Balique is an enchanting vintage brasserie and cocktail lounge located on Jalan Raya Uluwatu in Jimbaran, just a short stroll from the beach. Housed beneath the soaring hand-carved ceilings of a century-old traditional Javanese joglo, the restaurant is adorned with museum-worthy maritime antiques, colonial mirrors, and plush retro furnishings. The kitchen prepares a sophisticated pan-Mediterranean and authentic Indonesian menu, showcasing dishes from slow-braised beef rendang and gado gado to homemade pastas, imported charcuterie, and fresh seafood.
