This restaurant has been around for many years but I still love the ocean views, with great sea-breezes whilst you dine and wine. International fusion and Mediterranean cuisine.

Best "nasi padang" in my view. If you're new to Indonesian food, this is worth a try. Nothing fancy about this restaurant but it sure packs the crowds in, so alot to be said for it's food:)

Really nice concept restaurant offering Asian-fusion cuisine, every mouthful is an explosion of flavours, slightly pricey for Bali but if you want to treat yourself to a sumptious dinner amidst a lovely ambiance, this is it. I give it a "two thumbs up!" rating.

Greek restaurant in Bali, why not? Everytime we've been here, we've enjoyed our meals. Decor is a little OTT, but what matters is the Greek food is authentic, absolutely delish!

This place has THE BEST BURGERS in town. We're still working through the menu one dish at a time, so far we've not been disappointed, love their "Philly Steak dish" as well!!!
Requires an Uber-taxi or regular taxi ride to get there, just a 10 - 12 minute ride, depending on the traffic.

Ubud, home of the local artisans: wood carvers, painters, silversmiths, furniture craftsmen and more.
If you're adventurous, best way to see Ubud is on a motorcycle, so rent one when you get up there and enjoy catching glimpses of local village life as you meander through the smaller lanes and streets in and around Ubud and not forgetting the rice terraces of Tegallalang.

Parks & Nature
To get away from the hustle and bustle of shopping and bars/cafes/restaurants in Seminyak, head north-west to the coastal town of Pemuteran (a 3 hour drive from Seminyak) and organise yourself a snorkelling trip off Menjangan Island, the marine life is abundant. At the coastal town of Pemuteran I chose Taman Sari beach resort which is located right on the beach. A Balinese styled hotel amidst lovely garden surroundings, well kept, clean and simply relaxing. And their restaurant cooks up really yummy meals.
