Your Insider's Guide to Seminyak's Best Restaurants
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)!

The word iconic may be overused, but not when it's related to this Italian eatery on the beachfront of Petitenget.

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.

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.
