The best brunch in Bali and Jakarta looks different depending on which island you are on – and that contrast is precisely the point. In Bali, tables face sea and sky, the day shaped by light and open air rather than any fixed schedule. In Jakarta, brunch rises above the city’s constant motion into dining rooms where sequence is deliberate, detail is exacting, and the skyline does the work the ocean does elsewhere.
Finding the best brunch in Bali and Jakarta in 2026 means navigating two very different cities with one shared instinct: that brunch has stopped being a pause between meals and become the main event. From beachfront seafood feasts in Seminyak to Champagne lunches above Jakarta’s skyline, we have eaten our way through both cities to bring you 13 tables making the strongest case for it – ranked within each destination from luxury to laid-back.
Bali edition
Bali’s strongest tables share one quality: the setting always earns its place alongside the food. Whether that means a white dining room above Nusa Dua or an open cliff edge above the Indian Ocean, the best brunch in Bali refuses to separate the two. For more on where to eat across the island, see our guide to the best restaurants in Bali.
Best luxury brunch in Bali: The Astor Brunch at Kayuputi – The St. Regis Bali Resort
There are brunches built on abundance, and then there is Kayuputi – built on orchestration. The Astor Brunch begins before you reach the table: aperitifs are served at the Kayuputi Bar while Nusa Dua’s coastline unfolds beneath you, and the meal is already taking shape before a single course arrives.
What follows is not a buffet. It is a carefully paced à la carte progression through Pan-Asian haute cuisine, each plate calibrated for clarity over excess. A complimentary amuse-bouche of caviar and oyster arrives alongside Champagne – refined, exacting, quietly luxurious. Sashimi, lobster, Wagyu, foie gras, and truffle dumplings move through in composed succession, while the mushroom cappuccino – a dish that could easily feel overwrought – lands with unexpected restraint.
Kayuputi is all white: white linens, white stone, white light reflected off the Indian Ocean through floor-to-ceiling windows. A towering wine cellar anchors one wall. The room is formal without closing you off from the view; service is present and precise without interrupting the table’s rhythm. The Astor Chocolate Soufflé closes with something earned rather than performative.
Must Try: Caviar & Oyster Amuse-Bouche, Sashimi Selection, Lobster, Wagyu Beef, Mushroom Cappuccino, Astor Chocolate Soufflé, Champagne Pairing.
Price: From IDR 1,650,000 net per person
When: Sunday, 11am-3pm
epicure recommends: Arrive at 11am for pre-brunch aperitifs at the bar before moving into the dining room. The bar sets the tone for everything that follows — it is not a step to skip.

Best buffet brunch in Bali: Sunday Brunch at Cucina – Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort
What distinguishes Cucina from the standard luxury buffet is not its breadth – it is the system beneath it. The room unfolds through a network of culinary ateliers: Italian, French, Spanish, Asian, each operating with individual logic while feeding into a single continuous flow. You move through logically, one plate informing the next, the scale never feeling like a burden.
The setting runs open and airy, the dining room bleeding into garden and poolside terraces with natural light that makes everything on the plate look as good as it tastes. Oysters and chilled seafood open proceedings with brine and precision. Live pasta stations and open kitchens build warmth from there. The Italian kitchen anchors the room: gnocchi al gorgonzola delivers richness tempered by discipline; the frutti di mare pizza arrives focused and deliberately light. Even dessert – which can unravel a brunch at this scale – holds composure.
The Seaside Delight extension shifts the mood entirely, trading the dining room for cocktails and sea air. It feels as natural as the light changing over Nusa Dua.
Must Try: Spigola alla Marinara, Frutti di Mare Pizza, Gnocchi al Gorgonzola, Fresh Oysters, Seasonal Gelato.
Price: From IDR 888,000++ per person
When: Sunday, 11am-3pm
epicure recommends: For the best table in the house, opt for the terrace-side for the meal, then outdoors for the Seaside Delight close – that shift changes the register of the whole sitting.

