Warung Dewa – Ubud

While Jl. Gaotama is packed with great restaurants, Warung Dewa holds its own by selling a varied menu of meals at an affordable price. Its quality is never in question; the certificate from the TripAdvisor website hanging on the wall is proof of customer satisfaction.

Gula Bali, The Joglo – Denpasar

For those seeking a light lunch, this is the perfect spot to visit and hang out. It is a semi-outdoor restaurant built under a joglo (traditional Javanese pavilion-style house).

Arkenzi – Denpasar

This looks like a regular food stall from outside, but the inside reveals an authentic sushi stall from Japan – and it’s pretty clean, too.

Owner Puji spent 17 years working for a spare parts company in Japan. But he also made time to learn the art of making sushi.

Visit Jl. Teuku Umar Barat to test Puji’s sushi-making skills.

Rumah Iga 7 Jari – Denpasar

Literally means “house of the seven-finger ribs”; although the spicy grilled ribs that they serve do not exactly come with seven big bones, they still aren’t that far off and only cost you Rp 38,500.

Warung Kanza – Ubud

This small restaurant on the corner of a street in Ubud serves yummy grilled ribs for one third of the price that is charged by the town’s most popular ribs diner.

The grilled pork ribs at Warung Kanza cost Rp 35,000 and you can find them on Jl. Andong, north of the Arjuna statue intersection. But you will probably be fighting for a seat.

Bebek Van Java – Nusa Dua

Duck is the main event here. Its prices mean that Bebek Van Java is a great alternative to the more pricey duck restaurants that are famous in Ubud.

The restaurant can be found in the Nusa Dua area, north of Benoa intersection.

Be Pasih – Denpasar

One or two big tourist buses can often be found parked in front of what might seem like a fancy restaurant. However, Be Pasih’s claim to fame is that it serves dishes in excellent portions and at a great price.

Each package that they sell, including chicken and fish meals, comes with an extra serving of fish soup or other side dishes. However, none of the packages cost more than Rp 50,000. Fish is their specialty, as denoted by the eatery’s name in Balines.
