Build a Kintamani day around Grand Puncak Sari Restaurant
Grand Puncak 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.
The viewing position here is about as direct as Kintamani gets, with the volcano and the lake laid out below the dining terrace. That is why this has been the standard lunch stop for years.
The format is buffet rather than cooked to order, so judge it as a group stop rather than a meal out. The local coffee is worth taking on the terrace afterwards. We would come before the tour coaches, take the view seriously and the food lightly, and not plan the day around it.
Must try:
Balinese and Indonesian buffet spread, local coffee
