Top 10 Restaurants in Bali: Where to Eat in 2026 – Ratings and Recommendations

Located in the heart of Ubud, FERRO is a restaurant centered around fire as its main element. The kitchen works with open flame to create bold, expressive flavors, while the intimate setting blends refined dining with a relaxed lounge atmosphere.

Start with the beef cheek carbonara, a rich, slow-cooked dish that captures FERRO’s fire-driven approach to flavor. From bold open-flame cooking to lighter, refined plates, everything is designed to be enjoyed without hurry, alongside well-crafted cocktails and a comfortable space that turns dinner into a full evening experience.

Ever had dinner on a volcano? Probably not — but now’s your chance. Lava Gastobar in Sanur lets you feel like you’ve climbed onto a volcano and are about to have one of the best meals of your life. The entire concept leans into the theme — from the design to the cocktail list. You can tuck yourself into a quiet corner under the massive cotton tree or grab a seat at the bar and watch the chefs in action as they grill over volcanic stone. Fair warning: the smoky aroma will have your mouth watering in seconds.

Among the menu highlights: Beef Tartare — tender and spicy at the same time; Grilled Honey Carrots that could easily steal the show from any steak; creamy Mushroom Risotto you’ll want to eat straight from the pot; and the signature LaVa Choux, looking like it was carved out of volcanic rock. Meat lovers will appreciate the juicy Ribeye and Tenderloin, while seafood fans should try the Papaya Prawn Salad.

Ubud and seafood? I didn’t think it was possible — until I found Nautilus, one of the best restaurants in Ubud. With its coastal-industrial charm (think exposed brick, nautical touches, and a chill atmosphere), this spot brings the ocean to Ubud effortlessly.

The 650-gram Lobster & Zucchini Pasta? Unforgettable. Add fun cocktails and a stellar wine list, and you’ve got the ultimate seafood fix in Ubud!

A restaurant that turns into a club? I had to see it for myself! Donna blends bold Mediterranean and Latin American flavors in a stylish, poolside setting with soft lighting and lush greenery. I dove into the Polpo alla Donna (grilled octopus) and the Pull Up Tiramisu — both unforgettable!

But Friday nights steal the show. By 10:30 PM, the vibe shifts, and those Latin beats turn dinner into a full-on dance party. And that’s precisely what shot Donna to the list of one of the top-rated restaurants in Bali.

Habitat Bistro Ubud offers a serene dining escape in Ubud, where jungle views meet relaxed bistro elegance. Overlooking lush greenery and an infinity pool, the open-air setting creates a calm yet refined atmosphere from morning to evening. Whether for brunch, sunset cocktails, or a romantic dinner, the experience feels immersive, warm, and effortlessly memorable.

The menu features Italian-inspired favorites like Lamb Pappardelle, Linguine Carbonara, and wood-fired pizzas, alongside hearty options such as Ribeye Steak.

Signature drinks like the Whispering Spice cocktail pair beautifully with the menu, while seasonal creations add fresh inspiration throughout the year.

For a chic Parisian-style brunch in Pererenan, Bar Vera is the spot! French-inspired dishes with local twists (like beef tartare with sambal) and organic, biodynamic wines had me staying longer than planned — because one more glass was totally justified!

As one of the best restaurants in Canggu, Bar Vera boasts a chic yet cozy vibe, with warm terracotta, wood, and stone giving it that European wine bar feel. It’s the perfect spot to eat, sip, and lose track of time. Whether for brunch, dinner, or just great wine, Bar Vera makes you want to stay a little longer!

Mason nails simple food done right. The smoky aroma of grilled meats pulled me in, and the Housemade Burrata with fresh focaccia was irresistibly creamy. The 48-Hour Slow Cooked Short Rib? Tender perfection. And the Wood-Fired Bread Pudding with Jersey milk ice cream? Warm, gooey bliss!

The modern-rustic vibe, with concrete, wood, and a cozy open-air courtyard lit by string lights, makes Mason unforgettable.

Mosto surprised me with natural wines, Italian dishes, and Indonesian twists in Bali! A glass of biodynamic wine and the fluffy Gnocchi Parisienne with roasted garlic and nutmeg? Absolute perfection.

With exposed white bricks, terracotta accents, and mural ceilings, Mosto’s creative, laid-back vibe makes it the perfect spot for a casual night out anytime!

No need to fly to Paris — as Lulu Bistrot is easily one of the most romantic restaurants in Bali, bringing classic French charm with marble accents, tall liquor racks, and a cozy vibe. The Terrine de Campagne and Bourguignon D’Agneau were rich, tender, and unforgettable.

Sunday Brunch steals the show with buttery pastries, while the cocktails blend timeless French flavors with a creative twist. For a chic French escape in Bali, Lulu is it!

If there’s one place that makes me want to move to the countryside and become a slow-living expert, it’s Woods. This spot is all about Mediterranean flavors and breakfast all day — which means I can order Coconut Pancakes at 3 PM and no one bats an eye. I went for the Pistachio Cacio e Pepe, and wow!

Set in laid-back Pererenan, its reclaimed wood interiors feel rustic yet cozy. With live jazz, vinyl nights, and a “let’s stay for one more drink” vibe, Woods turns any meal into an event.
