Our Favorite 25 Lunch Spots In Bali
Canggu
St. Tropez @ FINNS VIP Beach Club
When we want to indulge ourselves with a truly luxurious lunch, there’s only one place to go – St. Tropez at FINNS on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
St. Tropez is more than just a restaurant and it’s regularly ranked as one of the best places to eat in Bali on TripAdvisor.
Their Bottomless Lunch allows you to choose almost anything from their menu, sample the buffet to your heart’s content and enjoy the surroundings of this party spot. It’s only 700,000++ IDR and includes free-flow non-alcoholic drinks.
But wait, there’s more! For just 900,000++ IDR (total) you can enjoy all the food you want and free-flow alcoholic drinks! There is no better deal on the island for a decadent lunch break!
(Yes, you read that right, it’s 3 hours of unlimited alcoholic drinks for less than $30 AUD ($20 USD) per hour. That would normally buy you just 2 cocktails at a cocktail bar here on the island!)

Copenhagen
If you love Danish food, you will feel right at home in Copenhagen Cafe which is tucked away from the main streets of Canggu.
We like to pop in for lunch and no matter what we have from their excellent menu, we always finish with a cinnamon roll – it’s what this place is famous for.
It’s also within walking distance of many of the boutique shops that this part of Canggu is famous for.

Bistro C
If you love a semi-open environment where you’re always under cover in case it rains, but with super views over an open sports field, then you’re going to love Bistro C.
It’s one of our favourite lunch spots and the menu is awesome with a huge range of choices from both local and international cuisines.
We also love the fact that they have a “build your own” menu, where you can specify the ingredients and they will put them together for you.

Avocado Factory
This place is for fans of all things avocado and who doesn’t love avocado? Of course, they do a great breakfast but we prefer Avocado Factory as a lunch spot.
You will find their avocado burger is first rate and that their avo-cheesecake is one of the sweetest treats on the island.
It’s also a very attractive setting that’s best appreciated during the daylight hours.

Seminyak
Bketo Bali
If you want some amazing Balinese food in one of the prettiest environments in Seminyak, then make your lunch spot Bketo Bali.
The service is excellent and if you ask nicely, you will be allowed to use the pool at the resort after lunch.
Try the almond-crusted salmon, it will blow your taste buds right out of your head, it’s that good!

Waroeng Bernadette
It looks very modest from the outside but if you head inside, you will find a modern dining delight with a real focus on Indonesian classics.
Every dish they serve here could be on the front page of a culinary magazine, so take your camera for some awesome Insta shots.
They also have a nice outdoor area at the back, where you can enjoy lunch in the sun.

Kuta & Legian
Johnny Tacos
Not every lunch spot has to serve complicated food, Johnny Tacos does one thing and it does it very well – tacos.
It’s one of the cheapest places to eat lunch in Kuta but the food is a real taste explosion.
We were also really impressed with the range of fresh juices that they have on offer to wash it all down with.

Al Dente Cucina Italiana & Lounge
If you’re in the mood for a taste of Italy with a very homely feel, then Al Dente Cucina is a great place in Kuta.
The staff are always really friendly here and will make you feel like you’re enjoying a meal fresh from Naples.
Their cheese wheel pasta is what they’re best known for, but we love their take on a creme brulee for dessert. You can’t go wrong at this lunch spot.

Asian Spice Restaurant
Asian Spice is in the Rama Residence Padma in Legian and it’s an upmarket spot for a broad range of Asian flavours.
We adore the way this place looks inside and it’s a truly unique aesthetic appeal (Instagrammers will be in seventh heaven).
The food is amazing too and they serve some very inventive cocktails to wash it all down with. Just make sure to save room for some of their cakes, they’re sublime.

Bukit Peninsula
Alchemy Uluwatu
Alchemy is style personified and yet, somehow, it’s a calm and peaceful place that attracts a lot of the local yoga crowd.
The outdoor area is very nice to sit in, but we prefer to get inside and enjoy views of their designer interior.
This is one of our top lunch spots on the island for vegans as the whole menu is plant-based.

Ikan Restaurant & Bar
Ikan is beachfront dining done right at the swanky Westin Resort in Nusa Dua.
If you want to enjoy lashings of seafood all taken from the local sea life, then this is a great place to do it.
The recipes are authentically Balinese and Indonesian and everything tastes amazing. However, it’s a very pricey spot.

