What makes this food tour special? It’s not just about tasting delicious dishes — it’s a window into Balinese culture. You’ll get to try Babi Guling, a traditional roast pork dish that’s usually reserved for ceremonies. So while you’re enjoying the flavors, you’re also learning about the customs and rituals that make Bali unique.
Can the tour cater to special dietary requirements? We do our best, but since this tour focuses on authentic local gastronomy, some of the places we visit aren’t able to accommodate dietary needs. Unfortunately, we’re unable to cater for vegetarian, vegan diets or gluten allergies/intolerances.
Can I bring my young kids along? This tour is best suited for adults and older children — unfortunately, little ones under 6 aren’t permitted. Also, keep in mind that the food experience is very local and authentic, so there won’t be any “kids’ meals” available.
What kind of food will I get to try on this tour? Get ready for a true taste of Bali! You’ll sample a variety of local favorites, including: Jaje Bali – a traditional Balinese dessert, often colorful and made from rice flour and coconut. Babi Guling – a ceremonial-style roast suckling pig, cooked on a rotisserie and packed with flavor. Indonesian soups like Bakso (meatball soup). Each dish tells a story — and you’ll get to hear it while tasting your way through Bali’s culinary traditions.
