AYANA Resort Bali offers some of the best dining experiences in Bali, from exquisite seafood to unforgettable sunset dinners. With 26 world-class restaurants spread across the 90-hectare AYANA estate, including the iconic Rock Bar Bali, families are spoilt for choice.
Whether you’re after a relaxed meal by the beach or a more refined experience, AYANA’s family-friendly venues are known for their exceptional service and delicious food.
Here are our family’s top picks while staying at RIMBA by AYANA Resort, perfect for parents and kids alike. Even if you’re not staying at the resort, you can still book a table and enjoy a memorable meal at one of these standout Bali restaurants.
Best Dining at RIMBA and AYANA Resort Bali
1. Rock Bar Bali, AYANA Resort Bali
One of the most iconic venues at AYANA resort, Rock Bar is an experience like no other. Set atop natural rock formations overlooking the Indian Ocean, this bar is known for its unbeatable sunset views.
While it may not seem like a typical kid-friendly option, families are more than welcome to soak up the atmosphere here, especially earlier in the evening.
The venue offers a variety of light bites and tapas, perfect for sharing. The kids will love the novelty of the cliffside elevator ride down to the bar, and there’s plenty of space to sit and take in the dramatic scenery.
Rock Bar Bali is the perfect way to end a family day at AYANA resort—just be sure to arrive early to snag a prime sunset spot!
Hot tip: Don’t get to Rock Bar too early as it can be scorching hot in the sun. Instead, head there at around 5.30 pm and enjoy a drink overlooking the ocean, then go to Sami Sami or Kisik nearby for your family meals.
2. Sami Sami, AYANA Resort Bali
Devour a delicious lunch or dinner with breathtaking ocean views at Sami Sami; an Italian gem perched atop the cliffs of AYANA Resort in Bali.
From classic pizzas to delectable pasta dishes, Sami Sami’s menu offers many family favourites, making it the perfect spot to dine during a stay at AYANA resort Bali.
We highly recommend the pizza.
3. KISIK, AYANA Resort Bali
KISIK offers an upscale yet family-friendly dining experience with a focus on seafood. The beachfront setting is truly magical, and it’s a fantastic place to treat your family to a special meal.
The kids will enjoy the novelty of dining right by the ocean, and the fresh seafood options are simply divine. If you’re looking for a memorable night out with the kids, KISIK is the place to be.
4. Kubu Beach Club, AYANA Resort Bali
If you’re looking for a more casual dining experience, head down to Kubu Beach Club, inspired by Bali in the 1960s.
Set against the backdrop of the AYANA resort’s private pristine beach, the club serves cocktails, light bites, and traditional Indonesian snacks. The rustic, laid-back atmosphere allows parents to unwind while the kids stay entertained by playing in the sand.
It’s also a fantastic spot for sunset dining, where the whole family can enjoy breathtaking views and a relaxing end to the day.
5. UNIQUE Rooftop Bar and Restaurant, RIMBA Jimbaran
UNIQUE lives up to its name by offering a stunning rooftop dining experience complete with an infinity pool.
The casual lounge areas make it easy for parents to relax while the kids splash around in the pool. The menu is bursting with delicious Mexican-inspired dishes like tacos and guacamole, making it a fun, laid-back spot for families.
The relaxed atmosphere, coupled with those unbeatable views, makes dining here feel like a mini-holiday in itself.
6. To’Ge, RIMBA Jimbaran
Start your day off right at To’Ge, where breakfast is a full-on sensory experience. Nestled in lush greenery, the buffet here is a feast for the eyes and the palate.
Whether your family craves freshly baked pastries, tropical fruit, or hearty breakfast classics like pancakes and eggs, To’Ge has it covered.
The gourmet coffee is a must for parents, while kids can enjoy freshly squeezed juices and plenty of kid-friendly options.
7. Kampoeng Bali, RIMBA Jimbaran
As Little E puts it with her eyes lighting up excitedly, “It’s dinner and a show!”
