From Wagyu ribeyes to dry-aged Tomahawks, I found the best steaks in Bali at these restaurants and steakhouses.
Looking for the best steak in Bali? I’ve eaten my way through the best steak restaurants in Bali, from smoky Canggu fire pits to glossy Seminyak grill rooms. This guide rounds up all the Bali steakhouses that are worth your rupiah, best loved for their whopping Black Angus tomahawks, marbled Wagyu tenderloins and everything in between. Whether you’re after a casual weeknight ribeye or a full five-course carnivore’s tasting menu, here’s where to find the best steaks in Bali.
Why trust this guide
I’m Vici, and I’ve called Bali home since 2006 (with a few years abroad in between). Being the “meat-lover of the team”, I’m not new to steak-hunting across the island. Every Bali steak restaurant in this guide, I’ve eaten at myself, and judged each one the same way: how good the marbling and quality of the meat actually is, whether the temperature on the plate matches what I ordered, and how the flavour holds up once the marinades, spices and ageing process are stripped away.
I keep this list updated as new steakhouses open and old favourites change hands, so what you’re reading reflects the current 2026 line-up. The restaurants below are also grouped based on their location, so you know where to find the best steaks in Bali near you!

The best steak restaurants in Canggu
1. Vore
A sultry, modern steakhouse serving dry-aged ribeye, a chef-curated menu and off-menu cocktails.
When the flames fire up at dusk, the show begins at Vore. This is Canggu’s modern steakhouse where the kitchen doubles as a stage – every flicker of fire and hiss of smoke sets the rhythm for the night. The lights are low, the velvet-lined lounge hums with deep music, and the drama of the grill steals the spotlight.
For me, the headliner is the dry-aged beef. The 750-gram ribeye is fine Australian Angus beef, aged for 20 days then charred on the bone to lock in its rich flavour. Finished with red wine jus and scorched bourbon butter, it’s a cut that shows the grill team at their best.
Or, if you really want to go all-out, try the chef-led Carni-Vore menu. It’s a smart five-course menu, made even better with Vore’s cocktail programme. There’s a solid wine pairing too, but I’d nudge you toward the off-menu cocktails that the bartenders quietly shake up behind the bar.
Best for: The five-course chef-curated Carni-Vore menu with inventive cocktail pairings.
Instagram: @vore.canggu
Must-try steaks: Ribeye on the bone (750 grams), Stone Axe oyster blade, Australian Wagyu hanging tender.

2. ESKQ Steakhouse & Wine Bar
A cosy wood-fired steakhouse in Canggu serving premium Wagyu, fresh seafood and 50+ international wines.
If there’s one thing ESKQ Steakhouse & Wine Bar takes seriously, it’s cooking over fire. Every cut is grilled directly over natural wood fire, creating the signature smoky char that’s become a calling card of this Canggu steakhouse. There’s an impressive selection of Wagyu grades and origins, with everything from ribeye and filet mignon to striploin, picanha, beef tongue and a show-stopping tomahawk for two.
Inside, the industrial-style space feels more like a cosy speakeasy than a formal steakhouse, with dark hues, copper accents, colourful art, intimate lighting and an open kitchen where the grill takes centre stage. The wine programme is equally considered, with 50+ international labels and sommelier-led pairings.
And there’s more to ESKQ these days than steak and sides. The recently expanded menu includes wine bites, a full raw bar with freshly shucked oysters, new starters, an updated sauce selection and a brand-new open-fire grill. Drop by for oysters and wine at the bar, or settle in for a full dinner.
Best for: Wood-fired steaks, wine pairings and late-night dining.

3. Yen Social
A sultry Japanese yakiniku spot in Berawa, specialising in premium steaks grilled at your table.
In the heart of buzzing Berawa is Yen Social – a sophisticated Japanese yakiniku restaurant centred around premium steaks, fine cuts and seafood, charcoal-grilled right at your table. Think Japanese Wagyu oyster blade, Australian Wagyu short ribs, Angus tenderloin, and 30-day dry-aged specialties, like the Koji Australian Wagyu ribeye grilled with Kavalan whisky for maximum umami.
I ordered a few of the Asian-inspired sides to make a feast out of it. I couldn’t stop munching on the spiced Gobo Chips before I took a fresh bite of the Beef Tataki Salad. The Kimchi Fried Rice went perfectly with the tender beef, while the Japanese-inspired signature cocktails rounded off my evening on a truly high note.
Best for: Yakiniku sets, in-house dry-aged steaks grilled at your table, creative cocktails.
Instagram: @yen_socialbali

