One of the best parts of travelling to Bali is discovering the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indonesian cuisine is incredibly diverse, with recipes and flavours changing from one island and region to another. Bali has its own distinctive culinary traditions, while restaurants across the island also serve dishes from Java, Sumatra and other parts of Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a simple plate of Nasi Goreng<\/strong> to a traditional Balinese feast, there are plenty of flavours to discover during your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are eating at a local warung, a restaurant, a beachside caf\u00e9 or enjoying a private dinner at your villa, here are 15 Indonesian dishes you should try in Bali<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Nasi Goreng<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with one of Indonesia’s most famous dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nasi Goreng<\/strong> literally means “fried rice” and is a staple throughout Indonesia. It is usually prepared with rice, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), garlic, shallots and chilli, with ingredients such as chicken, prawns, vegetables or egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every restaurant has its own version, so it is worth trying more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> An easy introduction to Indonesian cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Mie Goreng<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer noodles to rice, try Mie Goreng<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Indonesian fried noodles are typically cooked with vegetables, egg, chicken, prawns or other ingredients and seasoned with sweet soy sauce, garlic and spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a simple dish, but when prepared well, it is full of flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> A quick lunch or casual dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Nasi Campur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nasi Campur<\/strong> means “mixed rice” and is a great way to discover several Indonesian flavours in one meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A portion of rice is served with a selection of smaller dishes, which may include vegetables, chicken, tofu, tempeh, sambal and other local specialities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exact combination depends on the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Bali, you will often find Nasi Campur Bali<\/strong>, which can include several distinctly Balinese preparations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> Sampling different flavours in one meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Babi Guling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For one of Bali’s most traditional specialities, try Babi Guling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole suckling pig is traditionally roasted on a spit and seasoned with a mixture of Balinese spices and herbs. It is often served with rice, vegetables, crispy skin and different accompaniments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Babi Guling is particularly associated with Balinese celebrations and ceremonies, although it is also available at restaurants and local eateries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> Experiencing traditional Balinese cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good to know:<\/strong> Babi Guling is pork, so it is not suitable for guests who avoid pork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Satay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will see Satay<\/strong>, or sate<\/em>, throughout Bali and Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small pieces of meat are skewered, seasoned and grilled over charcoal. Chicken is particularly common, but you can also find beef, pork, seafood and other varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satay is often served with a peanut-based sauce, although Balinese versions can be accompanied by different spice pastes and sauces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> A classic Indonesian street-food experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Rendang<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Originally associated with West Sumatra, Rendang<\/strong> has become one of Indonesia’s most famous dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beef is slowly cooked with coconut milk, chilli and a complex mixture of spices until the sauce becomes rich and concentrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is tender, intensely flavoured meat with a deep, aromatic taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> Rich, slow-cooked Indonesian flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Gado-Gado<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Looking for something lighter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gado-Gado<\/strong> is an Indonesian vegetable dish traditionally served with a rich peanut sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can include vegetables, tofu, tempeh, potatoes, egg and other ingredients, depending on the preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be a good option for vegetarians, although always check the ingredients if you have specific dietary requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> A lighter meal with plenty of texture and flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Sate Lilit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are in Bali, don’t miss Sate Lilit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional skewered satay, the seasoned meat or fish mixture is wrapped around a bamboo or lemongrass stick before being grilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fish is commonly used in Balinese Sate Lilit, although other versions are also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of aromatic spices and grilled meat or seafood makes this a particularly good introduction to Balinese cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> A distinctly Balinese speciality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Lawar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lawar<\/strong> is a traditional Balinese dish made from a mixture of vegetables, grated coconut and minced or chopped meat, combined with a fragrant spice paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many varieties of lawar, and recipes can differ from one region or family to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is often served as part of a larger Balinese meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> Exploring traditional Balinese flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Ayam Betutu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ayam Betutu<\/strong> is a traditional Balinese dish made with chicken that is heavily seasoned with a blend of spices and slowly cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spice mixture typically includes ingredients such as shallots, garlic, chilli, turmeric, ginger and other aromatic spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is incredibly fragrant and flavourful chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> Slow-cooked Balinese cuisine with plenty of spice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Pepes Ikan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pepes