Dining at Andaz Bali in Sanur: A Family-Friendly Foodie’s Paradise

I’ve been to plenty of resorts, and I’ve eaten my way through a lot of hotel buffets, but let me tell you: the dining experience at Andaz Bali in Sanur is something else. It’s like they sat down and thought, “What would make a mother happy while wrangling a small human, and how can we make it a family-friendly culinary paradise?” And then they nailed it. Seriously, it’s like someone took the best of fresh seafood, beachside views, and a kid-friendly vibe, and sprinkled it with a touch of local magic.

Andaz Bali hosted my family and I on this stay. All thoughts on the resort and experience are my own. Your trust always comes first! Note that any booking you make through us supports us at no extra cost to you:

Fresh Seafood and Beachfront Dining: The Fisherman’s Club

Let’s talk seafood for a second. The Fisherman’s Club, a beachfront gem that could’ve been plucked from my travel dreams, offers the kind of seafood you don’t just eat—you experience. You can almost hear the waves crashing as you tuck into fresh fish, perfectly grilled prawns, or a heaping platter of local delicacies that just scream “I’m on vacation, living my best life.” We had our feet in the sand, the ocean breeze gently blowing through our hair, and that undeniable sense of satisfaction that only comes when the food is this good.

And while it might sound like a place best suited for an intimate date night, let me assure you: It’s more than accommodating for families. There’s something magical about watching your baby sit contentedly in her high chair while you sip a cold drink and eat fresh seafood under the Bali sky. The atmosphere is laid-back but still elegant, making it feel like a treat for the grown-ups, but the vibe is never too formal for the kiddos.

Breakfast Bliss: A Never-Ending A La Carte Feast

Now, let’s talk about breakfast—because I’m a sucker for a good breakfast spread. But Andaz Bali didn’t just give us any breakfast; they gave us an a la carte complimentary breakfast that felt like a gift from the gods. It wasn’t your usual buffet-style frenzy. Oh no. Instead, we had options—loads of them—where every dish felt thoughtfully curated to suit all tastes. Want a plate of fluffy pancakes drizzled in syrup? Done. Fresh fruit salad to start your day on a healthy note? Absolutely. Traditional Indonesian dishes that make your taste buds do a happy dance? Yes, yes, and yes.

What I loved most about this breakfast experience was how customizable it was. Between the global flavors and the local touches, every family member could find something that made them happy. Even my baby, who still wasn’t entirely sure about solid food, got in on the action with fresh fruit purees and soft scrambled eggs that were just right. Everything is prepared on demand in the open kitchen, ensuring freshness, and fabulousness.

Everything at Your Fingertips: Ordering via QR Code

One of the things I loved about dining at Andaz Bali was the sheer convenience. Upon check-in, we were given a QR code that made ordering and managing our meals so easy it felt almost like magic. Whether we were dining in the Fisherman’s Club, ordering room service, or making a fresh juice request by the poolside, I could pull up the menu right on my phone and place an order without leaving my seat. This streamlined process not only made life easier, but it also gave us the freedom to decide what we wanted when we were ready—no need to flip through paper menus or wait around for a waiter. The QR code system just worked. It’s one of those little touches that, when you have a baby in tow, makes all the difference in the world.

Service With a Smile (And a Napkin Rose)

Okay, now let me tell you about the staff. I’ve traveled with a baby before, and I’m no stranger to the awkward tension that comes with dining out when you’ve got a squirming, fussing little one. But not here. At Andaz Bali, the staff were genuinely wonderful—so warm, so kind, and so patient with our little bundle of joy. One night, when my baby was, let’s say, not quite in the mood to eat, one of the servers surprised her with a napkin rose. It was small, but it was an act of kindness that made all the difference. The gesture was so sweet, it felt like she was saying, “We’ve got you. We see you. We know this phase.” It was such a thoughtful touch, and it turned my fussy baby’s moment into one of those “Aww, this is why I love this place” moments.

The service was consistently excellent—not just at dinner, but across the board. Every time we entered a restaurant or sat down for a meal, we were greeted like old friends, and there was always someone around to help with a high chair or a cup of warm water for baby formula. By day 2, some staff were calling my baby by her name. It was that perfect blend of attentive without being overbearing.

A Taste of Korea: Authentic Korean Cuisine at Andaz Bali

Now, if you’re looking for something a little different while you’re at Andaz Bali, let me point you toward their authentic Korean cuisine. This place is seriously popular with Korean tourists, and for good reason. They’ve got an in-house chef straight from Korea, which means you’re getting the real deal when it comes to traditional dishes. We decided to try the bibimbap and kimchi jjigae (which, let me just say, hit all the right notes), and I’m still dreaming about both.

The Bibimbap was the perfect balance of flavors, with perfectly cooked rice, savory vegetables, and a generous portion of meat topped with a sunny side up. The kimchi jjigae, spicy and satisfying, was exactly the comforting bowl of soup I craved after a day in the Bali sun. Both dishes felt like home-cooked meals, full of love and authenticity. It’s no wonder the restaurant has such a loyal following from Korean guests—it’s truly the kind of food that transports you. Whether you’re a fan of Korean food or just craving something new, you won’t want to miss this culinary gem at the resort.

Dine Well, Relax Well: The Joy of Dining with a Baby

Here’s the thing about traveling with a baby: there’s so much joy, but there’s also a lot of stress. So when you find a place where you can sit down, relax, and eat well—without the constant fear of what’s going to happen next—that’s a real win. Dining at Andaz Bali was one of those rare and beautiful experiences where we could enjoy an amazing meal without feeling rushed or stressed. I didn’t have to worry about the food quality, and I didn’t have to wrangle my baby in a cramped space. We were able to savor every bite and every moment, knowing the staff had our backs.

By the end of our stay, I didn’t just feel like we’d had a wonderful vacation in Bali—I felt like we’d had a wonderful family vacation, where dining out was a pleasure, not a chore. And for that, I’m grateful.