4. Smoke
Low-and-slow barbecue restaurant with fire-pit dining, smoky steaks and rice field sunsets.
If you love barbecues as much as I do, Smoke is worth the pilgrimage to Batu Mejan. It’s all about low-and-slow cooking here – some cuts spend more than 18 hours on the smoker. When I went, the Angus ribeye was the star: beautifully seared, melt-in-your-mouth, and served with roasted onion and Nashville oil.
The vibe is very “Bali backyard party”, with communal tables under a canvas tent, fairy lights strung up, and a fire pit at the centre. At sunset, the rice fields glow golden around you – it feels worlds away from Canggu’s main drag. It’s relaxed, smoky and memorable – just how a barbecue should be.
Best for: Low-and-slow barbecued meats with rice field views and community vibes.
Instagram: @smoke.bali
Must-try steaks: Steak-of-the-day with red wine jus, Black Angus ribeye, big cuts to share.
Price: Steaks start from IDR 290,000++
Good to know: Don’t miss its other specialities, which include smoked and slowly cooked proteins.
Local tip: Book a table for sunset to catch the glow over the paddies.
Address: Jl Batu Mejan No. 69, Canggu.
Opening hours: Daily, 11.45am – 11pm.
5. Aged and Butchered
Jakarta’s cult steakhouse serving premium dry-aged cuts, bold flavours and whisky-bar vibes.
If you’re serious about steak, Aged and Butchered deserves a spot on your list. This Jakarta-born steakhouse has brought its cult following to Bali, showcasing premium dry- and wet-aged cuts, American barbecue influences and Japanese yakiniku-style cooking techniques.
The star of the show is the house’s ageing programme. From the melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu picanha aged for 30 days to the indulgent 45-day Camembert-aged ribeye, every cut is carefully prepared and grilled over coffee wood for a rich, smoky finish. Alongside the steaks, you’ll find bold bar snacks, comforting sides and an impressive wine and whisky selection.

The best steak restaurants in Seminyak
6. Boy’N’Cow
Bali’s first “meat boutique” with in-house dry-aged steaks and a chic yet relaxed Seminyak vibe.
Boy’N’Cow has been around for years, and for good reason. It was Bali’s first dry-aged “meat boutique”, and the team still nails it. I love that you can see the dry-ageing fridge as you walk in – it’s a reassuring sign that they’re serious about their beef.
The ribeye is my go-to here: rich marbling, charred edges, and plenty of flavour thanks to the 30-day dry age. I also appreciate that the vibe is a little more casual than some of Seminyak’s glossier restaurants – it’s stylish without being stuffy, and the cocktails are spot-on. If you want a steakhouse where you can both impress a date and hang with friends, this is it.
Best for: Bali’s first “meat boutique” experience, group dinners and cocktails.
Instagram: @boyncow
Must-try steaks: 30-day dry-aged Stockyard Gold tomahawk, Japanese Wagyu ribeye, Campbell grass-fed tenderloin.

Local tip: Pair your steak with a signature craft cocktail.

Opening hours: Daily, 12pm – 10pm.
7. The Butchers Club
Bold, grilled Australian beef in a cosy, industrial-chic setting from Bali’s butchery experts.
The Butchers Club is a Seminyak steakhouse that really does know its way around a grill. Cuts are sourced from Australia, then cooked over a custom-built charcoal setup that gives just the right sear. I tried the dry-aged ribeye here, and it was rich, smoky and exactly what you’d want from a proper steakhouse.
The vibe is laid-back but elevated. Think exposed brick, leather booths and a continual buzz. It’s a place where you can go big with a Wagyu tomahawk, or keep it classic with a ribeye and fries. Either way, you’re in good hands.
Best for: Bold flavours and expert butchery, dry-aged Australian beef.
Instagram: @thebutchersbali

