Room4Dessert
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.

Mason
Mason makes our best restaurants list because it does simple food so well that it becomes elevated to a whole new level.
Their 48-hour slow-cooked short rib is a taste of the divine on a plate. But you really can’t go wrong with any of the food or drink options on the menu here.

Uni Restaurant & Bar
If you’ve been to Motel Mexicola, then you may have a good idea as to what to expect here.
Steven Skelly and Nicolas Lento, the brains behind Motel Mexicola, have joined forces again to deliver some incredible Asian contemporary food at one of the best restaurants in Kuta.
We recommend trying the tea-pairing menu if you fancy something a bit different.

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.
The cocktails are incredible, and we love the chill-out lounge style of the place, which makes it a perfect night out with friends or someone special.

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!

Kayuputi @ The St. Regis Bali Nusa Dua
Nusa Dua is home to many of the best restaurants in Bali, and it should come as no surprise that The St. Regis’ Kayuputi is one of them.
If you love Asian-styled haute cuisine with a wine list that is without compare, this is the place to spend your evenings.

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.
