# 1 La Barraca

Cheap and Cheerful

La Barraca, home style italian - friendly and popular little place located a short walk from the villa.    Ice cold beers, reasonable wine and lovely cocktails.      A range of pasta, salads and excellent pizzas which come in three different thicknesses of pizza base.      To top that off, they provide complimentary breads with oil and balsamico to start and finish off with a complimentary lemoncello or cocobeancello.    Can walk in and take a chance at getting a table but we recommend booking.   Use Google maps for directions - about 10 minute walk from the villa.

Fabulous up-market restaurant specialising in spit roasted pork and wood fired barbecue.    Stunning side dishes, cocktails, wines and desserts.    This restaurant is very popular so bookings are a must.   Excellent venue for a special occasion with a mezzanine level for parties and outdoor location overlooking the rice paddies.   About 10 minutes walk from the villa.

#4 Da Maria

#5 The Forge Gastro Pub

Pub style food - moderate to high prices

Very popular gastro pub with a special dish at a special price every night of the week.

Steaks, pies, fish and chips, salads - you get the drill.   Sport on all TVs, beers on tap and great music.

Can walk from the villa but we recommend a taxi.

#6 Mamasan 

South East Asian food  - moderate to high prices

This is more a supper club restaurant and bar - walking distance from the villa.    Part of a very well known stable of innovative restaurants and chef owner.      Dishes served in the tapas style so that many can be chosen to share.   Cocktails, beers, wines and delicious desserts.      Upstairs bar and main restaurant styled in the opulence of 1920s Shanghai.

A must visit style of restaurant.

#7 Ginger Moon Canteen

South East Asian food  - moderate prices

Another venue that is part of a stable of very good restaurants - chef owned.     

South East Asian cuisine, very popular with the Eat Street crowd and never disappoints.

Some of the chilli cocktails are a stand out.

Can walk but suggest a short taxi ride.

#8 Warung Rainbow Kiosk

Indonesian local food - cheap, cheap, cheap.

We threw this in because it is a stand out local - run by a husband and wife team in Sanur on the main street.    It is no bigger than a cupboard and seats approximately 10 people on a walk in basis - you will be lucky to get a table.

The food is exceptional, all cooked fresh and to order and delicious.   Two main dishes with three beers will set you back around AUD12.    Be warned - it is killer hot but worth the sweat.   Definitely a taxi ride from the villa however if you are in the vicinity sight seeing, it is worth a visit.