For something truly special, Kampoeng Bali offers an immersive cultural dining experience. Designed like a traditional Balinese village, the venue comes to life with live cooking stations and performances.
The buffet features a variety of local dishes, including barbecued prawns and the famous Bebek Betutu (slow-cooked duck). The kids’ meals are simple yet delicious, with options like white rice, chicken skewers, and vegetables, but they can also sample some treats from the buffet—mine love the prawn crackers and dessert selection!
What makes Kampoeng Bali stand out is the live Balinese performances. From a candlelit blessing ceremony to a dramatic kecak dance with fire twilring, the entire evening is an entertaining cultural showcase.
It’s not just a meal, but an experience our kids still talk about long after.
This unique dining option is available on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so be sure to book ahead!
8. Honzen, AYANA Reort Bali
Honzen masterfully blends traditional Japanese techniques with Bali’s locally sourced ingredients to create an unforgettable dining experience. The highlight here is the captivating Teppanyaki Omakase, where skilled chefs prepare meals right in front of you, adding a touch of theatre to your evening.
I highly recommend requesting the private dining area to make your meal feel like a true celebration—you can do this easily through the resort’s app.
9. Damar, AYANA Resort Bali
Damar is another family-friendly favourite, serving up both local Balinese dishes and international options. The views of Jimbaran Bay are stunning, making it a great place to enjoy a leisurely lunch or dinner. My kids devour the mild nasi goreng and mie goreng, and us parents can indulge in freshly caught seafood.
The relaxed atmosphere makes it easy for families to savour their meals without feeling rushed.
10. Scusa, Segara by AYANA
A fresh addition to the AYANA dining scene, Scusa offers a breezy Mediterranean-inspired setting that’s perfect for a relaxed family meal. The restaurant’s terrace, with its calming white and blue tones, immediately transports you to the islands of the Aegean Sea.
The menu here is filled with vibrant Mediterranean flavours and layered dishes that are sure to please everyone.
While Scusa’s rooftop bar is more of an adults-only retreat, the whole family can enjoy the pool at Segara by AYANA, which we take full advantage of during a day visit. It’s a great way to mix up your Bali itinerary with a little poolside relaxation followed by a mouth-watering meal at Scusa.
11. Padi Restaurant, AYANA Resort Bali
At Padi, the open-concept kitchen and outdoor seating create a relaxed vibe perfect for families. The breakfast here is a definite highlight, offering a diverse menu that caters to everyone’s tastes.
After your meal, don’t miss the chance to feed the fish in the ponds just outside—it’s a simple but memorable activity that the kids absolutely love.
12. DAVA Steak & Seafood, The Villas AYANA Bali
DAVA Steak & Seafood elevates the classic steakhouse experience with its sleek, modern design and breathtaking ocean views. Situated next to The Villas lobby of AYANA resort, it’s the perfect spot for villa guests to enjoy a peaceful breakfast or indulge in a luxurious dinner while watching the sunset.
If you dine here, don’t miss the chocolate soufflé—it’s divine! Just be sure to order it at the start, as it takes some time to prepare. They even make it gluten-free, and still tastes out of this world.
Whether you’re craving perfectly grilled seafood or a tender steak, DAVA offers a chic, family-friendly dining option that blends elegance with comfort.
13. Ah Yat Abalone Seafood Restaurant, AYANA Resort Bali
Ah Yat Abalone Seafood Restaurant brings authentic Cantonese flavours to the heart of Bali. Known for its extensive menu crafted by founder-chef Yeung Koon Yat, this Chinese dining spot offers both traditional delicacies and familiar favourites to suit a variety of tastes.
The dim sum, served only during lunch hours, is a must-try, offering delicate, flavour-packed bites that will please the entire family. Whether you’re indulging in abalone or exploring more casual dishes, Ah Yat provides a refined yet approachable dining experience, perfect for a memorable family meal.
With its relaxed atmosphere and impeccable service, it’s a great spot for a leisurely lunch or dinner after a day of exploring.
