Gooseberry

Gooseberry is a modern French restaurant on a quiet lane above Bingin Beach in Pecatu. The air-conditioned dining room opens onto outdoor tables around a pool set in tropical greenery.

The menu is rooted in classic French technique, with dry-aged prime beef from the wood-fired grill, foie gras, cassoulet and boeuf bourguignon. Brioche, baguettes and pastries are baked daily in L'Atelier, the in-house pâtisserie, and service runs from breakfast and brunch through lunch, French afternoon tea and dinner.

It suits long lunches between surf sessions, date nights and special-occasion dinners near Bingin and Uluwatu.
