Whenever I'm in Seminyak, I face the same "problem" — too many amazing restaurants, not enough meals in the day. And if you're, too, wondering where to eat in Seminyak, I've done the legwork for you. Here's my list of the best restaurants in Seminyak — a mix of old classics and exciting newbies that deserve a table on your trip.

  • 1. Merah Putih | Elevated Indonesian Flavors

    Merah Putih on Jalan Petitenget is a must-visit for Indonesian fine dining in Seminyak. Whatever your idea of Indonesian flavor, Merah Putih elevates it several notches — thanks to Chef Wiwik, who has been behind some of the best modern twists on traditional Balinese dishes for years.

    Accordingly, you'll find authentic Indonesian fare given a contemporary spin. Choose your favorite classics and see them in a new light — classic Nasi Goreng for lunch or Opor Tahu for dinner. Or, dive straight into their tasting menu for IDR 600,000 (about USD 36). And don't miss their signature cocktails —14 familiar drinks reimagined with an island twist. For example, try the Bali Colada with jackfruit and pandan. The Bali Colada, for instance, adds to the usual flavors of jackfruit and a hint of pandan — it's like a vacation in a glass!

  • 2. Uma Garden | Intimate Dining in Style

    Uma Garden offers a unique dining experience in Seminyak. The concept centers around two main elements — meat and community. Firstly, their menu is all about wood-fired grilled meats, from Australian Wagyu to USDA Prime Black Angus. Every dish here is of the highest quality. Secondly, what truly makes dining here special is the sense of togetherness — long communal tables designed for groups of friends and families. Bringing people together is at the heart of Uma's philosophy.

    BBQ is the star of the show. Choose whatever you like — medium-rare Wagyu, dry-aged steaks, or pork ribs — and you'll remember it as one of the best meats of your life. If red meat isn't your thing, they also serve chicken, fish, lobster, and veggie dishes. Every Sunday, they host the Asado Sunday Brunch, a grill feast where you'll try a selection of meats cooked over an open fire using the traditional South American Asado technique. There's also a wide selection of wine and even beer on tap, which is a real rarity in restaurants in Seminyak (and Bali in general)!

  • 3. Dome | Natural Wine & Casual Vibes

    Dome is one of the favored dining options at Desa Potato Head in Petitenget, where it functions as a triple treat during the day: a café, a library, and a co-working space. Once the evening sets in, it becomes a laid-back dining restaurant and wine bar, making it a great choice for casual dining in Seminyak.

    One of the standout features of Dome is the way it approaches food and wine. The focus of attention in all their menus is the ingredients from organic farmers and local producers, as with their wine bar, where all the wine selections are consciously produced to remain natural and organic. Their Roasted Octopus, Ceviche, Chicken Liver Parfait, and Cabbage Cannelloni are among the dishes created by Chef Diego Recarte, as well as a selection of vegetarian and vegan food.

  • 5. Sa’Mesa | Italian Dinner Party

    If you're looking for something fresh and different, Sa'Mesa is the spot. What sets it apart from other restaurants in Seminyak is its shared dining concept. Here's how it works: a big table, a bunch of dishes in the center, and a crowd of strangers chatting away like they've known each other forever. The owners call it "La Nonna Carmela" — it's like stepping into your Italian grandmother's home, where everyone from great-grandparents to your aunt's grandkids is gathered around.

    With this concept, you don't get to choose what's on the menu. About 18 Italian dishes will be served, and that's it. So, reservations are a must since they don't take walk-ins. And if you have dietary restrictions, they'll gladly accommodate.

    Located on a lively beach, SugarSand is one of the few ocean-view restaurants in Seminyak that specializes in Japanese cuisine. During the day, it's a relaxed hangout with vibrant dishes and an island vibe. But when evening rolls in, it transforms into an Izakaya-style bar-restaurant with a vibe and cocktail menu that could easily rival some of the best bars in Seminyak.

    Source: @sugarsand.bali

    Their sushi menu is perfectly crafted using both traditional and modern techniques. Be sure to try their signature dishes like seabass with burned keilan or king prawns with mango salsa — anything with seafood is a safe bet.

    Seafood takes center stage at Seasalt, where everything is sustainably sourced from Indonesian waters. Nouvelle Hokkaido Scallops, Branzino Brioche, and Papua Crab Risotto are among the notable creations of Chef Hazwan Hamdan. Each menu item is seasoned with organic Kusamba sea salt, produced in East Bali using the traditional method. For foodies, the ambiance is as important as the food, and Seasalt succeeds in delivering both at the highest level.

    If you want to know where to eat in Seminyak and if you crave authentic Italian pizza, Da Maria is your best friend. Among the many Italian restaurants on the island, Da Maria is easily recognizable, not only because of its strategic location on Jalan Petitenget but also because of its light blue and white decor.

    Source: @damariabali

    The pizza dough at Da Maria is fermented for 24 hours, resulting in an authentic Neapolitan pizza, before it is cooked in the lava ovens. Whether you choose Diavolo with spicy salami, Formaggi with four different cheeses, or Mare with prawns and calamari, you'll never go wrong with your choice. When you set foot into Da Maria, you'll be transported to the Mediterranean coastline of Italy, as the chairs and decor are quintessentially Italian coastal regions.

