For us, we love trying different places to eat and drink when we visit somewhere, and Bali have an endless amount of places to try. Neither of us really eat fast food and to be honest, you won’t find a huge amount of fast food outlets over there, however, do not fear my friends, there are plenty of burger joints and places you can buy fries! TripAdvisor can be a great help – download the app if you haven’t already.
There is a huge Aussie influence over there, which isn’t surprising with how close Bali is to Australia – this is literally a local place for them to travel to. Slightly jealous! Bali is the place where you’ll find several variations of smashed avo on sourdough with wilted spinach and poached eggs – one of my faves I’ll admit. Countless flavours of fresh fruit smoothies, french toast with caramelised bananas and ice-cream, and our newest discovery of red velvet pancakes. Mmmmm!!
Watercress located in Seminyak, large restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, a fresh deli, great menu and their own shop:
There is a popular cafe called Cafe Organic located in Kuta which we visited in 2015. It was new and I loved their concept and menu. We revisited this year, and they still seem popular and have expanded so there is more space, however we where so disappointed, menu was the same but the love in the food had gone. We didn’t go back again.
A short distance down from there we discovered The Fat Turtle and what a delicious find this was. A new cafe since our last visit to Bali. Lots of subtle effort like Springer sewing machine tables to dine on and a funky lighting features. Home of the red velvet pancakes, french brioche toast and the tastiest fresh lemonade, I sure do miss our brunches here. Highly recommend you visit here.
Lots of bars and restaurants have a happy hour, one of our faves was Char Char Bar in Seminyak. They have the coolest seating area overlooking the main street. The seating area is a series of wide stairs with a water fountain at the bottom. It can get busy, but you are never waiting for more than 5-10 minutes. They have a good selection of drinks and cocktails and they serve food too. Their happy hour operates 3pm-9pm. Heres their website:
Sister fields – A modern Australian Cafe located in Seminyak. Brioche french toast with matcha custard, banana and yogurt sorbet, banana crumble and Canadian maple syrup. I’ll leave this here…..
Warning: the avocados over there are super fresh and super huge, so you’ll find the portion sizes bigger than normal, and after a few days and some googling, we realised avocado acts as a laxative. So if you begin to get stomach cramps, you know why! lol
