Kuta’s food tours offer satisfying ways to discover Bali’s rich culinary scene. These well-organized experiences range from interactive cooking classes to evening market visits. I’m especially fond of the Chef Balinese Indonesian Food Cooking Class – the local chef shares family recipes and techniques that you’ll actually use back home. The Bali Small Group Street Food tour stands out for its intimate approach to iconic dishes like Babi Guling (suckling pig), while the evening Sanur Village Market tour provides the most authentic taste of local life.
