked good but I guess tofu is only as exciting as the sauce that it is cooked in.

The star of the meal was our last main which was the Braised Beef in Black pepper sauce. This was awesome. The beef was so tender and the sauce was very peppery. Lucky we had loads of Bintang beer to drink after this very peppery dish. Love it!

May 29, 2022Jalapeno Mexican Restaurant is located in the southern section of Sanur Beach Bali, on the main road Jalan Danau Tamblingan, about 150 meters down from the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Taco at Jalapeno Mexican Restaurant Sanur
I went in to Jalapeno Mexican Restaurant for a light lunch and tried some of their tacos and was very impressed. Very tasty, traditional Mexian tacos! I asked the owner (Balinese guy) how he learned to make Mexican food and he told me he used to work on Cruise ships in Mexico so learned in Mexico to make traditional Mexican food.
Bar at Jalapeno Mexican Restaurant Sanur
At 20,000Rp per taco, this was a very cheap and tasty lunch. I ordered 3 different types of tacos, the 1st was the Carne Asada Taco with marinated steak, avacado, onion, cilantro (coriander), salsa negra, queso fresca and cabbage. The 2nd was the Carnitas Taco which has twice cooked pork, salsa aquacate, charred pineapple salsa, cilantro and cabbage.

May 29, 2022Breakfast at the Andaz Bali Resort in Sanur is served in the Wok Wok Restaurant located in what they call the Village Square, right at the entrance of the resort, opposite the reception area. They do not have a buffet breakfast but the menu has loads of small plates of yummy breakfast foods, both Western and Indonesian foods, so you can order loads of different plates, just like at a buffet breakfast feast. I stayed for 7 nights at the Andaz Bali Resort and had breakfast included with my room so could order as much as I liked each morning. I tried to work my way through the whole menu but didn’t quite get through the entire menu but have posted the pics of the breakfast dishes I did try on this page. Breakfast is served between 6.30am and 11am daily.
Wok Wok Restaurant Andaz Bali Resort Sanur
Every Saturday and Sunday, Wok Wok serves a Bubbly Breakfast for 544,500 Rupiah net / adult including unlimited sparkling cocktails, ala carte dishes and pools access.
First morning I went for a simple breakfast of Your Personal Style of Eggs (either Scrambled, fried, folded, boiled or poached). I went for the poached eggs and asked for them to be cooked soft, but that message didn’t seem to get through to the chef as the yolks were not runny but quite firm. The poaches eggs were on a slice of wholemeal toast and I had a Cafe Latte and some mango juice.

Next morning I arrived for breakfast and the waitress greeted me by name and had remembered my preference of a latte coffee and mango juice. When she sat me at my table she asked if I would like to start with a Cafe Latte and Mango juice. Such an excellent touch of quality service. Each morning after this I was greeted by name and asked if I wanted to start with my latte and mango juice.
With my coffee and juice I had the French Toast which is brioche bread served with grilled pineapple, coconut ice cream, cinnamon. Very tasty!

Coconut Chia Bowl – Vanilla yogurt, mango, raspberries, seeds. Delicious!

January 9, 2020It had been 4 years since last time I visited Sanur. Before this visit I searched for restaurants to find any new restaurants that had opened since my last visit. I found Kuu Japanese had opened with the new Maya 5* Resort. As I love Japanese food, I locked it in for a visit.
Kuu Japanese in Sanur Bali
Their website states that they ‘are fast becoming the best Japanese restaurant in Bali’. Now any restaurant that claims to be the best or fast becoming the best, then I have to visit to see if it is true. There are plenty of great Japanese restaurants in Bali so they would have to be doing something special to become the best!
I went in for dinner on my first night in Sanur. Overall it was very good though I’d say they need to do a lot more before they become the best.
They have lovely decor inside the air-conditioned restaurant and they also have an outside, uncover dining area right next to Jalan Danau Tamblingan.
Inside Kuu Japanese Restaurant Sanur
Service was great. As I sat down they brought out a cold towel to wash my hands which is so typical for a Japanese restaurant. Now they did not offer me any water, not when I arrived or any time during my meal. Which was OK as I enjoyed some nice cold Bintang beers and then some sake during my meal. But a top quality restaurant would offer you water. In all Japanese restaurant in Japan they would bring you a glass of water along with the towel. They did however bring out a cup of Japanese tea and topped that up during my meal.
Menu with pictures at Kuu Japanese Restaurant
The menu has a great range of different Japanese foods and has pictures of the dishes to make it easy to select. Their website has a full list of their menu but not with the pictures.
I decided to graze through the menu, ordering 1 small dish at a time. I started with some sushi with 2 pieces of tuna sushi (30,000Rp, around A$3) and 2 pieces of salmon sushi (45K around A$4.5). This was very nice sushi. Very well presented and quite tasty.
Sushi at Kuu Japanese Restaurant Sanur
Next I ordered the Negima Yakitori (15K Rp, around A$1.50) which is grilled chicken with leak skewers. This was a very tasty yakitori dish. I could have easily eaten a few more of these but wanted to try more dishes on the menu.
Chicken skewers at Kuu Japanese Restaurant
Next I ordered the Chicken Katsu (35K Rp, around A$3.50). I would normally order a pork katsu but they did not have pork on the menu. I would say that they get lots of local Indonesian tourists coming from Java who are Muslim, so out of respect they do not offer pork on their menu. The chicken katsu was lightly batter and another tasty dish.
Chicken Katsu at Kuu Japanese Restaurant Sanur
I then ordered the Tori teriyaki (yes overdose on the chicken!) which was grilled chicken with the sweet teriyaki sauce. Another tasty dish.
Chicken teriyaki at Kuu Japanese Restaurant Sanur
All up all the food was well presented and all tasting very nice. I do visit Tokyo a few times a year so am used to top quality Japanese food and the food at Kuu comes close to the food in Tokyo but not spot on!
When I went to order some sake, they have 9 different sake available on the menu, but they told me only 1 of these was available when I visited. Not so good having a huge selection on the menu, only to find out that only 1 is available. The sake was particularly expensive, i guess due to the import tax into Indonesia, which taxes incoming alcohol at I think 100%. A 300ml flask of sake starts at 180,000 Rp which is around A$18. The most expensive sake is 290,000 for the 300ml flask, which is around A$29.
All up it was a pleasant dining experience and the food prices are also quite reasonable considering this restaurant is part of a 5 star resort. The beers and sake ultimately made it an expensive meal, much more expensive than many other restaurants in Sanur.
Inside Kuu Japanese Restaurant Sanur Bali
If you love Japanese food then I would recommend a visit to Kuu Japanese or to Soya Japanese Restaurant which I think is the best Japanese in Sanur, just slightly better than Kuu! Soya is slightly more expensive than Kuu but I find it a much better dining experience.
At lunch times they have Bento boxes on their menu. I really do enjoy a Bento box so next time I am in Sanur I will visit Kuu again at lunch time to try their chicken teriyaki bento box (110K Rp which is around A$11).

