Bali Dine Map

The Bali Dine Map brings together places we'd consider eating while exploring Bali.

Our main focus is Indonesian and Balinese food, because that's what we personally enjoy discovering most.

You'll also find:

• restaurants with views

• places with a strong Bali atmosphere

• local food and warungs

• cafés and casual stops

• selected Western and other cuisines

• newer or popular places currently on our radar

Where available, we also add our own notes and links to more information.

A big part of this Map comes from places we've personally visited.

These are the places where we can share our own experience — what we ate, what we liked, what the atmosphere felt like, and whether we'd consider going back.

For travellers who are still getting comfortable with local food, we also pay attention to whether a place felt clean, comfortable, and approachable during our own visit.

That's our personal experience, not a guarantee of food safety or hygiene standards.

We haven't eaten everywhere.

And we're not going to pretend we have.

The Map also includes a separate wishlist of places we want to try.

Some are restaurants we've heard good things about.

Some are places that keep getting recommended.

And some are newer or viral places that seem worth checking out this year.

These are clearly separated from places we've personally visited.

Think of them as:

“places currently on our radar.”

This Map is still growing.

We're aiming to personally visit and add at least 2 new places every week.

Sometimes more.

That means the Map should keep becoming more useful as we continue exploring Bali.

Some places may move from our wishlist into our personally visited list.

Others may disappear if we decide they're no longer worth keeping on the radar.

The goal isn't to collect the most pins.

It's to make the Map more useful over time.

Our personal bias is pretty clear:

Indonesian and Balinese food first.

When we're exploring Bali, we'd rather discover something that feels connected to where we are than eat exactly what we could eat back home.

But we're not strict about it.

We also include selected Western, Asian, and other cuisines when a place seems popular, interesting, has a great setting, or is simply useful to know.

The Map is about eating well around Bali — not forcing every meal to be local.

This Map is especially useful if you're coming to Bali and thinking:

“I want to try more local food, but I don't really know where to start.”

You don't need to be an adventurous foodie.

You also don't need to eat at tiny local warungs every day.

Use the Map as a middle ground.

See what is nearby.

Check what kind of place it is.

Then decide how adventurous you feel that day.

It's particularly useful for first-time Bali visitors who want to experience more Indonesian and Balinese food without feeling completely lost.

The Map uses Google Maps, so it works inside an app you probably already use.

When you're deciding where to eat, open the Map and look around the area you're already in.

Tap a place to see the information we've added.

You can then decide:

“Does this look like somewhere we'd actually enjoy?”

Instead of saving another 50 restaurant Reels and trying to remember them later, the places are already sitting on one Map.

Not necessarily.

Food is personal.

A restaurant we enjoy may not suit your taste, budget, dietary needs, children, location, or expectations.

Restaurants also change.

Menus change.

Chefs change.

Prices change.

And the experience we had on one visit may not be exactly the experience you have.

The Map shares our own experience and places we're currently interested in.

Use it as a better starting point, not a guarantee.

After your purchase, we'll use the email address you provided to give you access to the Bali Dine Map.

Please allow up to 24 hours for us to add your email to the Map's permission list.

Once access has been granted, we'll send a confirmation to that same email address.

After that, you can open the Map and start exploring.

Please make sure the email address you provide is correct and is the one you want to use to access the Map.

We're the family behind POVDadBali and SmartBaliGuide.

We've lived in Bali since 2019, and one of the things we genuinely enjoy is finding somewhere new to eat while we're out exploring.

We particularly love Indonesian and Balinese food.

So instead of keeping all those places scattered across saved posts, screenshots, and Google pins, we're slowly turning them into something other travellers can use too.

Our bigger mission is simple:

make Bali easier to explore with confidence.