Prego
Prego is not far from Ikan and it’s famous for its Italian dishes and everything here is Tuscan-inspired.
In addition to the pizzas, pastas and usual grilled dishes, they have an amazing selection of local seafood on ice to be served with local vegetables.
We just can’t get enough of the cured meats here, which must be among the best on the island.

East Bali
Lilla Pantai
This attractive fusion restaurant by the ocean in Sanur is one of our top lunch spots in East Bali.
The outdoor seating area has one of the best harbour views on the island and it’s nice to see boats going back and forth while you dine.
The food is fantastic and they have some of the cheapest wine in Bali, which makes it ideal for a long lunch with friends.

Warung Lu Putu
From the outside, you could be fooled into thinking this place is a local house, not a restaurant at all.
Yet, once you’re inside, you will find an immaculately laid out warung with some excellent food, served in huge portions.
Kick back with the house cocktail and some awesome mie goreng and enjoy some very authentic surroundings.

Ocean Terrace Restaurant
Who doesn’t love sitting by a white sand beach and enjoying the view of the ocean while shaded by palm trees?
Well, that’s exactly what you can expect at Ocean Terrace when you visit for a lunch break in Manggis.
We thought the service was excellent here and the food was equally as good.
However, be warned, they don’t allow pets in this restaurant, and will turn you away if you bring a dog.

Joli Best View Cafe
This place really does have the best view of Jemeluk Bay and you’ll be pleased to know that the food is served at bargain prices.
If you want to see Mount Agung tower over the shoreline, you have to visit Joli.
However, we freely acknowledge that the food in this lunch spot is just alright, you go for the scenery more than the tucker.

Buda Bakery & Resto
This bakery is run by a former pastry chef from one of the major hotel chains and if you want a lunch spot for light bites, this is the place to go in Lovina.
The quality of the food is outstanding and the view from the upper floor is very nice.
Find the Lovina Dolphin statue and it’s just a short walk away, you’ll be glad you did.

Their coffee is absolutely wonderful as it’s made from only locally grown beans keeping the local farmers happy and in work.

Ubud
Donna
Donna is one of the most stylish places in Ubud and you’d be forgiven for expecting it to be really expensive.
However, this lunch spot is very reasonably priced and the food is very good too. (Try the steaks, for the price, they may be the best in Bali).
We loved their the cocktails served in a “smoke cage” too, it made it all very special.

FAQs
Is It Expensive To Eat And Drink In Bali?
It very much depends on where you want to eat. Some of the best restaurants in Bali are fine dining experiences with a tasting menu, an à la carte menu, a seasonal tasting menu, and a wine list to rival the finest restaurants in the world.
You can find an El Bulli-trained chef, places with a Wine Spectator award and so on…
And yes, these places are quite expensive.
However, if you want local ingredients served at a Balinese restaurant specializing in modern dining with an attractive dining room and no tasting menus in sight, you will find things are rather more reasonably priced.
And if you’re happy to sit in a local warung eating fresh seafood, with rice and a crispy fried egg, you can pay as little as $2-$3 for a meal. With drinks costing around $1 as long as you’re not expecting a cocktail bar and are sticking to coffee drinks and other non-alcoholic options.
Where Is The Best Place In Bali For Culture?
Most people consider Ubud to be the best place in Bali for culture as it’s the “spiritual heart of the island.”
It’s also a great place to find a good Bali restaurant and experience every taste from honey-baked pumpkin salad to slow-cooked beef rendang or roasted Peking duck.
Final Thoughts On The Best Lunch Spot In Bali
Bali is an amazing island with an endless number of great lunch spots. Our list here is not an exhaustive one of every lunch spot on the island as that would be, at least, five hundred restaurants long but it should give you an idea of where to find the kind of food you want.
From fried noodles and grilled seafood with local flavors made from local ingredients to a romantic dinner of foie gras and ingredients from the chef’s rooftop hydroponic garden, you can find it all in Bali.
Depending on your budget you could take lunch in the main dining room of a fine dining restaurant or enjoy a dining experience unlike any other in the world of local dishes, authentic flavors, and ingredients from local farmers.
Whatever you choose, Bali’s best lunch spots will have something you adore.
