Sanur has always been the "chill" older sibling of Kuta and Seminyak. It is where you go for sunrises, calm waters, and a more laid-back coastal vibe.
But beyond the seaside cycling paths, Sanur is a goldmine for one of Bali’s most iconic culinary treasures: babi guling.
Finding the perfect babi guling in Sanur is almost a rite of passage for foodies.
Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned Bali regular, the search for that perfect piece of crunchy skin and succulent, spice-rubbed meat is a serious mission.
To help you navigate the local food scene, we’ve rounded up the 10 best spots to enjoy this legendary be guling feast in Sanur:
If you’re looking for a spot that has stood the test of time, Amerta Sari is a must-visit.
Open since 1990, this warung brings the spicy and aromatic flavors of Ababi Village, Karangasem, right to the heart of Sanur.
Their babi guling in Sanur is famous for its bold spice profile.
The Nasi Babi Guling Spesial here is a feast for the senses. It is served with the rice and side dishes on separate plates for the full experience.
You get incredibly crunchy skin, tender meat marinated in rich herbs, Sate Babi, Tum (steamed pork in banana leaves), Babi Genyol, and crispy fried innards.
It’s accompanied by Jukut Don Ubi (cassava leaves) and a warm bowl of Sup Balung (pork bone soup) to balance out the heat.
If you want the freshest cuts and the crispest skin, try to arrive between 8 AM and 10 AM.
Another legend on the Bypass, Warung Babi Guling Sanur is the place to go if you want a generous, succulent portion.
The meat is incredibly "juicy" and tender, having been roasted with a heavy coat of base genep (traditional Balinese spice paste).
Their Nasi Babi Guling Spesial includes iconic elements like urutan (Balinese pork sausage) and a very crispy fried skin that regulars swear by.
While the location on the main highway can be a bit noisy, the nostalgic, traditional atmosphere of the interior makes up for it.
It’s a popular spot for large groups and families, with prices ranging from IDR 40k to 75k depending on the package.
Who says you can’t have be guling with a sea breeze?
Located right at Matahari Terbit Beach, this is the only dedicated babi guling spot on the shore amidst modern cafes. It’s the perfect place for a post-sunrise breakfast.
They offer three main tiers: Pesisir (standard), Special, and Combo.
A typical plate here is loaded: white rice, crispy skin, sate lilit, fresh lawar, urutan, oret (traditional blood sausage), and sambal embe.
The main draw is the flexibility, you can sit in a clean indoor area or opt for the outdoor breeze with a view of the ocean.
They even serve cold beers, making it a great lunch spot after a boat trip from Nusa Penida.
For those who prioritize cleanliness and a homey atmosphere, Nyumu is a top pick.
This warung is very family-friendly and serves an authentic babi guling in Sanur that won't break the bank.
You can choose from three portions: Porsi Biasa (Standard), Spesial, or Hemat (Budget). Their skin is often the star of the show, cut into large, golden, glass-like shards that crackle with every bite.
The meal is served with lawar gedang (papaya-based lawar) and a bowl of rich kuah balung.
It’s one of the few places in the area that feels modern and hygienic while maintaining "old-school" flavors.
Dungki is a true "hidden gem" favored by locals. If you want to avoid "tourist prices" and eat like a Denpasar resident, this is the place.
Their standout item is the Babi Goreng Merah (red fried pork), which is famous for its unique savory kick.
Unlike many spots that use a lot of filler in their sausages, Dungki’s urutan is packed with real meat.
The Sup Balung here is also considered one of the most flavorful in Sanur.
Because the space is very intimate, fitting only about 5 people for dine-in, it feels like eating in someone’s private kitchen. It is a cash-only establishment, so bring small bills!

If you want a "no-frills" traditional experience, Men Lemek is the answer.
Located in a quieter part of Sanur, this place is incredibly affordable (around IDR 25k).
The pork here is known for being exceptionally succulent and fatty in the best way possible.
Their sambal mentah (raw sambal) is praised for being fresh and fiery, providing a sharp contrast to the rich, oily skin.
Since they open at 7 AM, it is a favorite "heavy breakfast" spot for locals.
Pro tip: Arrive before 11 AM, as they often sell out of the best bits long before their official closing time.
While most be guling spots close by late afternoon, BABI GULING ARI is just getting started.
This is the go-to for late-night cravings in Sanur.
The spices here are notably "bold" and the heat level is quite high, perfect for spice hunters.
A standard portion is a texture playground: tender meat, crispy skin, and crunchy fried innards.
It is very affordable, with portions priced at IDR 15k, 20k, or 25k, allowing you to eat according to your hunger level and budget.
Don’t be alarmed by the name, it stands for Nasi Rama Kota Bali.
However, regulars say the flavor is indeed "addictive." Located near the night market area, the atmosphere is vibrant and authentically Balinese.
Their signature is the paru goreng (crispy fried lung) and a special bumbu siram (liquid spice mix) made from base genep that ties the whole plate together.
It is served with a steaming bowl of sup balung to help you handle the sambal.
If you find yourself hungry at 10 PM, this is the savior of Sanur’s culinary scene.
Warung Kania is a local institution.
The space is often described as "dark and cramped," but that only adds to its legendary status as a place where the food does the talking.
They serve a variety of Nasi Campur Babi that includes all the be guling essentials: crispy skin, urutan, fried innards, and pork crackers.
Interestingly, they also serve non-pork items like Ayam Betutu and seafood, making it a great compromise spot if your group has mixed tastes.
It’s almost always packed, so expect a bit of a wait, especially for takeout orders.
We round out the list with a legend that has been around since the 1970s.
Even President Joko Widodo has been spotted eating here.
While it's technically Nasi Campur Bali, the pork elements are top-tier.
The standout component at Men Tinggen is the Abon Babi (pork floss), which adds a sweet-savory dimension you won't find at other stalls.
Located inside the Intaran Market, the vibe is raw and bustling.
It’s the ultimate "after-party" food since it stays open until 4 AM.
Explore Bali with scooter
Let’s be real: trying to find these hidden warungs in a car is a nightmare.
