Last Update: February 18th, 2026
Stunning beaches, natural beauty, and snorkeling — this is Bali. This tropical paradise in Indonesia, the westernmost of the Lesser Sunda Islands, is a dream for many travelers who seek sunshine and happy vibes. Bali’s locals are some of the friendliest in Southeast Asia, and the food is full of color and variety. We recommend the 12 best and coolest restaurants on the island.
Tip #1: Santanera
Santanera promises you a wonderful time. The menu combines Latin American cuisine with Mediterranean influences and the best ingredients the island has to offer. After your meal, delicious drinks await you at the rooftop bar, promising an all-around successful evening.
In addition to the menu, we must also highlight the surroundings in which you will dine: lots of plants, herringbone floors, marble tables, and leather banquettes make this a truly beautiful place. The floor-to-ceiling windows also give you the feeling of dining outdoors.

Tip 2: Copenhagen
A foodie experience to remember! This is what Copenhagen offers its visitors. The Nordic eatery has three locations on the island: Canggu, Berawa, and Pererenan. It has ‘Island rituals with a Scandic spin’ written on its door.
Local, sustainable, and seasonal food is what all three locations of Copenhagen offer. Every few months, the menu changes to feature the current fruits and produce of Bali.
The concept behind Copenhagen is simple but delicious, like the Scandinavian lifestyle. Build your own breakfast and make it as small or big as you want. With eggs, dairy, protein, and bakery treats, there are 25 dishes to choose from.
The lunch menu shows off a variety of smørrebrød, a traditional Scandinavian open-faced sandwich, usually made with buttered rye bread and cold cuts, meat, fish, spreads, and garnish.

Tip #3: Santorini Greek Restaurant
This authentic Greek restaurant invites guests to a Greek dinner in a warm, family atmosphere. The first location of Santorini Greek Restaurant was opened in 2011 by the head of the family, Mama Nitsa. The restaurant offers a journey to the beautiful Greek island of Santorini with authentic flavors and Greek music in all of its three locations: Kuta, Seminyak, and Canggu.
Quality Greek delicacies, food the family grew up with, are featured on their menu and cooked by the family themselves. Guests can enjoy a typical Greek breakfast, Greek sandwiches, omelets, and homemade Greek yogurt.
Traditional appetizers like spanakopita (spinach pie with feta cheese) and dolmades (beef and rice rolled in cabbage) are prepared by chefs who are familiar with authentic Greek cuisine. Moussaka, stuffed bell peppers, and souvlaki are just a few mains on an extensive menu with great vegetarian and vegan food options.

Tip #4: Sensorium
‘Stimulate your senses’ is the motto of Sensorium. William Salim is the chef and mastermind behind the concept. The young head chef grew up in Medan but spent most of his life in Australia.
In his clean and minimalistically designed café, Salim is eager to tell a story through his food and enjoys bringing people together. The interior is as elegant as the menu.
The chef specializes in fusion cuisine, letting Australian brunch culture meet the Asian culinary scene. On his menu, he stimulates all five senses by serving an all-day brunch with Brunch Ramen, Kimchi Ramen, Korean and Chinese scrambled eggs, or Pork Belly and Chicken rice bowls.
The Textural of Mushroom dish is as beautiful on the plate as it sounds. Mocktails, coffee drinks, and fresh juices accompany the brunch choices.

Tip #5: Luigi’s Hot Pizza
Pizza is a comfort food all over the world, including Bali. This was the conclusion of foodies Maurice Terzini and Adrian Reed. Terzini and Reed imported a wood-fired pizza oven from Naples and started Luigi’s Hot Pizza shop in the heart of Canggu.
The dough is naturally raised for 24 hours and 100% handmade, just like the pasta, which is made in-house daily. Luigi’s is way more than a regular pizza place. The pizza can be ordered by the meter, with 16 slices and four toppings to choose from.
Fans love the healthy salad variations and the subs, and enjoy the location as a party place with live music and great drinks. Luigi’s apple cake, tiramisu, and a refreshing gelato make a hot night in Bali memorable.

