seafood...any advice?

haven%26#39;t eaten there in a while, but last time we had a very nice meal at Ganesha, its down the road from Hotel Puri Bambu, Jl. Pengeracikan, Kedonganan - Jimbaran. How much you will pay per head depends entirely on what you order, you pay by the weight of the seafood.

You are correct, there are literally hundreds of restaurants to choose from at Jimbaran. Certainly it is worth taking a look at all the restaurants set up on the beach at sunset, but don%26#39;t eat there. Instead, drive on to Sanur and dine instead on the sand there.

The seafood choice is exactly the same and less than half the price of Jimbaran. The added attraction here is that you will be dining in relative privacy instead of being packed in like a sardine amonst the thousands of other tourists.

Once upon a time jimbaran was the place to go but they have become outrageously overpriced in recent years and regular Bali goers no longer bother, going instead to one of the beachside restaurants in Sanur or, if you want to watch the sun set, one of the restaurants in seminyak.

the balieats website can give you an idea of places and prices.

cheers!

Hi there

We just arrived back from Bali on Sunday and we made the mistake of going to Jimbaran bay. It was our worst and most expensive meal we had. We paid more than going to the top restaurants in in Seminyak. There were cats roaming around the tables and customers. An American couple next to us were also disgusted and disappointed. I went there years ago and it isn%26#39;t the same anymore Tourist rip off.

gosh jimbaran sounds like it has deteriorated into an expensive tourist trap.......unfortunately, as what happens with most tourist attractions.

i am really keen on having some seafood in bali....

if anyone has been to any good restaurants in ubud/sanur/seminyak, would be great advice.

thanks guys.

Hi Scoobaa,

We just arrived back and had one of our best meals of seafood at a restaurant called Blue Ocean, beachfront just up from Kamala Panthai hotel in Legian/Semanyak. Otherwise, I could recommend a trip to Lembongan Island, the restaurants there had the freshest tuna I have ever tasted.

Cheers,

Deb

hellloooo do u asked for JIMBARAN SEAFOOD?...then i better answer the question...in jimbaran beach near Four Season%26#39;s side...try New Bayang Cafe .. contact Ketut Suwita the owner and tell him u know his cafe from me you will not get rip off!. if you come with more then 5 peoples i%26#39;m sure they can give you very special price (below your budget). if i decided to eat somewhere and eat something good and feel happy after then i will not think the price i paid otherwise the happy feeling will gone which can%26#39;t be paid with money, if i think they are going to ripp me off then i better cook my self at home :)

Go to Gending Kedis hotel and eat at Alcedo Restaurant it has the most amazing food ever !

Our driver from Nikko Bali took us to Ganesha when we asked him to take us to Jimbaran Bay (I am not too sure whether he received any commission from doing so) -- but we had the most expensive meal during our 9 days in Bali there and it was not the best.

We had chicken satays, 2 pieces of fried chicken, a squid, a crab and 4 pieces of king prawns for Rupiahs 1 million (close to AUD 140)

have a look at this pic: flickr.com/photos/blueisthecolour/3364550167/

The guy who weight the seafood claimed that the squid was 1,5kgs, the crab was 2,4kgs and the 4 pieces of king prawns was 600gs. I don%26#39;t know how much I can trust the scale. To be honest, I think the whole thing is a total rip off.

You can have really good dinner at Legian for around AUD80 easily.

there are heaps of restaurants selling very fresh seafood apart from jimbaran which does offer a lovely sunset. personally i don%26#39;t bother going there for meals as it is overpriced and the same fresh seafood is available elsewhere.

in sanur i have had great seafood at extremely low prices at a beach front local restaurant called Kesuma where you can sit with your feet in the sand and enjoy a few drinks. about 50,000rp buys a whole snapper with chips and salad. about 4.30 each afternoon they put the seafood on display just like at jimbaran so you can choose what you would like. there are also other similar restaurants along this same stretch of beach.

here is a link which has a map and pictures

there is also a restaurant called mama putus listed there on the map but they have now moved to the road in front of the mercure. sanur has some very good restaurants.
