Redpoint StudioSafest seafood restaurants in Bali
29 places that reviewers rarely say made them sick.
By Redpoint Studio, makers of Bali Belly · Updated 4 November 2026 · Scores from October 2026
Short answer
29 seafood restaurants across Bali scored in our low-risk band (80+) on at least 300 public reviews. Of the areas we cover, the most are in Sanur (4), Kuta (4) and Nusa Dua (4), with 14 more elsewhere on the island. The highest scorers include Bandar Nelayan Seafood (100), Ikan Bakar Cianjur - Renon (100) and Warung Be Pasih (98).
Seafood is the food people worry about most in Bali, and with good reason: raw or poorly stored shellfish and fish are a classic cause of stomach trouble in warm climates. These are the seafood and ikan bakar (grilled fish) restaurants across the island whose reviews contain the fewest reports of getting sick.
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.

A note on how you order
Even at a low-risk restaurant, how you order matters. Fish that is grilled or fried to order and served hot is lower risk than raw dishes, and the Bali Belly score doesn't distinguish between menu items.
How to pick fresh seafood in Bali
- Whole fish should have clear, bright eyes, red gills and firm flesh that springs back when pressed.
- It should smell of the sea, not of fish. A strong fishy or ammonia smell is a sign it is past its best.
- Seafood on display should sit on plenty of ice, out of the sun.
- Ask for it grilled or fried to order, and eat it while it is hot.
- Prawns, squid and shellfish should be cooked through: firm and opaque, not translucent.
- Raw dishes carry more risk than anything cooked. CDC travel advice is to favour food that is cooked and served hot.
Quick answers
Are oysters safe to eat in Bali?
Raw oysters are one of the higher-risk things you can order anywhere warm, because nothing has been cooked off. If you want them, a busy, high-scoring restaurant with fast turnover lowers your risk, and cooked oysters are lower risk than raw ones.
Is sashimi safe in Bali?
Raw fish depends on careful cold storage from boat to plate. A well-reviewed Japanese restaurant that serves a lot of it is a lower-risk choice than a place where raw fish is an occasional extra, and cooked dishes are lower risk still.
Is calamari safe in Bali?
Squid that is fried or grilled to order and served hot is a lower-risk seafood choice. The risk goes up when it has been cooked earlier and left out, so it is worth ordering it fresh and eating it straight away.
How do I know if prawns are cooked properly?
Cooked prawns are firm and opaque, pink or orange on the outside and white all the way through. Grey, translucent flesh means they need longer. Send them back if they are not cooked through.
Is frozen seafood worse than fresh in Bali?
Not necessarily. Seafood frozen soon after it is caught and kept frozen can be a lower risk than fresh seafood that has spent hours in the heat. What matters most is that it is kept cold and then cooked through.
