Jimbaran seafood cafes are a selection of longstanding dining establishments on Jimbaran Bay, which the area owes its fame to. A barbecue and seafood lovers’ haven, especially those who are looking to try out great local flavours, the cluster includes a total of 17 restaurants that each offers a slightly different set of appeals for dining families and couples. One of Bali’s best places to enjoy memorable sunsets with local food, the cluster of cafes mostly open afternoon until late with parasol-shaded wooden tables laid out near the tide’s edge. Some cafes offer slightly gimmicky live entertainment or attractive palm leaf decorations to set themselves from the rest. Flavours and recipes of homemade Balinese sambal chilli dips slightly vary from one café to another. The ikan bakar Jimbaran or ‘grilled snapper à la Jimbaran’ is a must-try.
