The 10 Best Restaurants In Kuta: Something For Everyone

Bene Italian Cuisine at Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort:

If you’re craving great Italian food incorporating fresh seafood dishes from the local catch of the day or a romantic dinner, then you might want to consider Bene at the Sheraton.

Guests staying at the hotel can pretty much jump out of the swimming pool and then plop down in the comfortable atmosphere of this great restaurant.

It’s an excellent place to watch the sunset and the ice-cold beers are reasonably priced.

Try the squid ink risotto, which really stands out and it’s the sort of dining experience that Bali can really offer a local boost to.

If you are celebrating a special occasion, feel free to let them know in advance. The staff will be happy to arrange a birthday cake or something similar.

The Waves All Day at The Kuta Beach Heritage Hotel

The Waves is a nice contemporary cooking all-day-long restaurant located inside the hotel that it belongs to. They offer excellent food, though it’s not the biggest menu and private gatherings are welcome here.

The a la carte menu has a strong focus on Western dishes and it’s one of the best restaurants in town if you want a big, hearty Western breakfast or some French toast.

There is a pleasant view over Kuta Beach and the ship-themed decorations make this restaurant feel pleasantly nautical.

We were impressed by the drinks menu, which must be one of the most complete offerings anywhere in Bali.

Riva Bar & Restaurant at The Kuta Beach Heritage Hotel

If you want a great steak washed down with some jolly, well-made cocktails, this could be your best option in Kuta.

We like that they have a solid wine list here too and the staff were knowledgeable enough to help choose a wine pairing with each dish.

It’s very reasonably priced, given the location near Kuta Beach and we really like the view from this restaurant.

The only downside is that the service can be very relaxed, indeed, and you want to eat here in a timely manner, but who hurries at a beach hotel restaurant anyway?

Hard Rock Cafe, Bali At The Hard Rock Hotel Bali

If you’re staying in the Hard Rock Hotel, it’s probably because you already think that Hard Rock Cafe is one of the best restaurants in Kuta.

If not, we can assure you that their renowned restaurant in a convenient location is tasty enough and the live music on offer is some of the best on the island.

Their menu features a lot of classic American pub grub and we find the pork ribs are particularly tasty.

The lively atmosphere inside makes sure that everyone has a good time and this can be a great place to bring a young family early in the evening.

As with all Hard Rock properties, there’s plenty of music-themed memorabilia on display too.

Rosso Vivo Dine & Lounge At The Kuta Seaview Hotel

As you might expect, you can get a good view of Kuta Beach at this busy and boisterous restaurant.

This is the place we go when we have friends in town and intend to make a bit of a night of things.

The music can get a bit loud at points, but that’s OK. Everyone’s having a great time and enjoying the delicious food.

We love their pizzas, but our friends won’t stop raving about the tuna tartare and fresh fish soups here.

One thing we’re sure of is no one will leave hungry as the portions are a really good size.

Made’s Warung Kuta

If you want an awesome Indonesian fried rice or nasi goreng, then you want to visit Made’s Warung in Kuta, Bali.

Made’s is a local institution and you will find their grub to be both authentic and super flavourful.

They offer plenty of traditional dishes and while you won’t find luxuries like charcoal-grilled king prawns on the menu, there are plenty of other options to choose from.

The food here is quite inexpensive, considering the quality of the dining experience and we love the local rustic decor too.

Kuta Social Club

This rooftop bar has a minimum spend per person of 100,000 IDR, but that includes access to the pool and space to watch the sunset over the beach. That’s a very fair deal for Kuta, Bali.

Try the Frutti Di Mare Pizza at Kuta Social Club, which uses local fresh catch to create a sweet and yummy dish with a very umami overtone.

Then go with the lobster rolls, which elevate the lobster with their wasabi mayo and toasted sesame seeds.

Portions are big, verging on the huge and we wonder if you’ll regret a visit to the Kuta Social Club for a feed.

Warung Laota: The Best Chinese Restaurant

This warung has a great selection of Chinese food at reasonable prices and has become so popular that there are now two other branches on the island.

The Kuta branch has the best congee that we’ve ever tasted and has recently been experimenting with some awesome dim sum.

Vegetarians and vegans will enjoy the mixed local sauteed veggies, which are tasty and crisp.

Our personal favourite is the salted egg shrimp, which we found to rival any dish from the great restaurants of Bali.

We like to visit Warung Laota at Chinese New Year even though they don’t usually have a special menu, because the food is just so good.

Poppies Restaurant Kuta

The dining experience at Poppies is fantastic and we love this kind of blend of Indonesian classics and Western contemporary food.

Please don’t jump off the bridge into the stream below, though, as there’s a very shallow stone bed beneath the enticing waters. You will hurt yourself.

Instead, cool down with some icy cold beers and get stuck into the “table dinner” which is an Indonesian sharing plate stuffed with a huge number of dishes.

The gado gado here is a huge hit with our vegetarian friends too.

The Aburi Sushi Bali

This upscale and very contemporary Japanese restaurant in Kuta, Bali, is one of the best places to eat great sushi on the island.

They are fairly large rolls and the rice is always fresh and has a slight crisp to it to really complement the fish.

We can also recommend their delicious truffle ramen, which we thought was one of the best things that we’ve ever eaten.
