This place is run by an extremely capable young Australian woman (Penny) who purchased the land and built this amazing complex in the eastern part of Bali overlooking mountains, rainforests and rice fields. The food really is authentic Balinese, is very, very fresh and tasty and inspired by what Penny finds at the market each morning. The menu changes daily.... More

As a gift to my husband for his birthday whilst we were in Bali, I booked 'a day in the life of a Bali fisherman' experience followed by a cooking lesson at Bali Asli. I chose it due to the excellent reviews on here and was definitely not disapointed. Fishing off the North coast of Bali with a view of... More

I live in Bali and have for nearly 6 years. I know good Balinese food and ordinary Balinese food, but this was simply appalling. The view is lovely, but so are 1000's of places in Bali. The building OK, for tourists maybe! I just can not get past the fact that this food was dreadful. Very tourist orientated. Over priced... More

I Went there for lunch. The restaurant is closed for dinner. First the view-located on a hillside it opens up to an incredible view of rice paddies, forests and Mount Agung. Complimentary assortment of homemade freshly baked organiccrackers and spices to start. For drinks we had the fruit beer sampler. We then ordered the combination lunch featuring samples from all...

It would be well worth scheduling a day around lunch at this restaurant. It is well off the beaten track and your driver may have to call for directions as you get close. But you will be rewarded. This was one of our finest dining experiences in Bali. We ordered the sampling menu for two and were treated to wonderful... More

My husband and I visited Bali Asli early last year. It's hard to find things to do in Bali where you feel that you are getting an authentic experience of local life. But this is the real deal. Penny's love for the island and its people is palpable, intense and passionate. I learned more about Balinese culture in a couple... More

My mom and I have been to Bali many times, and hands down, our Bali Asli adventure was the absolute highlight of our trip this time! We booked the Day in the Life of a Balinese Fisherman followed by the Campur lunch, and it far exceeded our expectations!

So amazed by the the stunning view from the restaurant: the rice fields and mount Agung (although the sky was not so clear).... More

Just had lunch at Bali Asli. This place deserves every accolade and award it is given. We were thoroughly impressed. The chef/owner is super talented and really loves her job. Her enthusiasm and energy reflect in every aspect of this wonderful restaurant. By far the best meal we have had in Bali. Local traditional Balinese food made with care, attention... More
