Cafe Batu Jimbar

Cafe Batu Jimbar is a long-running cafe on Jl. Danau Tamblingan in Sanur, the seaside district of Denpasar in Bali, Indonesia. The address, No. 75A, places it on the main restaurant strip that runs through the heart of Sanur, a short walk from the beachfront promenade. The cafe is known for serving Indonesian breakfast dishes alongside Balinese-style plates, making it a useful stop for visitors who want local morning food rather than only Western brunch.

The cuisine is Indonesian with an international leaning. Signature dishes include bubur Manado, a savoury porridge of rice and pumpkin with vegetables and greens from North Sulawesi; bubur ayam, the chicken rice porridge eaten across Indonesia as a morning staple; lontong sayur, compressed rice cakes in a vegetable curry broth; and a crab omelette that is among the heavier items on the menu. These dishes give the cafe a character closer to a neighbourhood eatery than a trend-driven brunch room.

The dining room is relaxed and informal, with no dress code. Noise comes mainly from street traffic and conversation rather than music, and the pace suits slow breakfasts. There is no notable wine programme; coffee, tea, juices and soft drinks make up the beverage list. Hours run long, daily from 06:30 to 23:00, so the cafe can serve an early breakfast, a midday meal or a late snack.

Prices are modest. A typical visit costs roughly IDR 70,000 to 180,000 per person, about US$4 to 10, depending on dishes and drinks; this is an estimate rather than a posted rate. Reservations are not normally required and the venue operates on a walk-in basis, with a phone number listed at +62 361 289162 for groups or questions. Because the cafe sits on a busy road in a tourist district, mornings between about 08:00 and 10:00 can be the most crowded. Visitors who prefer a quieter table often arrive at opening or in the mid-afternoon. As the menu leans on rice, eggs and chicken, it suits travellers looking for a filling, inexpensive Indonesian breakfast in Sanur.
