How to read this. A Bali Belly score is out of 100 and higher is safer. Every place here scored 80 or more, the low-risk band, on at least 300 public reviews. The score reflects what reviewers say happened to them, not a health inspection, and any meal anywhere can make you sick. Scores last updated October 2026. How the score works.

Why a score and not a ranking of the best

Most “best restaurants” lists are about taste. This one is about a single question: how often do reviewers say they got sick? A low-risk score doesn't make a place the best meal in the area, and a score under 80 doesn't mean a place is unsafe. It means there is less evidence that it is one of the lowest-risk options. Use the list to narrow down where to eat, then choose on food.

Eating well in Bali, beyond the list

Quick answers

Where is the safest place to eat in Bali?

By share of well-reviewed places in our low-risk band, Sanur and Kuta lead the areas we cover, at 27% and 26%. Every area has low-risk places, so the area pages are the place to start.

How many restaurants in Bali are low risk?

Of the 3,366 Bali places with at least 300 public reviews, 770 (23%) scored 80 or more, our low-risk band. We scored 10,548 places in total, but only score a place as reliable once it has 300 reviews.

Are chain restaurants safer in Bali?

Chains with standardised kitchens and fast turnover often score well, and several are in our low-risk band. Plenty of local places score just as high, though, so a chain is not the only lower-risk choice. Our fast food guide has the details.

Does a place not on the list mean it is unsafe?

No. A place can be missing because it has fewer than 300 reviews, or because it scored in the middle band (50 to 79). The list only shows places with strong evidence of being low risk. It says nothing bad about anywhere else.
