Propped up on Uluwatu beach but not sure where to eat? Here's our guide to the best restaurants and cafes in Uluwatu, Bingin, Padang Padang and beyond...
It’s no secret that the restaurant scene is blowing up all over Bali – none more so than down in Uluwatu on the beautiful Bukit Peninsula, which, until recently, has mostly been all about cheap’n’cheerful local warungs for the surf crowds. These days, Uluwatu’s café culture is booming, and so is the fine dining movement, ranging from healthy vegan eats in Bingin, to award-winning menus from world-class chefs and restaurants in Uluwatu.
So, to help you decide where to eat south of the airport, here’s our list of Uluwatu’s best restaurants, helpfully broken down into the best cafes for brunch and lunch, followed by our fave dinner spots, and last but certainly not least, the finest restaurants in Uluwatu for a special occasion or smokin’ hot date night…
The best restaurants in Uluwatu: EDITOR’S PICKS
1. Mason Uluwatu
From Canggu to Uluwatu, Mason Uluwatu is the second address for this Canggu trailblazer. Standing proud on Uluwatu’s most happening corner, Mason Uluwatu is filled out every night with a hypnotic buzz from the bustling open kitchen. Low lighting, cosy seating and breezy tropical plants set the scene, flocked by Uluwatu’s finest, hungry for a taste of Mason’s longstanding signatures (like the 48-hour slow cooked short ribs) and new Uluwatu-specific additions. We can’t get enough of the pork loin with green harissa, or the chermoula crusted tuna with onion soubise. Wash it all down with superb cocktails, like the Mason Old Fashioned.

2. Yuki
By very popular demand, Yuki has brought its innovative Japanese fusion cuisine from Canggu to Uluwatu. A modern take on a traditional izakaya, Yuki focuses on simple yet progressive dishes that honour traditional Japanese cooking techniques and Bali’s bountiful ingredients. Try the nori ahi tacos made with watermelon and ponzu, or the tuna truffle maki roll, the Wagyu sando and the wood-fired yakitori. Yuki’s Japanese-inspired signature cocktails are just as impressive – we love the Off To Tokyo with a hint of wasabi and furikake, or the tangy Yukies 2.0, made with gin, kalamansi, goji berry and yuzu.

3. Tacos Aqui
From Umalas to Uluwatu, Tacos Aqui is Bali’s muy caliente Mexican restaurant and taqueria. You can’t miss this new Uluwatu location: a double-story, neon pink kaleidoscope of chaotic architecture, reminiscent of a psychedelic Hacienda ranch house. And the menu is just as impressive. The tortillas, salsa and hot sauces are all made in-house, and everything on the menu uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients. You’ll want to bring your amigos and start with some spicy ceviche, a round of tacos and a few signature margies (our fave is the La Alma!), then fill up on the Achiote chicken in an orange tequila sauce, or the slow-cooked Birria short rib. With live music, laid-back vibes, plus Taco Tuesdays and Thursdays, there’s no excuse but to try ’em all…

4. Ulu Garden
In the heart of Uluwatu is Ulu Garden – an all-day restaurant that honours nature and its rich Indonesian roots. Built around a magnificent tree, the breezy tropical garden shifts with the rise and fall of the sun, from a relaxing brunch space by day, to a lively evening spot with live music by night. As for the menu, expect perfectly balanced dishes that blend Balinese ingredients and spices with Western influences. Our fave is the coconut tuna bowl with sambal matah, and the chicken betutu served with all the traditional trimmings. Top tip: keep your eyes on the Ulu Garden calendar, because you can catch Balinese dance performances, culture talks, art expositions and workshops, as well as intimate concerts, artist stories and an Indonesian-inspired festival.

This popular burger bar serves up craft burgers with quality ingredients that keep us coming back for more. Kick off with their best-selling classic BB52 Burger for breakfast, or go big with the Big Mac to power through lunch. Then end the day with their signature O-G burger on a pretzel bun for dinner.

Graze on Turkish poached eggs with rye sourdough for breakfast, before crispy skin barramundi for lunch and beef stroganoff for dinner. All of which is best enjoyed with Ours’ list of classic cocktails. And with a focus on high quality local ingredients and a sustainable approach to food, you can feel good about tucking into the whole lot too…

Tucked away at the bottom of the cliffs on Bingin Beach, Kelly’s is something of an institution around these parts (and one of the handful of locally-owned cafes in Uluwatu!). Overlooking the waves and with steps that go right down onto the sand, there are few better places to while away a lazy Bingin day. The food is simple, healthy and hearty, with a refreshing drinks list and some of the coldest beers around. Try the colourful Pitaya Bowl for brekkie, and the generous flat breads with all kinds of toppings for a post-surf lunch. We love the stylish lounge and boho-chic vibes on the second floor…

The plant-based menu is a wholesome mix of raw and gently cooked gluten-free creations, from hearty salad bowls to stacked sandwiches and an all-day breakfast lineup. Kickstart your morning with a Turmeric Latte, then refuel post-surf with a protein-rich falafel bowl. Come dinnertime, the Pumpkin Moringa pizza is a must-try, best paired with Alchemy’s house-brewed kombucha. We love the interiors here too – think barn-like vibes, a fire-pit, and lush green gardens…

For artisanal breakfasts and the best bread in town, head to Artisan in both Uluwatu and Ungasan. A buzzing cafe by day, and a sleek dinner spot by night, Artisan has become our go-to for a pre-surf feast, a fancy night out and everything in between. We love the Ungasan location for its easy breezy brunch vibes, and the 2-4-1 pizza deals on a Tuesday. Whereas the Uluwatu address is best for dinner dates and cocktails with your mates. Try the Yalla Habibi for breakfast, the Trifecta sandwich for lunch, then at dinnertime, fill your table with yellowfin tuna, grilled chicken skewers and our fave: the tagliatelle with sun-dried tomato and stracciatella cheese.

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!

Taking residence atop Uluwatu’s rugged cliffs, Waatu is the latest creation from the internationally-acclaimed Australian Chef James Viles, which celebrates local produce, culture and primal cooking. Low, slow and perfectly charred, fire is at the heart of Waatu’s menu, with produce-driven dishes and fire-kissed recipes designed to swap and share. Fill your table with folded flatbreads, still-warm hummus, Wagyu yakitori skewers and whole-roasted fish, and save room for dessert to try the the whipped chocolate and salted caramel mousse, theatrically served inside a whole cacao. Wash it all down with Waatu’s whimsical cocktails, which are worth a trip to Uluwatu alone.

The best restaurants in Uluwatu for FINE DINING
41. Il Ristorante – Niko Romito
Push the boat out with a trip to Bvlgari Resort Bali’s opulent dining experience, Il Ristorante. Helmed by famed Michelin-starred chef Niko Romito, Il Ristorante is an intimate restaurant that specialises in contemporary and creative blend of classic Italian flavours and Bali’s local ingredients.
You’ll want to dress to impress at this suave dinner-only venue, where you can choose between four- or seven-courses of impeccably plated creations. But, I love that they’ve given us the option to go for à la carte dishes, too.
I’d recommend a wine pairing if you’re coming with a date. Or better yet, start the evening early with a pre-dinner Aperitivo hour from 6pm – 7pm at Bvlgari’s cliff-front bar. It’s where complimentary Italian canapés will be served, alongside an award-winning cocktail list and a fiery Bali sunset…

This latest venture is a 22-seat subterranean restaurant where you can graze on a seven- or ten-course menu of modern gastronomy with interludes in between, projecting theatrical displays on the magnificent rock formations all around. You also have the option to pair your degustation with wine and cocktails, which isn’t mandatory, but highly recommended…
