Best of Bali Food & Drink in 2018: A Year of Good Eats, in Review

It’s been a fun, food-filled year for Coconuts Bali. 

As we get ready to say “selamat jalan” to 2018, we want to bring you through some of our favorites from the Food & Drink section, shared here in chronological order.

What with the launch of our Coco Food and Coco Travel verticals this year, we definitely got busy stuffing our faces and drinking all the booze from Q2 onwards … You know, in the name of research.

That time we shadowed one of Bali’s hottest bartenders for a night out on the town:

That time we ate roasted duck in the rice fields at one of the kitschiest places ever but loved (nearly) every minute of it:

That time we consumed our monthly allotment of caffeine in one night, during a multi-course dinner of quirkily creative dishes centered around coffee:

That time we fell in love all over again with *homemade* pastrami in Batu Bolong:

That time we investigated whether Gatsby himself would approve of a Prohibition-era-themed fine dining restaurant:
