Bingin might be best known for its waves, but plenty is happening on land, too.
This once-sleepy surf village is now home to a growing mix of cafés, restaurants and bars. It’s becoming a favourite spot in Bali for wholesome reasons: good food, chilled beats, and an energy that makes you want to linger long after sunset.
Coffee, Smoothies & All-Day Brunch
Start your day at Nourish, which lives up to its name with hearty, healthy dishes and a laid-back garden vibe. It hits that sweet spot between wholesome and indulgent, from green juices to sourdough pizzas. Just down the road, The Collective, one of Bingin’s most stylish cafes. Part boutique, part eatery, it’s a favourite for slow breakfasts, strong coffee and a rotating menu of nourishing plates in a beautifully curated setting.
For something playful, Sayulita brings a splash of Mexico to Bingin with bright interiors, tacos, and margaritas served all day. It’s colourful, casual and always buzzing.
Dinner with a Difference
Bingin’s dinner scene comes alive, just without the fuss, when the sun starts to dip. La Kantina is one of the newest additions to the scene, offering wood-fired favourites and creative cocktails in a breezy, open-air setting. It’s the kind of place where dinner turns into drinks and the playlist gets better as the night rolls on.
For wholesome bites and a social atmosphere, The Cashew Tree is a Bingin institution. With its serene garden setting, vibrant community feel, and weekly live music, it’s a go-to for healthy plates that don’t skimp on flavour.
Just up the road, Ours brings Scandinavian-meets-Bali minimalism to the table. The interiors are chic, the lighting is soft, and the menu is all about elevated comfort food, crispy pork belly, zesty tuna tartare, and crowd-pleasing, dangerously good cocktails.
Sundowners & Parties
For beachfront vibes, Sea Gypsy nails it. Tucked close to the sand, it’s known for good tunes, friendly staff, and one of the best sunset cocktail spots in the area. It’s not trying to be a trend, and that makes it so easy to love.
If you’re chasing iconic views and a crowd that knows how to party, Single Fin is the OG. Perched above Uluwatu’s legendary surf break, its known for cold beer, chill vibes and live entertainment watching the waves below.
A little more luxe but no less lively, Ulu Cliffhouse brings day-to-night hedonism with world-class cocktails, a sparkling pool, and an unbeatable clifftop setting. Think curated beats, ocean views, and a crowd that came to stay awhile.
Then there’s El Kabron, an equal parts sunset spot and stylish soirée. With its Spanish-inspired bites, infinity pool, and front-row seats to the golden hour, it’s where you go when you want your evening to feel like a scene from a film.
Craving a cold one? Island Brewing brings Bali’s craft beer scene to Bingin with a clean, modern taproom and a solid lineup of locally brewed beers. It’s unpretentious, well-designed, and a great spot to wind down after a day in the sun.
Bingin’s dining scene is growing fast, but without losing its edge. From clifftop cocktails to casual tacos, this coastal enclave is putting itself on the culinary map while keeping things local, relaxed and just a little under the radar.
