Balinese food is an enigma to most and while the tourist strips along the beach are home to many a fine restaurant (though did you really come to Bali for burgers and Mexican tacos?). For those who truly want to get to grips with the island's fare, you'll need to explore the city's street vendors and local warung eateries.
Fortunately, we've got you covered with our four hour foodie feast where you'll try 15+ tastes of Bali around the streets of old Denpasar. Our intimate groups, limited to just 8 guests, make it possible to visit humble beloved local favorites which have often been around for generations.

Itinerary
1
Denpasar
Our feasting tour of 15+ tastings invites guests on a culinary experience around the backstreets of old Denpasar led by our team of professional foodie guides. If you want to truly understand Balinese food, you need to do it from the warungs (local eateries), the street vendors and the night markets.
Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine and the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour so no-one is disappointed:
✓ Vegetarians/pescatarians and no pork diets won't go hungry, however they may have 2-3 less tastings (out of 15 total) due to limited alternatives at some vendors.
✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies due to risk of traces and cross-contamination.
✖️ Suitable for mild gluten intolerances, but we advise against celiac disease, as there are traces of gluten in unavoidable soy sauce.

While the beaches might be tempting, if you can tear yourself away for an evening, our Bali food tour offers a culinary insight you simply won't find along the tourist strips. Over four hours and 9-10 stops, our insider group has a maximum of 8 exclusive guests.
We'll introduce you to the flavours of Bali in places you'd simply never find alone. Kick off with humble yet delicious fried piseng goreng, some Indonesian-style sate, before moving onto more complex flavours like Balinese Ayam betutu roasted chicken with sambal, Javanese soto baba beef soup at a wooden shack that's been open since 1969. Along with tipat tahu fried tofu with peanut sauce, among much more.
Meet the people behind the food, learn about Balinese culture and the ingredients that make it so unique.

From the Indonesian rujak fruit salad to the pukis coconut sponge cake, this tour caps off a food extravaganza that would make you the envy of the other tourists stuck at the hotel pool. We'll find places only visited by locals-in-the-know.
The tour concludes almost full circle outside a temple in the heart of the old town. Enjoy local hospitality and meet new friends along the way. End the tour armed with the knowledge you'll need to continue eating street food across Bali.
