Where to stay in Bali: four areas compared
A quick feel for the four areas guests ask about most, and who each one suits.
Petitenget is the stretch of Seminyak that runs towards the beach of the same name, and it packs in a lot of good places to eat. If you are staying in a Seminyak villa, it is likely to become your evening routine. Here are three places our team keeps going back to.
Barbacoa
Charcoal steak with chimichurri, and a spicy margarita on repeat.
Grumpy Butcher
Brisket smoked over coffee wood, served in the back garden.
Da Maria
For later in the evening: pizza, spritzes and music after 9 pm.
Tips for eating out in Petitenget
- Book ahead on weekends. Popular places fill up around sunset.
- Walk if you can. Jalan Petitenget gets busy in the evening, so walking or a short ride is often easier than driving.
- Check opening hours before you go, as they change with the season.
