Uma Garden
Without doubt one of the most popular restaurants on the island, Uma Garden is always a delight to dine at.
The garden vibes completement the incredible food and their beef croquettes are utterly amazing.
We can also thoroughly recommend the tri-coloured gnocchi and their melt in the mount wagyu sirloin.

Vagabondo
This cozy Greek restaurant is one of our favourite spots and it’s tucked away from the crowds a little.
The lamb skewers are to die for and we couldn’t believe the intense flavours of their truffle hummus which is guaranteed to blow you away.
The cocktail list is one of the best on the island and we could easily while away a couple of hours sampling the alcoholic delights before getting stuck into the menu.
Vagabondo is where you go when you must have a one-of-a-kind experience in Bali.

Shun Omakase
We love Japanese food and we especially love Shun Omakase where the food is world class and the ambience is even better.
A good restaurant should make you feel like nothing is too much trouble and Shun Omakase excels there.
Their gluten-free menu also comes in handy when you have someone with specific dietary requirements that aren’t easily catered to here in Bali.
We love the artistry and passion that goes into every dish at this fabulous restaurant in Bali.

Mandapa is an incredible place. this restaurant sits next to the Ayugn River, and the water sounds serenade your meal here.

Will Meyrick owns many of the best restaurants in Bali, and Hujan Locale is his Ubud flagship.
He’s all about street food flavours, and here you can find plenty of fresh produce (including catch of the day fresh from the Indian Ocean) and local ingredients galore.
Try the Ikan Bumbu Kuning (that’s a steamed fish in a yellow sauce), and you’ll see why Will has been so popular for so long in Bali.

Cascades
If you’ve ever wanted to visit Bali’s “Valley of the Kings”, then your chance might come in the form of a meal at Cascades.
It has a strong take on modern Australian cuisine, and the head chef and owner are both Australians.

Aperitif is one of two fine dining experiences at the Viceroy Bali, and it’s all about fresh produce.
In fact, they have their own greenhouses where they grow a lot of their own crops!
The ingredients are then distilled into their multi-course degustation menus (there are vegan and vegetarian versions, too) and presented with love and care.
The cocktails here are awesome, too, and Ran Van Ongevalle, the bartender, has won awards for his drinks.

Mauri
This fine dining joint in Seminyak is the creation of Maurizio Bombini, one of the most experienced Italian chefs in Bali.
They have a hydroponic garden on the roof where they grow most of their herbs and veggies.
They do offer a seasonal ingredients tasting menu, but we tend to order a la carte at Mauri simply because it’s so hard to resist the temptations on offer.

Mamasan
Mamasan is the sister restaurant of Sarong (also on this list), and it’s another of Will Meyrick’s babies too.
It’s a more casual set-up than some of the more formal Meyrick numbers, and it’s a lovely place to make friends or business colleagues and enjoy some tempting sharing plates.
We’d note that it’s super popular and if you don’t have a booking, you want to go very early in the evening to have any chance of getting a table.

This may be the only one of the best restaurants in Bali to make a meal out of a dessert.
Quite literally, too. Will Goldfarb is a big believer in sweet goodness, and while you can get a savoury tapas plate, the whole point of being here is the cakes and snacks.
Pair them with their amazing classic cocktails that all have a sweet edge, and then pile them in until the petit fours arrive. Yum.

BLANCO Par Mandif
This awesome member of our list of best restaurants in Bali was founded by Madif Warokka, a local celebrity chef.
The food artisans at this place prepare 7-course menus for the finest local food and pair them with natural wines and cocktails.
They say that Madif has ambitions for his first Michelin star, on the strength of BLANCO, we think he may get it sooner or later.
This is definitely already one of the world-class restaurants in Bali.

Santanera
If you want the best restaurants for Latin-American fusion in Bali, then Santanera has to be close to the top of the list.
We love their farm-to-plate philosophy, which guides everything that they do, and their Black Angus Tomahawk is one of the best steaks in Bali.

Divya Bar Ubud
The Baba Guling pork belly here is enough on its own to catapult the Divya Bar into our list of best restaurants in Bali.

Swept Away @ The Samaya Ubud
This is definitely one of the best restaurants on the banks of the Auyung River in Ubud. In fact, the location really makes this place.
However, it’s also fair to say it’s one of our best restaurants in Bali because the Western and Asian fine dining mix here is just world-class.
Try the 100-candle dinner if you’re celebrating something special. It’s amazing!

Cuca
Cuca’s head chef trained at El Bulli (yes, the one that was considered the best restaurant in the world for nearly a decade).
The food is thus incredibly tasty, but we always feel guilty about eating it because it’s also the most beautifully presented food in Bali. Yum.

The Restaurant @ The Legian
You know that a place is confident about its food when it calls itself “The Restaurant”, and the huge list of awards that this place has won says that confidence is not misplaced.
Stephane Gortina, the head chef, has a Michelin Star and a flair for combining traditional French and Indonesian culinary techniques for your culinary delight.
Also, the views over the Indian Ocean here are incredible. There’s no arguing that this is one of the best restaurants in Bali.

The Grill @ Luxe
If you love steak and seafood, you will love The Grill @ Luze. In fact, we recommend you hit their take on surf and turf on your first visit, and it’s sublime.
The restaurant is in the rice paddies of Ubud, and you need to walk from the car park (it takes about 10 minutes) or call them, and they will send out a scooter to pick you up.
The service here is warm and authentically Balinese, too.

Skool Kitchen
The talented chefs at Skool Kitchen have a big reputation in Bali, and to seal their fame, everything here is touched by flame!
They use a mixture of wood fire and charcoal embers to create the taste of their unique dishes.
The stylish interiors are lovely, but we spent too much time gazing out at the shimmering Indian Ocean to notice them very often.
This is one place that we’d love to be invited to the chef’s table.

The Cave by Chef Ryan Clift @ The Edge
This place is so posh that it’s close to silly, but somehow, it works brilliantly; it’s a restaurant in a 25,000-year-old cave!
There are only 22 seats, and there’s a fixed 7-course degustation menu to enjoy, but we don’t think that will be a problem. This is a foodie’s dream come true.
