Seminyak is one of the most popular beach resorts in Bali and it is bursting with nice restaurants and bars. At Seminyak beach you will find several nice beach clubs and in the lively center of Seminyak you will discover the nicest breakfast, lunch and dinner restaurants. Although Indonesian cuisine is one of the tastiest in the world, sometimes it can be nice to try something different while traveling, like a delicious pizza or another international favorite. Wondering which hotspots you can't miss? We share the best international hotspots in Seminyak.
1. La Plancha Seminyak Beach
For a nice day at a beach bar on Seminyak Beach, we recommend La Plancha to. This colorful beach club will make you instantly happy when you arrive! The eye-catching umbrellas and beanbags create a cozy bohemian atmosphere. From La Plancha you can walk straight to the sea. You can also go to La Plancha (both in the restaurant and on the beach) for a delicious snack and drink, such as local dishes, pizzas, burgers, fresh coconuts and tasty smoothies.
Address La Plancha Bali: Jalan Mesari Beach, Seminyak, Kec. Kuta, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361
2. La Baracca (hotspot in multiple locations in Bali).
La Baracca is an Italian restaurant in Bali run by Italians. The pizzas and pastas are authentic and prepared with fresh ingredients. La Baracca's tiramisu is perhaps the most delicious in all of Bali!
You can find La Baracca in several locations in Bali: in Petitenget (Seminyak), Canggu, Ubud and Uluwatu. The interior of the La Baracca restaurants is simple but stylish. Recycled metals and reclaimed wood have been used. The rustic and quirky furniture gives the restaurants a warm and casual atmosphere.

3. Cafe Bali
A breakfast spot where we have eaten several times in Seminyak is Cafe Bali. Much attention has been paid to the decor and there is a homey and cozy atmosphere. There are several delicious dishes on the menu, such as avocado toast, fresh bowls and fresh juices. Besides breakfast, you can also have lunch and dinner there. It is a popular place for many Dutch people, because they serve bitterballen. We did not eat these, but we heard that they taste good!
Address Cafe Bali: Jalan Laksmana (Kayu Aya Seminyak Kuta, Kerobokan Kelod, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361
4. Mad Pops
Italian scoop ice cream is not something served in many places in Bali. Therefore, a really good gelato is best forgotten. Still looking for a good ice cream? Then Mad Pops highly recommended. This Instagrammable ice cream parlor serves coconut-based vegan ice cream. They also have water ice creams. You'll find all kinds of delicious, original ice cream flavors! Wonderfully refreshing during a hot day in Seminyak.

5. Monsieur Spoon (hotspot in multiple locations in Bali).
Monsieur Spoon is a family-run French bakery established by two Parisian cousins in 2012. This hot spot in Seminyak serves handmade French pastries, cakes, artisan breads, savory treats and seasonal fresh juices. It is an ideal spot for breakfast and for lunch. Tip: order the French butter croissant. This is a bestseller from Monsieur Spoon!
We went to lunch at Monsieur Spoon in Seminyak, but there are several things in Bali. So you can also find a Monsieur Spoon in Canggu, Petitenget, Umalas, Pererenan and in Ubud.
Address Monsieur Spoon Seminyak: Jl. Kayu Cendana no. 2B, Seminyak , Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali 86100
6. Instagram hot spot Seminyak: Kynd
Kynd is a true household name in Bali. This Instagrammable hotspot is a feast for the eyes. The bright pink restaurant is 100% plant-based and offers the tastiest bowls, juices, salads, pizzas and burgers. Kynd's mission is "spreading kyndness" and here they are only too happy to show how delicious vegan food can be.
Tip: be sure to order the açai bowl here! Besides being almost too pretty to eat, it is also incredibly delicious!

7. Wild Habit Pizza
For really good stone-oven pizza, fresh pasta and tasty cocktails, you're at Wild Habit to the right place. The dough of the pizzas is as you are used to in Italy. Exactly the way a Neapolitan pizza should taste! The ingredients are fresh and of high quality. Favorites were without a doubt the pizza with burrata and the lychee martini!

8. Motel Mexicola
For a fun night out in Seminyak, you should visit Motel Mexicola are. Here you will enjoy Mexican specialties, such as soft corn tortillas and tacos, fun music and the tastiest cocktails! Motel Mexicola's decor will make you feel like you're in Mexico, with neon signs and the old-fashioned charm of a Mexican cantina.

9. Bo & Bun
Do you fancy authentic and exotic flavors from Asia? Then we recommend the restaurant Bo & Bun arrive in Seminyak. When you step inside Bo & Bun, you imagine yourself a bit in a romantic French bistro, but the menu reveals something else!
The restaurant serves dishes from various Asian cuisines. The menu is strongly based on Vietnamese cuisine. Bo & Bun is therefore the address in Seminyak for delicious phô and bánh mì!
