Build a Kintamani day around Batur Sari Restaurant
Batur Sari Restaurant sits in Kintamani, so start with hotel prices and pick a base along the crater rim facing Mount Batur. Then look at activity packages, since the Mount Batur sunrise trek and the Toya Bungkah hot springs are easy to add to the trip. Finally, price a car: the rim road is steep and unlit and the trailhead is a dark early drive. The three links below go straight to each.
Batur Sari is the classic Kintamani stop, a large buffet room built to face the volcano, and a fixture on most organised day tours out of Ubud and the south.
At 4.0 it rates below the newer cafes, and the food is straightforward buffet fare rather than a destination in itself. What it does offer is a reliable, sheltered lunch with a full caldera view, which on a wet-season afternoon is worth more than it sounds.
