31 Best Restaurants in Uluwatu 2026: Where to Eat in Bingin, Pecatu & Ungasan

Gooseberry cooks modern French food rooted in classic technique, from breakfast through to dinner. Bread, brioche and pastries are made from scratch every day in L'Atelier, its in-house pâtisserie, so it works as well for a long brunch as for a proper dinner.

At lunch, the three-course French menu comes with bread, butter and coffee or tea. Australian Wagyu cuts, such as hanger steak and shoulder, are also on offer. The kitchen takes last orders at 10 PM, so we'd book online for a relaxed dinner rather than a late one.

Alchemy's own yoga centre stands next door to Alchemy Uluwatu, the Bingin branch of the Bali plant-based café. Everything on the menu is plant-based – food that, in Alchemy's own words, cleanses, heals and revitalises – and it suits a post-surf breakfast or a light lunch.

The build-your-own salad bar and the breakfast bar both take extra toppings, and there is an açaí bowl too. Time your visit around a class at the yoga centre, and choose your own base, sauce and toppings rather than a set plate.

A grassy, child-friendly terrace, a wood-fired pizza oven and an Italian wine list set the tone at DiVino by Casa Asia, an Italian restaurant in Bingin. The menu is large and Mediterranean, built on family recipes, and the bar opens early for anyone who wants an aperitivo before sunset.

Pasta is good value for the area, from aglio olio e peperoncino to fettuccine with beef ragù, and the fish and chips are made with barramundi. Families should ask for a table near the lawn, where children have space to play while the pizzas come out of the oven.

SANA belongs to NUJU Uluwatu, an adults-only villa resort in Bingin, but the restaurant is open to outside diners. The kitchen serves Asian fusion and international dishes, and the space moves from an elegant indoor dining room to an outdoor lounge and tables by the pool.

It works for a long lunch, a candlelit dinner or drinks with friends, and each zone sets a different mood. For a quiet dinner, ask for the indoor dining room; for a livelier night, book the lounge or a poolside table.

Fresh seafood, local ingredients and a charcoal grill shape the contemporary cooking at YUKI, a modern Japanese izakaya on the strip. It opens seven days a week and has vegan and gluten-free options, which makes it an easy choice for a mixed group.

Small plates start with miso soup or edamame, followed by charcoal-grilled mains and kamameshi clay-pot rice. For a bigger night, there is a 300 g Black Angus ribeye. Book ahead for weekend dinners.

The Greek neighbourhood grill KALA sits a few steps from Padang Padang Beach, with an open kitchen, a wood fire and an arched dining room. The menu is built for sharing – wood-fired plates, fresh seafood and mezze such as dolmadakia – with natural wine and cocktails on tap.

We'd order a few plates for the table, such as grilled octopus, lamb kofta and baby potatoes, then add the MB5+ striploin for a bigger shared dinner. Doors open at noon, so it also works for a long lunch after the beach.

AVLI takes its name from the Greek αυλή, the open courtyard where family meals and neighbours' chats once took place, and it recreates that idea as an open-air modern Greek restaurant in Uluwatu. It opens at 5 PM every day, and the mood is slow, generous and communal.

The menu mixes spreads with wood-fire pita, wagyu gyros and market-fresh fish for sharing. Tuesdays and Thursdays are OPA nights, with a party atmosphere; book through SevenRooms to join in.

From 8 AM to midnight every day, ZALI serves Lebanese cooking at Suluban; it belongs to a small group with branches in Pererenan and Abu Dhabi. Those hours cover breakfast, a late lunch after a surf and dinner.

Order a spread of mezze, grills and bread to share. When other kitchens on the strip have closed, ZALI's late hours make it one of the easier places for dinner. Call ahead for a large group table.

Everything on the menu is made by hand at MASONRY., the Uluwatu grill and bar from the team behind Mason, which has a sister venue in Canggu. Service runs every day from noon until late, which suits a long lunch that turns into dinner and drinks.

The bar is as much of a draw as the kitchen. Book a table through the website for dinner, especially at weekends, when the strip gets busy.

A neighbourhood grill built around a market showcase, Papi Sapi buys fresh cuts, fresh catch and vegetables each morning and cooks them on the grill that evening. Some items are portioned and some are sold by weight, and the menu changes with what is good that day.

Choose your cut or fish at the showcase, then add sides and a sauce. Starters include grilled octopus skewers, and every burger, from the double smash patty to the grilled yellowfin tuna, comes with a side. It opens at 4 PM; book ahead for dinner.

Behind a bright pink façade sits the bigger of Tacos Aqui's two Bali taquerias. It opens at 4 PM and comes alive after dark, with Club Corazón just behind the restaurant for anyone who wants to keep going.