Tip #6: Sea Circus Restaurant & Bar
It’s like a circus: colorful and full of surprises. Sea Circus Bali is the brainchild of Josh Herdman and Charlie Hunton. The two advertisers from Australia booked a one-way ticket to Bali and opened a fabulous restaurant, café, and cocktail bar located on one of the busiest streets in Seminyak.
In the morning, it’s a busy breakfast restaurant; later, it becomes a lunch spot, an afternoon coffee spot, and, in the evening, a hangout for dinner and cocktails. The breakfast is mainly focused on eggs, burgers, burritos, and pancakes. For vegan guests, Sea Circus serves a scrambled tofu option.
Lunch is a good time to try the restaurant’s taco bar (which is mostly gluten-free). They are also famous for their fish & chips, a lovely dinner idea on a hot Bali day. Sea Circus is probably the most colorful restaurant in Bali, Indonesia, and a must-visit on the island.

Tip #7: Warung Segara
In Bali, the term ‘warung’ refers to a small street-food shop. Seminyak is full of fancy spots, luxurious restaurants, and hip places. But real Balinese food in all its authenticity is often found in the local small street-food shops.
Segara is one of them and one of the most praised. This place is not about being fancy; it’s about Balinese culture, with a simple interior featuring wooden structures and Balinese decor.
The food is a journey into authentic Indonesian culture. No fusion, no fancy plating, but a wow effect for the taste buds. Try the fried fish and prawns, the Bebek Betutu (slow-roasted duck marinated in local spices), or the stir-fried noodles with chicken and vegetables.
Every meal is a tribute to family tradition and recipes. The prices are moderate, and vegetarian options are available.

Tip #8: Sababa
In the heart of Canggu, Sababa Restaurant awaits you with delicious Middle Eastern cuisine and an East-Mediterranean vibe.
The menu promises grilled meat specialties, chicken shawarma, delicious mezze, and so much more. We recommend starting with a drink from the restaurant bar and finishing with one of the delicious desserts.
The dishes are also great for sharing, so if you can’t decide between all the wonderful choices, just find a partner who feels the same way, and you can both enjoy twice as much! The ambiance combines Middle Eastern style with Balinese character.

Tip #9: Bali Asli
Bali Asli is not just a restaurant; it’s the dream and vision of Executive Chef and Director Penelope Williams.
The Bali Asli restaurant promotes Balinese cuisine with a fair-trade character. It embraces the community, working together with small farmers and nature instead of exploiting them. The restaurant cooks on wood-fired mud-brick stoves and grows its ingredients in its own garden.
Bali Asli doesn’t have a fixed menu and operates by reservation only. Guests can purchase a ‘Bali Asli Nasi Campur lunch’ — Balinese cuisine served in two courses, prepared using traditional techniques and wood fires. It also includes an aperitif and a cocktail for each person.
The other option is a ‘Bali Asli Megibung lunch’, classic East Balinese fare served in three courses, prepared traditionally (aperitif and cocktail included). Williams‘ project also operates a cooking school.

Tip #10: Koral
Koral is the first aquarium restaurant in Bali. Award-winning chef Andrea Astone is the mastermind in the kitchen, providing modern Asian-European dishes with a twist.
Locally sourced, fine ingredients are served in an underwater world at The Apurva Kempinski Bali. Elegant dishes and a hypnotic soundtrack provide an overall mystic experience.
Ten meters below sea level, surrounded by impressive underwater life, guests can also witness divers swimming with the sea life while enjoying dinner. Teak wood ceilings and walls made of red clay bricks, huge windows, and a glass-roofed tunnel give guests the chance to watch tropical fish.
In the meantime, on the plate, the ‘Koral Degustation’ offers a seven-course meal with lobster, chicken, seabass, and more.

Tip #11: Kynd
Kynd is way more than a café concept. The Kynd community encompasses books, two café locations, and online cooking classes. Corryn Queenan and Lauren Camilleri started as a 20-seat café back in 2017.
Today, two locations in Seminyak and Canggu are part of the Kynd family. They also added a pizzeria, an ice cream shop, and an apparel store. Everything is plant-based.
Kynd is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is one of the most innovative vegan restaurants on the island. Everything that regular restaurants feature on their menus is available at Kynd as a plant-based version.
The vegan fried egg, the smoky plant-based bacon, chicken curry, and the Bigger Mac burger — it’s a plant-based foodie wonderland. Even for gluten-free eaters, the menu is properly marked.

Tip #12: Mauri Restaurant
If you’re craving the best pasta, we recommend Mauri Restaurant. This place to eat in Bali offers Italian fine dining and the best Mediterranean cuisine.
Take a seat in a modern restaurant with a view of the open kitchen. All dishes are works of art on your plate and beautifully presented.
This is the perfect place for a fine lunch or dinner. Are you looking for brunch in Bali? Then you’ve come to the right place, because on Sundays, Mauri welcomes you for just that.
