Quick answers
What is the safest place to eat in Nusa Dua?
By Bali Belly score, Udupi Indian Restaurant Nusa Dua (100), Sun.n.Sand BeachFront (89) and Sunda Kelapa By Pass (88) lead the Nusa Dua list among places with plenty of reviews. A score reflects what reviewers report, not an inspection, so treat it as a way to narrow down where to eat, then choose on food.
Can you drink the tap water in Nusa Dua?
Tap water across Bali, Nusa Dua included, isn't treated to a drinking standard, so travel advice is to drink sealed bottled water or water from a filtered refill station, and to brush your teeth with it too. Our tap water guide covers the details.
If a Nusa Dua restaurant isn't on this list, is it unsafe?
No. A place can be missing because it has fewer than 300 reviews, which is too few for a reliable score, 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.
