Famous for its beautiful beaches and rich culture, Bali is also becoming a foodie paradise. In 2025, the island welcomed several new venues that are taking the local dining scene to the next level.

Enclave Bistro & Lounge

Enclave Bistro & Lounge, which opened in late December 2024 on Jalan Hanoman in Ubud, has quickly gained popularity among locals and tourists alike. This place combines Eastern and Western cuisine, offering dishes like penne with pistachios and moringa or fettuccine with tuna and sambal matah. Lobster gratin and Angus burger are also on the menu. There is live music every evening, creating a pleasant atmosphere for an evening out.