Ikan<\/strong> is fish seasoned with spices and herbs, wrapped in banana leaves and steamed or grilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking the fish inside the banana leaf helps keep it moist while allowing the spices to infuse the meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a delicious option if you enjoy seafood and want to try something different from simply grilled fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> Seafood and aromatic Indonesian flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Bakso<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bakso<\/strong> is one of Indonesia’s favourite comfort foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It consists of meatballs, traditionally made from beef, served in a hot, savoury broth with noodles, vegetables and other toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find bakso throughout Indonesia, from street-food stalls to restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> A casual and comforting meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. Soto Ayam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Soto Ayam<\/strong> is a fragrant Indonesian chicken soup made with chicken, noodles or rice, herbs and spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exact recipe varies across Indonesia, but turmeric often gives the broth its characteristic golden colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is comforting, warming and surprisingly filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> Breakfast, lunch or a light dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. Pisang Goreng<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can’t finish a list of Indonesian dishes without something sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pisang Goreng<\/strong>, or fried banana, is a popular Indonesian snack and dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bananas are coated and fried until golden and crispy. Depending on where you eat, they may be served simply or accompanied by chocolate, condensed milk, cheese or other toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> A simple Indonesian dessert or afternoon snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Bubur Injin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a more traditional Balinese dessert, try Bubur Injin<\/strong>, also known as black rice pudding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is made from black glutinous rice and is usually served with coconut milk. It is sweet, creamy and comforting without being overly complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may find it on dessert menus in Balinese restaurants and hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it for:<\/strong> A traditional Balinese sweet treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indonesian Food Can Be Spicy<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

One thing to remember when eating Indonesian food is that chilli is an important part of many dishes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sambal is served with countless Indonesian meals, and different sambals can vary considerably in flavour and heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are not used to spicy food, don’t be afraid to ask for “tidak pedas”<\/strong>, which means “not spicy.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also ask for “sedikit pedas”<\/strong> if you would like just a little chilli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you love spicy food, Bali is a great place to explore the many different types of sambal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Should You Try Indonesian Food in Bali?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of ways to discover Indonesian cuisine during your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Warungs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A warung<\/strong> is a small local restaurant or food establishment. These are often some of the best places to try traditional Indonesian dishes in a casual setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may find everything from Nasi Campur and Mie Goreng to regional specialities served alongside simple drinks and snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restaurants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bali has everything from traditional Balinese restaurants to modern restaurants that reinterpret Indonesian cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes it easy to explore local flavours while choosing a dining environment that suits your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markets and Street Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a more local experience, explore traditional markets and street-food stalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for busy places with good food turnover and follow sensible food-safety practices, particularly when trying unfamiliar dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Your Private Villa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most comfortable ways to enjoy Indonesian food is without leaving your villa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are staying in a private villa, you can arrange a private Indonesian dinner prepared by a chef at the property<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be particularly enjoyable for families and groups who want to try several Indonesian dishes together without having to organise a restaurant reservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Gravity, our Gravity Concierge<\/a> team can help arrange private chef experiences and tailor menus to guests’ preferences and dietary requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What If I Have Dietary Restrictions?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Indonesian food can be very adaptable, but it is important to communicate your requirements clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are vegetarian, vegan or have a food allergy, tell the restaurant or chef before ordering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Useful Indonesian phrases include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Saya vegetarian<\/strong> \u2013 I am vegetarian<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Saya vegan<\/strong> \u2013 I am vegan<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Saya alergi …<\/strong> \u2013 I am allergic to …<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Tidak pedas<\/strong> \u2013 Not spicy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sedikit pedas<\/strong> \u2013 A little spicy<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Tanpa …<\/strong> \u2013 Without …<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    For serious allergies, always communicate the allergy clearly and confirm the ingredients and preparation methods with the restaurant or chef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Final Thoughts<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Food is an essential part of discovering Bali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And if you are staying in a private villa, consider bringing the Indonesian dining experience to you with a private chef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After all, some of the best memories of a Bali holiday happen around the dinner table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
