Ramada by Wyndham Bali Sunset Road Kuta features three main dining venues. Sandekala, the rooftop restaurant on the 7th floor, offers Asian-fusion cuisine with stunning views. Angsoka, located on the 3rd floor, serves traditional Indonesian dishes and drinks in a cozy lobby setting. For a more casual vibe, the Prigi Pool Bar on the 1st floor provides light bites like tapas, burgers, and sandwiches by the pool.
Balinese traditional food is a vibrant reflection of the island’s rich culture, spirituality, and agricultural abundance. Rooted in fresh local ingredients like rice, coconut, spices, and vegetables, Balinese cuisine is known for its bold flavors created through intricate spice pastes called base genep. Signature dishes such as Babi Guling (suckling pig), Bebek Betutu (slow-cooked duck in banana leaves), and Lawar (a mix of vegetables, grated coconut, and minced meat) highlight the unique blend of aromatic herbs, chili, turmeric, lemongrass, and shallots. Many dishes are traditionally prepared for temple ceremonies and communal gatherings, making food an inseparable part of Bali’s spiritual life.
What makes Balinese food distinct is its balance of sweet, spicy, savory, and earthy tastes, offering both depth and freshness in every bite. Street food like Sate Lilit (minced meat satay wrapped around bamboo sticks) and Nasi Campur (rice served with assorted side dishes) allow travelers to enjoy authentic flavors in a casual setting, while ceremonial feasts showcase the grandeur of the island’s culinary heritage. Beyond nourishment, Balinese cuisine carries stories of tradition, family, and devotion, making it an unforgettable experience for anyone exploring the island’s culture through its food.
