1. Babi Guling Ibu Oka
$ | |People from all over the island make the pilgrimmage to Ibu Oka's for Bali's signature dish of babi guling, or spit roasted pig—though many swear the pork in their home village tastes better. You judge after ordering nasi babi (pork rice) served with dollops of pork, sausage, and vegetables. When the day's roast pig is finished, Ibu Oka's closes. The restaurant is located just north of Ubud Palace.

2. Bihun Bebek Kumango
$ | |Come to this no-frills joint for one thing only: the delicious duck vermicelli, topped with vegetables and fried garlic, in a rich broth. Rise and shine to catch this traditional Indonesian dish, since it's typically eaten at breakfast and the restaurant closes at 11 am. Take a seat and watch your food being prepared before slurping it down with the local foodies who mainly frequent this unprepossessing little treasure.

3. Bumbu Bali
$$$ | |Chef Heinz von Holzen wrote the book on Balinese cuisine—three, actually—and shares his love at Bumbu Bali (Bali Spice). A family compound setting with open pavilions in a garden sets the homey atmosphere. The menu offers classic kitchen favorites sate lilit (minced seafood skewers) and superbly grilled fish, alongside island specialties ayam betutu (roast chicken in banana leaf) and bebek betutu (the duck version; order 24 hours ahead), and innovations like tamillo ice cream, crafted from a bitter local strawberry variant. Book well ahead for a class at the renowned cooking school, which includes market visits and preparing 20-odd recipes for lunch.

4. Dapoer Melayu
$ | Kuningan |In the spicy cauldron of Jakarta cuisine, you'll find added zest in no-frills but comfortable Dapoer Melayu, which serves food of Aceh and North Sumatra. Choose from a smorgasbord of savory chicken and mutton curries, culinary show-stopping rendang (West Sumatran–style beef simmered for days in coconut milk and spices), assorted potato and corn cakes, aromatic soups—such as gulai kepala ikan (curried fish head), and vegetable stews. The high point for some may be sambal ganja, a traditional Aceh condiment of the little green leaf mashed with garlic and chili: heady stuff.
-
5. Dewata Minang
$ | |Masakan Padang is Indonesia's fast food, and Dewata Minang ranks among Bali's leading purveyors. To order you point to plates of precooked grub stacked in the front window, and it's served 24 hour a day with hot rice. The specialty here is rendang, a thick brown sauce for chicken or beef that also shines over daun ubi (cassava leaves). Vegetarians beware: apparently meatless dishes like sayur nanka (stewed jackfruit) often contain animal stock. Condiments include tasty acar (pickled cucumber and carrot). Eat your meal here or take it away in a banana leaf. Either way, spending Rp20,000 a meal is virtually impossible.

6. Dream of Kahyangan Art Resto
$ | |Sumptuously decorated with antiques and an elegant red-and-gold color scheme, this Java- and Chinese-themed restaurant is highly regarded for its traditional Indonesian specialties. You can't go wrong by ordering any of the dishes with fish or prawns. Enjoy your meal indoors or out, near the koi ponds—though you may want to bring mosquito repellent if you sit outside. Strolling musicians in traditional dress add to the romantic ambiance.

7. Komodo Resort Diving Club
$ | |A hearty meal is not to be underestimated after a day of diving, snorkeling, hiking, or hanging out on the beach, especially when sit-down dining options on the island are limited to precisely one. The resort's two formidable chefs, one Italian and the other Indonesian, highlight their respective national cuisines in hearty dishes, like homemade pasta, whole roasted fish, chicken satay, or split lobster, served with freshly baked bread and desserts. Much of the produce served is grown at the resort and fish is brought in by local fishermen. Accompanied by an ice-cold beer or a crisp glass of wine, and a glorious sunset...what could be better?

8. Lara Djonggrang
$$$ | Menteng |An elegant treasury of Indonesiana, Lara Djonggrang celebrates the nation's culinary and cultural heritage. Authentic period decor leans toward antiques and brooding lighting in a rabbit warren of dining rooms within a historic Menteng district mansion. Lara Djonggrang's dizzyingly diverse menu also befits Tugu Group, homegrown operators of eclectic hotels and eateries, featuring tastes of the archipelago with a focus on Java. Some contend Lara Djonggrang favors style over spice; begin your deliberations with nasi rames platters, offering bites of Indonesia's many splendored tastes. Eat family-style and consider ordering extra, as main portions run small.

9. Lunpia Gang Lombok
$ | |For a taste of some of Semarang's best lunpia—also known as the Semarang spring roll, a regional delicacy—this is where the locals go to eat them fresh on the premises or take a bag back home to the family. Made fresh to order throughout the day, these delicate, lightly fried rolls filled with chicken or pork and bamboo shoots, shrimp, egg, mushroom, and served with a spicy sauce, are made to be eaten right away.

