Kuta Beach Restaurants

Places to eat in Kuta are really countless. There are tiny hawker's carts, gourmet hotel restaurants and well-known fast food outlets. Kuta also offers international and multicultural cuisine. You could stay in Kuta for a whole month, eat in a different place for every meal and still wouldn't eat the same thing twice!

If budget is a concern, try places catering to local workers, like food stalls or warungs along Legian Beach in the afternoon, and opposite Hard Rock Cafe in Kuta. These places serve filing yet delicious fare and you'll be assured of your money's worth. 

Poppies is one of oldest and most popular restaurant in Kuta, located in a tiny lane between Jalan Legian and the beach. TJ's is the deservedly popular Mexican restaurant, has a good ambience and mouth-watering main courses.

Made's Warung, in the same area, is also popular while the Nusa Indah Bar & Restaurant is the perfect place for succulent seafood in a friendly atmosphere at very reasonable prices. The quaint Bamboo Corner is another good place to try seafood special. Service is friendly at Bali Asi.

There are almost endless possibilities along Jln Legian. Sushi Bar Kunti serves authentic Japanese set menus, the Espresso Bar & Pizzeria serves a hearty pizza in a pleasant setting; and the Gemini continues to get rave reviews for fragrant Chinese food. Or visit the Bounty II, a replica of the famous ship, for good-value buffets. Aroma Cafe is a mid-priced vegetarian restaurant with tantalizing food in a delightful garden setting. Or check out the Mama Lucia Italian restaurant.

Legian warung Kopi is well regarded for its varied menu of European, Asian and vegetarian dishes, hearty breakfast and sinful desserts. Taman Garden for its very popular and delicious meals, decent happy hours and effusive staff. This is one place which attracts lots of repeat business. Other good places are the ever popular but pricey Orchid garden Restaurant and the Garden Restaurant with an excellent happy hour and cheap breakfasts.

Joni Sunken Bar & Restaurant offers the unique experience of eating and drinking while semi-immersed in a swimming pool. They also have live music and good-value buffet breakfasts. Further north it gets more expensive but standards are higher at fashionable end of town. Some of the Bali's most interesting places are Mexican restaurant Poco Loco and Topi Koko Restaurant, with pretty good French cuisine. Swiss Restaurant is adjacent to the Swiss consul, so should have some credibility.
