THE BEST GRILLED FISH IN TOWN (if not in all of Bali) !

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this authentic balinese little shop run by the owner, Tupu. The highlight of the experience was watching Tupu personally prepare and cook each whole fish on a charcoal bbq, ensuring that every bite was bursting with flavor.

The freshness of the fish was evident, as they were sourced directly from local fishermen and included a variety of options such as mahi mahi, barracuda, tuna, red snapper, and yellow snapper (depending on the cash of the day).

The fish was perfectly complemented by the delicious sambal sauce, which added just the right amount of spice. The meal also included a portion of rice and a veggie condiment.

Located uphill near the temple, accessing the restaurant is easiest by scooter due to its uphill location. I highly recommend getting out of touristville center to discover this hidden gem of a warung. In fact, I found it to be far superior in terms of taste, quality, and value compared to the popular Warung Bu Jero in the city center.

After my dinner, I sat down with Tupu and his friend around a glass of arak to discuss his dream of opening a bigger shop down in the city center so he can reach more customers. I cross my fingers for him and hope he can make his...

The food is out of this world, i really love how they cook the calamari. So well cooked.. not rubbery at all.. the red snapper is so fresh and delicious too with sambal matah sauce and garlic sauce. Completely in harmony with the grilled seafood that they served.

The price is very reasonable for these amazing food. You really can compare the food here with other seafood restaurant that you find.

The view is nice, you can see lombok island, and mount agung if the sky is clear.

In conclusion, Warung Sari Laut is a hidden gem that you will find in east side of Bali. And the best thing is, this warung is not tourist oriented. I will be back...
