Halal restaurants in Bali are among the best dining spots for those looking to enjoy exotic local cuisine during their vacation. Thanks to the stricter methods of ingredient selections and overall preparation, most of these restaurants also attract diners with specific dietary needs.
Halal cuisine in Bali mainly focuses on seafood sourced straight from the Indian Ocean, so you'll be assured of its freshness and quality. You can enjoy a wide range of fish, prawn and squid prepared either grilled, leaf-wrapped or steamed, and served with rice, vegetables and fiery sambal (chili sauce). Check out our guide to Bali’s Muslim-friendly dining spots, many of which are halal-certified by MUI, one of Indonesia’s top Islamic councils.
