It’s well known that Bali is famous for its food, from world-class international cuisine to fine dining experiences to cozy local warungs with top Indonesian eats.
And, of course, another thing which Bali is famous for? It’s stunning scenery. So, how about combining the two?
From beachfront bites to jungle cafes that’ll take your breath away, Bali is on top of the game when it comes to dining with a view!
Once again, we committed ourselves to the task of trying out as many restaurants as we could, from the cliffs of Uluwatu, to the beaches of Canggu, to the jungles of Ubud, and even across the sea to the Nusa Islands.
Here is what we came back with:

Of course, Bali is an Island, and there’s no end of amazing beaches and the sea views. There’s nothing quite like enjoying lunch while looking out to sea and listening to the waves hit the shore, or watching the moon glisten on the sea during an evening meal.

Uluwatu and Canggu are both top picks for sunset dining. Their west-facing beaches offer an amazing view of the sun going down over the horizon, lighting the ocean up with a dazzling orange glow.
After the sun has set, the stars twinkle above and the moon glistens on the waves, so you’re blessed with yet another breathtaking view!
Can You Eat Great Food With A View On A Budget In Bali?
Definitely! Bali offers plenty of affordable local warungs and small, casual cafes where you can enjoy top food with incredible views, it doesn’t need to be a fine dining restaurant.
Think rice terraces, jungle, beaches. You don’t have to break the bank to dine with a view!
What Is Indonesian Cuisine?
Indonesian food is a rich tapestry of flavours, spices, and regional influences. With more than 17,000 islands and hundreds of ethnic groups, the food varies widely from place to place—but it’s always full of character.
Signature dishes include nasi goreng (fried rice), satay skewers, rendang (slow-cooked beef curry), gado-gado (vegetable salad with peanut sauce), and soto (spiced soup). Many meals are served with rice and sambal, a fiery chilli paste that’s a staple on almost every table.
What Are Highly Recommended Fine Dining Restaurants In Bali?
Bali offers an incredible fine dining scene with world-class chefs, innovative menus, and exceptional service. Whether you’re craving gourmet seafood, modern Indonesian flavours, or international cuisine crafted to perfection, you’ll find plenty of top-tier options to satisfy your palate.

Is It Okay To Travel All The Way To Bali And Eat International Cuisine?
Absolutely! While Bali is known for its incredible local dishes, it’s also a global food hub with some of the best international food in the region. From authentic Italian pizzas to Japanese omakase and French fine dining, Bali delivers world-class flavours from all corners of the globe.
Eating international food doesn’t mean missing out, it just shows how diverse and exciting Bali’s food scene really is. Mix it up with local warungs and you’ll get the best of both worlds.
Is Nusa Penida An Island Or A Region?
Both! Nusa Penida is the name of a stunning island off the southeast coast of Bali, but it’s also the name of the wider district that includes Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Ceningan.
So when people say “Nusa Penida,” they usually mean the main island, but officially, it’s also the name of the region that covers all three.
Final Thoughts On Bali Restaurants With A View
Bali isn’t just a food lover’s paradise, it’s a feast for the eyes too.
Whether you crave fine dining with panoramic ocean views, relaxed beachside eats, or hidden jungle gems, Bali’s restaurants deliver unforgettable meals paired with stunning scenery.
So, if you’re planning your next trip, make sure to add these restaurants with a view to your itinerary. After all, the best meals are those that feed both your stomach and your soul, preferably with a breathtaking backdrop.
Bon appétit and happy dining with a view!
