Perched on the hillside of Ubud’s Sayan Valley, is Chupacabras – an elegant steakhouse surrounded by misty jungles. Showcasing the traditional flavours of South America (thanks to Chef Mauro Santarelli), the meaty specialities here are as impressive as you’d expect from an Argentinian steakhouse. Wander down the spiral staircase, and you’re greeted with rugged natural stone, a flickering fire and succulent meats sizzling in the open kitchen. Taking centre stage is the prime Wagyu beef which comes in the most tender cuts, from ribeye to T-bone – all cooked over the two-metre-long Argentinian brick wood-fire grill. Pair your meat feast with a rich Chilean Malbec, or make your way upstairs to Arriba for a nightcap cocktail. Need more beef? Head to Chupacabras on a Saturday for an all-you-can-eat Westholme’s Wagyu beef brunch.

4. Smoke – Canggu

Look out for the steak-of-the-day simply grilled and finished with a red wine jus, or the grass-fed Australian Angus ribeye served with roasted onion and Nashville oil. Dining here is an experience of its own too, with an outdoor tent housing the dining area, and a glowing fire pit taking centre stage. What’s more, this barbecue restaurant is has rice field views, and at sunset, it gleams a golden glow, just like the embers of the piping charcoal grill.
