Where to eat at Icon Bali Mall?
The beach floor towards the back features about 20 restaurants like Akari Sushi, Natys Bar & Grills, Johnny Rockets, and Starbucks. A few of these face the ocean if you’re looking to dine with a view of the beach.
The ground floor has a handful of restaurants, including Golden Monkey and Blossom Steakhouse – highly recommended if you on the prowl for some quality beef and seafood, or a Sunday Roast.
Towards the top, you’ll come across a few more cafes, dessert spots, juice bars, and some dine-in restaurant options. The first floor will have a few familiar names like Subway and Cold Stone. Generally speaking, the mall is well equipped with options when it comes to food.
You can also hunt for local snacks and bites at the Icon Bali Mall Floating Market, which claims to be the largest floating market in Southeast Asia (even though its just sitting on a thin layer of water – not quite floating is it?).
The Floating Market features smaller vendors and stalls that sell food and snacks like Bakso, Klepon, Mie Ayam, Donuts, and fruit juices. There are currently about 25 small vendors here and can be a great place to try some local snacks if you haven’t tried as yet.
How to get to Icon Bali Mall?
If you’re going to Icon Bali Mall with your family or a group of friends, you can book a private car and driver. I work with a some of the best drivers in Bali who will pick you up from your hotel or villa, wait for you while you shop, and take you back at the end of the day – or anywhere else.
Alternatively, if you only plan to spend a few hours shopping at Icon Bali Mall, book a private car and driver half day hire instead. You’ll have 5 hours with your own vehicle and driver without having to worry about transport or taxis to and from the mall.
