Places to see in Bali

Family-friendly all-day café on Canggu's Beach Road — wood-fired pizza, big breakfasts and a play area, so it works with kids.

Grilled pork ribs and lethal martinis, off a smoky charcoal grill. Loud, cheap and consistently packed.

Well-regarded museum of Balinese and Indonesian fine art across several pavilion galleries.

Wide-menu restaurant on Jalan Raya Ubud, open all day — the safe choice when a group can't agree, and one of the oldest tables in town.

Large open-sided restaurant at Pererenan serving from early morning until late.

Terraced cafe stepped down the crater rim so most tables get the volcano view rather than only the front row.

Cave temple entered through a gap in the rock barely wide enough for one person, which opens into a chamber holding hundreds.

The high temple of the Batur caldera, rebuilt on the rim after the 1926 eruption buried the original down by the lake.

Restaurant of the village's original ecotourism cottages, serving Balinese food over the clove plantations. Open to non-guests.

Open restaurant terrace over the Sidemen rice terraces, with Agung behind it on a clear morning. Simple food, unbeatable seat.

Restaurant on the climb up to Bedugul, in the strawberry-growing country the area is known for. A standard stop between the south and the lakes.

Steep, cascading rice terraces using the traditional subak irrigation system — Ubud's classic postcard view.

Garden café in Bingin, a short walk from the beach path — bowls and burgers by day, a live-music night midweek.

Canggu's best-known vegetarian kitchen, on the road down to Batu Bolong. Big plates, long waits at breakfast.

Six-table home kitchen off Petitenget where the owner cooks everything herself. Ring ahead; it fills on reputation alone.

Warung whose name means "look at the rice field", which is the whole proposition — simple Indonesian plates over the Sidemen valley.

Small vegetarian cafe in central Lovina, open from breakfast to late evening.

Raw-food café and salad bar in Penestanan — Ubud's default healthy breakfast, and a long-standing nomad workspace.

The Bukit branch of the wholefood cafe and bakery — vegetarian plates, bread and a health shop attached.

Health-food cafe and bakery with a wholefood shop attached — the Canggu branch of a small Bali chain.

Landscaped tropical garden with hundreds of orchid varieties, on the road toward Sanur.

Quieter stretch of sand next to Echo Beach with tide pools at low tide.

A collapsed sea cave that left a round bay joined to the ocean by a rock arch. The cliff path runs right around the rim.

All-day café in Pecatu doing breakfast, pizza and coffee — the Bukit's everyday room rather than a clifftop occasion.

Café in Amed's salt-farming village, named for the trade — simple food, and a window onto how the salt is still panned by hand.

Brunch cafe built around bowls and eggs, with a leafy courtyard and a queue most weekends.

Warehouse breakfast café on Jalan Batu Bolong and the busiest brunch in Canggu — queues by 09:00, portions to match.

Surf-and-motorbike workshop-cum-café, a Canggu design landmark.

Cliff cove on the south-west shore where swell explodes up the rock and throws spray back over the headland.

Vegetarian cafe with a wholefood market attached, the Canggu branch of the Seminyak original.