Tacos run from al pastor to birria, and the rest of the menu brings ceviche, aguachile and a chimichurri steak. Happy hour runs daily from 4 PM to 7 PM, with selected cocktails at IDR 85,000. On Taco Tuesday, tacos are IDR 35,000 all day and live music starts at 7 PM.

Playful twists on bright, everyday Italian dishes define Osteria Luna, a coastal osteria near Padang Padang. The menu runs from house-baked focaccia to raw seafood and handmade pasta such as vongole, with a classic aperitivo list behind the bar.

Start with wagyu tartare in a puttanesca dressing, or leave the evening to the kitchen with the chef's selection menu and its wine pairing. Its published hours vary by day, so confirm by WhatsApp before you go.

Part of the ULU Tribe complex near Padang Padang, ULU Garden pairs modern Indonesian cooking with Balinese rituals, dance and live music in a garden setting. It is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, from 7 AM until late.

Come in the evening, when the performances bring a sense of Balinese culture that most of the strip lacks, and order the Indonesian dishes rather than the international ones. Book ahead for a performance night.

AMA by Ours sets its Greek-Italian sharing plates under arched, candle-lit walls. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner: build-your-own breakfast plates, mains and bowls at lunch with a daily fika from 2 PM to 5 PM, then pizza, pasta and shared plates at night.

Mondays are pizza nights and there is a weekly steak night, both good reasons to book. AMA comes from the same group as Ours and Home by Ours, so the coffee and breakfasts follow the same standard.

Founded in Hawaii in 1989, the Paia Fish Market concept comes to Uluwatu as Ulu Fishmarket, which adds fusion Japanese and Peruvian sushi. The focus is local ingredients and generous portions, from fish tacos and burritos to sushi, salads and pasta, with signature cocktails at the bar.

Burritos come filled with mahi-mahi or chicken, and burgers with fish, chicken or a 180 g Wagyu cheeseburger patty; the fish can be grilled or Cajun-spiced. It opens at noon, which makes it a reliable lunch stop between Padang Padang and Bingin.

With branches across Bali, La Baracca serves Italian pizza and pasta from its Uluwatu outpost on the strip. The cooking is traditional, built on authentic recipes and quality ingredients, and the room is cosy and informal.

Pizza is the main event, so share a couple across the table, with a pasta on the side. It keeps late hours, which makes it a useful choice after a sunset elsewhere. When booking online, choose the Uluwatu branch.

My Dear Clara, an Italian-inspired restaurant, keeps things simple: fresh pasta is rolled by hand during service, and the mozzarella and burrata come from its own cheese factory. It opens every day from 5 PM until late in a relaxed dining room.

Start with the house burrata or mozzarella, then share a hand-rolled pasta and a pizza. Message ahead by WhatsApp to secure a table rather than hoping for a walk-in at 7 PM.

Every evening from 5 PM, Bartolo, a French and Italian bistro, serves classic comfort food with wines and cocktails. The room is relaxed and grown-up, and it works for an aperitivo, a full dinner or a nightcap.

Happy hour runs daily from 5 PM to 7 PM, with two-for-one vermouth cocktails and spritzers. The full list includes the Bartolo Spritz and Milano Torino, and there is a charcuterie board for the table. We'd arrive for happy hour, then stay on for dinner.

Specialty coffee, Australian-style brunch and easy dinners are what SUKA Uluwatu is known for, and the all-day café is open from 7:30 AM to 10 PM every day. That makes it a dependable stop for a beach-day breakfast or a casual evening meal.

The dinner menu runs from pasta such as spaghetti bolognese to burgers in brioche buns with fries. The specials change every week, so check the board when you arrive.

BRAUD Cafe Uluwatu opened in 2024 as the second Bali home of the BRAUD bakery café, closer to the beach than the first. Good coffee, wholesome dishes and freshly baked bread come out every day, from a quick coffee and pastry before the surf to breakfast and lunch.

In the evening, it turns into a dinner spot with comforting dishes, shared plates and natural wines. Go early for the best choice of bread and pastries, which are baked fresh each morning.

The restaurant and wine lounge of Hidden Hills Villas, Hidden Gem, looks out to the ocean from high in the Pecatu hills. A Swiss chef created its modern steakhouse menu with a French touch, served al fresco, and the owner, sommelier Max Loong, pours more than 50 wines by the glass.

Share the house charcuterie board or fresh oysters, sold by the half-dozen or the dozen. The restaurant is open from 7:30 AM to 11 PM and the pool lounge from 9 AM to 5:30 PM, with a minimum spend on sun loungers. We'd come for sunset and a glass of wine.

