Sit back and simply think of one thing; the most beautiful painting of a sunset dinner-on-the-beach complete with boats slowly gliding along and musicians playing from their souls. Now jump into the painting, you have just arrived at Jimbaran Beach, Bali, Indonesia. And, if you close your eyes for a moment, you’ll be swept to a magical place few have experienced. We believe the people of Bali are special. And they take great pride in their country and customs. Remember to respect this as you make your way around the beaches in Bali and eateries. They think one way, maybe you have your own thoughts.
As we had been greeted at the dozens of warungs that we had passed, a team of local Indonesian guys wearing smart “Jimbaran Beach Cafe” polos ushered us to a plastic table about 20 feet from the water. Other guests included a large family of locals and tourists from all over. Jogging is widely practiced sport in Jimbaran beach and is especially tempting in the covered glow of sunset. Jimbaran is also an admired spot for windsurfing and sailing small craft, which are obtainable for rent. The organic salads are perfect for warm, sultry Balinese lunches, or try a fresh catch from nearby Jimbaran beach. Asam Garam is the perfect setting to share the local fare, notably the Balinese Roasted Duck with Water Spinach, an Indonesian Rijstafel (Seafood variety thoughtfully offered as well as a Balinese kind) - a combination meal of various dishes, or the ubiquitous Nasi Goreng.
