CnC Living Travel Log/Recommends: Balinese Beaches and Restaurant recommendations (Part 1)

September 1, 2010
My fondest memories of Bali all took place on the beach – or more specifically, dining while looking at the beach (and in one case, on the beach itself!)  It is simply idyllic.  They skies were almost always blue, the temperature just right and a constant breeze cooled things down (this also made the water too rough for swimming, but didn’t hurt the view!)Here are my favorites.  Check them out if you’re in Bali!

La Lucciola – Seminyak

This seaside restaurant has a great view at Seminyak as well as great Italian food (though a tad creamy).  It was still very tasty!

Everything tastes better with truffle oil. Mmmm.

Ku De Ta – Seminyak
The place for sunset lounging though it gets reallycrowded; you’re outta luck if you don’t have a bed or table reserved and will be standing by the beach.  It’s still lovely though as you see below.

Jinbaran Bay
Having fresh seafood ON the beach itself is something everyone should try.

Jinbaran Bay is an area of beachside restaurants – a long series of them line the coast and the tables directly face the ocean.

Lobster was quite expensive (~$6/100 grams and most lobsters were 2 kilos) but the other seafood was reasonably priced.  Transportation is also included with your meal so you get free car service to and from the restaurant (great value for us since we were 45 minutes away!)

Hu’u – Seminyak
I love going to a quiet, chic place for lunch.  Throw in a pool, daybeds, and sofas and it’s easy to see why we stayed here for a few hours.

My more traditional Indonesian meal – loved all the sides!

Too many restaurants to list, but these were lovely and will include a part 2 when I return to Bali 😉
Look out for a post on one of my favorite restaurant experiences ever (Michelin 3 star chefs know what they’re doing!)

What is your favorite view when you dine?
