Never been to Bali, but this happens everywhere. I really hate it too. In the Angkor Wat grounds our driver said he would take us to a very good restaurant. His English wasn't so hot, but we asked him, "Is it for tourists or local people?" He said, "Local people, it is good place". Ok fantastic. We get there and our driver doesn't come to eat with us. That should have tipped us off. Walk inside, it's 100% tourists. It was flippin expensive (relative to Cambodia) and the food was terrible.

So what is the solution to this problem? Ask the driver to go where he wants to eat? Tell the driver you will pay him extra to take you to eat somewhere else? When he drops you off at the restaurant, just walk somewhere else? Bring your own food? We actually brought our own food the second day in Angkor. We don't want no stinkin over priced tourist trap crap!
