Jimbaran is often referred to as the “Millionaires Row” or the “Beverly Hills of Bali” due to the high concentration of hilltop villas, high-end resorts and luxurious boutiques complete with a five-star dining scene. Jimbaran houses one of the largest seafood markets in the region where fishers deliver the catch of the day in the early morning, which by lunch time could appear on your plate. Here is a quick guide to the most sophisticated restaurants in Jimbaran, which you should definitely not miss during your stay in Bali.

1. Cuca

Rather than talking about the elegant setting of Cuca restaurant nestled in a gorgeous garden and overlooking a coconut grove, let’s take a peek inside the kitchen. Punctilious Chef Kevin Cherkas – who used to work in the several Michelin star restaurants all over the world – creates flawless tapas, contemporary Western cuisine and sumptuous seafood cooked in a distinctive manner using only the freshest ingredients. The best ingredients are selected and sourced exclusively from Indonesia to help support local farmers and showcase the diversity of delicious Indonesian products.

5. Beach Restaurants

Jimbaran Bay is famous for its seafood beachfront restaurants with tables and chairs placed right in the sand, providing unbeatable sunset views. Should you want to relish some scrumptiously fresh jumbo prawns, clams, lobster and calamari, opt for one of the venues lining the shoreline. Your tastebuds will be treated to mouth-watering seafood grilled on coconut shells with traditional Bali sauces served on the side. All the beachfront restaurants are more or less equal in terms of taste and price. There are a couple of standouts that usually draw the biggest crowds, namely Menega Cafe, Made Bagus Cafe and Lia Cafe.
