Healthy Food in
Pererenan

Butter is the place we use most. It is on Jalan Sempol, minutes from MAR Bali, and it is where we go after training, after Pilates, or whenever we want something clean without thinking about it. You build your own plate by choosing a protein, a carb and a fat from a short menu, and they do those few things very well.

The meat quality is excellent for the price, the sweet potatoes and fries are addictive, and the kitchen does not use vegetable oils, which is rare. The space is mostly open-air with a small air-conditioned section, and it is busy with people coming straight from the gyms and studios nearby. We order from here on Gojek all the time.

Openhouse works on a similar build-your-own idea, with a broader menu and a beachside setting that makes it feel more like a meal out. The portions are generous by any standard and the ingredients are consistently fresh, which is why it is one of the most popular healthy spots in Pererenan.

The queues are real. The space is small for the volume it handles, and at peak times you will wait for a table. Gojek delivery works well, although delivery times stretch when they are busy.

Savor is where we go to slow down. The restaurant is fully enclosed, with strong air conditioning and comfortable sofas, and it is easy to stay longer than planned.

The menu is broader and more café-style than Butter or Openhouse: customisable plates, protein coffees, shakes and protein pancakes that are worth the trip on their own. The plates are not quite at the level of Butter or Openhouse for quantity and variety, but they are consistently good. Service is slow, so come without a schedule.

Pump Kitchen has only a few tables and a very clear focus. The owner is a bodybuilder, and that shapes the menu, the portions and the philosophy: this is food for people who train seriously.

Expect rice creams, protein pancakes, high-protein waffles and a rotating selection of fitness-focused meals. The mango shrimp rice and the homemade pasta bolognese are excellent. There is also a display of ready-made meals to take away, and because seating is limited, Gojek is often the better option. The food travels well.

Tumboo is a healthy takeaway counter in the middle of Pererenan, not a restaurant: there are no dining tables. It is built for pickup and Gojek delivery, and it does that very well.

Every day the kitchen prepares a different selection of meals with protein, vegetables and carbohydrates already balanced. They post the day’s menu on Instagram each morning, so you can decide before you order. It is not the most exciting place in this guide, but on a busy day it makes eating well effortless.
