BENOA/NUSA DUA
Bali Epeh Jl Pratama Ph 778-185 Excellent food + cocktails.
Bumbu Bali Jl Pratama Nusa Dua. Ph 774-502
Upmarket, pricey . They also run cooking classes. I can't tell you the specific dishes, but it ended up being quiet a Balinese feast. The food was delicious but spicy, be warned. Total 270,000 ($37). The setting of this place is quiet magical. Although I think Sate Bali would give it a run for its money in the food stakes. The couple we went with actually ate at Sate Bali later in their holiday and apologised for dragging us over to the other side of the island after they realised they could get just the same (if not better) quality just up the road.
