Warung Baru
A long-time travellers’ hang-out, the Baru bakes great bread, but the rest of the enormous menu can be pretty mediocre. Still, the friendly owners arrange tours and batik classes.

Buzz in to this popular place with a silly name for good meals of Western and Indonesian food. A good coffee bar and very comfortable wicker seats pull in loungers and talkers.

Rumba Pizzeria & Homestay

Bebek Bengil
This pretty, rambling place is popular for one reason: its crispy Balinese duck, which is marinated for 36 hours in spices and then fried up hot. The ducks on the few surviving rice fields outside the open-air dining pavilions look worried.

Warung Satria
This is a long-running warung on a quiet street; try the wonderful seafood satay served with a shallot sambal. Otherwise, choose from the immaculate displays of what's fresh, but don't wait too long after lunch or it will all be gone.
