Run by a Belgian couple, the wonderful menu is as interesting as the decor. This Belgian couple’s knack and passion for finding antiques and curios from all over the archipelago, primarily began for their interior clientele and has Balique showcasing the best of their personal collection – and what an amazing collection it is to behold.

Balique is located on the main Jimbaran high street in front of Intercontinental Hotel.

Jimbaran is just south of the airport and Kuta. This was formerly a real backwater of south Bali, just a tiny fishing village with a daily market. The bay itself has a pleasant white sand beach and is very safe for swimming. The three clusters of grilled seafood restaurants on the beach are a major tourist draw in the evenings, as is the truly stunning sunset.

That all started to change in the 1980s and Jimbaran is now home to several world class 5 star beach resorts, plus many more moderate mid-market hotels plus many moderate to high-end villas in this area, particularly on the ridges of high ground above Jimbaran Bay. This has resulted in monikers such as the "Beverly Hills of Bali" or "Millionaire's Row".