8. SALTLICK
KU DE TA’s sleek steakhouse with dry-aged Black Angus, sunset views and smoky cocktails.
Perched just above KU DE TA in Seminyak is SALTLICK – the meatier, more grown-up sibling of this iconic Bali beach club. I was lucky enough to try this restaurant when it first opened, and it’s been my go-to for dry-aged steaks ever since! I usually go big with the 31-day dry-aged Black Angus porterhouse – it’s rich, perfectly charred, and aged on-site.
What I love is how intimate the space feels compared to the bustle downstairs. The lighting is low, the service is sharp, and the cocktails are brilliant (don’t miss the Saltlick Smoky Margarita). This is where I’d head for a date, or a sunset steak-and-cocktail combo when I want to escape the Seminyak chaos.
Best for: Dry-aged steaks and sunset cocktails above KU DE TA.
Instagram: @saltlickbali
Must-try steaks: 31-day dry-aged New York striploin, Kiwami Wagyu pillow steak, Miyazaki Wagyu striploin.

Address: Jl Kayu Aya No. 9, Seminyak.
Opening hours: Daily, from 5pm.
9. Uma Garden
A rustic-chic garden restaurant serving flame-grilled Black Angus beneath the stars.
Uma Garden feels like stepping into a secret dinner party. The tables are set in a lush open-air garden, flames flicker from the open kitchen, and the whole atmosphere is rustic, relaxed but a little bit magical.
The flame-grilled Black Angus is superb. It’s smoky, juicy, and has just the right amount of char. The 20-day (and longer) dry-aged cuts are worth a try if you’re after something extra special. Pair it with a bottle from their wine list, and you’ve got one of the most romantic dinner experiences in Bali.
Best for: Romantic wood-fired dining beneath the stars, Australian steaks, conveniently located between Seminyak and Canggu.

10. The Plantation Grill
1920s-style glamour, Wagyu and sommelier-led wine pairings at Double-Six Hotel.
The Plantation Grill is where you go when you want to escape Bali for a minute and transport yourself to a 1920s lounge. The setting is all old-school glamour, with leather booths, staff in tuxedos, and a dramatic spiral staircase leading you into the dining room.
On the plate, the Japanese Wagyu striploin and USDA prime tomahawk are the standouts. The sommelier helps you pair them with wines you don’t normally find in Bali. It’s sophisticated and almost a little bit theatrical, so it’s one of those Bali restaurants I never hesitate to recommend for a special steak dinner in Seminyak.
Best for: Old-school glamour, Wagyu beef, fine wine list.

Must-try steaks: The Plantation Minute Steak, Japanese Wagyu striploin, USDA prime tomahawk.

The best steak restaurants in Uluwatu
11. Papi Sapi
Flame-grilled steakhouse in Uluwatu with premium meats, seafood and daily fresh market selection.
Papi Sapi is exactly what Uluwatu’s dinner scene needed: a no-frills, meat-forward neighbourhood grill that takes quality seriously, without taking itself too seriously. From the same group behind Uluwatu’s Artisan cafes, it brings the same attention to sourcing to a dinner-only setting.
The concept is simple: walk up to the display chiller, choose your cut, add some sides, sauces and starters, then sit down and dig in. The selection changes daily, and it gets priced and grilled to order. Ribeye, picanha, tenderloin, fresh fish, grilled squid: whatever’s in the chiller that day.
For a more casual vibe, head out back to the garden, where there’s beer on tap and long benches for groups of mates. On Thursdays, there’s live music, which pulls a strong local crowd and keeps things going late.
Best for: Steak nights, cold beers and a laid-back Uluwatu crowd.

12. Tusk Grill & Bar
South African-inspired steakhouse in Bingin serving premium Australian beef, open-fire steaks and craft cocktails.
Standing tall beside the main Bingin intersection, Tusk Grill & Bar is a refined take on a gastropub, and it honours the art of open-fire cooking. It’s helmed by Head Chef Nick, who crafts his dishes over an open fire for some flame-kissed smokiness. The menu seems to traverse the rich flavours of South Africa, with a selection of small and larger plates to fill your table and share it all. Try the steak tartare with cured quail yolk to start, which comes with crunchy kettle chips that I couldn’t stop reaching for. Move on to the wood-fired premium steaks. You really can’t go wrong with any of them, from the simple Wagyu sirloin with roasted garlic and pepper cream to the picanha to share!
Best for: Solo or group steak dinners and cocktail nights in a stylish gastropub.

