Among the simple warungs lining the Amed coast, Sails Restaurant holds a spot that’s hard to beat: a raised terrace on the Lean headland in Bunutan village, Karangasem, overlooking the bay where fishermen’s jukung outriggers rest. This long-running restaurant is known among travellers as the place for a “slightly special” dinner in East Bali—with a tidy kitchen, attentive service and consistently positive guest reviews.
Why Sails Is Worth a Visit
- The view: tables on the open, elevated terrace face the Amed coastline; arrive before sunset, when the sky starts to change colour.
- The vibe: relaxed Bali style, clean and quiet—ideal for a dinner for two or a small celebration after a day of diving.
- Pick-up service: Sails is known for collecting guests from accommodation around Amed—confirm when you book your table.
Dishes Guests Often Praise
The menu leans more Western than most restaurants in Amed, but Indonesian options are still on offer.
- Seafood: fresh grilled fish such as mahi-mahi, and fish wrapped in banana leaf.
- Western plates: steak, lamb medallions, pork ribs, pasta and fish and chips.
- Local flavours: chicken satay and other Indonesian dishes.
- Dessert & drinks: sweet pancakes that guests often recommend, plus a cocktail and wine list.
Tips for Your Visit
- Book ahead in peak season (July–August and the year-end holidays) to get a table at the edge of the terrace.
- Lean is about a 10–15 minute drive east of Jemeluk Bay along a winding coastal road; take care if you ride a scooter at night.
- Prices are upper-mid-range by Amed standards—budget extra if you plan to order wine.
