Indulge in a Culinary Delight: Dinner on Jimbaran Beach
Enjoy a delightful dinner on Jimbaran Beach and savor an enchanting dinner experience on Jimbaran Beach!
Savor the famous candlelit dinner on Jimbaran Beach, especially as the sun sets and your feet sink into the warm sand! It’s an experience everyone wants to try. However, the challenge lies in the multitude of restaurants, with prices ranging from budget to high-end, and varying meal quality, leaving many disappointed.
This serene coastline is famous for its delicious seafood, served in a captivating beachfront atmosphere. Picture yourself relishing a meal with the sand as your floor, a gentle sea breeze, and the calming melody of waves in the background – this defines the Jimbaran dining experience.
To ensure an enjoyable evening, we’re pleased to offer our top recommendation.
Complex Dinner on Jimbaran Beach $$
Jimbaran Beach stretches a long way, and there are two spots with restaurants. One area is quite pricey, but the quality of food doesn’t always match the cost. The other area, which we recommend, is situated south of Jimbaran beach and offers the best bang for your buck.
Here, you have a whopping 17 restaurants right on the beach. While most of them are likely very good, I haven’t personally tried them all. To help you decide, we suggest checking out the reviews on Google Maps and Tripadvisor for the restaurant that catch your eye. Here’s the list of restaurants:

Now, we’ll give you an example using ROMA CAFE. It provides good value for money, but we aren’t advocating it over any of the others. It’s essential to compare several restaurants before making your decision.
For all beachside restaurants, it’s a good idea to inquire about all-inclusive packages with a set price. Also, be sure to ask if the prices shown include VAT or not (both VAT and Service). If you’re ordering fish a la carte, get the price per kilogram in advance and double-check the weight of the fish with them (sometimes they might charge more than it actually weighs). They might try to encourage you to order more, in which case, exercise caution and consider looking into other restaurants.

Roma Cafe
The staff at Roma Café is not only welcoming and friendly but also incredibly helpful. They wear smiles that make you feel right at home. Service here is quick, and when your food arrives, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the hearty portions. And let’s not forget about the dishes and sauces – they’re simply mouthwatering!
Menega Café
If you’re in the mood for a seafood barbecue, we highly recommend Menega Café. The entrance to this seaside restaurant is unique, with a stack of coconut shells near the kitchen, emitting a pleasant aroma. You have inside and outside seating facing the ocean.
After choosing a table, preferably with your feet in the sand, you’ll be invited to select the seafood you’d like to have grilled and cooked: fish/crabs/lobsters, the choice is yours. What more can one ask for than savoring fresh seafood and fish with the soothing sound of waves and the stunning sunset view? However, we advise you to book a table in advance as, due to its popularity, the restaurant can sometimes be crowded, especially on weekends.
