Book NowAbout Sundari Restaurant
Sundari Restaurant pairs sweeping views of Sidemen’s rice terraces and Mount Agung with deeply seasoned Balinese regional cooking. Perched on an open upper deck, the dining room catches the afternoon breeze as travelers settle in over crisp lumpia ayam and house-fried cassava chips. Diners often point to the slow-simmered beef stew and fragrant chicken mekalas—plated alongside spicy house-made sambal—before finishing with warm bubuh injin topped with coconut cream.
- Mount Agung terrace views: An open-air upper dining terrace looks directly across Sidemen rice fields toward Mount Agung, especially striking at dusk.
- Refined Balinese specialties: Carefully prepared regional dishes include chicken mekalas, tender Balinese beef stew, and tuna panggang served with house sambal.
- Traditional live music: Evening dining often features live acoustic performances played on traditional Balinese wooden instruments.
