Clarissa & Guntur
Our Bali 🌴
Bartolo Bali
Italian bistro with a small but well-executed menu and one of our most recent favorites! Incredible steak frites & stellar drink list (esp. the black lime margarita & aperitif punch)
Ours Uluwatu
Solid all-day menu but we especially love it for brunch. Go for the Mediterranean options (shakshuka, Marrocan fried eggs)
Gooseberry Restaurant
Delicious brunch selection + in-house pool and intimates/swimwear boutique in case the sudden urge to buy a new bikini after a meal strikes (it happens)
![Suka Espresso [Uluwatu]](https://images.zola.com/f75bc808-1e98-470a-a4b7-3fdfbac0eeaa?h=150)
Suka Espresso [Uluwatu]
Another fantastic brunch place with the probably the best coffee on this side of the island
MASON. Uluwatu
Delish cuts & even better sides! Must get the hummus, cauliflower & broccoli salad. Our default “hmm where should we go today” restaurant 3 years running
Savaya Bali
It's a big claim, but this might be our absolute favorite party spot in Bali. We recommend booking a cabana and starting early (like 3PM) for a night to remember (or to forget - choice is yours!)
Cuca Restaurant
Been here so many times we've lost count - if you're anything like us and have tried everything, ask Chef Kevin for the off-menu specials. Regardless, we get the smoked butterfish, chili satay & beef bone with marrow every single time
Naughty Goat Coffee Artisans
No lie - some of the best coffee I've had in the world, crafted with love by Gun’s ultimate man-crush, Winston. Too bad he's married so Guntur has to settle for me :( Book the coffee omakase!
La Favela
Where we first *bonded* (wink!) one hazy, boozy night many moons ago. Legendary for bringing people together (my completely unbiased opinion, thank you very much)
Manina Cocktail Bar
Very laid-back, always reliable for drinks & snacks! Try the Gaijin cocktail
Mamasan Bali
Utterly delicious Southeast Asian fusion fare, very consistent & great for sharing / eating family-style
Sangsaka Restaurant
Elevated modern Indonesian fusion. Pro tip: the rotating tasting menus are unbelievable bang for your buck
Barbacoa
Latin American BBQ. Delish tacos, asado items & drinks!
Motel Mexicola
Literally always a good time, unless you hate fun, margaritas & Billboard music. In which case, why are you even at this wedding?
FED
Only serves set courses, and only for weekend dinnertime :( but love how creative the menu is. Reserve in advance!
07.AM Baker's Club
Bali is replete with top-notch bakeries selling beautiful, buttery, flakey pastries (Baked! Butterman! Braud!), but 07.AM is my personal favorite. Come early before they sell out!
Riviera Bistro
Gorgeous alfresco patio and wonderfully fresh pasta & seafood. Another one of our go-tos
Vault
Hip hop at Vault = consistently some of the best nights of my life. Underground and a little trashy in the best possible way
The Shady Pig
Artisanal cocktails that are definitely among Bali’s best and most innovative drinks. Can get pretty lit at night but can be relatively intimate early on. Also worth checking out their sister bars The Shady Fox & The Shady Flamingo
Behind The Green Door
Cocktail lounge with great music & great dancing every night
Bokashi Bali
Adorable Japanese-inspired cafe and gourmet grocery, love their breakfast bento & tuna chili eggs
Bar Souvenir
Tiny, intimate, best for conversation & thoughtfully crafted cocktails
Milk & Madu
OG Bali brunch spot, coffee could be better but the all-day breakfasts & salad bowls are a firm 10/10
Black Sand Brewery
Craft beer in the middle of a rice field, a quintessential Canggu experience. Very yummy & inventive food menu (both for mains and bar bites) as well. A must-visit!
Yema Kitchen
Wholesome Mediterranean in the prettiest courtyard
BABA Street.
Bold, punchy, street food-inspired Southeast Asian flavors
Luma Bali
Painfully chic Mediterranean fusion, look out for their daily specials!
SKOOL Kitchen
Open-flame cooking overlooking The Lawn Beach Club & Batu Bolong Beach. Pretty impossible not to love!
Blacklist Coffee Roasters
Heaven for coffee die-hards (i.e. me). As good as specialty coffee gets
Shelter Restaurant
Phenomenal!! We try to stop by every time we're in Bali. Hummus is to die for
Pica South American Kitchen
Tiny bistro with excellent food. Make sure to get the pork belly & the goat cheese soufflé
Honey & Smoke
Modern Australian grill in the heart of Ubud. The Feed Me tasting menu will not disappoint
Seeds Eatery
Authentic, homey & terribly tasty Thai - EXTREMELY popular so do book ahead or pop in at odd hours
Seniman Coffee
An Ubud classic! Amazing coffee + snacks
The Sayan House
Peruvian fusion overlooking the Ayung River / Sayan Valley. The ambiance alone is worth it, but the food is wonderful as well