    Starfish Bloo is another ocean-view restaurant in Seminyak that specializes in seafood. The freshness of the ingredients is their pride and joy.

    Source: www.starfishbloorestaurant.com

    The menu is divided into a few sections. There's the Fresh Corner with salads made from garden vegetables. The vegan station offers some interesting small dishes. Then, you'll find sushi made from the freshest fish and authentic Balinese dishes like Be Genyol, a traditional pork stew. But honestly, I'd recommend going for the Sunday Brunch with a set menu. It's around USD 60 per person (without drinks) and the perfect way to experience the best flavors Starfish Bloo offers.

    The Forge's menu will remind you of a classic pub in England, featuring dishes like Beer-Battered Fish and Chips, Shepherd's Pie, and Chicken Pot Pie, making a perfect choice for dinner in Seminyak.

    Expect to try Sup Brenebon from Maluku, Tuna Sambal Tangkil from Central Java, and Dendeng Lambok from West Sumatra — to name a few. What makes KAUM special is that not only are these recipes kept under wraps outside their origin regions, but the cooking process is done the traditional way, too. The restaurant uses bamboo grilling and pit roasting; you can watch it all happen! Even the cocktail menu tells a story, so try drinks aged in claypots.

    Mama San is one of the most trendy restaurants in Seminyak, and it's earned that reputation after over 10 years in the game. The atmosphere here is one of a kind. It's like stepping into 1920s Shanghai, with a speakeasy vibe and a touch of a private gentlemen's club. You could come just for the aesthetics, but another great reason to visit Mama San is how it elevates Balinese, Indonesian, Thai, and Chinese dishes into a refined dining experience.

This dish is cooked over the Asado fire pit, a special open-grill technique that gives it a unique charred taste. They also use the Parrilla flat grill for seafood and vegetables, ensuring everything is infused with that smoky goodness. Staying on theme, they even offer a burnt meringue for dessert.

  • 21. La Lucciola | Timeless Italian Elegance

    The competition in the restaurant industry in Bali is ruthless. Many restaurants have closed down or moved to new locations for various reasons. However, but La Lucciola is one of the few restaurants in Seminyak that has remained strong for almost 30 years. The word iconic may be overused, but not when it's related to this Italian eatery on the beachfront of Petitenget.

    Source: thetravellingstomach.com

    The menus at La Lucciola are legendary. Whether you order Rigatoni al Pomodoro or Risotto Nero, the food quality has stayed the same over the years. If you want something less Italian, try ordering Porchetta, their take on rolled pork belly with nutmeg, saffron, and parmesan risotto. The best time to visit La Lucciola is during lunchtime or late lunch, as the views of the Indian Ocean are impossible to ignore.

  • FAQ

    What's the average price at the restaurant in Seminyak?

    On average, a dish at restaurants in Seminyak will cost you around USD 10–15. Steaks and fresh fish tend to be pricier, usually around USD 20. If you're looking for something more affordable, check out our guide to the best cafes in Seminyak, where you'll find some cheaper options.

    What is Seminyak, Bali, best known for?

    Trendy, stylish, and always buzzing, Seminyak is where you'll find Bali's best restaurants, boutique shopping, and beachfront parties that go long after sunset.

    What is the most famous street in Seminyak?

    It's tough to pick just one, so I'll highlight two. First up is Jalan Kayu Aya, also known as Eat Street — where you'll find the most popular restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops. And then there's Jalan Raya Seminyak — a nearly two-mile-long pedestrian street with the best boutiques, spas, and other luxury spots.

    Is 2 days in Seminyak enough?

    It depends on how you want to spend your time. If you want to explore, shop, and enjoy some great meals, 2 days should be enough, as Seminyak is pretty small. But if you're all about lounging on luxurious beaches, feel free to stay as long as you like. Personally, I could easily spend a whole month here!

    Is it expensive in Seminyak?

    Seminyak is one of the more upscale areas in Bali, so prices are higher than in places like Canggu or Ubud. Expect to pay more for dining, shopping, and beach clubs. However, there are still plenty of affordable cafes, local warungs, and budget-friendly stays.

Expert Opinion about Restaurants in Seminyak

When I'm trying to decide where to eat in Seminyak, I rely on my tried-and-true formula. Let me walk you through it.

If we simplify it, a restaurant is made up of three components: Cuisine + Atmosphere + Price. You don't need to figure out all three at once — break it down and ask yourself:

  • Cuisine. What do you feel like eating today? Mexican, Japanese, Indonesian?

  • Atmosphere. Are you in the mood for a lively, party vibe like at Made's Warung or something more refined and romantic like at Merah Putih?

  • Price. How much will you spend for the evening, including food and drinks?

Doesn't that make the choice easier?

And as for my top three picks (at least for me!), I'd say:

Huge, Sa'Mesa, and Kilo Kitchen.

Now that we've explored Seminyak's culinary scene and you've chosen the perfect spot to taste Bali, let's figure out the things to do in Seminyak!
