Restaurants in Candidasa

Vincent's (tel. 0363/41368; www.vincentsbali.com; main courses US$6-US$11; MC, V; daily 10:30am-midnight), on the main road almost opposite the lotus lagoon, on the inland side, serves Indonesian and Western food alongside an extensive wine list and good cocktails. The large street-facing lounge area has an inviting ambience. The rear garden is great on hot summer nights.

The menu at Garpu Restaurant, in the Rama Candidasa Resort & Spa (reservations recommended; main courses US$15-US$30, set menu US$15-US$30; AE, DC, MC, V; daily 7am-11pm), has mainly Mediterranean and Balinese delights. Spaghetti marinara is served with an abundance of shellfish in a rich tomato sauce. You'll be tempted at dessert by their pudding, or you may simply be tempted by their cocktail list. There is a live Balinese performance every Saturday night.
