Where is the best place to eat in Seminyak? In the city where a new trend-setting restaurant seems to be opening every week, this has become one of the most commonly asked (and difficult to answer) questions from visitors to Bali. We decided to narrow the selection a bit by giving you our top 15 favourite Seminyak restaurants when looking to indulge in a gourmet, upscale dining experience. Happy dining everyone!

1. Sardine

One of Bali’s most well known fine dining restaurants, Sardine serves French cuisine in a setting of green rice paddies and banana trees. The restaurant itself sits in a bamboo pavilion and serves up fresh and healthy organic produce from the farm. Highly recommended!

2. Métis

Another one of Seminyak’s original 5-course, French-inspired establishments, Métis still earns its spot on our list due to its consistent quality of dishes and sophisticated ambience. The steak is a must-try and the French wine list is comprehensive (with prices you’d expect at home). The new sofa lounge and bar looking out across the lily pond and lotus blossoms make this a safe choice for large groups and special occasions.

3. Mama San

A new kid on Seminyak’s foodie block, Mama San has quickly earned a high-ranking reputation as an innovative and fresh restaurant here in Bali. Home to an Asian fusion-inspired kitchen, the starters and main dishes complement each other well and are intended to be shared in a sampling style. The beef and bamboo dumplings along with the clay pot snapper never fail to impress. The energy is buzzing, the tables intimate, and the bill not as jaw-dropping as one would expect a restaurant of this calibre to produce. Reservations definitely required; book far in advance if possible.Location: Jalan Raya Kerobokan | Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia
