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 food tour, 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.
While Bali's beaches might be tempting, you'd be one wonton short of a noodle bowl not to join our moveable evening food feast, to tickle your taste buds in places you'll never find alone.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet your guide at the terrace bar/restaurant of the Inna Bali Heritage Hotel of Denpasar city. It's the outdoor bar on the opposite side of the road to the hotel sign with the white letters. It's easily reachable by taxi from the beachside hotels including Sanur, Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu and beyond.
The tour finishes at Badung Market, outside a nearby temple called ‘Pura Desa lan Puseh Desa Pekraman Denpasar’. This place is near the start point of the tour, around 700 metres / 10 mins walk. Your guide can help call a taxi if you wish.

1Denpasar
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: ✓ Suitable for mild gluten intolerances, but we advise against ✖️ celiac disease, as there are traces of gluten in 3-4 tastings with unavoidable soy sauce. ✖️Vegetarians have 3-4 less tastings due to limited alternatives at some vendors. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies, due to risk of traces and cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!