The best steak restaurants in Sanur
13. Luca (New in 2026)
Wood-fired steakhouse in Sanur serving premium dry-aged cuts, seafood and casual-yet-elevated dining experiences.
When I heard that Bali’s favourite Boy’N’Cow was opening a steakhouse in Sanur (following The Grumpy Butcher in Kerobokan), I rushed to snag a table – and let’s just say they didn’t disappoint! With its minimalist frontage nestled along Sanur’s bustling dining strip, you might miss Luca at first glance. But trust me, you don’t want to. Inside, it’s an elegant two-storey restaurant with ample space for both an intimate table for two and a casual family dinner. And just like its predecessors, wood-fired steak is at the heart of Luca’s menu.
I came in hungry, so I shared a bit of everything with the table. The burrata and tomato salad was the perfect creamy and light start to the feast. Then came the coveted Stockyard Gold porterhouse, with just the right crusty sear, a perfectly pink centre and five different sauces to choose from. I loved the tangy, lightly spiced chimichurri. One of the unexpected highlights, however, was the chocolate lava cake, which actually oozed as I cut into it!
Best for: Pre-dinner drinks, dry-aged Australian Black Angus and Japanese Wagyu.
Instagram: @lucabali.sanur
Must-try steaks: 1-kilogram Stockyard Gold porterhouse to share, Japanese Wagyu picanha, grass-fed Campbell tenderloin.

Every steak is expertly cooked over charcoal to lock in the delicate smoky flavours – best paired with a fine wine or Blossom’s list of signature cocktails. And with gorgeous ocean views, private dining rooms and daily live entertainment, I can’t think of a better place to tuck into a melt-in-your-mouth tenderloin, or a perfectly marbled ribeye.

15. Chupacabras
Argentinian-style steaks, a roaring wood-fire grill and lush jungle views in Ubud’s Sayan Valley.
Standing on the hillside of Ubud’s Sayan Valley is Chupacabras, an elegant steakhouse surrounded by misty jungle. It showcases the traditional flavours of South America (thanks to Chef Mauro Santarelli), so the meaty specialties here are as impressive as you’d expect from an Argentinian steakhouse.
I head here at sunset and make a stop at the bar to catch the golden glow. I then wander down the spiral staircase, where the open-air dining space, flickering fire pit and succulent meats sizzling in the open kitchen set the tone. Order the prime Wagyu beef to share, which comes in the most tender cuts, from ribeye to T-bone – all cooked over the two-metre-long Argentinian brick wood-fired grill. There’s even a sauce sommelier who can mix the perfect sauce to go with whichever steak you choose! And because Chupacabras has its own wine cellar, the steaks here call for a pairing of rich Chilean Malbec…
Best for: South American-style steaks with lush Ubud jungle views.

16. Batubara
Casual wood-fired dining where Argentinian flair meets Wagyu and Angus beef.
My first visit to Batubara was with a group of friends, but actually, it would be the perfect spot for date night in Bali. It has warm lighting, hushed corners, and the aroma of smoke from the open grill. I loved watching the chefs cook over locally sourced coffee wood, which gives the meat a softer, earthier smokiness than your usual charcoal. I started with empanadas (crispy, golden, dangerously moreish), then moved on to the Wagyu ribeye. It came perfectly charred on the outside, still juicy inside – paired beautifully with a glass of Argentinian Malbec.
Best for: Wood-fired Wagyu with Argentinian flair near Ubud central, casual dining with lively vibes.
Must-try steaks: Wagyu ribeye, coffee-wood-grilled Angus, Bali beef.
Price: Steaks start from IDR 240,000++

17. The Grill at Luxe
Fine Wagyu and lobster surf & turf, served with panoramic rice terrace views.
This is one of those hidden Ubud gems you’d never know existed unless someone told you. The Grill at Luxe is a seriously good grill restaurant within a boutique hotel. Even the journey there (you can be picked up on a scooter through rice paddies!) sets the tone for dinner.
Chef Agus Kartika plates up some of the best Wagyu I’ve tried in Ubud. The striploin Kiwami (marbling score 9+) is the definition of indulgence, and the Surf & Turf with buttery lobster is perfect if you’re sharing. Sitting with a glass of red, watching the light fade over the terraces, I couldn’t imagine a better setting for a steak.

