Named after the Sanskrit word for the energy of fire and warmth, Teja Uluwatu cooks almost everything over live flames. The modern European kitchen keeps its plates simple and its produce premium, serving them in a handcrafted room of raw textures and natural materials, with a rooftop bar for sunset cocktails and a fireplace snack menu.

Share the BBQ Octopus with macadamia tarator and roasted grapes, then move on to the Wild Papuan Prawns or the 550g Pork Tomahawk with brown butter. Or leave it to the kitchen with the Feed Me menu (from IDR 550,000++ per person) of oysters, dry-aged tuna and charcoal chicken.

Perched above the cliffs of Uluwatu, moments from the waves, YUKI Uluwatu is a modern Japanese izakaya that pairs Japanese technique with Balinese ingredients and seafood from local fishermen. The open-air terrace is the spot for sunset, and after dark the bar lounge and garden host DJ takeovers. Sundays bring a bottomless brunch.

Set in a garden above Bingin Beach, Gooseberry is a family-run modern French restaurant rooted in classic technique. Guests choose between the poolside terrace and an air-conditioned dining room, and everything from the baguettes to the pastries comes from its own L’Atelier bakery. There is even a dry-aging chamber you can visit.

At dinner, start with La Soupe à l’Oignon or pan-seared foie gras with shallot tatin, then order the Wagyu Boeuf Bourguignon or a wood-grilled butcher’s cut. By day, the three-course Le Déjeuner set lunch and a French afternoon tea from Friday to Sunday make it one of the most polished lunch stops around Bingin Beach.

Near Padang Padang Beach, Osteria Luna serves what it calls “Italian everyday”: modern coastal cooking with handmade pasta, wood-fired mains and pizzetta made from dough fermented for 48 hours. The bright, airy room with artistic touches works as well for a long lunch as for an aperitivo that turns into dinner.

Go for the Rigatoni alla Vodka with stracciatella, followed by the lobster squid ink spaghetti with fermented chili or a Pizzetta Nduja with house hot honey. Add a lychee and lemongrass Bellini, or skip the decisions altogether with the Chef’s Selection.

Part of Uluwatu Surf Villas but open to everyone, Mana Uluwatu is a clifftop, open-air pavilion with ocean views, a more formal dining area upstairs and a casual poolside space beside the infinity pool. It is a relaxed choice for a sunset dinner, and its gallery has hosted a monthly art exhibition since 2013.

The kitchen cooks sustainably sourced seafood with Indonesian spices.

Wood-fired pizzas are good for sharing.

Down a hidden staircase at The Edge, The Cave by Chef Ryan Clift is a 22-seat restaurant set inside a natural limestone cave, discovered in 2013 and thought to be around 25,000 years old.

The Japanese and Peruvian sushi list includes the White Crunchy Roll, and a Mango Spicy Margarita suits the lively Friday nights.

Bartolo is a French and Italian bistro and cocktail bar with vermouth at its heart, and the sister restaurant of Lulu Bistrot in Canggu.
