Bumbu Bali Restaurant & Cooking School

The extravagant beauty and delights of Bali extends to its very difficult to find cuisine. We are delighted to serve you “only” authentic Balinese cuisine in a traditional crafted village setting. Two decades investigating and documenting Balinese cuisine are the foundation in the style of cooking served in our restaurants. To further enhance the quality of our dishes we spend daily hours at the local markets to source the ripest fruits, garden-freshest vegetables, and fish that is caught the same morning. This together with our highly trained service and kitchen team will ensure a most memorable dining experience.

Since opening Bumbu Bali, Restaurant & Cooking School in 1997 we have been awarded numerous times as one of the leading restaurants in Bali. Strangely enough after 15 years we are still the only authentic Balinese restaurant on the island. Unfortunately in Bali’s mythic culture eating is very much a solitary affair, and locals mostly just eat to fill their bellies. Then the fact that Indonesia in the past did not manufacture ceramic prevented people from serving food as the Chinese did for millenniums. We take incredible pride in presenting to you Bali’s food culture in its original authentic way. The only alterations we do is in the presentation, as we take only the finest ceramics the island’s artisans produce.

Located in Tanjung Benoa on the Southern tip of Bali, our very own little village is just a short 12 km drive from Bali’s international airport and 150 meters away from some of Bali’s best beaches. A short 2km drive or a stroll along the beach will bring you to the resort town of Nusa Dua, which offers hectares of beautifully manicured gardens and an endless choice of world-class facilities, spas and wellness, lots of restaurants, great shopping and perhaps one of Bali’s best surf breaks. Our biggest advantage is something that is rather difficult to find in today’s busy Bali. Space, in an area where real estate is extremely highly prized. Built over two hectares, all rooms offer something that is very difficult to find elsewhere and this is plenty of space and privacy.
