Bali’s top 30 for the holiday season!

Eng | Bahasa

It’s that time of the year again! Like they say, “A little bit of summer is what the whole year’s all about”, and this time, summer coincides with the Muslim religious holiday, Eid-al-Fitr. Since this is a festival that most of Indonesia celebrate, holiday-hotspot Bali will surely be buzzing with tourists from all over — expect some places to be packed like sardines! To prepare yourself, book the best restaurants beforehand so you won’t go home on an empty stomach. Here are some great places to celebrate the holiday season!

Ubud

Kemiri Restaurant (COMO Uma Ubud)

Welcome to the land of yoga and wellness. Take a stroll through Campuhan Ridge Walk, enjoy the lush scenery, and unplug for a bit. Afterwards, you can have an authentic Indonesian lunch at Hujan Locale, Kemiri, Nomad, or The Restaurant at the Chedi Club Tanah Gajah.

It’s time for some Bali-exploration! Be captivated by a kecak dance performance or visit the cheeky Ubud Monkey Forest for the ultimate Bali experience! After that, drop by the Habitat Cafe for a healthy and refreshing meal. But, if you feel like lazing the day away, sink into cool waters and watch the time fly by at Folk, or better yet! Enjoy stunning Ubud alongside Bali’s acclaimed sunset at Sayan House. Reservations are essential but fret not, we’ve got your back. Book your dinner at the best of Ubud — BLANCO par Mandif, Kubu at Mandapa, Pica, and bridges will be your best bets.

Seminyak

Mrs. Sippy Bali

Oh my, we seriously don’t know where to start. Seminyak is such a fun area to explore! Experience the largest saltwater pool at Mrs. Sippy, grab a quick bite at Bo & Bun, or put on your sunnies and sip on a cold rosé while enjoying a delightful meal at Ijen, whereby zero wastage is promoted to lower carbon footprint. Wander around Jl. Kayu Aya and pick your favourites from a treasure trove — from traditional handmade souvenirs to designer boutiques, you name it, this street has it. You won’t be lacking dinner options here in Seminyak with Mamasan, Sarong, Da Maria, and Barbacoa being definite favourites. When you’ve had your fill, dance the night away at La Favela, but don’t forget to snap some shots at the cute photobox on the second floor!

Canggu

SVÁ Indonesian Tapas & Bar

If Seminyak and Ubud were to have a child, Canggu would be their baby. Start your day right by joining a barre class or relax through sunrise flow yoga at Fitspot Bali. Then, move on to indulge in great food at all-time favourite cafe Milk & Madu at Jl. Pantai Berawa, or enjoy a caffeine boost amidst ravishing rice fields at Cinta Cafe. Another must do is renting a motorbike and visiting the bustling local flea market around Batu Bolong area — like they say, reuse and recycle! Spend the rest of your afternoon lounging and watching the sunset from the beautiful La Brisa, surf at Echo Beach, or lay back and relax at the sophisticated COMO beach club. Spoil your taste buds with an exotic twist on traditional Indonesian flavour at SVÁ Indonesian Tapas & Bar. If Japanese is your thing, modern restaurants Musubi and Ji are some of the eateries we take delight in.

Kuta

Il Tempio Bali

The jewel of Bali, the one that first brought the island to fame. Take a walk along the beach and splurge a little at the Beachwalk Shopping Mall *wink*. When hunger strikes, pay a visit to our favourite Italian places — Il Tempio and Jamie’s Italian Bali are just around the corner. Waterbom Bali is a One-of-a-Kind experience you just have to try in the city, and we believe you deserve a medal for completing the thrilling 5GX Reverse Bungy without throwing up. Treat yourself to a delicious meal of juicy, tender dry-aged meat at Henry’s Grill and Bar, or stuff your face at Feast Restaurant, located in Bali Kuta Resort. We hope you brought your dancing shoes, because LXXY is a glamorous nightclub not to be missed.

9 Child-Friendly Restaurants for Busy Mums

It’s often difficult to enjoy a meal with children fussing about, especially if you don’t want to just keep them occupied by letting them play with your brand new smartphone or iPad, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat yourself to a day out! Here are top restaurants where you can sit back and enjoy great food while your kids occupy themselves with more than just colouring sheets (that are bound to bore them in no time, anyway).

Quentins PlayroomQuentins Prawn-Bostador

Quentin’s Eurasian Restaurant

Quentin’s is a restaurant tucked away at the Eurasian Community House in Ceylon Road that serves none other than (you guessed it) authentic Eurasian food! Each generous portion serves 2-3 people, so make it a family affair. There’s a kids menu that comes with freshly squeezed apple juice and a scoop of ice cream, and even better: a playroom complete with ball pits, electronic cars, a slide, a bookshelf filled with books, and even a breastfeeding corner!

Head down this Mother’s Day for an all-you-can-eat buffet for just $40 nett per adult & $20 nett per child, complete with a cupcake decorating class – an activity that both mummy and child will enjoy for sure.

La Barca Ristorante and Wine Bar goes above and beyond when it comes to providing a family-friendly environment that’ll leave both you and your children coming back for more (don’t say I didn’t warn you)!

Zaffron Kitchen

It’s often difficult to bring kids out to an Indian restaurant since most of them are unable to take the heat, but if you’re having serious Indian food cravings and you’d like to spend the day with them, Zaffron Kitchen is the place to be! Head to their East Coast branch for a specially curated menu for children (sans spice, obviously!), an impressive play area complete with a wooden hut, a TV playing children’s movies, and a variety of different toys that’ll keep them occupied for a good half an hour, at least – leaving you to enjoy your Tandoori Malai Chicken Tikka in tranquility.
