If you thought that because Bali is a Hindi island, you wouldn’t be able to find a decent steak restaurant, think again.
We’ve had probably the best steak of our lives in Bali. Whether you want bone-in rib eye, dry-aged beef, a tasty strip loin, or tomahawk steaks served medium rare, they’ve got it here.
In fact, the selection of premium meats on offer at some of the fine dining establishments here would take some beating anywhere in the world.
Our 10 best steakhouses in Bali consist of specialist steakhouses and places that make a great steak combined with wholesome local ingredients sourced from Balinese farms.
There’s something for every occasion and every budget. Everyone can enjoy steaks in Bali, and meat lovers will know that this really is a paradise island when they’ve tried every place on this list.
Our 10 Best Steakhouses In Bali
Valle Canggu
Valle has only recently opened its doors to deliver a dinner setting that brings the taste of Spain to Balinese shores. Head Chef Daniel brings plenty of experience from his previous roles at Bambu Restaurant Petitenget and Revolver Group and it shows in his ribeye and sirloin steaks which are cooked to perfection.
Of course, if you’re really feeling carnivorous, you could try the Brazilian BBQ Platter which brings a whole lot of grilled premium meats to the table at an unbeatable value for money price of just 399,000 IDR ++. There’s enough for 2 or 3 to share!
This new addition to the dining scene is a very welcome one and we were impressed by the free glass of wine with every main course purchased and excellent selection of cocktails to wash down our meals with.
The location with its private pool is very attractive too and you’ll find yourself wishing that you could stay just a little longer, when you dine here.

Vore
Berawa is the most exciting area of Canggu, and a little after sunset every night, the open flames at Vore roar into life.
This is a modern grillhouse with the intimate feel of a private lounge built around the idea that good food deserves good company and that good company deserves more than just service.
You can expect dramatic dishes like their amazing juicy the Rib Eye on the Bone & Jumbo Prawns brought to life with sizzling energy in the kitchen. The wine list adds an extra dimension to already incredible food. Don’t miss out on Vore next time you’re in Berawa.

Boy N Cow
Boy N Cow literally describes itself as the “first meat boutique” in Bali and we can’t disagree with that assessment.
They’re serious about their steaks here and their dry-aged meats are ridiculously good. They source their meat from across the globe but they do all the dry-aging on site in Bali.
It’s not cheap, but you wouldn’t expect steaks of this quality to be cheap anywhere on the planet.
The marbling in our rib eye was absolutely perfect and the whole thing just melted in the mouth. It was a carnivore’s moment of glory, in fact.
They also make an excellent cocktail and their cocktail lounge is swanky and swish and the ideal place to relax after gorging yourself on cow.

The Grumpy Butcher
This smokehouse and BBQ restaurant knows how to make an amazing steak too and the tenderloin is one of the best steaks in Bali for sure.
They use their own barbeque sauce and if you love to dip your meat in a juicy, sweet, smoky sauce, you will be in seventh heaven here.
My partner went with the pork ribs which were smoky and just fell off of the bone. They may be the best pork dish in Bali.
Like many other diners at The Grumpy Butcher, we were really impressed by the standard of service which was friendly and welcoming and still efficient and sensibly paced.
You don’t have to leave vegetarian or vegan friends out on a trip here, either, they’re happy to amend menu items to make them meat-free when required.

DAVA Steak & Seafood Restaurant @ AYANA Resort Bali
This lovely place is one of the signature restaurant offerings of the luxury AYANA resort and it opens from 6 p.m. every day for a sunset drink before the main event.
Their team works tirelessly to source the best ingredients from around the world and in addition to some of the best steak in Bali, they have some of the finest lobster too.
The views over the garden from here are just lovely once the sun goes down and it’s gently lit by the resort’s subtle lighting.
The prices here reflect that it’s based in a luxury hotel but DAVA is a real boon to the culinary scene in Bali, the food is excellent and the service is every bit as good.
If you’re celebrating a special occasion, please let them know in advance, they’ll go all out to make things memorable for you.

Happy Cow Bali – Jimbaran
Not every steakhouse needs to be a signature restaurant in a luxury hotel, mind you.
Some of the best steaks in Bali come from little halal places like the Happy Cow Bali.
They’ve made their name serving family-style meals for meat lovers made from wholesome local ingredients sourced from farms in Bali.
You won’t spend a fortune here and you won’t find any premium wet-aged cuts either, but what you will get is tasty and filling and great value for money.
If your dream night out consists of a huge porterhouse steak and some decent wine, this is a great place to make it happen.

Tokyo Skipjack Seminyak
Tokyo Skipjack is often quite a quiet place which is odd given how good the steaks are and how busy some much poorer places on the culinary scene here are.
However, if you want steaks in Bali that have been lovingly prepared and without having to take out a second mortgage to pay for them, this is a great option.
We like that they offer such a wide range of sauces to accompany your meal.
It’s good to be able to dip your steak into a variety of flavours, it makes it feel like you got a lot of dishes for the price of one.
The environment is open air on a floor above street level and it’s pleasantly cool on a hot Bali evening.

The Grill @ Luxe
ou know you’re in for some of the best and most expensive steaks in Bali when they put “Luxe” in the name of the establishment.
It’s money well spent though we can assure you of that.
When you arrive at this hotel, you cannot drive directly to the restaurant as it has a secluded location in the local fields.
You can either walk (it takes about 20 minutes) or ask them to provide a scooter transfer to get you there faster.
We opted to walk, this part of Ubud is too beautiful not to see it properly.
We went with a dry-aged premium T-bone with a black pepper jus and a tender lamb rack that was absolutely amazing.
But we’re pretty certain that everything prepared in-house here is going to be fantastic. It’s that kind of place.

Henry’s Grill & Bar
Henry’s is in one of the busiest malls in Bali and it’s all too easy to miss when you’re surrounded by plenty of solid dining choices.
However, for a mall-based steakhouse, this is a very good place to eat and you’d be better off ignoring the more brash places and heading straight here.
The welcome from the staff is always cheery and makes you feel right at home inside the somewhat traditional interior.
They do an excellent tenderloin delivered medium rare as expected and requested.
In the evening, they also have a live band that regales the diners with excellent renditions of hits from days gone by.
We really enjoyed our meal at Henry’s and the total cost was extremely reasonable too.

Uma Garden
Returning to a world of fine dry-aged meats and premium steaks in Bali, we find ourselves at the lovely Uma Garden.
As you’d expect from the name, Uma Garden, it’s in an actual rustic garden and the tropical green is a very pleasant accompaniment to the meal.
If you love their freshly served dry-aged steaks at Uma Garden, you might want to visit them on Sunday for brunch too. Uma Garden has live acoustic music for that.
