Zanzibar restaurant: Blue Ocean Beach Bali

They say there’s a downturn in tourism in Bali. If you was at Blue Ocean Beach this afternoon that would not be your impression at all. I was looking for some lunch after spending a few hours in Kuta. Aiming for Warung Murah on Jl. Double Six, I rode over and could see lines out the door. Not wanting to wait I went to Zanzibar, along the beach. This is one of a few really popular places and with the sun shining, business was booming.

Zanzibar renovated over a year ago, raising the height of the seating area about 3 feet. They added a glass windscreen and now you get an even better view of the beach and surf. The weather over the last couple of days has been phenomenal. We’ve has clear blue skies and scorching sunshine, hefty rain in the early hours. At Zanzibar I ordered a Focaccia Toscana and a watermelon juice for 44,000rp. It was alright. The surf today was good too and with the high tide beginners and locals seemed to be having no problem catching small waves.
