JUNE UPDATE
New restaurants in Bali that opened in June 2026
Pony
New wood-fired restaurant, cocktail bar, and lounge in Berawa
A new addition to Berawa’s dining scene, Pony opens with a concept that brings together a restaurant, bar, and lounge into a single, flowing setting. Located on Jalan Raya Semat, the venue is designed for unhurried dinners that naturally transition into late-night drinks, offering a social dining experience that evolves throughout the evening.
At the heart of Pony is a wood-fired kitchen inspired by European culinary traditions, complemented by subtle Japanese influences and contemporary techniques. The menu centres on ingredient-driven cooking, with dishes ranging from grilled meats and seafood to handmade pastas and shareable plates, all shaped by the flavours of charcoal, smoke, and flame.
The drinks programme follows a similarly considered approach. Beginning with lighter aperitivo-style serves, the cocktail selection progresses towards more spirit-forward creations as the evening unfolds. Modern classics are interpreted with restraint, incorporating techniques such as clarification and carbonation while maintaining a focus on balance and drinkability.
The venue’s interiors draw inspiration from classic New York lounges, pairing deep burgundy tones, layered textures, and curated artwork with contemporary design details. As day turns to night, the ambience shifts accordingly, moving from relaxed dinner service to a more energetic late-evening setting.
Beyond its regular dining and bar offerings, Pony plans to host a programme of collaborative events spanning music, art, and culture, adding another dimension to the venue’s identity. With hospitality at its core, the team aims to create a welcoming space where guests can settle in for a meal, a drink or an evening that lingers well into the night.
Open daily from 6 PM until late.

KAJA by Numa
New Mediterranean restaurant in Ubud
Mediterranean cuisine, world-class pizza, and immersive design: these are the three elements that shape the concept behind Ubud’s latest culinary destination – KAJA by Numa. Opened on 5 June 2026, KAJA introduces a contemporary casual dining concept designed as more than just a restaurant.
Designed with sculpted cave-like walls, warm layered lighting, and a dramatic yet intimate ambience, the space delivers a dining atmosphere unlike anything else currently found in Ubud. Every detail has been meticulously considered to create a destination as memorable as the food itself.
Leading the kitchen brigade is Head Chef Michail, whose menu draws upon Mediterranean culinary heritage, infused with global techniques and Bali’s finest seasonal ingredients. The menu has been carefully curated to allow guests to move seamlessly from refined starters, such as Scallop Ceviche with coconut-yuzu tiger’s milk, to signature mains, including Slow-Braised Oxtail with crispy plantain, alongside premium wood-fired robata selections featuring Australian Wagyu and Tomahawk cuts.
Moreover, KAJA takes pride in its pizza programme, led by Pasquale Mormile, champion of the 2023 World Neapolitan Pizza Championship. With decades of experience in dough fermentation, Neapolitan traditions, and contemporary pizza-making techniques, he has developed a menu that balances authenticity with innovation.
From classics such as the Margherita and Marinara to more inventive creations, including the Tonno e Cipolla, showcasing four iterations of onion paired with raw tuna, and the Scarpetta, topped with handmade pesto and premium ingredients, the pizza selection reflects both craftsmanship and creativity.
As Ubud continues to thrive as one of Southeast Asia’s most progressive culinary and cultural hubs, KAJA promises an experience that transcends dining, bringing together design, hospitality, and culinary excellence in one destination.
Open daily from 5 PM to 12 AM.

Baker Butcher Barista (B3) Ubud
New bakery-by-day and steakhouse-by-night in Ubud
Designed to evolve from a morning bakery into an evening steakhouse, the newly opened Baker Butcher Barista (B3) brings an adaptable all-day dining experience to the heart of Ubud. The venue serves as an all-day space where a bakery counter, coffee speciality bar, and modern steakhouse operate together, changing character to suit the time of day from breakfast to night drinks.
The menu highlights a balanced selection of familiar favourites from the Jakarta flagship alongside brand-new creations crafted specifically for Bali. Guests can enjoy signature Jakarta staples like the Corny Bennie, Crab Toast, B.Mw.-Cang, and Pastrami Sandwich, or try exclusive regional additions, such as B.E.K – which pairs bulgogi and kimchi with an onsen egg inside a pastry – and a garlic-heavy croissant knot known as the Garlic Bomb. Regulars will also recognise the popular Tjempedak Croissant, Kenari Croissant, and CocoMochi pastries on display.
Adapting to the Ubud community’s preferences, the menu incorporates a dedicated plant-forward section featuring a Watermelon Salad, Spiced Pumpkin Tabbouleh, and a Tempeh Club sandwich.

