Hidden in a candlelit, open-air garden in Umalas, Uma Garden is one of the most romantic dinner settings near Seminyak and Canggu. Everything is cooked over wood, charcoal and embers by head chef Daniel Wibowo, from dry-aged steaks and whole fish to handmade pasta, with bread baked in-house every day.

Share the chef’s signature Chateaubriand or a dry-aged Tomahawk, and start with the burnt provolone piccante. For a special occasion, the Romantic Dinner Package for two (from IDR 2,000,000) includes four courses, sparkling wine, a bouquet and table decoration. Come on a Tuesday for live jazz or a Thursday for blues.

At The Apurva Kempinski in Nusa Dua, Koral is Bali’s first aquarium restaurant, with a dining room built around a vast tank of marine life and tables that run along an aquarium tunnel. Its set and degustation menus bring a modern twist to Indonesian coastal flavours and local ingredients.

Choose the eight-course Signature menu, with dishes such as Kalimantan blue crab and Papua bamboo lobster, or the five-course Gourmet menu. For the most romantic seat in the house, book a tunnel table for two (from IDR 3,000,000++ per couple). Dinner is adults only.

Perched on the cliffs inside Malini Agropark, Malini Uluwatu is an Indonesian and seafood restaurant with a sunset cliff bar overlooking the Indian Ocean. Its heart-shaped stone arch on the cliff has made it one of Uluwatu’s favourite spots for couples, honeymooners and sunset photos.

Start with the Ravioli al Tovagliolo, eaten by hand, then share the Ravioli d’Anatra and Tagliatelle all’Aragosta with lobster. The fish of the day baked al cartoccio is a lovely dish to share for two, and the pistachio dessert is the perfect finish.

Founded in 2001 by chef Chris Salans and now led by executive chef Blake Thornley, Mozaic is Ubud’s grande dame of contemporary French-Indonesian gastronomy.
