Bali’s renowned woodfired-focused eatery, Mason, has long fallen into the category of must-visit for both Bali locals and visitors alike. Now the Canggu-based establishment has welcomed a sister venue with the recent opening of Mason Uluwatu.

You’ll notice the DNA of the Canggu original forms the base of Mason Uluwatu, but this space mingles it with a touch more modernity, with an exposed kitchen, to really enhance the Mediterranean feel of the restaurant. You can expect the same delicious dishes, alongside a slew of new additions.

Think Lamb Kleftiko with anchovy, potato, and oregano, alongside a Seared Swordfish with romesco, leek, almond, and herbs. The venue’s much-loved wood-fired breads, and their signature wood-fired bread pudding will, like always, leave you in awe!
