With its long stretch of beach and stunning sunsets, Jimbaran is a popular destination for couples looking for a romantic getaway. Here are some of our recommendations for having a romantic dinner in Jimbaran.
Bella Cucina
Bella Cucina is a signature restaurant at the InterContinental Bali Resort, a five-star beachfront resort in Jimbaran. It serves an extensive menu of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine, but the seafood is the real star of the show. Some of the most popular dishes include the pan-seared tuna and the salmon Wellington.
The restaurant has a cosy and romantic ambience, dimmed lighting and an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs in action. The service is excellent, with attentive waiters who are more than happy to recommend food and wine pairings.
Bella Cucina is only open for dinner, and it’s popular with tourists, some of whom are repeat customers. So, it’s best to book a table in advance. Bella Cucina also offers a room for a private romantic dinner in Bali. Overall, Bella Cucina is the perfect place to deepen your connection with your loved one.
Cuca Restaurant
Cuca Restaurant is the place to go for a unique dining experience with an authentic Balinese ambience. The restaurant brands itself as ‘radically different’, both in terms of menu and concept, and it’s sure to leave a lasting impression on you and your loved one.
Cuca’s core principle is ‘casual fine dining’. They offer a wide selection of tapas, cocktails, and desserts that are perfect for sharing. If you’re looking for a full-course meal, try their Chef Tasting Menu, which features the chef’s curated dishes for the evening.
What sets Cuca apart is its full use of local products from across Indonesia. The restaurant handpicks its ingredients to support local artisans and farmers, resulting in a different menu every month. So, even if you return to Cuca regularly, you will surely have a new experience each time.
Since it’s not located near the beach, Cuca Restaurant is not exactly where to have a romantic dinner in Bali with a view. However, it’s a great place to connect with your loved ones on a deeper level by sharing food, interacting with the chefs, and going on a culinary adventure together.
Bawang Merah Beachfront Restaurant
Located in the famous Jimbaran Bay, Bawang Merah Beachfront Restaurant is the perfect place for a romantic Jimbaran sunset dinner. The restaurant is set right on the beach, offering stunning sunset views without being too crowded.
Bawang Merah Beachfront Restaurant serves a wide variety of Indonesian cuisine, including rice, noodles, pasta, curry, and even vegan and vegetarian options. However, the seafood is to be noticed. The seafood is fresh and expertly prepared, resulting in delicious dishes.
The restaurant has plenty of seating, but it’s best to make a reservation in advance. You can also book a romantic dinner package, which includes a private seating area away from other diners, a welcome drink, decorations, and a flower bouquet.
Despite the mesmerising amenities, the prices at Bawang Merah are very affordable. You can choose individual dishes or order a package menu, which is of great value. Furthermore, the staff is happy to help you create a memorable dining experience for any occasion, such as an anniversary or proposal.
Rock Bar Bali at Ayana Resort and Spa
A five-star resort as globally famous as Ayana deserves an excellent dining place, and Rock Bar Bali proves just that. It’s considered one of the best romantic dinner places in Bali, offering everything you need for a perfect evening: outstanding views, stellar service, and great food
Rock Bar has attracted numerous compliments from the visitors. It serves a wide variety of food, including Balinese cuisine, tapas, and cocktails. The food is perfect for sharing with your partner.
What makes Rock Bar unique is its setting. It is built on top of a limestone cliff, with a balcony that juts out over the ocean. This means you can enjoy your meal 14 meters above the vast Indian Ocean, with impressive sunset views.
The vibe at Rock Bar is relaxed yet sophisticated. There’s a smart attire dress code, but the restaurant is open-air, so it’s best to dress comfortably, too.
Coming home to a luxurious and comfortable place is just as important as the dinner itself, so it’s best to book a stay at Natadesa Resort Residence. Located in the heart of Jimbaran, Natadesa is highly accessible from all the restaurants mentioned above, so you’ll have no problem getting there.
Natadesa offers total privacy, spacious housing, and complete facilities, making it the perfect place to rest after a romantic dinner in Jimbaran.
