What grocery stores do expats in your city shop at?

Supermarkets in Bali are modern, full-service stores. Many have bakeries and deli counters, as well as meat, dairy products, canned, frozen and packaged goods that are imported from Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and various other parts of the world. You may also purchase local and imported beer, as well as liquor and wine. Because many foods are imported, prices may be higher than in your home country. Additionally, fresh seafood is abundant and locally produced poultry and eggs of good quality are available.
Some recommended stores are:
  • Giant
  • Carrefour
  • Bali Deli
  • Pepito’s
  • Kafe Batu Jimbar
  • Galael
  • Matahari
  • Supermarket Bintang
  • Gourmet Garage
  • Animale
  • Milo Designs
  • Paul Ropp
  • By the Sea
  • DFS Galleria
  • Kidsagogo
  • Body & Soul (in Legian and Seminyak)
  • Makro
  • Digon Food Specialties
For more information on these stores, check your local yellow pages or contact Crown Bali.
