Kuta Beach Restaurants
Kuta is a gastronomic heaven for travellers on a mid-range budget.

With most international cuisine, although based on original recipes, the preparation of the dishes is often adapted to local tastes and the unavailability of certain ingredients makes the results unpredictable; so don’t be too surprised if your meal is not exactly what you expected.
However, in more up-market eateries, the chef produces a more authentic taste by using imported ingredients from the original country. In return you have to dig a little bit deeper in your pocket. For backpackers, tiny food stalls and roadside warung offer a good selection of healthy and fresh Indonesian and International food.
