About Jimbaran Bay Seafood (JBS)

Dine barefoot right on Kedonganan beach while the sun dips beneath the Jimbaran surf. Diners select live red snapper, prawns, and crab by weight at the entrance—or bring catches straight from the nearby fish market—to get them grilled over open coals. Tables spill across the sand with shared platters of smoky ikan bakar, spicy sambal, and fresh coconut while roaming musicians wander past the tide line.

  • Live Selection & Market Grilling: Pick live fish, prawns, and crab by weight from front-of-house tanks or bring market catches to be grilled over open coals.
  • Sunset Beachside Atmosphere: Dine directly on the sand with shared grilled platters while roaming acoustic bands wander between the beach tables.

  • Beachfront Sunset Dining Atmosphere

    Tables set directly along Jimbaran beach provide front-row seating for watching colorful sunsets over the ocean.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does ordering seafood work?

Yes. You can personally select live or fresh seafood sold by weight at the entrance to be grilled over open barbecues, or bring fresh seafood purchased from the nearby market to be cooked and served with sauces and rice. Set package menus are also offered.

Do you need a reservation for beachfront sunset seating?

Tables directly at the water's edge are in high demand, particularly around sunset, and reservations are recommended if you want a front-row seat on the sand. The restaurant accepts reservations.

When should you arrive to catch the sunset dinner?

Jimbaran Bay Seafood is open daily from 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM, serving lunch and dinner. Diners aiming for the sunset typically arrive by 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM, though heavy traffic heading into Jimbaran can cause delays.

Are there options for vegetarians?

While official menu data indicates vegetarian options are available, the restaurant is overwhelmingly focused on grilled and fresh seafood platters, and diners caution that the venue is not well-suited for strictly vegetarian diets.
