The Local Favorites
Kedonganan Fish Market
This coastal stretch in Kedonganan is renowned as a fishing village. It is lined with over a dozen different restaurants serving fresh seafood where you can pick from live displays and order preferred from a variety of preparation styles. Pick a table on the sand and enjoy your feast with ocean views as your backdrop.
Jimbaran Seafood Market
Similar to Kedonganan, this group of restaurants on the sands of Jimbaran Bay, is open before sunset and until late, offering mostly fresh-grilled seafood that you can enjoy at candlelit tables arranged on the sand. Jimbaran is more popular among domestic visitors and guests staying at the adjacent five-star resorts such as the InterContinental, Karma Kandara, and the Four Seasons.
Kelan Seafood Market
With the views of airplanes coming in and out of the international airport of Ngurah Rai, Kelan Seafood Market is almost similar to its siblings in Kedonganan and Jimbaran. Offering fresh catch of the day while taking in the breathtaking sunset. Our favorite one is the Happy Gen which serves freshly chucked oysters at an affordable price, with the quality of a high-end restaurant.
