2. La Lucciola
Seminyak’s original, simplest and possibly most loved beachfront institution. It’s a little bit of ‘old-Bali’ in the best way possible, before high-tech and high-stylin’ took over. Here’s where you’d head for Mediterranean fare and a huge selection of wine. It’s impossible not to love “La Looch”, with its always amazing service, legendary food and excellent views. We love that it’s one of Seminyak’s only places with no wi-fi – just like Bali used to be.

But don’t be fooled – the ingredients are only tip-top quality sourced from around the country, and the standard is world-class. Couple that with the upscale interior and you’ve got yourself a resto you’ll never want to leave.
Mama San, Jl Raya Kerobokan No. 135, Seminyak; Open daily 12pm – 2.30pm & 5.30pm – 10.30pm.
4. Ijen
Set inside Bali’s most progressive beach club, Ijen at Potato Head is Indonesia’s first ever restaurant that follows a zero-waste philosophy. Their ocean-fresh seafood is simply sublime, caught locally using a hand-reeling process and classically grilled over an open fire. It’s a remarkable eco-conscious space, with equally exceptional dishes, like Crudo served with fermented green chilli, smoked cream and ink cracker, alongside a range of creative veggie dishes and some of the best local sambals we’ve ever tasted.
Ijen at Desa Potato Head, Jl Petitenget No. 51B, Seminyak; Open daily 12pm – 10pm.
5. Seasalt
Seasalt is Seminyak’s ocean and salt-inspired restaurant that we’ve fallen head over flip flops for. It’s located right on the beachfront at Alila Seminyak, with endless ocean views and an ever-present sea breeze as company. Beachy, chic and also home to one of our fave Sunday brunches in Bali, this fabulously fresh seaside restaurant is a must-try, with sublime Japanese-infused dishes. It goes without saying that sundowners here are unparalleled, with exceptional designer cocktails that follow a strict zero-waste concept. Cheers to that!

Mauri, Jl Petitenget No. 100, Seminyak, p. +62 817 776 177, e. reservations@mauri-restaurant.com
7. Lacalita
Like the salt to your tequila or the beans to your burrito, Lacalita is the heart and soul of Seminyak’s Mexican scene. Arguably the original Mexican cantina that kickstarted the island’s love of loaded tacos and mega margaritas, Lacalita (formerly Lacalaca) is a buzzing joint that comes with kick-ass and unpretentious vibes, dishing up modern Mexican food with a twist. Think generous servings of locally sourced fresh ingredients, traditional spices direct from Mexico and home-made tortillas too. The kicker? Awesome and friendly staff who’ll get your Mexican juices flowing. Yup, Lacalita is where it’s at for a true Mexican feast, and you can find them in Canggu too!

8. HUGE
HUGE has long turned heads with its sleek interiors and eclectic art. But the food is just as impressive. Hospitality heavyweights Nic Philip and Maxie Hill have given it a modern “Grill & Raw Bar” touch. Think fire-to-table meats, raw plates, and plenty to share. Settle in early to soak up the art-filled space, then head to the soundproof bar for killer cocktails before dinner. As the energy rises, so does the menu — zesty ceviche, red snapper crudo, and a juicy Aussie steak, grilled to perfection. Oh, and don’t forget to look up — the dramatic Balinese ceiling is a masterpiece in itself.
