The 10 Best Restaurants in Sanur: What Dinner Actually Costs (2026)

One dish since 1941, and it is still the only meal in Sanur that people drive across the island for. There is no menu to read: every table gets the same set - a whole crisp deep-fried sea fish, a bowl of fish head soup with ginger, shallots, tamarind and chilli, steamed rice, sambal. The package has been reported at about 55,000 IDR with drinks 4,000 to 30,000, while more recent visitor reports put the paket at 75,000 to 100,000 a head depending on the fish of the day, so budget the higher figure and treat the lower as historical. It is our pick because it is the cheapest thing in this ranking and the one you will still be describing to people a year later, which is a combination no steakhouse in Bali can offer.

Not for anyone who wants choice, a view or a vegetarian dish; one set meal, plastic chairs

Sanur's newest serious table, a modern steakhouse from the team behind Boy 'N Cow, and the only restaurant in this ranking that publishes its full menu with prices, which we rate highly on principle. Dry-aged Australian Black Angus and Japanese wagyu: a 280g Carrara MB3+ ribeye at 1,200,000 IDR, a 500g Kagawa Olive A5 ribeye at 8,500,000 for the table that wants to spend it. Around that, Sakoshi oysters 95,000 each, salmon tartare 150,000, foie gras 270,000, seared salmon 390,000, king tiger prawns 450,000, fettuccine alfredo 250,000, mafaldine with short-rib ragout 280,000, sides 70,000 to 120,000, chocolate lava cake 125,000. Two of you can eat pasta and a starter for around 700,000, or the A5 ribeye can cost more than a night at any Sanur hotel we have seen priced.

Not for anyone who wants a long track record; it opened in May 2026

The best proper dinner in Sanur that is not a steak or a resort buffet: casual-upscale Cantonese cooking, opposite the Andaz entrance, on the curated 2026 Sanur dinner list and priced at roughly 200,000 to 350,000 a head. That is the sweet spot for this town - white tablecloth standards without Seminyak's fine-dining premium, and a menu built for sharing, which is why it works for the family groups Sanur actually attracts. It is a booking rather than a walk-in: this is the dinner half of Tamblingan deciding where to eat at the same time.

Not for anyone who wants a published dish price or a beach view; per-head range only

The most transparent kitchen in Sanur on price, and that alone makes it easy to recommend for a first night: smokey BBQ pork ribs 250,000 IDR, rib eye 195,000, roasted pork belly 150,000, beef rendang 125,000, crispy duck 135,000, the house burger 125,000, apple pie 59,000, chocolate lava cake 45,000. Italian-Mediterranean with Indonesian classics done properly rather than as an afterthought, landing at 150,000 to 300,000 a person. The rendang at 125,000 next to a 195,000 rib eye is the clearest illustration of Sanur's whole pricing logic, and there is no guesswork about the bill before you sit down.

Not for walkers from the Tamblingan strip; 1.2 km away

The beachfront answer, and the honest version of what beachfront costs in Sanur: fish and chips 140,000 IDR plus tax and service, a beef burger 150,000 on the same terms, and a realistic 300,000 to 600,000 a head once drinks arrive. What you are buying is the position - tables at the sand inside the Andaz, with the calm reef-protected water Sanur is known for in front of you - rather than a kitchen doing anything a warung could not. Remember the plus signs: 140,000 ++ is about 169,000 on the bill at the usual 21 percent.

Not for anyone expecting casual-food prices; 300,000 to 600,000 a head, resort ++

The most useful restaurant in Sanur if you are travelling with other people who all want different things: a communal space with a restaurant, bar and cafe under one roof and a bill of 40,000 to 150,000 a head, with a peri peri chicken breast burger and fries at 95,000. That range is the widest of anything in this ten, which is the point - one table can hold a coffee, a burger, a craft beer and a full dinner without anyone compromising. It is a few streets from Sindhu beach, so it slots naturally after an afternoon on the sand.

Not for anyone after a quiet dinner or Balinese food; loud, international menu

Mediterranean and Italian cooking inside the Segara Village Hotel, at roughly 200,000 to 400,000 a head, and one of the few places in Sanur that manages to be a hotel restaurant without feeling like one. It appears in the curated 2026 Sanur dinner list on merit, and the position - off the main road, a short walk from the beach path - is the reason to choose it over the same money spent on Tamblingan. Dish-level prices are not published, so the range is what you plan around.

Not for anyone who wants published dish prices; a per-head range, hotel crowd

Bali's Mexican food is mostly an expensive disappointment, and this is the Sanur exception: tacos at 20,000 IDR each, a full Tex-Mex menu, and a bill of 150,000 to 250,000 a person, on the main street 170 metres from the Hyatt. Twenty thousand a taco means a table of four can order widely for less than one main at the resort restaurants above, which is the kind of arithmetic that gets a restaurant into this ranking. It is loud and busy in the evenings; that is part of what it is selling.

Not for anyone after regional Mexican or a quiet table; Tex-Mex, loud at peak

The value-per-plate champion of Sanur: pork miso ramen at 65,000 IDR and all-you-can-eat sushi at 158,000, which is less than a single main at the beachfront restaurants further up this page. Sanur has an unusually deep Japanese bench for a town this size - Tokyo Sushi charges 30,000 to 35,000 a piece nearby and Kuu inside the Maya resort does a chicken teriyaki bento at 110,000 - and Akari is the one where the maths is best if you are hungry rather than curious. Basic room, quick service, no ceremony.

Not for anyone looking for atmosphere; the room is plain

The floor of the whole district and the reason Sanur still feels like a town rather than a resort strip. Portions run 15,000 to 30,000 IDR, ten satay skewers 20,000 to 30,000, a filling plate 20,000 to 40,000, and a complete dinner with a drink 25,000 to 50,000 a person. Satay, rice plates, grilled fish, martabak; you eat standing or on plastic stools among people doing their weekly shop. We put a market in this ten deliberately: leaving it out to make room for an eleventh restaurant would misrepresent how most of Sanur eats on a Tuesday.

Not for card payers or late diners; cash only, winds down early
