Noaa
Part of the Dubai-based BDC conglomerate, this sleek Seminyak eatery plates up international cuisine mingled with Asian flavours.
Chicago-raised chef Richard Phelps is the man behind the menu, and his love of seafood shines through.
Imaginative sushi rolls, a raw seafood bar, fusion dumplings, rich Indian curries, and unique takes on satay (grilled Indonesian meat skewers) are just a taste of what’s on offer.
There are also Western favourites, like charcuterie boards and hand-tossed Neapolitan-style pizzas. It’s a cliche, but there’s literally ‘something for everyone’.

Spice Mantraa Seminyak
Spice Mantraa Seminyak takes Indian fine dining to the next level. Signature dishes include the spice-laced mulligatawny soup and smoked butter chicken. As with traditional Indian food, vegetarian options are plenty, and very creative. Spiced mixed potatoes cooked in the tandoor, spiced paneer (Indian cottage cheese) with spinach, and deliciously healthy Dal Makhani are just a few of the highlights. Each plate is a work of art, and served with a touch of theatre.

Bali Wasabi Sushi Train
Who doesn’t love a sushi train?
Located in the heart of Seminyak’s Eat Street, Jalan Kayu Aya, you can dine on sushi, dumplings, and ramen until your stomach is content. With a stunning bamboo design, Wasabi Sushi Train is one of our favourite venues to drop into when we have a hankering for sushi. Serving maki rolls, nigiri, sashimi and their own signature rolls, there is no shortage of choice! There isn’t only sushi on the menu though, their steamed dumplings are not to be missed, and the ramen is worth slurping on too.
We find it hard to stray from the sushi and dumplings, but you’ll also find fresh salads and hot plates cooked to order on the menu too! There are a range of vegan offers on the menu, including 4 varieties of their famous dumplings.
Want to enjoy their dishes while enjoying your villa or resort? They also offer free home delivery, find the full menu and ordering instructions on their website.

Naughty Nuri’s Seminyak
Like its sister outlets in Ubud and Sanur, Nuri’s Seminyak is famous for its triple-strength cocktails, killer pork ribs, and fun atmosphere.
The legendary ribs — smothered in Balinese spices and barbecue sauce and grilled over charcoal — are a must-try.
But there’s plenty more worth shouting about, including the juicy beef short ribs and the whole roasted ayam bakar (chicken) served with lashings of sambal matah (sliced chilli condiment). Then there are the cocktails; so strong that it’s impossible to drink more than five (and walk out!).

Santorini Greek Restaurant
Step inside this blue-and-white themed eatery, and you’ll be transported to the sun-drenched shores of Greece.
And we think the fresh and fragrant Greek cuisine translates really well in Bali.
Dive into the dips (hummus, tzatziki, baba ghanoush), pig out on pittas filled with grilled pork, chicken, or falafel; or sit and savour one of their deliciously more-ish moussakas.

Fire at W
Inspired by Bali’s flamboyant kecak (fire dance), Fire at the beachfront W hotel showcases dry-aged, flame-cooked meats in five-star surroundings.
Dining here is a decadent affair and might begin with seared scallops, oysters two ways, or charred local octopus. But it’s the grain and grass-fed steaks, carefully dry-aged for 20 days by the chefs, that steal the show.
Charred seasonal veg dishes make a delicious side, and there’s a stellar wine list to wash it all down. Fire’s mixologists are pretty handy with a blowtorch too, crafting molecular-style cocktails like the “Hanoman Obong”.

Wild Habit
Neapolitan pizzas — with thin, smoky crusts and simple but tasty toppings — is the specialty of this affordably priced Seminyak eatery. Great care is taken in preparing the pizza dough, which is fermented for three days to ensure the best texture and taste.
Try the best-selling Wild Habit pizza, scattered with prosciutto, parmesan, rocket, and melt-in-your-mouth burrata, or the handmade rigatoni with braised wagyu.
Both pair splendidly with a craft beer or cocktail from the drinks menu. And if you’re on a budget, they have Aperitivo Hour from 3 to 6pm, or Buy 2 cocktails get FREE Antipasto board.

Bo & Bun
This under-the-radar gem specialises in Southeast Asian street food.
Tuck into fragrant Thai green curry, more-ish Chinese pork buns (bao), or zesty fresh spring rolls à la Vietnam. And unlike more famous addresses, you’ll get 2-4-1 cocktails everyday from 3 until 6 pm.
It’s a tad loud due to the busy Jalan Basangkasa, but we reckon that only adds to its authenticity.

Coffee Cartel
Mexican aesthetics and Bali cafe culture combine in this boutique coffee house in fashionable Petitenget. A favourite with the babes of Instagram, the eatery is decorated with vintage wall art, potted cacti, and pastel-pink accents.
Food-wise, it’s all about veg-centric Aussie brunches. Specialties include the avo smash with green pea falafel, colourful superfood bowls, and muscle-building protein smoothies. But the highlight here is the coffee, which is so good that they supply some of the island’s top venues. Plus, the baristas can print anything from photos to love notes atop your crema.
Now open in the evenings serving natural wines, craft beers, signature cocktails, and classic comfort food.

Old and new world wines are the perfect complement, while the 20-day barrel-aged negronis fit in beautifully with the vintage New York-inspired decor.

Boss Man
In the heart of Seminyak, you’ll find Boss Man – a badass burger joint that’s all up in your grill!
With blinged-up waiters, furniture with more swagger than Pharrell himself, hip-hop beats, and burgers that live up to their hype, there is no mistaking that this place has some serious street appeal.
Offering six carefully crafted signature burgers made with 60-day aged prime chuck steak, there is no denying that at Boss Man, burger-making is an art form. Their premium quality pork is cooked low and slow over 18 hours until juicy and tender and comes with a variety of homemade sauces. All burgers are served in a fresh mixed sesame seed bun and come with a choice of quality fries and sides – such as porcini and parmesan fries with truffle aioli, or cross-cut fries loaded with tender pulled pork.
Boss Man serves burgers to suit all taste buds, including ‘The Gandhi’s for those veggie-loving Bosses made with an edamame, quinoa & sunflower seed patty, loaded with beetroot and walnut salad.
Firing up the grill 16 hours a day and 7 days a week, why not show your stomach who’s boss?

Warung Nia
It’s the rijstaffel (rice with assorted delicacies) that keeps diners coming back to this budget-friendly warung (simple eatery).
Nia offers three outstanding versions of the Dutch colonial classic, sharing dishes like sate (meat skewers smothered in peanut sauce), babi kecap (pork in sweet soy sauce), urap (shredded coconut and green bean salad, and ayam sit sit (shredded chicken with shallots, chilli, and lemongrass).
