Top 10 Bali Warungs for Authentic Local Food
Skip the tourist traps and eat where the locals eat. Bali’s warungs — humble roadside eateries — serve some of the most flavourful and authentic Balinese and Indonesian food on the island.
1. Warung Babi Guling Ibu Oka – Ubud
The most famous suckling pig restaurant in Bali, made famous internationally by Anthony Bourdain. Arrive early — they often sell out by noon.
