Jimbaran Beach Restaurants
Where and What to Eat in Jimbaran Beach
A three-kilometre long array of beachside cafés and a lineup of international restaurants make Jimbaran Bali’s seafood heaven a must-visit gastronomic destination. Two main restaurant clusters dominate this culinary bazaar; the first on Kedonganan/Jimbaran Bay adjacent to Jimbaran fish market and the second on Muaya Beach, one kilometre south (on Four Seasons Road).
There are probably 40 restaurants in both areas, not to mention the hotel-based restaurants and cafés. If you are adventurous with your appetite, this is the only place that can abate your craving for seafood dishes.
Wawasan Cafe
Wawasan means ‘idea’ in Balinese and we thought it would be a good idea to use the freshest seafood and the island’s famous spices to make fantastic grilled food. You’re always welcome in our café at any time of day – whether you’re there to grab a fresh juice or an afternoon cocktail while you sunbathe or you’ve come along for dinner to while the night away with us, partying and dancing right on the beach until sunrise – no need to go home, the party’s right here at Wawasan… and what a great idea!
