At the end of the pier, a beautifully set up table awaits with soft music from bamboo xylophones to accompany the sound of the ocean, making for a perfectly romantic scene. Once voted as the “Most Romantic Dining Venue in Bali”, here you can also lure her with an equally beautifully presented five-course lobster dinner with marvellous dessert prior to popping the question.
