Plan your visitAbout Riung Rasa Indonesian Backyard BBQ
Low-and-slow wood smoke meets fiery Indonesian bumbu at this barebones Jimbaran food court stall. Pitmaster Vivi runs the pit in an unpretentious garden under the trees, drawing barbecue devotees away from crowded tourist strips. Longtime regulars lean straight into the smoked brisket—fork-tender with a peppery crust—and towering plates of grilled chicken. The real calling card is the brisket nasi goreng, tossed over searing heat and sliced with a sharp, fragrant hit of fresh sambal matah. Bring cash or a local card, grab a breezy wooden bench, and settle in with a plate of smoked ribs.
- Low-and-Slow Smokehouse: Tender smoked brisket, ribs, and grilled chicken prepared over wood smoke in a breezy food court garden.
- Indonesian BBQ Fusion: Classic brisket paired with wok-tossed nasi goreng and spicy housemade sambal matah.
- Backyard Garden Hangout: An unpretentious open-air stall set beneath shady trees with a relaxed backyard feel.
