If you enjoy beaches and surfing, the beautiful Uluwatu – Bukit Peninsula in Bali’s far south is undoubtedly the greatest area to stay. You can spend the entire day at sea, catching one wave after another, or you can ride your motorcycle from clifftop to clifftop, discovering hidden beaches, sacred temples, and monkey tribes.
Uluwatu has many wonderful villas, and if you’re wondering where to eat, keep reading because these are the top restaurants on Bali’s Bukit Peninsula:
Mason Uluwatu
If you adore Bali and have stayed in Canggu, you’ve probably heard of Mason, one of the island’s top spots for cuisine and beverages. The best news is that Mason has just opened a tropical indoor/outdoor restaurant with an open kitchen in Uluwatu. Enjoy succulent wood-fired meals, premium cuts of meat, fresh fish, and slow-cooked short ribs. The beverages here are fantastic.
Expect the same delectable cuisine created by Group Executive Chef Ben Cross and a plethora of new additions. Consider Lamb Kleftiko with anchovies, potatoes, oregano, and Seared Swordfish with romesco, leeks, almonds, and herbs. The venue’s well-known woodfired breads and the perennially famous Wood Fired Bread Pudding will be available.
Mason Uluwatu will eventually include a selection of special cocktails, but you may sip on typical Mason favorites for now. The Sicilian (gin, blood orange, agave, citrus, mint, tonic) and the legendary Margarita A La Mason (tequila, lime, pomegranate) are two examples.

Nourish
Nourish Cafe Uluwatu features a contemporary minimalist design that is blended with industrial and modern influences. Aside from that, the open air approach improves the atmosphere in this cafe. It’s no surprise that many people, including myself, love our visits to this cafe. Based on our previous experiences, the service at this cafe is quite decent. The waiter was attentive enough to greet us and to take my food order. Aside from that, the food and drinks I ordered were delivered within a respectable time frame of 5 – 30 minutes after we ordered.
Have you ever tried a vegan fried egg? Here’s your chance at Uluwatu’s Nourish restaurant. This cafe and pizza has two locations on The Bukit, both of which serve fresh, nutritious meals produced from organic and locally sourced products. The Bingin location also has a grocery shop connected to the cafe, so you can bring some of their fresh items back to your villa. Try the salad and superfood bowls, and don’t forget about the wood-fired pizzas! Nourish is a beautiful, light-filled cafe and restaurant surrounded by vegetation that is always bustling with joyful people.

Alchemy Uluwatu
Bali’s original vegan restaurant now has a second location in Uluwatu, this time in the tranquil Bingin neighborhood. And, like its predecessor, Alchemy Uluwatu respects Mother Nature by employing all-natural, sustainable, and organic ingredients. The restaurant offers a healthful cuisine of raw and gently cooked plant-based and gluten-free delicacies such as large colorful salad bowls, chunky sandwiches, and an all-day breakfast menu.
Begin your day with a Turmeric Latte and snack on a Spinach Mushroom Quiche in between surf sessions. For dinner, enjoy a Pumpkin Moringa pizza with Alchemy’s handmade kombucha. We really enjoy the interiors, which include a fire pit, barn-like atmosphere, and lush green gardens. Bliss!
Mana Uluwatu
Come for the breathtaking views, but stay for the soulful cuisine and cutting-edge beverages. Mana Uluwatu is set on the cliffs of Uluwatu Surf Villas, overlooking the crashing surf and shimmering horizon. The food here is wholesome, nourishing nibbles from both land and sea, in true surfer flair. Consider jackfruit enchiladas and Baja shrimp tacos.
Alternatively, kimchi dumplings and Balinese chorizo, and shrimp fried rice are available. Everything is served in a stunning open-air pavilion made of salvaged teak and ironwood. The vistas, the food, and the excellent vibes here are best savored with a Mana cocktail in hand and a golden glow out there – try the Espresso Martini, and don’t pass on the passion fruit mojito.