Best Mediterranean brunch in Bali: Sunday Brunch at Oliverra – Umana Bali, LXR Hotels & Resorts
There is a moment at Oliverra when you stop cataloguing the food and simply take in where you are. Set along Ungasan’s limestone cliffs, the restaurant moves between dining room, bar, and open-air veranda – each space shifting the mood as naturally as the changing light. The veranda has no business being this beautiful: a wide stone ledge suspended above the Indian Ocean, horizon unbroken in every direction.
The menu draws from Southern Europe and the Levant without defaulting to familiarity. Hokkaido scallop carpaccio arrives sharpened with citrus and mandarin; yellowfin tartare is paired with cured watermelon and ajoblanco – a combination that shouldn’t work but lands cleanly. The Josper grill, fuelled by locally sourced coffee wood charcoal, brings a particular kind of smoke to wood-fired octopus, Australian striploin, and seafood finished directly over flame – present without being intrusive.
Jazz plays. Courses arrive gradually. Cocktails lean Mediterranean: spritzes, citrus-forward mixes, wines from Italy, Spain, and France. By late afternoon, the day has stopped feeling like a scheduled event and started feeling like a long coastal lunch somewhere along the Riviera.
Must Try: Hokkaido Scallop Carpaccio, Marinated Yellowfin Tartare, Wood-Fired Octopus, Flamed Australian Striploin, Mediterranean Spritzes.
Price: From IDR 850,000++ per person | Beverage pairing from IDR 650,000++
When: Sunday, 11am-3pm
epicure recommends: Go for the view, stay for the Josper grill – the coffee wood charcoal smoke is unlike anything else on the Bukit peninsula.
Bali’s most iconic Sunday brunch: Starfish Bloo – W Bali Seminyak
Ask anyone for the best brunch in Bali and Starfish Bloo comes up before the conversation ends. It has held its place as the island’s most iconic Sunday sitting not through reinvention but through consistency – and through a setting that does most of the heavy lifting before the food arrives.
The restaurant sits directly on Petitenget beach, fully open-air, the Indian Ocean at arm’s length and the W Bali Seminyak’s pool stretching between you and the surf. The mood on a Sunday is immediately distinct from any hotel dining room: louder, more social, more alive. Live entertainment runs through the session and the energy builds rather than plateaus.
The “W Does Brunch” buffet is anchored by a serious seafood-on-ice station – tiger prawns, local oysters, Papua crabs, half-moon scallops, asari clams, and black mussels – with cocktail sauce, chili ponzu, and nam jim alongside. Pass-around crispy oysters with spice crumbs and sriracha aioli set the tone on arrival. A farmhouse charcuterie and cheese spread – salami Milano, chorizo diablo, beef pastrami, Bali blue, manchego, camembert, goat cheese – anchors the cold section with grissini and marinated olives. A live ramen station runs miso and tantanmen with a full condiment spread. Ceviche bar, an Asian rujak and pumpkin balado salad corner, a vegan station, and martabak add range without clutter.
Desserts land with Bali flair: mango-passion sorbet pavlova, hojicha-soaked tiramisu with black sesame praline, coconut-yogurt frozen bowls. The cocktail list – refreshing, citrus-forward, cheerfully unserious – is built for the light out here.
Must Try: Seafood on Ice (Papua Crabs, Tiger Prawns, Local Oysters), Pass-Around Crispy Oysters, Farmhouse Charcuterie Board, Live Ramen Station, Exotic Pavlova.
Price: From IDR 770,000++ (food + non-alcoholic) | IDR 1,470,000++ (with alcohol) | IDR 2,470,000++ (with Champagne)
When: Sunday, 12pm-3.30pm
epicure recommends: Don’t leave without trying the Papua crabs from the seafood-on-ice station – sweet, fresh, and the clearest argument for why the seafood here sets the standard in Seminyak.

Fire, salt, and intention: Otsumami Saturday Brunch at Waatu – The Ungasan Clifftop Resort
At Waatu, brunch moves away from sequence entirely. The Otsumami concept centres on shareable plates designed to circulate, overlap, and return – encouraging conversation over any fixed progression. Waatu is perched along Ungasan’s cliff ridge, open on three sides, with a view that drops to the ocean below. The timber and stone interiors carry enough warmth to keep the clifftop exposure from feeling unsettling – you feel the height, but comfortably.
The menu moves between precision and fire. Sashimi is clean and sharply cut; prawn toast arrives with textural exactness. Then the robata takes over: miso meatball yakitori brings smoke, lobster tail adds richness, and the Katsuri cocktail – the house signature – threads botanicals through every plate alongside it.
Must Try: Prawn Toast, Miso Meatball Yakitori, Lobster Tail, Katsuri Cocktail.
Price: From IDR 850,000++ per person
When: Saturday, 12pm-4pm
epicure recommends: Opt for the later seating – as Ungasan catches the golden hour, the robata smoke and coastal light converge into something that feels less like lunch and more like a very good Saturday.
Clifftop indulgence, without apology: Sunday Brunch at Botol Biru Grill – Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort
Botol Biru makes no attempt to hedge its flavours. Tuna tataki arrives lifted with sambal matah – sharp, direct. Beef rendang is reinterpreted as ravioli without losing its richness. Grilled barramundi carries a precise smoky finish. This is Balinese vocabulary used confidently, with nothing softened for a broader audience.
The restaurant spills from a main dining room onto a terrace flowing into the pool, with the Uluwatu cliffs dropping to the ocean below and the limestone headland framing the horizon on both sides. The atmosphere is shaped more by terrain and company than by any deliberate structure. Desserts bring a softer close, but the energy – bright, expansive, social – holds through to the last table.
Must Try: Tuna Tataki with Sambal Matah, Beef Rendang Ravioli, Grilled Barramundi.
Price: IDR 777,000++ per person
When: Sunday, 11am-3pm
epicure recommends: Perfect for groups – pool access and the open terrace mean the sitting extends as far as the company does.

