Introduction

After spending almost two months in Bali, eating out nearly every day became part of my routine. Between cafés, brunch spots, and restaurants, I ended up visiting far more places than I ever expected.

If you've researched Bali before, you've probably come across countless viral cafés on social media. But for a place to make it onto this list, it needed more than just a beautiful setting. Great food, a relaxed atmosphere, and a place I'd genuinely want to return to all mattered just as much.

These are the places that stood out most during my time on the island — from cafés overlooking rice terraces and some of my favorite brunch spots to the restaurant that served the best meal I had in Bali.

Whether you're planning your first trip to Bali or looking for new places to add to your itinerary, these cafés are perfect additions to your Bali adventure. If you're planning a shorter visit, you can also check out my 7-day Bali itinerary for ideas on how to explore the island.

1. Tis Café (Tegallalang)

If you're looking for a breakfast spot with a view, Tis Café is one of the places I remember most from Bali. Located near the rice terraces of Tegallalang, it offers a peaceful setting surrounded by greenery and makes a great place to start the day.

Before breakfast, I spent some time walking through the nearby Mupu Rice Terrace, which made the whole experience feel even more special. While the food was excellent, it was the combination of the views and the peaceful setting that made Tis Café so memorable.

2. Wedja Restaurant (Ubud)

If I had to choose just one place to revisit in Bali, it would probably be Wedja. The atmosphere alone makes it worth visiting, with traditional Balinese design, lush surroundings, and a setting that feels completely different from most cafés and restaurants on the island.

What secured its place on this list, however, was the food. The duck dish ended up being the best meal I had during my two months in Bali, and it's one of the few meals I still remember long after leaving the island.

3. Blend Café (Ubud)

Despite being located right in the center of Ubud, Blend Café feels surprisingly peaceful once you're inside. It became one of the places I found myself returning to whenever I was in Ubud, whether for breakfast, coffee, or one of their beautifully presented smoothie bowls.

The café feels completely removed from the busy streets outside, making it an easy place to spend an hour or two before continuing your day.

Ubud quickly became one of my favorite areas in Bali, not only because of its cafés and restaurants, but also because of its culture, nature, and unique atmosphere. If you're deciding where to base yourself in Bali, I've shared more details in my Where to Stay in Bali guide.

4. Single Fin (Uluwatu)

One of the things I appreciated most about Single Fin was that I managed to get a table without a reservation — something that isn't always easy at popular sunset spots in Bali. Perched on the cliffs of Uluwatu, it's one of the best places to watch the sunset while overlooking the ocean and the surfers below.

If I were visiting again, I would arrive earlier, spend some time by the pool, and stay through sunset and dinner.

5. Brunch Club Pererenan (Pererenan)

The fluffy pancakes were the reason I first visited Brunch Club, but they ended up being much bigger than I expected. If I were ordering them again, I would probably choose the smaller stack, especially if you're planning to order anything else.

Beyond the food, I loved the interior, which is filled with plants and natural details that make the whole space feel bright and welcoming.

Other Cafés Worth Visiting in Bali

While the places above were my personal favorites, there are a few other cafés and restaurants that I also enjoyed during my time in Bali and would happily recommend if you have extra time.

Milk & Madu Beach Road (Canggu)

A popular all-day dining spot with a relaxed atmosphere, generous portions, and consistently good food. It's the kind of place that works equally well for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

KYND Community (Seminyak, Canggu & Uluwatu)

One of Bali's most Instagrammable cafés, known for its colorful smoothie bowls, creative presentation, and fully plant-based menu. Fortunately, the food is just as enjoyable as the photos.

Muse Café & Art (Ubud)

A lovely option for anyone looking for healthier food choices in Ubud. The menu focuses on fresh ingredients, and the atmosphere feels calm and welcoming.

Livingstone Holyground (Ubud)

One of the places I would consider if you're looking for somewhere to work remotely for a few hours. The food is excellent, the space is comfortable, and there's plenty of room to settle in with a laptop.

Motel Mexicola (Seminyak, Canggu)

If you're craving Mexican food while in Bali, Motel Mexicola is worth considering. I found it a little pricey compared to some other restaurants on the island, but the food certainly didn't disappoint.

Melali Ubud (Ubud)

A great spot for a relaxed meal in Ubud. While the front faces a busy road, the seating area further inside feels much quieter and makes it easy to forget about the traffic outside.

✦ Before you go

If I were planning another trip to Bali tomorrow, these are the places I'd add straight back to my list.

Some earned their place on this list because of the food, others because of the atmosphere, the views, or the overall experience. Either way, they're the spots I would happily revisit and recommend to friends visiting Bali for the first time.