Behind the bar, house-roasted beans supply the standard espresso menu, supplemented by drinks that utilise local flavour profiles such as the Teh Botol Latte, Onde Onde coffee, and Dji Sam Susu, as well as cold variations like Black Apple and Black Calamansi. The beverage lineup also features premium matcha prepared using both traditional whisks and modern latte styles.
Open daily from 10 AM to 10.30 PM.
LUCA
New casual modern steakhouse in Sanur
Opened on 16 May 2026, LUCA marks a confident new chapter for the renowned Boy’N’Cow Group, introducing a casual premium steakhouse concept to Sanur’s evolving dining scene. The two-storey venue presents a softer, more inviting identity, moving away from the group’s signature darker tones into a palette of warm neutrals that balances refinement with ease. Designed with both comfort and versatility in mind, the space accommodates intimate dinners, celebratory gatherings, and everything in between, all within a setting that feels polished yet approachable.
At its core is a curated selection of premium dry-aged steaks, showcasing standout cuts such as Wagyu Bone-In Ribeye MB9 and Wagyu Tomahawk, sourced for quality and depth of flavour. These are complemented by a thoughtfully composed menu of starters, signature dishes, and distinctive pasta offerings, created exclusively for this concept. Each element reflects a focus on balance, technique, and ingredient-led cooking.
Beyond the menu, LUCA unfolds as a complete dining experience. The open grill and dry-ageing display bring a sense of theatre to the room, while the second-floor lounge offers a more intimate setting to enjoy signature cocktails such as the Barrel Aged Cocktail and Lychee Club. Altogether, LUCA introduces a more relaxed yet elevated way to experience steak in Bali.
Open daily from 5 PM to 11 PM.

APRIL UPDATE

CURE Bali
New European-Asian seaside dining in Canggu
Set along the vibrant Canggu beachfront, a new culinary destination quietly emerges at Regent Bali Canggu: introducing CURE Bali. Adding a new dimension to the resort’s culinary landscape, the restaurant positions itself as a premier dining destination amid Canggu’s evolving culinary scene.
The brainchild of Michelin-starred chef Andrew Walsh, the restaurant presents a dining experience that weaves modern Eastern techniques with vibrant, complex Asian flavours, all defined by Bali’s coastal allure and spirit of hospitality.
The opening builds on the legacy established by the original Michelin-starred CURE concept in Singapore. Celebrated for its ingredient-forward approach and refined culinary vision, CURE has become synonymous with mindful cooking rooted in classical European foundations while drawing inspiration from Asia’s vast culinary traditions.
Working closely with Chef Andrew to shape CURE Bali’s culinary identity is Chef de Cuisine Arvin Tjandra, the man in charge of the kitchen’s day-to-day operations. The CURE Dining Room’s menus highlight exceptional seafood, premium meats, and seasonal produce, allowing complex flavours to shine through texture, balance, and restraint. A large portion of the dishes explores curing techniques that deepen flavour while maintaining freshness and are presented in a sharing-style format.
Several standouts include the Giant River Prawn, a dish that marries French culinary tradition with Southeast Asian vibrancy, and the Hokkaido Scallop, inspired by the traditional Yogyakarta stew mangut.
Meanwhile, the seaside Bar Nua complements the dining room with a cocktail programme that echoes CURE’s culinary philosophy. Derived from the Irish word “Nua”, meaning “new”, the bar reimagines classic cocktail structure through modern culinary techniques, Asian influences, and locally sourced ingredients. Through the CURE Dining Room, Bar Nua, and the upcoming twelve-seat open-kitchen Curing Room, CURE Bali is set to become a multi-faceted gastronomic hub where European and Asian culinary techniques and flavours intersect.
Open Tuesday to Saturday from 5 PM to 10 PM.
Junsei
New Japanese izakaya and listening bar in Sanur
On Bali’s southeast coast, where Sanur’s gentle rhythm continues to draw a new wave of interest, Junsei introduces a refined yet relaxed dining concept rooted in Japanese tradition. Originally founded in London in 2021, the modern ‘yakitori-ya’ arrives on Jalan Tamblingan with a clear philosophy: simplicity, executed with precision.
At its core is the art of yakitori – skewers grilled over binchōtan charcoal using traditional shichirin grills. Under the direction of Executive Chef Aman Lakhiani, the menu reflects a disciplined approach shaped by years of experience across Japan and Europe. Each skewer highlights the ingredient’s natural character, with minimal intervention and a focus on balance, texture, and consistency. Complementing the grill is a concise selection of izakaya-style plates, from crab-filled chicken wings to Balinese black pork katsu sandwiches, alongside rice dishes and seasonal offerings.
The experience extends beyond the plate. Tamba by Junsei, the venue’s vinyl-led listening bar, transitions from a tea room by day into an intimate evening space where music, atmosphere, and dining unfold in harmony. The 50-seat interior blends natural materials with understated design, anchored by the open grill and the warm hum of vinyl. In a neighbourhood quietly evolving, Junsei brings a thoughtful addition to Sanur’s dining scene – where craft, culture, and a slower, more deliberate pace come together with ease.
Open Tue-Thu from 5 PM to 11 PM and Fri-Sun from 11 AM to 11 PM.

