Tandjung Sari

Unbeatable for the old-school Bali experience, the restaurant at the Tandjung Sari Hotel is just that – unbeatable. This iconic Sanur Restaurant, located on the beach in front of one of the island’s original hotels, has a history that includes famous clients like David Bowie and Mick Jagger. Serving international favourites and authentic Indonesian cuisine, this spot is perhaps less about the food (which is nevertheless great) and more about the setting. Right on the beach, next to the bijou pool and bar, looking across to Nusa Penida and the mighty Mount Agung, here you’ll find some of the best Indonesian food on the island alongside excellent pizzas, fresh salads and small bites. Order the Rijstaffel Indonesian buffet if you’re hungry, or snack on prawn spring rolls or duck rillettes served with berries. Grab a sunbed to sleep it off and order a cocktail from the bar to spice up an afternoon on Sanur Beach—simply a stunning setting with exceptional service and old-world charm. Reservations are a must.
