After staying in countless hotels across Bali, I\u2019ll be honest: more often than not, restaurants within hotel grounds left me feeling underwhelmed. I\u2019m not alone on this \u2013 overpriced, too fancy, boring buffets \u2013 you name it, I\u2019ve heard all the complaints you can think of. So, I\u2019m always super impressed whenever I eat at hotel restaurants in Bali that are actually worth the splurge. I\u2019d go as far as booking a stay \u201cjust\u201d to have these restaurants at my doorstep. And don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m sharing them right here!<\/p>\n
These restaurants are set within four- and five-star resorts and are backed by award-winning chefs and resort-standard hospitality. They draw in travellers who want amazing food without leaving their hotels, or even outside guests coming in specifically for those perfect plates. So, from gourmet dinners inside luxury resorts, to beachfront dining and casual night-out with the family, these are my picks of the best hotel restaurants in Bali.<\/p>\n
I first moved to Bali in 2006. After years of living on the island, I\u2019ve had the pleasure of reviewing many of Bali\u2019s best restaurants, including those located inside hotels. The restaurants below are the ones I\u2019ve tried, tested, and I\u2019d go back to again. I\u2019ve included my personal experiences, what I ordered, the prices and the atmosphere to help you decide which to book next. BTW – All of the restaurants on this list are open to non-staying guests.<\/p>\n
