Indonesian restaurants in Bali: where to book a table

Where to eat Indonesian food in FirstBali's catalogue: Taru at Regent Bali Canggu, Selasar Deli at The Apurva Kempinski, and White Rock's local plates by the pool. What each says it serves.

Updated October 21, 2026 · 4 min read

For a sit-down Indonesian meal booked through FirstBali, the clearest address is Taru, the restaurant at Regent Bali Canggu, where the resort says its chefs "craft authentic Indonesian cuisine, using only the freshest, locally sourced ingredients". In Nusa Dua, Selasar Deli at The Apurva Kempinski is "deeply rooted in Indonesian tradition" and serves traditional light bites. Near Uluwatu, White Rock Beach Club puts local and international dishes on the same menu.

Regent Bali Canggu

Regent Bali Canggu

Restaurants · Canggu

Regent Bali Canggu is IHG's beachfront resort on Batu Bolong, on Canggu's southwest coast, and the first Regent in Indonesia. Designed by WATG with interiors by HBA, it has 150 rooms and suites. Two of its restaurants are led by Chef Andrew Walsh: Sazón, a Mediterranean neighbourhood hideaway, and CURE Bali, European cooking shaped by Asian flavours. The Beach House pairs its pool and ocean breeze with craft cocktails and seafood, and the resort is home to the first Regent Spa & Wellness.

The Apurva Kempinski

The Apurva Kempinski

Restaurants · Nusa Dua

The Apurva Kempinski Bali is a five-star resort on the cliffs of Nusa Dua, facing the Indian Ocean, and its dining spreads across several venues. Koral, which the hotel presents as Bali's first aquarium restaurant, serves set and tasting menus beside the tanks, adults only at dinner. Izakaya by OKU is a sister to OKU in Jakarta; Reef Beach Club sits on the sand beside a 42-metre infinity pool; Bai Yun serves hot pot and dim sum; L'Atelier by Cyril Kongo is a lounge with ocean views and Mediterranean tapas.

White Rock Beach Club

White Rock Beach Club

Beach clubs · Uluwatu

White Rock Beach Club sits on Melasti Beach in Ungasan, near Uluwatu, at the end of the cliff. Guests settle on daybeds, sofas or cabanas around a lagoon pool and a rock pool; families have a kids' pool and a kids' menu. There is a spa, a large covered restaurant serving local and international dishes, and enclosed, air-conditioned party suites overlooking the pool and the ocean. Resident DJs play every day, and foam parties run at weekends. The club also hosts weddings and events.

Most of the restaurants in our catalogue cook Mediterranean, Japanese, Asian fusion or steak. This guide lists only the venues whose own pages say they serve Indonesian or local food, so that what you book is what you get.

Taru, Regent Bali Canggu

Regent Bali Canggu is IHG's beachfront resort on Batu Bolong, on Canggu's south-west coast, and the first Regent in Indonesia. Among its restaurants — Sazón for Mediterranean, CURE for European cooking shaped by Asian flavours, the Beach House for seafood and cocktails — Taru is the one given to Indonesian food. The resort presents it in two lines:

  • Authentic Indonesian cuisine, cooked from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
  • "The rich tapestry of flavours that Bali has to offer."

It is the easiest choice for a group that wants Indonesian food in a calm, resort setting, and it combines well with a drink at the resort's Lounge or a walk on the beach. More in the Regent Bali Canggu guide.

Selasar Deli, The Apurva Kempinski

The Apurva Kempinski Bali is a five-star resort on the cliffs of Nusa Dua. Its dining runs from Koral, the aquarium restaurant, to Izakaya by OKU, Bai Yun and Reef Beach Club. The hotel lists Selasar Deli under local cuisine and describes it as deeply rooted in Indonesian tradition, with traditional light bites. Think of it as a lighter stop rather than a long dinner: a taste of Indonesian flavours between the pool and the sea. The hotel also lists a "Culinary Highlight" under local cuisine; ask the concierge what it covers on your dates. See the Apurva Kempinski dining guide.

White Rock Beach Club, Melasti

White Rock Beach Club sits on Melasti Beach in Ungasan, near Uluwatu. Its large covered restaurant serves local and international dishes, so a group can mix Indonesian plates with familiar ones. It is a day out more than a dinner: daybeds, a lagoon pool, a kids' pool and a kids' menu for families, resident DJs every day. More in the White Rock guide.

Dinner, then a night out

An Indonesian dinner fits easily into a bigger evening. In Canggu, Taru is in the same part of the island as Desa Kitsuné, the Savaya Group's lifestyle village, where the Garden becomes the party every Tuesday and Friday, rain or shine. Dinner at the Regent, then the garden: one driver, one evening. In the south, an afternoon at White Rock or Nusa Dua leaves the evening open for Savaya on the Uluwatu clifftop or Zumana at Sunset Bay in Kuta. All three parties are 21+ with a valid photo ID, and each night's terms are on its page.

See the dinner and club night guide for how to plan both in one go.

Which one for which plan

  • A proper Indonesian dinner: Taru, Canggu.
  • A light Indonesian lunch in Nusa Dua: Selasar Deli.
  • A family beach day with local food on the menu: White Rock.
  • A group that cannot agree: White Rock, where local and international dishes share the menu.

Good to know

  • Spice levels vary. Tell the concierge if anyone eats no chilli at all, and we pass it on to the venue.
  • Allergies and diets. Give us the details when you book; the venue says what it can do.
  • Halal, vegetarian, vegan. Ask before you go: we check with the venue rather than assume. For plant-based dining across the island, see Bali vegetarian restaurants.
  • No figures here. FirstBali never quotes prices; the venue confirms amounts.

How to book

Send the concierge the venue, the date, how many you are, and any diets. FirstBali asks the venue, and the table is yours once the venue has confirmed it. If you need a car there and back, add it to the request — see the transport page.
