The 20 Best Seafood Restaurants In Jimbaran Bay
One thing you should be aware of, as you decide on the best seafood restaurant in Jimbaran for you and your family and friends, is that many of the places have poor or non-existent websites.
This doesn’t change the fact that you can enjoy a dining experience of warm hospitality and delicious seafood at any of these restaurants.
Kisik Seafood Bar & Grill @ Ayana Resort & Spa
The AYANA Resort is home to several restaurants including the famous Rock Bar but as that bar doesn’t focus on seafood, it’s the Kisik that makes the first entry on the list.
You get an amazing scenic view of Jimbaran Beach here and there’s nothing better than eating grilled prawns in Indonesian spices to the sound of the ocean waves lapping at the shore.

Radja Seafood Cafe
This place can be a bit hit-and-miss, but the seafood is always excellent. The wine is a bit expensive but worth investing in to accompany the meal.
Get there early for the best seats in the house which face onto the ocean and the sunset. All the food here is grilled, and the BBQ can occasionally produce a bit more smoke than you need at dinner.
