International Restaurants in Bali

Bali’s food scene isn’t just about nasi goreng and sate. You’ll find international restaurants sprinkled throughout the island, especially in areas like Seminyak, Canggu, and Ubud. It’s a mix of cozy little eateries and stylish spots where you can grab everything from Italian pizza to Japanese ramen or even Argentinian steak. But here’s the thing: some of the best international meals come from places you don’t spot on the main street, like that unassuming corner in Berawa serving authentic Mexican or the tucked-away French bistro on Jalan Hanuman in Ubud.

The island has a weird way of blending laid-back vibes with seriously good food, so don’t be surprised if your pasta is served alongside a view of coconut palms or a rice terrace. If you want a pro tip, avoid the crowds around Kuta for international food and try east Bali, like Amed, where restaurants might be fewer but the flavors stand out because the chefs are passionate and local ingredients fresh. Oh, and if you love a good brunch, places in Canggu like Crate or Betelnut offer international plates with a tropical twist. Just remember, Bali’s slower pace means sometimes you’ll wait a bit for your meal, but it’s worth it.
