Sanur is a relaxed beach town on Bali’s southeast coastline. With its chilled ambiance, the area attracts families, retirees and couples looking for a more low key holiday, away from the noise and bustle of Kuta and Seminyak. Here are our picks for the best restaurants in Sanur!
Soul on the Beach
Soul on the Beach has found the winning combination: delicious gourmet meals served in a picturesque beachfront setting. The service at this toes-in-the-sand establishment is always friendly and attentive and the flavours are fresh and well-curated. This is a lovely spot to enjoy a seaside breakfast – or gather with friends of family for a long dinner filled with wine and laughter.

Lilla Pantai
Lilla Pantai is an irresistible restaurant built right on the sand along Sanur’s long and winding beachside promenade. This ever-popular venue charms visitors not only with its picture perfect locale, but its delicious menu which features both Indonesian and international favourites. This relaxed venue is perfect for a meal with the family – the kids can play in the sand while parents relax with a chilled glass of rose!

Shotgun Social
While Shotgun Social is still a relative newcomer to Sanur’s dining scene, it has already made a splash, becoming one of the most popular restaurants in Sanur. This spacious and welcoming venue boasts relaxed, stylish interiors, an open-plan layout and large lawns for the kids to run and play – it also makes socially distanced dining easier. Brought to you by the same team behind Soul on the Beach, Shotgun Social serves NYC style pizzas, pasta, burgers and 16 craft beers on tap!

Massimo
It’s easy to spot Massimo while strolling along Sanur’s main street of Jalan Danau Tamblingan. You will recognize the venue but the patrons trying to decide on the perfect gelato flavour from the display facing the street! Though the gelato is undoubtedly the main draw, Massimo is also known as one of the – if not the – yummiest Italian restaurants in Sanur.

Genius Café
Looking to while away the day on the beach? Set your course for Genius Café! This beautiful bamboo-built restaurant sits right on the shoreline shaded by palm trees, offering one of the most picturesque dining venues in the area. The menu focuses on fresh flavours with a focus on healthy (yet hearty!) eats. They also host a whole smorgasbord of weekly events, ranging from live music to kids activities. Oh, and did we mention that Genius is a coworking space, too? Imagine clearing your inbox and taking that Zoom call while looking at those views!

The Porch Cafe
The Porch Café is a well-loved establishment located in the heart of Sanur. With front row seats looking out to the main street, this is the perfect spot for some people watching. Though The Porch is an all-day dining venue, we particularly love it for breakfast. There’s nothing like their massive breakfast platter to start your day in Bali!
