Good to know
Is Jimbaran good for seafood?
It's the reason most people come — Jimbaran Bay is lined with grilled-seafood spots where the catch is chosen fresh and cooked over coconut husk, eaten at tables set out near the sand, best timed for sunset.
Do Jimbaran restaurants take reservations?
The resort fine-dining rooms and the sunset bars do, and should be booked ahead — especially for a sunset table at weekends or a special occasion.
Is Jimbaran expensive to eat in?
It spans both ends: the bay seafood grills are mid-range and pay-by-weight, while the headland resort restaurants and cliff bars sit at the top of the price scale. Each place's price band is on its page.
