Without a doubt, Bali represents peaceful panoramic views. Besides hotels and resorts, there are also jaw-dropping restaurants that offer amazing dishes in combination with beautiful views. From a spectacular sunset at the beach to the harmonious morning sun and surrounded by natural beauty, some restaurants on this island are built to create a tropical paradise for their guests.

They say that the view really works up an appetite. For sure, there’s no science to support that statement. However, if the number of restaurants in Bali keeps popping up every month is any indication, this seems like a valid conjecture. Whether it be a backdrop view of the ocean, fresh nature or busy city life, all is definitely a perfect treat that will tantalise your taste buds.
