Dinner in Balangan, Bukit
The light turns at about six and the whole terrace turns with it. Then the chandelier and the lanterns take the room, the oven is at its hottest, and dinner is what the fire can do: lamb, aged and fermented beef, octopus, pizza from the stone. A wood-fire Mediterranean kitchen in Balangan, Bukit, between Jimbaran and Uluwatu, upstairs, with the breeze reaching you before it reaches the road. Come for the light at six, stay for the fire after it.
Dinner 14:00–22:00 · Mondays until 16:00
Come before sunset
Palms over the rail, a long line of ocean past the rooftops, and a glass of something cold while the sky does its work. Tables by the rail are worth booking.
Then the fire
Arabic-style lamb neck with marinated chickpeas and black banana cream, beef aged and fermented in the house, grilled octopus with burnt romano, duck breast with black apple. Pizza from the stone if the table wants it simple.
And the rest of the night
Malbec, shiraz, primitivo; a lavender valencia or an island mai tai; and a coconut truffle when nobody has room left.

Before you come up
Do you take reservations for dinner?
Yes, and for the rail tables it is worth it: the sunset seats go first. You can book from this page.
What time does dinner start?
Dinner runs from two in the afternoon until ten at night, Tuesday to Sunday. On Mondays the kitchen closes at four, so the evening menu is a short one that day.
Is there a separate dinner menu?
One menu runs the day, and from twelve all of it is served. In the evening the wood and fire section is the point of it, and the bar and wine list open up.
Is it far from Uluwatu?
Fifteen minutes to the temple, twelve to Padang Padang, ten across to Jimbaran bay. We are on the way to Balangan, upstairs.