How to choose a steak cut in Bali
- Go for tenderloin (or filet mignon, cut from its most tender section) if you want maximum tenderness, and don’t mind paying more. It’s the softest, leanest cut on the menu, but has the least beefy flavour of the bunch. Best paired with a sauce.
- Go for ribeye if you want rich flavours. The marbling running through it melts as it cooks, giving you the juiciest, most flavour-packed bite. This is usually the “safe best choice” if you’re not sure what to order.
- Go for striploin or sirloin if you want a middle ground: some bite, but still flavourful. Leaner than ribeye, firmer than tenderloin, with a good beefy flavour that doesn’t need much dressing up.
- Go for tomahawk or porterhouse if you’re ordering for the table. Both are bone-in, sized for sharing (tomahawks often hit 1 kilogram), and make for a good centrepiece if you’re dining with others.
- If you’re curious about something less common, for oyster blade or tri-tip. They’re all showing up more on Bali menus lately, usually cheaper than the classic cuts but with plenty of flavour if cooked right.
- Aged or non-aged steaks. Dry-aged beef (typically 20 to 30+ days) has a more concentrated, nutty, umami flavour and a firmer texture than a standard cut. It’s usually pricier, but worth it if you want something more complex than a straightforward grilled steak. If you’re after classic juicy simplicity, a non-aged cut will do the job just fine.

FAQs on where to eat the best steak in Bali
What are the best steak restaurants in Bali right now?
Some of the best steak restaurants in Bali right now include Vore in Canggu, Chupacabras in Ubud, Saltlick in Seminyak, and Boy'N'Cow (Bali's first meat boutique). For all of these popular Bali steakhouses, it's always worth booking ahead.
How much does a steak cost at steakhouses in Bali?
Steak prices vary depending on the type of beef, which cut, and whether it's gone through a special ageing process like dry-ageing. At Bali's best steak restaurants, an individual portion of steak (150 grams to 300 grams) typically starts from around IDR 125,000 at more casual spots, climbing to IDR 900,000+ at premium steakhouses. Large sharing cuts like tomahawk or porterhouse (weighing up to 1 kilogram) can cost upwards of IDR 2,500,000.
Where are the best areas in Bali for steak?
The top areas for steakhouses in Bali are Seminyak and Canggu, home to the island’s most famous steak restaurants. Ubud has a few upscale options too, as well as Sanur and Uluwatu. Wherever you stay, you’ll find at least one good Bali steak restaurant nearby.
What are dry-aged steaks?
Dry ageing is a process where beef is hung in a humidity- and temperature-controlled cabinet, typically for 20 to 30+ days. The natural enzymes break down the muscle fibres, making the steak more tender while concentrating the flavour into a nutty, umami-rich profile. Many steakhouses in Bali now showcase their ageing cabinets in-house.
Can I get dry-aged and Wagyu steak in Bali?
Yes, many of the best steakhouses in Bali now offer in-house dry-aged beef, often matured for 20 to 30+ days. Wagyu is also common, with Australian Wagyu and Japanese Wagyu available at several top steak restaurants in Bali.
What are the most common types of beef in Bali's best steakhouses?
You'll often see Angus or Wagyu on steak menus in Bali. These terms refer to the breeds of the cow. Angus is a Scottish breed prized for consistent marbling. Wagyu is a group of Japanese breeds genetically predisposed to heavy intramuscular fat, graded by marbling score (MB). The two produce noticeably different eating experiences, from texture to richness.
Do I need to book a steakhouse in Bali in advance?
Yes, you should book Bali steakhouses ahead of time. The most popular steak restaurants in Seminyak, Canggu and Ubud often fill up quickly, especially on weekends and during the holiday season. Many steakhouses in Bali will release your table if you’re late, so make sure to reserve and confirm your booking.
Is tipping expected in Bali steakhouses?
Most steak restaurants in Bali include a 5 to 10% service charge in the bill. Extra tipping at Bali steakhouses is optional, but appreciated if service goes above and beyond. Always double-check your receipt to avoid tipping twice.
Which steak cuts are most common in Bali?
The most common cuts at steak restaurants in Bali are ribeye, striploin (sirloin) and tenderloin. Many steakhouses in Bali also serve large sharing cuts like tomahawk or porterhouse, which are great for groups.
Which steakhouse in Bali offers the best ocean views?
Blossom Steakhouse in Sanur offers ocean views from inside Icon Bali Mall, with a wide selection of dry-aged steaks and fresh seafood. Another top pick is Saltlick, located on the upper floor above KU DE TA Beach Club, it offers a stunning view of Seminyak Beach that gets even prettier at sunset.
