\u2018The Island of the Gods deserves cuisine to match,\u2019 and this statement is truer than ever as Bali<\/a>\u2019s culinary scene blossoms from Kutu to Kubu. From a gastronomic wonderland in Ubud\u2019s jungle-hugged heart to steakhouses on Seminyak\u2019s ultra-hip streets, every corner is brimming with surprises to tickle the tastebuds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are our picks of Bali’s best restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best restaurants in Nusa Dua <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This picture-perfect slice of paradise has over-achieved on the restaurant scene. Almost every resort hides one or more must-visit restaurants within. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Izakaya by OKU <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Apurva Kempinski Bali\u2019s signature Japanese restaurant<\/a> hits all the izakaya favourites with small, sophisticated twists, like truffle-salted edamame and Oku Aburi, salmon that is blowtorched and topped with caviar. Go omakase (the chef\u2019s picks) if you want to taste as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Must-try dish:<\/strong> The Matchamisu amalgamates bitter and sweet to put a Japanese spin on an Italian classic dessert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
