Share of places with 300+ reviews that scored low risk, by area

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.

Eating in Uluwatu

This is a short list. It covers Pecatu, which includes Uluwatu and Bingin, and neighbouring Ungasan, and only counts places with enough reviews to score reliably.
Distances are big here, so a reliable cafe near where you are staying is worth more than a ranking you have to drive across the peninsula for.

Is the food in Uluwatu safe?

No part of Bali is risk-free, but you can lower the odds. Of the 146 Uluwatu places with enough reviews to score, 11 (8%) are in our low-risk band, below the Bali figure of 23%. Picking from that list, eating food cooked to order and served hot, and drinking bottled or filtered water all lower your risk.

Quick answers

What is the safest place to eat in Uluwatu?

By Bali Belly score, SODA CAFE (99), leSANDO ~ Coffee | All Day Breakfast | Sourdough Sandwiches (85) and KARMAFREE Surf Shop & Café (84) lead the Uluwatu 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 Uluwatu?

Tap water across Bali, Uluwatu 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 Uluwatu 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.
