19 Amazing Places To Eat In Lovina, Bali

Jaring Kitchen & Drinks
Price range: $
We like the open kitchen at this restaurant; there’s something nice about being able to see your seafood curry and fried rice being made in front of you.
The owner’s second calling is caring for all manner of stray dogs and cats in the local area, and when you opt to indulge yourself in some food and cold beers here, you’re helping to support the animals, too.

The menu features everything from smoothie bowls to chocolate ice cream, and you should be able to find something to suit every taste at AKAR.

All the food at Buda Bakery is presented so beautifully that you won’t know whether to eat it or frame it as a work of art.
We love the pastries here, which make a pleasant change from the usual international dishes like beef burgers or fried chicken. We can also heartily recommend the fresh fruit platter.

Of course, that’s only good news if the Balinese cuisine they serve is good, and it very much is. The tuna satay, in particular, is a real highlight of a stay in Lovina.

Warung Dolphin
Price: $
We were very pleasantly surprised when we visited Warung Dolphin. We thought the shameless cash-in on the area’s favourite creatures might lead to a terrible tourist restaurant, but it didn’t.
In fact, the banana spring rolls here are amazing, and we were very impressed with the marlin steaks too. It’s also fairly priced, with no hint of a rip-off anywhere in sight.
