19 Best Restaurants in Bali, Offering Indonesian Classics, Vegan Tasting Menus, and More | Condé Nast Traveler

"It’s only fitting that you’ll kick off an evening at Apéritif, the elegant restaurant at Viceroy Bali, with its namesake drink. A host will escort you to Pinstripe, the polished bar just a few feet from the restaurant, where you’ll have your first course of the tasting menu: a cocktail and canapés. Choose from a menu created by head bartender Panji Wisrawan that draws on local and upcycled ingredients. Tasting menus, including a vegetarian and vegan option, showcase Indonesian ingredients and global flavors, as well as the skilled precision of Belgian chef and industry veteran Nic Vanderbeeken. (Look out for the venison wellington with rendang sauce, subbed with mushrooms for herbivores.) And although the vibe is unstuffy, there’s a touch of old school fine dining glamour here, with a cheese trolley and cigar humidor. To really splash out, ask the sommelier for help choosing a bottle from the robust wine cellar that holds vintages dating back to 1855." - Regan Stephens
