10 Best Restaurants in Lovina: Where to Eat by Budget

10 Best Restaurants in Lovina, by Area

Each pick names its village and a stated reason. Prices are figures from earlier published guides, marked with "++" where tax and service charge are added on top. Confirm hours and menus before you go, because they change.

• 1. The Damai (Kayu Putih hills): best for a splurge
  • Hillside fine dining with a farm-to-table approach. Earlier listings show a daily-changing three-course menu at Rp485,000++ and a dish of the day at Rp245,000++.
  • Call ahead to book and ask about a free pickup, since this is not a walkable dinner.
• 2. The 10th Table (Jalan Seririt-Singaraja): best small tasting menu
  • A small restaurant with only about ten tables. One earlier review cites a six-course tasting menu at Rp350,000 per person, but that figure comes from a single source.
  • Book ahead and re-check the price.
• 3. Spice Beach Club (Kaliasem): best for sunset drinks
  • Beachfront seating with burgers at Rp65,000–90,000++ and mains from Rp65,000++ in earlier listings. Live music has been reported on Saturdays and Sundays, with a DJ on Friday nights.
  • A free shuttle around Lovina was also reported, so ask when you book.
• 4. Mentari Lovina Bar and Kitchen (Anturan): best for seafood barbecue
  • Beachfront tables with bean bags on the sand. A seafood barbecue buffet at Rp220,000 was reported for Wednesdays and Saturdays.
  • Confirm the nights and price before planning around it.
• 5. Warung Apple (Jalan Mawar, Kalibukbuk): best cheap grilled seafood
  • Small, busy and often queued. Mixed grilled seafood with chips or rice was listed at Rp40,000, with hours of 09:00–23:00.
  • Arrive early or accept a wait.
• 6. JB's Warung Makan (Jalan Mawar, Kalibukbuk): best for fresh fish
  • An unfussy warung known for fish cooked straight from the nets. Listed hours run 08:00–23:00.
  • Order the fish over the pizza.
• 7. Warung Muslim Lumajang Lalapan (Kaliasem): best rock-bottom budget meal
  • A hole-in-the-wall on Jalan Singaraja-Seririt serving fried chicken, duck, catfish or ocean fish. An older listing priced fried fish with rice, vegetables and a drink at Rp13,000.
  • Expect a higher price today.
• 8. AKAR Cafe (Jalan Binaria, Kalibukbuk): best vegetarian and vegan cafe
  • Vegan and gluten-free options, with salads from Rp50,000 and falafel from Rp55,000 in earlier listings. Hours of 07:00–22:00 were listed.
  • Ask for a table out the back by the river.
• 9. Global Village Kafe (Jalan Singaraja-Seririt, Kalibukbuk): best for a casual meal with a cause
  • A not-for-profit social enterprise with mains from Rp25,000 in older listings. Hours of 08:00–22:00 were listed, with breakfast and espresso on the menu.
  • Check the current cause description on its social page.
• 10. Krisna Wisata Kuluner (Temukus): best local-food detour
  • A food and souvenir complex aimed at domestic tourists, about 4 km west of central Lovina. Huts serve ayam betutu, babi guling, ikan bakar and Sate kambing, with hours of 10:00–22:00 listed.
  • Babi guling is roast pork, so ask what each hut serves if you avoid pork.

Best Restaurants in Lovina by Situation

Pick by what you need tonight, not by rank. This table sorts the ten picks into scenarios. Add La Madre on Jalan Mawar (Italian, pasta from Rp35,000) if a group wants something familiar.

Which Village to Eat in

Kalibukbuk has the largest cluster of restaurants and bars, so it is the easiest area for a few dinners in a row. Jalan Mawar and Jalan Binaria hold most of its options. Outlying villages suit one planned dinner, and Krisna Wisata Kuluner sits about 4 km west of central Lovina. If you are still choosing a base, read 5 Best Places to Stay in Lovina, North Bali (2026) first.

• Kalibukbuk: Warung Apple, JB's, La Madre, AKAR, Jasmine Kitchen, Seyu and My Greek Taverna.
• Anturan: Mentari and Warung Rasta on the beach.
• Kaliasem: Spice Beach Club and the cheap warungs on Jalan Singaraja-Seririt.
• Kayu Putih hills: The Damai.
• Temukus: Krisna Wisata Kuluner.

Sunset and Beachfront Dinners

Spice Beach Club in Kaliasem and Mentari in Anturan are the clearest sunset choices. Warung Rasta in Anturan also sits right on the beach, but earlier reviews say the location beats the food and service is slow. Set expectations accordingly and order simple dishes. Read Lovina's beaches for the sand itself, and check Lovina Weather: Best Time to Visit by Month & Season before booking a beach table. Some resort restaurants, such as Sea Sky Lovina at Lovina Beach Club & Resort, also advertise sunset dining. Confirm non-guest access directly, since the resort page is promotional.

Costs and Timing

Budget tiers here use figures from earlier published guides, so treat them as a floor and re-check on arrival. A warung meal can run from Rp13,000 for fried fish with rice to Rp40,000 for mixed grilled seafood. Mid-range mains start around Rp65,000++ at Spice Beach Club. Splurge dinners start at Rp350,000 for a tasting menu and reach Rp485,000++ at The Damai. Carry cash for warungs and ask other venues whether they take cards. Book The Damai and The 10th Table ahead. Warung Apple takes no such luxury, so arrive before the evening rush.

Street Food and Night Food Beyond the Strip

Krisna Wisata Kuluner is the best domestic-tourist food stop for ayam betutu, a slow-cooked, smoked and spiced chicken, plus ikan bakar and Sate kambing. Allow a return ride, as it is roughly 4 km from central Lovina. For cheaper evening snacks, see the Lovina Night Market Guide: What's Open, What to Eat & Tips. Listed fried-chicken carts also set up on Jalan Singaraja-Seririt each evening.

Getting Around at Night and Staying Safe

Kalibukbuk is the only area that suits walking between venues. For The Damai, Krisna Wisata Kuluner and the beach clubs, arrange a ride both ways before dinner. Earlier reviews report a free pickup from The Damai and a free shuttle from Spice Beach Club, so ask when you book. Cheap cocktails deserve caution. Reviewers warn that "gin" and "vodka" are often made with arak, and ethanol poisoning cases have been reported in Bali. Stick to sealed beer or bottled spirits. Magic Mushroom omelettes and shakes are illegal. For live music afterward, see Lovina Nightlife: Sunset Bars, Live Music and Late Spots. For health notices, check the Buleleng regency government site.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Most bad dinners in Lovina come from planning too loosely. Check current opening details on the Bali official tourism site or on each venue's own page.

• Skipping a booking at The Damai or The 10th Table.
• Assuming hillside venues are walkable from Kalibukbuk.
• Trusting old hours or prices, including every figure on this page.
• Arriving at a warung with no cash.
• Ordering cheap spirit cocktails without checking the bottle.
