Fresh fish, colourful veggies and gourmet toppings – these are the top restaurants in Bali to get your poke bowl fix...
A firm fave for Bali’s healthy eating crew, poke bowls (pronounced poh-keh) are a Hawaiian specialty that are as addictive as they are delicious. A traditional poke bowl begins with a base of warm rice, later loaded with organic vegetables and Japanese dressings, like ginger, scallion, soy sauce, and sesame oil. The crown jewel? Raw fish, often Ahi tuna that’s been lightly marinated and garnished with a sprinkling of spring onion…
But true to form, Bali’s best restaurants have taken this Hawaiian staple and made it their own. Some have recreated the classic, while others have gone above and beyond with creative twists on the traditional – and the results are “ono” (that’s delicious in Hawaiian, FYI). So without further adieu, here are the best places in Bali to get your poke bowl fix. Spoiler alert: this might be our most colourful restaurant guide yet….

Bali’s best poke bowls: CANGGU
1. The Avocado Factory
Best for: a hearty, health-forward bowl with all the superfood extras.
As one of Canggu’s very best cafes, it’s no surprise that The Avocado Factory also has a knockout poke bowl. While you can probably guess that avocado makes a grand appearance (as it should!), there are a few variations to choose from.
We can’t get enough of the classic poke bowl with raw tuna or smoked salmon. It’s given a tropical (and healthy) twist by using red rice as the base, before being loaded with avocado, grilled tofu, quinoa, edamame and chives. Or, go for a total twist: the Aceh Fried Rice Bowl with a slow-cooked 64-degree omega-3 egg, avocado, pickles and furikake. All of this, served up within an enormous, easy-breezy industrial-style space, overlooking one of Canggu’s greenest rice fields…

2. TYGR Sushi
Best for: an easy brunch that feels a bit more elevated than the average café.
Primarily a hand roll sushi bar, TYGR Sushi is one of those epic little Canggu treasures (with a sister spot in Ubud) that just gets it right. While they’re famous for their crispy nori rolls or the ramen, they also happen to whip up a seriously solid poke bowl. You can keep it classic with salmon or tuna tataki, or go for the vegan-friendly spicy jackfruit and tofu. Either way, it’s fresh, fast, and full of flavor. The best part? Their prices are actually reasonable, so you can fuel up for the day without breaking the bank.

One for the pescatarians, Moana Fish Eatery is an authentic little Polynesian seafood restaurant at the top of Jalan Batu Bolong in Canggu, decked out with tropical jungle vibes. Food-wise, you can fill ya boots with allll the Hawaiian faves, like sugarcane juice, sashimi, carpaccio, tartare, tataki and BBQ fish, not forgetting that legendary Poke Bowl. With lightly marinated raw tuna, avocado, edamame, cucumber and cabbage (dressed with sesame seeds, scallions and ginger) there’s a reason there’s a queue out the door every evening here.

4. Poke Poke
Best for: customisable bowls and fun, Instagram-worthy dining.
A super cute little eatery right in the thick of Canggu, Poke Poke offers creative bowls and custom-made options to order (just pick out what you’d like and chow down). Mix up that butter-soft tuna with sesame crusted tempeh, quinoa, edamame beans and super delish dressings for bowls bursting with flavour. The best bit is, whilst you wait for your food, you can dress up in grass skirts, hula necklaces and have a go on their swing (yes, swing) that sits right in the middle of the little resto. Good vibes all round!
Price: Starting from IDR 65,000++
Address: Jl Munduk Catu, Canggu
Opening hours: Daily 10am – 10pm
5. Unibowl
Best for: Japanese-inspired poke packed with bold umami flavours.
The poke bowl at Unibowl is worth the trip of its own. Using unique and contemporary ingredients to create the perfect poke recipes (from sashimi and meat to vegetables and grains) each bowl is well-balanced and undeniably delicious. Try the Salmon Bowl with flamed-torched Aburi fillet, or the more traditional Ahi Poke with sashimi tuna, nori, avocado, sesame seeds and wasabi-ginger soy. There’s even vegan and vegetarian options here (we LOVE the Tempeh Bowl!) or you can build-your-own-bowls too, with umami-loaded Japanese toppings like onsen eggs, furikake, miso eggplant and allll the spicy ponzu.

Best for: a wholesome yet indulgent poke that still feels “Canggu cool”.
We’ve got a massive soft spot for Nüde, a total gem of a café with a ‘half-raw, half-naughty’ menu that perfectly balances your cravings. Located just up the road from the buzz of Berawa (with a second outlet in Pererenan), it’s our go-to for a reliable refuel. The tuna poke bowl here is honestly uh-mayyyyy-zing. Think sashimi-grade seared tuna and turmeric rice drizzled in a sesame soy dressing and creamy chipotle aioli. Just a heads-up: have the Insta-feed at the ready, because this bowl is a true Canggu beauty.

We found Ulu Fish Market by chance, and wow, we are so happy we did. This breezy Uluwatu restaurant is laid-back and oh-so cool, with swaying palms, communal alfresco dining and a rustic beach house feel. As for the food? It’s bringing Bali’s beachside seafood barbecues to a restaurant setting, where you can order up the catch-of-the day with a selection of sides and your choice of seasoning. It’s a little bit Balinese and a little bit Hawaiian, with a fusion of Japanese and Peruvian touches. Think blackened tuna sashimi, cajun-spiced mahi-mahi, scallops topped with salted egg and bountiful poke bowls. We love!
