It’s particularly easy to go on the hunt for places to dine, drink and be merry in Bali. Other than the hip happening spots, there is always a new place opening up. Here is a round-up of the new tables opening to help you decide your next trip’s itinerary.
Luma – Canggu
Located on Batu Bolong in the center of Canggu, Luma serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with a heavy emphasis on seasonal and local ingredients. Simple, rustic recipes that combine classic Southern European traditions with local ingredients from Bali and the neighboring islands.
Featuring a sunken pool turned lounge, live music on Thursdays and an ever-changing menu by the accomplished Aussie chef, Kieran Morland, whom also co-founded Sangsaka and Merah Putih in Seminyak. This new dinner-only restaurant is a collaboration with Kiwi chef, Cameron Emirali, who owns and operates 10 Greek Street in London’s Soho area. Luma is set to be one of the hottest restaurants in town.

Solé – Batu Belig
One of the latest beach clubs in Bali, Mari Beach Club, is now also home to Solé. The restaurant features a relaxed environment overlooking the coastline, blending a pleasant and easygoing eating setting with exceptional service, with 140 seats available to greet guests.
Chef Martin Loving, a Swedish native who’s worked at some of the world’s most prominent fine dining establishments, combines the ingredients of herbs and spices proudly recognized to Mediterranean meals, with the degrees of umami cranked up throughout the menu. Combining traditional Japanese techniques with the products and features of Mediterranean cuisine, he mixes methods from those two quite different locations in an innovative and effective way.

Gyukatsu Tenjin – Seminyak
Serving only gyukatsu and sando in their menu, this cute little joint is also designed to look similarly like a traditional Japanese izakaya. The place also provides you with linen spray to make sure the grill smell doesn’t stay on your outfit. Grill your gyukatsu to perfection and enjoy the range of flavors and textures in one mouthful.
