How do we even choose from the long list of great eateries in Seminyak! This is by no means an exhaustive list, but just a mention of some of our favorites.
Stop 1: Rice for Breakfast 
Are you used to a small piece of toast and coffee for breakfast? Kickstart your day the Balinese way with a hearty portion of Nasi Campur! Yes, the Balinese have rice even for breakfast. It is literally translated into ‘mixed rice’ and is basically a dish of rice topped with various meats and vegetables and perhaps curry or chilli.In Bali, you might find tofu, spinach, beef cubes and cucumbers nestled on top of your warm bed of rice, drenched in a tasty curry sauce. It is sold virtually all over Bali, and you can get your fix from any street vendor. If you prefer to have it in a certified restaurant, you can visit Made’s Warung, a popular spot for tourists. Made’s Warung is open daily from 8am.
Stop 2: Lunch with 5 Monkeys
Oh! We don’t mean the monkeys in Ubud Sacred Monkey Forest. Seminyak has its own (tasty) version of monkeys. Besides a delicious local cuisine, did you know that you can easily get mouthwatering western food in Seminyak?