January 11, 2016I was staying at the Mercure Resort in Sanur and found Bella Italia restaurant just a few minutes walk away. A great Italian restaurant with a real Italian owner who takes pride in his great home cooked Italian food including pizza, pasta, steaks and fresh seafood dishes.
Bella Italia Italian Restaurant Sanur Bali
I went in for dinner and had some garlic bread and the lasagna. The owner came out to check how my meal was and proudly announced to me that the lasagna was home baked which I could tell. The bolognese sauce in the lasagne was so delicious with loads of flavour!

I had a glass of Chianti with my meal, although not cheap at around 95,000Rp for a glass of Italian wine, it was the perfect wine to drink with my Italian meal. Any imported wine in Bali will be expensive due to the excessive tax the Indonesian government charges for imported alcohol.
Chianti Italian wine at Bella Italian Restaurant
Really great staff and service and a must visit for anyone that loves Italian food. A great Italian restaurant in Sanur! I saw other diners eating the pizza which also looked delicious, really thin base with simple toppings.
Bella Italia is located down the southern end of Sanur. Follow Jalan Danau Tamblingan till right down the end where the road bends, keep going straight and the road changes into Jalan Cemara. You will see the sign of Bella Italia down the end close to the intersection.
Bella Italia has free WiFi internet access. They also have shisha and hooka waterpipes for smoking a range of different flavoured shisha including apple, double apple, apple with mint, mango, watermelon, grape, grape with mint, strawberry and strawberry with mint. The price of the shisha is 95,000Rp including the use of the waterpipe.
There is an outdoor seating area, indoor fanned area and also an inside air-conditioned dinning area.

January 2, 2016I wanted to try some of the Bebek Goreng (Crispy Duck) while I was staying in Sanur which is one of the best foods to try in Bali. I did a quick Google search and the first result was a link to TripAdvisor for the Balinese restaurant called Warung Pregina. Many of the reviews were very positive and a few said it was the best crispy duck in Sanur. Warung Pregina (‘Warung’ is Indonesian for a small eating house / restaurant) specialises in traditional Balinese food. I went in for lunch to try the Crispy Duck.
The best crispy duck in Sanur at Warung Pregina
Warung Pregina is located on the main road of Sanur, Jalan Danau Tamblingan No. 106. Inside the restaurant is very relaxed with nice decor, lovely furniture and some interesting items throughout the restaurant including a nice Buddha statue and tucked in the corner is an old motorbike.
Inside Warung Pregina Restaurant Sanur

I knew I wanted the crispy duck though I had a good read through the menu. They have heaps of great Balinese food on the menu. Babi Sate (Pork satay), Babi Guling (Balinese roast pork though you have to order this 1 day in advance as it takes 8 hours to cook!) and they have a few different duck dishes included a stewed duck dish, some roast duck and what I wanted the Bebek Goreng, Crispy Duck.
It didn’t take long for my food to arrive and it looked great. The skin of the duck was so crispy, The ducks they use are only small through I had half a duck with breast, wing and leg. The Crispy Duck is served with rice and 2 small dishes with sambal and chopped chilli. It didn’t take long for me to devour this delicious meal, chewing on the bones to rip all the meat off.

Warung Pregina is fairly quiet during lunch time as most people are at the beach or exploring Bali. I walked past at night and the restaurant was packed for dinner. If you going for dinner it is best to phone ahead to make a reservation.
