Nestled gracefully on Jalan Crystal Bay in the serene heart of Nusa Penida, Kima Bay Restaurant & Bar offers an exquisite dining retreat that flawlessly blends laid-back tropical vibes with sophisticated culinary craftsmanship. This charming eatery, perched amidst lush jungle surroundings, invites guests to unwind in a peaceful, almost dreamlike ambiance that soothes the soul from the moment you step in.
At Kima Bay, the kitchen showcases an eclectic mix of flavors, expertly crafted to delight a broad palate while paying homage to the island’s vibrant culinary spirit. Diners rave about their perfectly balanced poke bowls, which burst with fresh textures and subtle, harmonious spices — a refreshing choice after a day exploring Bali’s natural beauty. The burger and nasi goreng come highly recommended, delivering comforting yet elevated tastes that celebrate both local and international influences.
The restaurant also dazzles with expertly prepared pasta dishes that attract attention for their enticing presentation and rich, savory notes. The beef tenderloin earns high praise for its tender melt-in-your-mouth quality, while the detox juices add a refreshing, invigorating touch that couples perfectly with the surrounding jungle’s calm energy. Although some diners found dessert options like the lava cake to be less consistent, the breadth of main courses more than compensates, ensuring a memorable meal every time.
The space itself is nothing short of magical. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame an expansive jungle vista, creating a seamless connection between the stunning natural environment and the restaurant’s rustic-chic interior. The atmosphere is undeniably warm and inviting, enhanced by live music that sets a mellow, joyful tone ideal for both intimate dinners and lively gatherings. Friendly, attentive staff add to this sense of hospitality, making every guest feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.
Kima Bay's pricing is refreshingly accessible, providing exceptional value without compromising quality or experience — a rare find on the island.

A lovely little spot not far off Crystal Beach. Super chill vibes and beautiful Ambiente. Unfortunately, they didn’t have half of the things I wanted to order - coconut, coffee, falafel. But the service was super sweet and accommodating and almost made up for it. My poke bowl was tasty although maybe a bit of a small portion, the pasta also looked great. Would definitely come back!

We really enjoyed the burger and nasi goreng! The place is spacious with a nice jungle view, creating a great atmosphere. However, we ordered the lava cake for dessert, and it took a long time to come out — and honestly, it wasn’t that good. I’d recommend sticking to the main dishes!

I had the pleasure of enjoying a truly delicious lunch at this beautiful restaurant. The view over the jungle was outstanding, and the design of the restaurant, both inside and outside, is very unique and charming. The detox juice was absolutely delicious. Pleasant music and top-notch service made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

Everything is wonderful at this place! The location, view, stuff, live music, drinks & dinner! You should definitely try this one out. We had edamame as a starter, pasta and beef tender, lava cake for dessert. We highly recommended the restaurant!

On our way back to our accommodation from Crystal Bay we stopped here for dinner and it was the typical situation when you stumble upon a place to mark on your map. Perfect dinner ambience, staff members super friendly, the food tasty and nicely presented. When we arrived we were alone but within 20-30 minutes the place has filled fully. The prices were cheap. There was even a little performance during our time there. The next day we went back again and asked for take away. Definitely recommend the place!

Quaint little spot that had a beautiful atmosphere for a great dinner! Kima Bay was a short little walk from our villa, so we decided to try it out for dinner and it did not disapppioint. The waitresses were very attentive and careful to explain any questions we had and confirmed we understood. Their blender for juices and frozen drinks was not operating properly while we visited, but that did not impact our order in the slightest, so did not bother us. We happened to visit during happy hour (buy 2 get 1 cocktails), and the drinks were delicious. Pro tip: ask for the gin smash without pineapple juice - it was amazing. We got the bruschetta, crispy chicken burger, pasta carbonara and filet - ALL so delicious! Would ask for the steak cooked at a higher temp than you prefer, I asked for medium (I usually get med rare at home) and it came out perfect. VERY affordable (which is why I got two entrees haha). Great experience
