FAQs about Bawang Merah Beachfront Restaurant, Kelan Beach, Jimbaran Bay
Q: Where exactly is Bawang Merah located in Jimbaran Bay?
Bawang Merah Beachfront Restaurant sits on Kelan Beach, the northernmost stretch of Jimbaran Bay, about 3 km north of Jimbaran village. We’re part of Jimbaran Bay’s newer dining area, opened after 2010, offering the same beachfront seafood experience with more space and a quieter setting.
Q: Is Kelan Beach part of Jimbaran Bay?
Yes. Jimbaran Bay is a roughly 3 km stretch of coastline that includes several beach areas – Jimbaran village to the south, Kedonganan in the middle, and Kelan to the north. Bawang Merah is located on Kelan Beach, the bay’s newest seafood dining area.
Q: How far is Bawang Merah from the main Jimbaran seafood restaurants?
We’re about 3 km north, on Kelan Beach. It’s a short drive along the same coastline — close enough to be part of the same Jimbaran Bay seafood tradition, far enough to offer a more spacious, relaxed beachfront setting.
Q: How far is Bawang Merah from the airport?
Bawang Merah at Kelan Beach is about 10-15 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport, making it a convenient stop for a sunset dinner right after landing or before a late flight.
Q: How fresh is the seafood at Bawang Merah?
Our seafood is sourced daily and prepared on-site – you can select your fish, prawns, crab, or lobster before it’s grilled to order over charcoal.
Q: Is the seafood at Bawang Merah hygienic and safe to eat?
Yes. Our seafood is handled and prepared fresh daily on-site, grilled to order in full view of guests, following standard food-safety practices for beachfront dining.
Q: How does Bawang Merah ensure transparent, fair pricing?
All our seafood is weighed and priced on a fixed, printed menu. Our scales are calibrated and displayed openly, so there are no surprises on the bill. As is standard practice in the Bali hospitality industry, all menu prices are subject to 10% government tax and service charge (6% at our place; can differ at other places), which are added to the final bill — this is noted on every menu.
Q: Does Bawang Merah have fixed menu prices, or is pricing negotiated?
Pricing is fixed and printed on our menu. We don’t negotiate seafood prices table-to-table – the price you’re quoted is the price you pay.
Q: Does Bawang Merah have parking?
Yes, we have ample, free parking directly in front of the restaurant on Kelan Beach.
Q: Does Bawang Merah accept credit cards, or cash only?
We accept both cash (IDR) and major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, JCB, UnionPay). Amex and Diners cards can be handled with a small surcharge.
Q: Is Bawang Merah halal?
No. Bawang Merah is a pork-free restaurant. No pork, no lard. However, Bawang Merah is not a “halal-certified” restaurant. Since we also offer alcohol on our menu, we cannot obtain halal certification.
Q: Is Bawang Merah suitable for large groups?
Yes. Our spacious beachfront setting on Kelan Beach means we can comfortably accommodate group dinners without guests needing to share tables with other parties — we regularly host groups of 100+ for events.