Fuglen Bali
New café-by-day, bar-by-night in Pererenan
Fuglen, the internationally renowned coffee brand from Oslo, has officially opened its Bali outpost in Pererenan, introducing its signature café-by-day, bar-by-night concept to the island’s southwest coast.
Known for its Nordic approach to light roasting and timeless mid-century design aesthetic, Fuglen Bali’s arrival marks its second location in Indonesia and a natural continuation of its presence across Asia. Since expanding beyond Norway with its Tokyo opening in 2012, Fuglen has brought its distinct coffee philosophy to global audiences. In Bali, the concept finds a fitting home – where an international community and a slower pace of life align seamlessly with the brand’s ethos.
By day, the space focuses on precision-brewed, light-roast coffee, highlighting clean, fruit-forward profiles through a meticulous hot-air roasting process. As evening sets in, the venue transitions into an intimate bar, offering a curated selection of classic and signature cocktails. The interior reflects Fuglen’s signature identity, with vintage Norwegian mid-century furnishings sourced from across Europe and Japan. Warm wood tones and natural textures create an open, inviting environment that connects effortlessly with its surroundings.
With a continued commitment to quality, traceability, and craftsmanship, Fuglen Bali offers more than a café or bar – it presents a refined yet relaxed lifestyle experience, where coffee, design, and culture come together in thoughtful harmony.
Open daily from 7 AM until 11 PM (Mon-Wed) and until 12 AM (Thu-Sun). Cocktails start at 5 PM onwards.

Mata Berawa
New multi-concept lifestyle compound in Berawa
Berawa welcomes a new multi-concept lifestyle compound with the opening of Mata Berawa, adding another layer of excitement to one of Bali’s most dynamic neighbourhoods for culinary, nightlife, and contemporary culture.
Founded by award-winning Indonesian musician and public figure Marcello Tahitoe, Mata is an extension of his personal taste and evolving journey, interpreted into a shared space where guests are invited to slow down, explore, and reconnect through food, music, and everyday rituals.
Defining the establishment is three core elements: Mata, the compound itself; Paisley, a character-driven bar; and Live by Chance, a curated retail space. Together, they form a single ecosystem where experience, ambience, and community naturally intersect.
Not only does Mata refer to the compound, but it also encompasses the restaurant within, which serves as the starting point for the overall experience. Mata implements a grounded approach to dining, inspired by Indonesian culinary traditions alongside an array of international dishes. Here, guests can select a daily rotating selection of Indonesian dishes displayed on the showcase – a concept inspired by the traditional warteg – a simple and intuitive way of dining, reconceptualised through a modern lens.
The establishment features a spacious indoor dining space, alongside an outdoor area dubbed ‘the backyard’. Meanwhile, Paisley lies inside the centre of the space, a bar envisioned as a hub to ease into the evening for casual drinks and fine tunes personally curated by Marcello. Live by Chance completes the experience with its retail space located by the entrance, showcasing a mix of local and international brands.

Seta Coffee Library
Micro-roastery and café in Ubud
This charming coffee-focused destination brings beans and books together in Bali’s cultural capital. Seta Coffee Library welcomes drinkers and readers into a homey café setting, situated on Jl. Raya Pengosken, central Ubud.
Seta Coffee comes as a collaboration between Indonesian architect, Jafni Zul Fahmi, and Australian coffee maestro, Aidan Broderick. Their first project was Seta Coffee Studio – which opened in January 2025 – an intimate café in Sanur, small but full of character. This was designed as destination for coffee connoisseurs, serving beans only available in store, roasting tiny batches of Bali-grown coffee that promise unique flavours and top quality. This was complemented by the venue’s rustic design, a space envisioned by co-founder Jafni Zul Fahmi, as ‘an artistic gift to the neighbourhood,’ with a blend of Japanese and Indonesian styles.
Now the brand opens its doors in Ubud, with a new vision, one inspired by the co-founders stumbling upon a large collection of rare books. Thus, the idea to create Seta Coffee Library was born. In this new space, Jafni Zul Fahmi expands upon this library concept, creating a cosy setting designed not only as a new home for this treasured literary collection, but also as a destination for reading and slow living.
Complementing the space are of course the coffee offerings which celebrate purity, freshness, and the natural character of Indonesian coffee – roasted and brewed with patience and perfection, and made to enjoy in the same way.
A café menu serving light bites and counter of cakes and goodies tempts those who wish to graze as they enjoy the space peacefully, with art displays and a library of books to explore when they aren’t sipping or snacking. The café’s Indonesian-focused offerings, from design to drinks, makes it at home in the heart of Ubud.
Open from 7am to 10pm.