10. Made's Warung
$$ | |In 1969, Made opened a pioneering warung (roadside stall) in Kuta. The Seminyak branch opened in 1987, continuing the tradition in an open-air space where you can see Balinese dance performances five nights a week. (Reserve a table near the stage for the best view.) This beloved institution boasts a voluminous menu, ranging from Indonesian standards to the chef's take on dishes from Italy or Japan. It's a good place to try nasi campur, a bed of rice surrounded with chicken, vegetables, and tofu, as wellas rujak kuah pindang, a fruit salad in a tart broth.
-
11. Meme Surung Homestay
$$$ | |Fight the mountain chill at Meme Surung, which serves a savory house soup that combines vegetables, noodles and tofu in a clear broth. Main dishes are Indonesian and Balinese favorites. Meme Surung's ayam sambal matah (chicken with onions, shallots, and chili) produces the fresh flavor the dish is meant to have. Finish with Indonesia's favorite sweet snack of fried bananas or Balinese black rice pudding and a pot of local coffee. Meme Surung also has 11 simple guest rooms with private bath—either way it's a real taste of Bali.

12. Mie Zhou
$ | |Freshly made noodles are the specialty in Medan, and the best noodle joint is hotly contested. This casual restaurant, specializing in egg noodles made daily, is widely regarded as one of the top choices. Noodle choices range from the original soy minced chicken with sautéed garlic to spiced beef to dan dan noodles, which you dip into a sauce on the side. Don't miss the tasty prawn balls to start—fried dough chock-full of tender crustaceans. Though it's only open 6:30 am to 3 pm, there's a second location inside Lim's Café, at the intersection of Jl. Sumatra and Jl. Borneo, open 2:30–9:30 pm.

13. Murni's Warung
$$ | |Calling itself Ubud's "first restaurant," Murni's Warung has introduced Balinese food to the likes of Richard Gere, Mick Jagger, Richard Branson, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and David Copperfield. Since opening as a warung (roadside stall) in 1974, Murni's has grown to four levels running down the river's edge. (Book a table at the bottom for the best views.) The menu has also grown, adding Indonesian and Western choices, but the foundation remains Balinese, with local standards like ayam betutu (spicy roast chicken), babi guling (roast pork), and black rice pudding, plus rarer specialties such as smoked curry duck. It's great for lunch; at dinner, don't forget mosquito repellant.

14. Nasi Ayam Bu Wido
$ | |A trip to Indonesia wouldn't be complete without sampling one of the country's most cherished traditions: street food. If the term gives you pause, consider that street carts have been around since there were streets, and this is the best way to sample the most authentic, tastiest, and least expensive food in town. Hugely popular among the locals, Nasi Ayam Bu Wido is the place for scrumptious nasi ayam, a classic dish of shredded chicken and coconut rice served in a folded banana leaf and accompanied by spicy sambal and coconut milk soup. Around for 20 years, this vendor is a sure bet among hundreds.

15. Naughty Nuri's
$$ | Sanggingan |Barbecued ribs, shaken-not-stirred martinis, and frosty draft beers made Naughty Nuri's legendary. But other Indonesian and American stars abound: towering burgers sizzling from the gas grill in front, nasi campur (rice with dollops of meat and veggies), and Bali's onioniest garden salad. Thursday's Tuna Night adds sashimi, satay, and steaks to the mix. Finish with fried bananas and ice cream. Squeeze into a big wooden table and make new friends in this casual, open-air joint. If the crowds become too much, try Nacho Mama about 200 yards away—the menu is identical but with the addition of margaritas and Mexican standards.

16. Warung Bodag Maliah
$$ | |Well hidden from the main road, Bodag Maliah combines local produce with serene rice field views. Spend the afternoon on the open-air upper level, enjoying cool breezes and lavish scenery over a Balinese crepe with local fruit and a glass of homemade wine. Generous portions of international dishes for both herbivores and carnivores feature vegetables freshly harvested from the organic garden (Bodag Maliah means "overflowing basket" in Balinese). Standouts at this place, also known as Sari Organik, include gado-gado (Indonesian steamed vegetables with spicy peanut sauce) and the restaurant's own feta cheese made with tofu.

17. Warung Kolega
$ | |Indonesians view rice as the center of any meal, so Warung Kolega offers three varieties—yellow, red and white—to accompany its cafeteria-style Javanese cooking. First pick a rice, then point through the glass to choose accompaniments from a selection that changes daily. Look for sweet marinated tempe (whole bean curd), steamed vegetables with shredded coconut, grilled chicken, and creamy fish curry with fresh herbs; the more items you select, the higher the bill. Most dishes are mild, but if you're nervous you can always ask whether an item is pedas (spicy). After filling your plate, find a place at a long teak table among the locals.

18. Warung Liku
$ | Legian |Sample Balinese specialty ayam betutu—chicken stuffed with spices—on the cheap at Warung Liku. A Rp12,000 portion of nasi Bali (Balinese rice) here includes succulent slices of chicken, peanuts, vegetables, and another island favorite, sambal matah, a mild mix of raw shallots, lemongrass, and chili. Babi kecap (pork in soy sauce) is another tasty meat option. To-go portions can be expertly wrapped in a banana leaf. They open at 9 am and close whenever the food runs out, which can be as early as 1 pm.

19. Warung Paradiso
$ | |For inexpensive local fare with a view, you can't do much better than this family-run eatery located near the Qunci and Sudamala hotels, where you can dine with your toes in the sand. Join the other tourists and expats for the Warung's much-discussed banana pancakes or nasi goreng, as well as fresher-than-fresh fish and shellfish delivered straight from the boat. Most diners try to arrive in time for the fabulous sunsets, so either arrive early or plan to dine later when the crowds have died down.
