One of my enjoyable things to do in Bali is to catch a bemo down the street to the early morning market (5.30/6am is a good time to go). Hail a bemo along the main street (Jalan Danau Tamblingan) and tell them you want to go to the Pasar Pagi (morning market). Ask your hotel if you are not sure where it is so you are heading in the right direction. Costs 5,000 rupiah for a bemo ride anywhere along the Sanur strip, have correct change to give the driver when you get dropped off. Walk through the motorbike car park area and you will discover a hive of activity with locals doing their daily shopping for vegetables, meat, fish, flowers, offerings. You'll find the bali coffee/kopi stall on the northern end of the rows of stalls where you can get an 'eyes wide open' genuine bali kopi to drink while you wake up and watch the goings on. At the northern end just outside the large hall you will find the ladies making and selling the bantens (little daily offerings full of flowers) and also some snack vendors selling yummy snacks. Just hand over 5,000 and you'll get a little bag of freshly cooked pisang goreng (small fried bananas) or vegetable or tofu fritters. Also some shops selling clothes, sarongs etc. Other shops there sell kitchenware, spices, traditional fabrics/sarongs/traditional temple offering items. Great for taking photos, just ask first though and you'll usually be rewarded with a big smile. Show them the photo afterwards and when/if you visit Bali again get copies printed out to give them next time.

The map location is incorrect. So check before you go. It's further north by about 500m-1km once the street curves. Just cross over the road and you should see it. There's lots of fresh produce and people cooking meals off to the side. The locals don't mind you taking photos of you ask politely.

Couldn't see a separate review of the night markets, but they are in the same place as the morning markets. A very lively place, not many tourists mostly locals.
Good selection of items on sale mostly for non tourist sales and sizes. Lots of different stuff for sale, well worth a look. It is a dark market in spots so we were careful not to go down those aisles and also not to be led there by vendors with the "perfect buy".

The morning market is a alive with every imaginable food. Local vendors offer fresh vegetables, meat, flowers, spices and herbs, fish and all kinds of offerings that are used at the temples. You can purchase snacks ready to eat and try lots of interesting food even in small quantities. It's a wonderful place to people watch. Be early.

We liked going to this market in the morning to buy our mangoes and banana's. The mangoes even though green in colour are ripe and nice and sweet. I personally like the Durians and love the smell of it. To some it stinks, but I grew up with durians and this market caters for it. Just as well we rent a villa when we are in Sanur as most of the hotels ban the durians. Actually most of the fruit that grows in Bali or else where is available at this market which backs as a night café if you wish to eat a bit rough but authentic made food like the locals eat. It is fun and do have a go, but stick to the food being cooked whilst you order it.

Went to these markets in the morning and again at night for dinner. Morning markets great buz and great way to see locals shopping. The choice of food at night was good and the prices unbelievable. Bakso (Soup with minced chicken or beef balls) 10,000 R. Or martabax telor ayam - worth watching him making them as much as eating them. Unlike other food markets the tables are only for food from that food hawker. Dinner for 2 - 50,000 R.

The traditional market has everything you need and more! Mornings based more on fruits/vegetables and as many people self cater this is the place to buy fresh! Please do not worry about language and costs - just ask "berapa" how much?
Go equipped with pen and paper and ask them to write price down, best way. If you think it is too expensive, try another stall!
The night market kicks off about 6 pm and the food is great and very affordable - you will also find some clothes/shoes/jewellery stalls and many locals eat there, so you know the food is good! Try the local "martabak" either sweet or savoury, it is awsome but make sure you have friends to share it with you!

Love this market... Fantastic place to visit in the morning to see locals shopping for the day, in the evening the car park becomes a hawker style food market with fresh food cooked in front of you. Most meals around 10,000 rp! . Favorites include Pork in Balinese sauce for 30,000rp including rice. Beautiful deep fried Jackfruit and deserts for 5,000rp. Have eaten there many times and have never been sick.

Cheap local food. Good juices. Plenty of foreigners around. There's one amazing martabak (local omelette style savoury and sweet) stall and the sate chicken straight to your left at the second entrance are great. AVOID the blue sate stall approximately five back on your left run by muslim women with bad attitudes - very rude and try to rip off all tourists. Do not give them any business. Otherwise good local dining options.

Hi Anthony,
I am coming to Bali with my mum and brother who have never been to Asia before. We'll be spending 6 nights in Sanur (as a change from our last trip where we stayed in Seminyak...I thought something a little quieter would be better for my family). I am wanting to take them out to the night market and show them a little piece of Indonesian life and cuisine but i'm worried about what we should eat. Your review mentions the Martabak. Are there any other fail safe items that are not too 'out there'. My family aren't really into spicy or fishy flavours in their food but i'd love them to try. What would you recommend? One of us is vegetarian. We will also have our 5 yr old with us. Any tips of what we could get him to eat? And of course we all love our desserts. Thanks for your help. Dani

You will find lots of options as most of the food isn't too spicy...the sauces, chilli etc is generally on the table to add yourself. You can also request it to not be spicy. There are also plenty of vegetarian options everywhere in Bali - including the market. Most vendors speak some English or there is always someone around to help translate if needed. Simple dishes include nasi Goreing (fried rice), Mie Goreing (fried noodle), soups, capcay (vegetables in broth), fried finger food like tofu, Tempe, sweet potato, fried banana and spring rolls (lumpia), satay. At the martabak stand they also have Terang Bulan which is a Delicious sweet pancake ...you have the choice of adding peanuts, chocolate, banana etc topped off with susu (condensed milk) and there is also a stall with sweet local dessert.
I'm sure you'll find plenty to suit everyone in your group! Enjoy 😋
PS - some handy Bahasa for the vegetarian
'Tidak Daging' (no meat)
'Sayur Sahaja' only vegetable
If egg is okay
Telur = egg
Most seem to understand vegetarian as I eat most vegetarian here!

Not on this market that I know! However if you are after real art products the best place to go is Ubud or Mass. I classify art here as in good paintings, woven and hand made batiks, silk products, nice carvings. Obviously the prices are well above the street art you can buy anywhere in Sanur or Kuta. Also statues (local stone) in Batu Bulan and some exquisite wooden furniture along the road to Ubud and further North. Around Ubud and Mass you may buy some gold and silver jewelry and or table ware and intricate silver statues. Again the prices are of course adjusted to the quality. If you are after modest type of local art ware, go to the Mata Hari shopping center in Kuta or any other center, you will find all sorts of artsy nick knacks, 13 in a dozen. Most of all just enjoy the "LOOKING AROUND" and make sure what you want.
After all art is in the eye of the beholder.

can you tell me the hours morning and night please
Written April 13, 2015
The Sanur morning markets open at 8.00am - closing at 5.00pm. Some stalls were still opening around 10.30am. There are stalls with children's, ladies garments, a painting gallery worth a visit - if the artist (elderly chap) is there worth watching him paint. Also worth a look for those who wish to purchase metal ornaments ie chooks, owls, geckos, wind chimes.
