Luxury Restaurant
in Sanur
Some of the best places for those who want to dine in luxury are
found in hotels such as La Tavema (good seafood, brick-oven pizza)
and Tandjung Sari. The latter is famous for its Indonesian rijsttafel
and its Balinese palace atmosphere. Dine to the strains of a bamboo
tingklik orchestra while looking out over the sea, or have a drink
in the seaside bar. A romantic spot for dinner by moonlight.
A few stylish places can also be found on Jl. Danau Tamblingan,
including Istana Garden in Sindhu, Bayu Garden in Batujimbar and
Lotus Pond ( free transportation in Sanur area), in Sindhu, which
floats on a pond of lotus flowers, is decorated with antiques
and serves great fresh pasta. A Royal Indonesian Buffet (Rjstafel)
is available every night. If you want a pleasant Balinese ambiance,
try Gazebo's Kuri Puti, on JI. Danau Tamblingan 35, or Kul Kul,
further down the road in Batujimbar. All offer similar fare and
prices-menus generally feature grilled seafood. Many also stage
dance performances and offer pick-up services.
Telaga Naga ("Dragon Well"), opposite of and operated
by the Bali Hyatt, has the best Chinese food on Bali in the most
exclusive setting: a lotus garden. Great Szechuan food. Try their
chicken with dried chili peppers or the roast duck. Lenny's on
JI. Bypass Ngurah Rai was the first Chinese restaurant in Sanur.
It features good Indonesian/Cantonese style dishes (very fresh
vegetables) at reasonable prices. Sin Bo Lan, or SBL, is a favorite
of the local Chinese. Tasty spring rolls. Janur Garden, JI. Bypass
Ngurah Rai, marvelous squid and shrimps. Wayang Bali, also on
the bypass, offers an international menu of sizzling steaks, delicious
pasta, healthy salads and sandwiches in AC comfort. Live music
on Friday and Saturday nights.
Trattoria Da Marco's, in Semawang, claims to serve "the best
Italian food on Bali." Their grilled fish, spaghetti carbonara,
bean salad and delicious steaks prove it. Ball Moon makes marvelous
lasagna.
Japanese and Korean
These restaurants cater mostly to the increasing number of Japanese
tourists. Kite on J1. Danau Tamblingan offers sukiyaki, yakitori
and tempura. Ryoshl on JI. Danau Tamblingan 150, is an island-wide
favorite for dependable fresh sushi and typical Japanese fare.
Chong Gi-Wa features all the standard Korean favorites including
kimchee and bulgogi barbequed beef in sweet soya.
