Depending on where you go, Bali can be an eye-opening cultural adventure<\/a>, a party paradise<\/a> or an utterly indulgent getaway packed full of luxe spas<\/a>, white sand beaches<\/a> and glamorous\u00a0shopping sprees<\/a>. But one thing’s for sure: no matter what style of Bali trip you choose, you’ve gotta try Bali’s local food and traditional cuisine – it’s on another level.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not talking expensive eateries and Michelin-worthy restaurants<\/a> here (we all know there are plenty<\/em> of those) we’re talking age-old recipes that’ve been passed down through generations, and local food stuffed full of fresh herbs, spices and a whole lotta Balinese culinary secrets<\/a>. So, without further adieu, here are 7 of Bali’s best local dishes<\/strong> – the traditional local food you simply must-try, including our fave warungs where you’ll find them. Selamat makan<\/em>!<\/p>\n

THE BEST OF LOCAL FOOD IN BALI<\/h2>\n

1. Babi Guling<\/h3>\n
\"local

Probably Bali\u2019s most iconic local dish, babi guling<\/em> (also known as suckling pig) is one nose-to-tail delicacy that you have to try. It’s usually served with rice, pork sausage,\u00a0urapan<\/em>\u00a0(a vegetable salad in coconut chilli dressing), huge cuts of spice-rubbed, spit-roasted meat and the crispiest, crunchiest and most scrumptiously flavoured skin – all of which has been cooked to tender-perfection from hours upon hours of slow-roasting. YUM.
\nTry:<\/strong> Warung Ibu Oka (Jl Tegal Sari No. 2, Ubud), Babi Guling Candra<\/a> (Denpasar & Kuta) or Warung Babi Guling Pak Malen<\/a> (Jl Sunset Road No. 554, Seminyak)<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Nasi Campur<\/h3>\n
\"local

Balinese nasi campur<\/em> (literally meaning mixed rice) is a fave food with locals (and us!) who typically dine on this bit-of-everything dish for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Like the pick’n’mix of the Balinese dining world, it’s an assortment of Indonesia’s best bites. For us, the mark of authentically good nasi campur<\/em> lies in the ayam panggang<\/em> (grilled chicken), the beef rendang<\/em> (beef curry) and of course, the selection of hot sambals<\/em>. For the best nasi campur<\/em> experience, look for the buffet-style warungs that let you point to what you want from the glass cabinets.
\nTry:<\/strong> Warung Wardani<\/a> (Denpasar & Kuta), Warung Yess<\/a> (Jl Pantai Pererenan, Canggu) or Stop Makan Yuk (Jl Raya Uluwatu No. 7, Jimbaran)<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Sate Lilit Ikan<\/h3>\n
\"local
Sate Lillit is Bali’s take on traditional satay\u00a0(photo credit: Pencar Seafood Grill)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We\u2019ve all tried\u00a0satay<\/em> (grilled skewered meat) before \u2013 it\u2019s almost everywhere in Southeast Asia. But not everyone has had the pleasure of tasting traditional Balinese\u00a0sate lilit ikan<\/em> (fish satay). Skewered and spiced, minced fish is grilled over charcoal or an open fire (sometimes on the side of the road) and the result is a slightly sweet, slightly spicy and totally delicious morsel moulded around a lemongrass stalk or wooden stick. It’s best enjoyed with a healthy dose of sambal<\/em>\u00a0– naturally.
\nTry:<\/strong> Warung Mertha Sari (Jl Pesinggahan, Tuban) or Warung Ari (Jl Tukad Pakerisan, South Denpasar)<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Bebek Betutu<\/h3>\n
\"local

Bebek betutu<\/em> (smoked duck) is probably the most unique local dish on Bali\u2019s must-eat list. Local ducks are rubbed and stuffed with a mix of spices, wrapped in banana leaves and coconut husks, then traditionally cooked in a pit of embers underground for up to 24 hours. Spotting an authentically-cooked Bebek Betutu is easy: look for lashings of smoky duck meat that’s been cooked to a melty softness, slathered inside and out with slightly charred basa gede<\/em> (Bali’s traditional spice mix) with\u00a0lingering hints of lemongrass, turmeric and ginger.
\nTry:<\/strong>\u00a0Bebek Bengil<\/a> (Jl Hanoman, Ubud) or Art Cafe Bumbu Bali<\/a> (Jl Pintas Siligita No. 101, Nusa Dua)<\/em><\/p>\n

5. Nasi or Mie Goreng<\/h3>\n
\"local

Practically the national dish of Indonesia, nasi goreng<\/em> (fried rice) and mie goreng<\/em> (fried noodles) are staples in the local diet. What your nasi<\/em> or mie goreng<\/em> comes with depends on where you\u2019re dining, but it’s generally topped with a fried egg and dried shallots, mixed with veggies and sided with pickles, prawn crackers, and a few sticks of either chicken or beef satay. Find a really good nasi goreng<\/em>, and you’ll be hooked for life.
\nTry:<\/strong> Poppies Restaurant<\/a> (Jl Legian Jl Poppies 1 No. 16, Kuta)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

6. Sambal Matah<\/h3>\n
\"Sambal

It’s said there are over 300 variations of sambal<\/em> in Indonesia, but so far, sambal matah<\/em> is our ultimate fave. It’s Bali’s own version of sambal<\/em>, and a delicious, spicy staple for any Balinese dish. It’s made by finely chopping raw shallots, lemongrass, garlic, chilli and lime, then kneading it all together with hot oil, salt, sugar and a dash of shrimp paste. It’s best enjoyed on fresh fish or chicken, or if you’re like us, you can just dig in with a spoon.
\nTry:<\/strong> Warung Cahaya<\/a> (Jl Dewi Ratih No. 1, Legian)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

7. Lawar<\/h3>\n
\"Lawar
Look away unless you think you can stomach Lawar! (photo credit: Tresna Lee via Flickr)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not for the faint-hearted, Lawar is a Balinese meat salad made of minced pork (or sometimes even dragonflies and turtles), offal, young jackfruit, coconut, galangal, chilies, spices, and fresh blood. It’s an out-there local dish that makes for a real adventure on any Balinese culinary journey, but it’s highly recommended if you can stomach it! If you can’t, you can request lawar<\/em> without the blood in the mix, but it’s just not the real deal.
\nTry:<\/strong> Warung Lawar Sapi Odah (Denpasar) or Lawar Kuwir Men Sono (Sangeh, Abiansemal)<\/em><\/p>\n

Selamat makan<\/em>, Honeys!<\/p>\n

My passion for Indonesia runs deep: I\u2019ve explored 50+ islands across the archipelago, and I\u2019ve personally reviewed more than 500 hotels, restaurants, bars, and spas throughout Bali. Every recommendation I share comes from real experience, shaped by years of living, working, and travelling here. Whether you\u2019re chasing hidden beaches, the hottest new restaurants, or authentic cultural sites, you\u2019re getting trusted advice from someone who truly knows and loves Bali.","knowsAbout":["Bali travel","food","luxury hotels","Indonesian culture"],"knowsLanguage":["English","Indonesian"],"jobTitle":"Editor & Director","url":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/author\/louise\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1857"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/103394"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1857"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1857\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":183660,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1857\/revisions\/183660"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/bali\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
