About Lidah Lokal Sanur

Tucked off Sanur's main strip, Lidah Lokal delivers regional Indonesian cooking with serious craft and zero pretense. Tables fill up for flame-grilled satay, rich oxtail soup, and nasi campur piled with fiery sambal—food locals simply call jaen. The service hits every mark, whether servers tailor heat levels on the fly or keep iced lychee tea refilled. Evenings pick up when live sets take over the dining room, while the fifth-floor rooftop bar pours drinks above the village skyline.

  • Authentic Regional Indonesian: Signature flame-grilled skewers, oxtail soup, and nasi campur seasoned to individual spice tolerance.
  • Live Evening Music: Intimate evening sets in the plant-lined dining room paired with cocktails and casual dinner service.
  • Rooftop Bar Views: Elevated fifth-floor retreat offering sundowner drinks overlooking Sanur village.
