More Kuta Information - Eating out in Kuta
Kuta is a great place to eat. New places open almost daily and
competition is fierce. Most don't last for long. The ones which
do have great food at unbeatable prices. Seafood and Western dishes
are your best bets. Or try Mexican, Indian or Japanese. The more
well-known places are mentioned below, plus some promising newcomers.
Ask around for the latest "in" spots.

Made's Warung II, Banjar Seminyak, (not to be confused with other
