Barbacoa

A must-go venue for steaks in Bali! ​We simply cannot fault this place. Barbacoa delivers a fantastic dining experience with a nice romantic setting, impeccable service, and delicious drinks. ​The food truly speaks for itself. If you are looking for top-tier quality and flavour, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

🥂 Great atmosphere and food! We had a fantastic dinner, and a big part of that was thanks to the lovely service and recommendations from Cintia (I hope I’m spelling her name right), our waitress for the evening. 🙌 I 100% recommend this place. In my personal opinion, the food is a solid 10/10.🔥 Just a small suggestion: I think the restaurant could use a bit more lighting. I couldn’t clearly see what I was eating and as a couple who loves to enjoy both the look and taste of our food, it made a difference. 😄 I had to use flash for the photos. That said, I’d come back without a doubt ✌️

Barbacoa delivers on every level, from the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, setting the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. Every dish we tried was a hit, full of bold flavours and beautifully presented. The menu feels both creative and approachable, making it easy to share and enjoy. Service was tremendous, warm, attentive, and perfectly timed, adding to the overall experience without ever feeling rushed. A must-visit in Bali for anyone who loves great food, excellent cocktails, and genuine hospitality.

We had a family meal and all had a steak option which was the best meal we've had in Bali . We've been so disappointed so far .But the food this place gave us hope . The service by the staff was excellent ,we had no complaints at all .They were very kind and attentive. The steak meals with a side of Spanish potatoes were great and mocktails. We were all on a high when eating as we finally found somewhere great to eat . All 4 of us was commenting how our food was cooked to perfection.

A gorgeous restaurant with dimmed lighting. The food is delicious, lamb birria tacos goodness! Drinks are good of course the staff are super friendly. Great for couples or groups of friends.

What an awesome restaurant with amazing service! The waitress was so warm and welcoming—super attentive and engaging throughout our meal. It was our first visit, and we were surprised to see the place completely packed (and we were the only Asians dining there). Felt like we weren’t even in Bali! We ordered most of the house favorites, and these were the standouts I’d totally recommend: - Woodfired Sourdough Bread (50K) – Just bread, but how is it this good? With roasted garlic, chili oil, olive oil, and balsamic made it the perfect starter - Beef Tartare (110K) – Silky and flavorful, no weird smell at all. Seasoning was on point, and everything worked together perfectly - Half Charcoal Chicken (190K) – One of the best mains! Flavorful, juicy, and cooked just right. The pickled green tomatoes added a sweet, tangy kick that elevated the dish - Pure Black Rib Fillet (590K) – Australian Black Angus, 300g of pure perfection. Medium-rare and super juicy, topped with a chimichurri butter that was next level! Don’t miss the Spanish-style potatoes with aioli (50K) and roasted pumpkin on the side—best pumpkin ever! Also worth ordering: - Crispy Chicken Wings (65K) – Sweet, savory, and nicely crisp - Croquetas with Pulled Pork (55K) – Creamy, packed with flavor - Baby Calamari Skewers (95K) – Tender and nicely grilled, with mint salsa and lime giving it a bright finish - Yellowfin Tuna Tartare (70K) – Fresh and well-balanced. The smoked yucca crema added a subtle sweetness and smoky touch. - Char-grilled King Prawns (180K for 4 pcs) – Tasty but a bit on the pricier side - Nitro Sundae (80K) – A fun, theatrical dessert with dulce de leche ice cream, chocolate fudge, and nitro coconut cream. Sweet and indulgent! Some other dishes didn’t leave much of an impression, but overall, everything was well-prepared and quick to serve. Portions are meant for sharing (around 3–4 people per dish), so if you come with a big group, it’s best to double up on orders. The space is absolutely stunning—especially at night—and the food quality, speed, and service make the slightly higher prices (targeting Western diners) totally worth it. No complaints at all—will definitely come back!

We stopped by on a Thursday night and were able to get a small table for two in spite of not having reservations, which I highly recommend you book one because the place was hoppin’! The food was an absolute pleasure to partake of. We opted to order a number of the small plates, the octopus entree, corn and kabocha squash. All were perfectly cooked, seasoned with delightful an accompaniments of salsas, sauces and textures—complimenting the main protein or vegetable but still allowing their natural flavors to shine through. We are from SoCal so we know our Mexican food and this was a fun interpretation of Latin fusion cuisine. The tacos and tostada were flavorful and yet not too spicy. The octopus and calamari were perfectly tender and not overcooked. Only the charred corn was somewhat underwhelming and under seasoned and could have used a little more cotija, some cilantro or tajín. The service was attentive but not too overbearing. It is quite a dimly lit establishment so the wait staff will provide book lights to assist you with reading the menu as well as insect repellent should you opt for patio dining. The pre-set prefixe menu was a so tempting but we wanted to choose lighter dishes and left perfectly satiated without any guilt. A number of other patrons celebrated their birthdays here that night and the staff did a fun rendition of the happy birthday song. We mentioned it was our anniversary and there wasn’t a song but a small candle and well wishes at the end. Had hoped there’d be a scoop of ice cream or a comp’d dessert or something but oh well!

Such a nice place to celebrate a special occasion or just a nice dinner out. It is on the pricier side but worth every dollar. We had tried a few dishes and our favourite was definitely the grilled squid. I also loved their spicy margarita! Our waiter Putu was very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend.
