Starfish Bloo, W Hotel

More is more is more at the W Hotel Bali’s Sunday brunch , where champagne pours freely and the beach cabanas are always filled with the city’s coolest cats. Variety is truly the spice of life at its restaurant Starfish Bloo , where you’ll be able to pile your plate high with truffle cheese toasties, dim sum, Indonesian staples and Sunday roast trimmings. The stunning beach-side setting is the cherry on top, so get there early to grab a seat with a view.

Sisterfields

Australians know a thing or two about brunch and this restaurant has rapidly boomed in popularity since bringing Aussie-style brekkie to Bali. It’s brunch time 24/7 at Sisterfields , where you’re likely to find Bali’s expat crowd fuelling up for the day ahead on all the classics: smoothie bowls, salted caramel-drizzled French toast, hangover-curing burgers and eggs benedict. Boasting a long list of fizzy and alcoholic drinks, the café also proudly supports Bali’s local businesses by sourcing many ingredients (including the coffee) locally.

Cire, Alila Uluwatu Bali

Lobster is the star of the show at Cire , Alila Uluwatu’s al fresco restaurant with an endless view of the horizon. Beyond the hotel’s famed Batik Lobster Thermidor (topped with gruyère cheese, cognac and a rich dollop of mustard), other dishes featuring the crimson crustacean are up for grabs, like lobster spring rolls and ravioli served on top of lobster bisque. Along with the live band, you can also enjoy free-flow cocktails and upgrade to a special Taittinger and Pol Roger champagne package for a truly memorable experience.The restaurant’s brunch-goers also score access to its cliffside infinity pool – provided you can roll yourself over there after the meal, that is.

Kynd

Looking for a vegetarian-friendly brunch? This ice cream-pink cafe looks just as good as its food tastes, with vegan-friendly options such as carbonara pizzas, konjac calamari bites and fried eggs on offer. Plant-based diets are fully at the forefront at Kynd , alongside a range of brunch cocktails including a show-stopping Bloody Mary made with celery-infused gin, mimosas and espresso martinis. With locations in both Canggu and Seminyak, its Instagram-worthy interiors and smoothie bowls are practically begging for an impromptu photoshoot.

Soleil, Mulia Bali

Sunday brunch is a classy affair at The Mulia’s beachfront restaurant Soleil , where seafood grill stations, a dedicated dessert buffet and free-flow mimosas set the tone. Situated on the tip of Nusa Dua Bay, expect a decadent brunch menu including foie gras, fresh sashimi and pan-Asian appetisers which go down oh-so-easily with a generous helping of their melt-in-your-mouth tiramisu. Whether you have parents in town or want to make a great impression on a date, this is the place to go for sophisticated elegance.

Sundara, The Four Seasons

This Four Seasons restaurant claims to host Bali’s longest brunch, running for a staggering six hours. Based in Jimbaran, Sundara takes cues from the region’s love of barbecue – accordingly, they smoke, grill and roast many of their signature dishes. It doesn’t get fresher than the seafood at Sundara, as everything’s sourced from the neighbourhood’s fish markets, while its 12-hour smoked barbecue short ribs are a true labour of love. This al fresco locale features live music, views over Jimbaran Bay and a kids’ club next door to keep young diners entertained.