Ulu Cliffhouse's fire-led restaurant, burnt, sits on the cliffs above the ocean in Pecatu and cooks over open fire with seasonal ingredients and sustainably sourced seafood. It opens daily at 4 PM, so dinner can start with golden hour on the Sunset Terrace.

Snacks such as zucchini flowers or crab blinis lead into grilled wild king prawns, a whole coral grouper and Angus steaks, starting with a 200 g striploin. Book for around 5 PM and start on the terrace before moving to dinner.

Flirt, near Suluban, cooks largely over flame, from a modern menu that borrows from the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Italy, Greece and Asia. It opens in the late afternoon for dinner.

Large plates range from charred pumpkin with feta and honey to a flame-cooked butterfly snapper, slow-roasted lamb shoulder and a 300 g Australian rib-eye. We'd open with the lobster croquettes. Book through SevenRooms.

From a pavilion of reclaimed teak and ironwood above Suluban, Mana looks over the ocean and the surf. The restaurant and bar of Uluwatu Surf Villas serves breakfast, lunch and dinner from 7 AM to 11 PM every day, and there is a pool beside the restaurant.

Breakfast comes with a view of the Uluwatu waves, while the evening belongs to sunset over the Indian Ocean; book through TableCheck for a sunset table.

Asian and Mediterranean dishes come à la carte at Segaran Dining Terrace, Jumeirah Bali's all-day restaurant on a scenic terrace. All ages are welcome, the dress code is casual, and breakfast, lunch and dinner are separate services.

Dinner, from 6 PM to 11 PM, is the time to come for the terrace and the evening atmosphere, while lunch from noon fits a day by the coast. Book by email or phone through the resort.

Oliverra, the speciality Mediterranean restaurant of Umana Bali, LXR Hotels & Resorts, sits on the edge of the Ungasan cliff with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Its menu draws on the Amalfi Coast, the Levant and the French Riviera, with dishes finished on a Josper grill over local coffee-wood charcoal.

The menu moves from wood-fired octopus and garlic prawns to a seafood saffron risotto with Hokkaido scallops and 200 g cuts of stockyard beef. Choose between the Dining Room, the Bar and the Veranda; Sunday brunch runs from 11 AM to 3 PM.

Karma Kandara's clifftop Italian restaurant, di Mare, has tables that look straight out over the Indian Ocean. The menu runs from sourdough pizzas, made with a 72-hour fermentation and a 15-year-old mother yeast, to risottos, fresh seafood and meats, with an international wine list.

The restaurant belongs to Karma Group's members' club, but membership is free: download the Karma Subito app and register with the code KARMAKANDARA before you arrive. Book for late afternoon to see the ocean in daylight.

WAATU, the yakitori and open-flame grill at The Ungasan Clifftop Resort, cooks everything over coals, using local ingredients from across the Indonesian archipelago. It opens at 7:30 AM and runs until late, so it serves breakfast through to dinner.

Skewers run from chicken and leek to garlic prawn and wagyu beef, alongside snacks such as beef tartare with kimchi. For a bigger dinner, there is a 200 g picanha or Wagyu flank, or a 500 g dry-aged bone-in striploin. Reservations go through SevenRooms.

In the open kitchen at Wet Plate Kitchen, Chef Rendi Cuanda and his team cook Asian-inspired dishes in full view of the dining room. Its motto, 'pick it, cook it, taste it', sums up the format.

Dinner starts at 6 PM. Ask for a seat facing the kitchen to watch the team cook each plate to order, and book ahead by WhatsApp with your preferred time and the number of guests.

Double Ikat, the Indonesian dinner restaurant of Renaissance Bali Uluwatu, works its way through the archipelago's regional cooking. It is open every evening from 6 PM to 11 PM.

The menu covers ikan bakar Jimbaran, beef rendang and babi guling Gianyar, the Balinese roast pork, plus a Jimbaran seafood platter for sharing. On Tuesdays, the Rasa Nusantara dinner is IDR 590,000++ per person. Book the Jelajah Rasa chef's table, at 6:30 PM daily, for a guided tasting.

Families come first at Ohana Bali, a garden restaurant in Ungasan, a short drive from Jimbaran and Nusa Dua. Alongside fresh international cuisine and a local menu, it has Ohana Kids Paradise, a large supervised playground, and a kids' cinema.

The restaurant is open from 8 AM to 11 PM, the playground from 8 AM to 6 PM, and the kids' cinema screens at 6 PM and 7:30 PM. Time an early dinner around a screening so parents can eat while the children watch. Reservations are by WhatsApp.
