We headed to AKUA de Bilbao for Spanish tapas and cocktails, which was exactly what we felt like and hoped that they were going to be good. We went for: -Balinese clams with garlic & parsley sauce, which were tender and delicious and the side of fresh baked bread allowed us to soak up the saucy goodness. -Andalucian baby squid & aioli, which were melt in your mouth tender. - Homemade chorizo croquettes with béchamel, this wasn't my thing but my partner who is a cheese fan, absolutely loved them. - Green olives stuffed with anchovies - salty goodness. - Chorizo, Salami and Cured Loin from Iberian pig meat platter.. Delicious.. Definitely my thing. - Manchego sheep cheese - as expected it ticked the box. - Piquillo pepper stuffed with beef cheek, béchamel & piquillo sauce.... Now this was friggin amazing. An absolute Gem.. It was tender, and the flavours literally burst in your mouth. I could have had 10 of these. This was my favourite. They also had 2-for-1 cocktails which we just kept flowing, and it was the perfect way to wind down another day in Bali. Dessert was a Burnt baked cheesecake, which I am told (cause I don't like them), was near perfect. I had the Affogato which was a bloody good Affogato. This was a great place to stop by for dinner. We ate 9 dishes and had around 12 generous cocktails for RP2,000,000. Definitely worth it!

AKUA in Jimbaran, Bali, made our wedding anniversary truly unforgettable. The food was exceptional, with flavors that delighted every bite. We were touched by the thoughtful decoration with frangipani flowers, which added a beautiful and romantic touch to the evening. A special thank you to DINI, whose attentive and warm service made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout the night. She was always ready to answer our questions with excellent knowledge and genuine kindness. The desserts and cocktails were outstanding, perfectly complementing our meal. The paella was absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is super clean, well-maintained, and stylishly designed, creating a chic, cozy and comfortable atmosphere. We can’t wait to return to AKUA for another wonderful dining experience!

Lit up with happy smiles and offering attentive service, high quality, delicious food and smooth Spanish wine in a spotless airy restaurant framed by tropical gardens - ideally located just across from Jimbaran Beach. We just had to return for a second dinner. Distinctive colourful sarongs for sale made it easy to take some of the magical memories home as well. Thank you Riska and the Akua Team. What a delightful dining experience

Probably the best barramundi I’ve ever had! Perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful, topped with crispy garlic and served with baked potato that was done just right. Simple but absolutely delicious. This was my second visit to Akua, and once again the food did not disappoint. The quality is consistently high, and everything feels fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a lovely seaside vibe that makes it even more enjoyable. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Jimbaran. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates good food with great flavors and a relaxed setting!