Best family brunch in Bali: Monthly Sunday Brunch at Prego – The Westin Resort Nusa Dua
Prego earns its standing the honest way: good Italian cooking, a family-welcoming room, and a format designed for the whole table rather than just its most discerning guest. The open-concept kitchen gives the space transparency and energy – pasta being made in view, pizzas coming off stone, the grill running with purpose.
The 2026 calendar assigns each monthly edition its own theme – from January’s Bianco Brunch through festive year-end gatherings – so the menu shifts without losing its core. Handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza, antipasti, and grilled specialties rotate with the season. Pass-around canapés keep the table occupied between courses; oysters arrive in buckets; a charcuterie board settles at the centre and stays. Pool and beach access opens the session beyond the meal, and the recreation area keeps younger guests occupied enough that the adults remain at the table at their own pace.
Must Try: Wood-Fired Pizza, Handmade Pasta, Oysters, Charcuterie Board, Signature Italian Desserts.
Price: From IDR 690,000++ per adult | IDR 345,000++ per child (includes selected non-alcoholic beverages)
When: Monthly, last Sunday of each month, from 11am
epicure recommends: Check the monthly theme before booking – some editions include dedicated menus and activations that make the difference between a pleasant Sunday and one worth returning for.

Jakarta Edition
While Bali delivers the Indian Ocean as backdrop, the best brunch in Jakarta operates on different terms. Here the dining room earns its place through precision, scale, and the particular pleasure of watching the city hold still for a few hours. For a full guide to Jakarta’s dining scene, see our Jakarta restaurant round-up.
Theatre and rotation: Weekend Brunch at Bel Étage – The St. Regis Jakarta
When it comes to the best brunch in Jakarta 2026, Bel Étage earns its position through theatre as much as cuisine. OP Ribs, Beef Wellington, and salt-baked fish arrive tableside, each one a production that justifies the delivery rather than performing for its own sake.
The room is The St. Regis at its most assured: high ceilings, deep banquettes, warm neutrals that feel simultaneously grand and liveable. Saturdays bring handcrafted Italian sodas and elevated mocktails alongside the main spread; Sundays introduce a seasonal Juice Bar. The Signature Cheese Room runs all weekend – a curated selection that rewards proper time with it. For guests with children, The Residences hosts activities, leaving the main table genuinely undisturbed.
The rotating menu is what separates Bel Étage from its peers. Dishes shift weekly, which rewards regulars and ensures this never calcifies into routine.
Must Try: OP Ribs (tableside), Beef Wellington, Salt-Baked Fish, Signature Cheese Room, Seasonal Juice Bar (Sundays).
Price: IDR 888,000++ (Wind Down) | IDR 1,750,000++ (Stay Longer) | IDR 2,050,000++ (Never Enough)
When: Saturday & Sunday – confirm current seating times on booking
epicure recommends: The “Stay Longer” tier is worth the difference – it gives you the cheese room, tableside theatre, and the wine vault explored at a proper pace rather than rushed before the close.

Jakarta at full volume: Sunday Brunch at Signatures – Hotel Indonesia Kempinski Jakarta
Signatures is Jakarta at full volume – layered, expansive, and assured in a way only a dining room of this legacy can sustain. High ceilings, polished surfaces, purposeful movement across the floor: the room signals intent before a single plate arrives.
The spread is extensive but anchored. Alaskan king crab and freshly shucked oysters sit alongside sushi, sashimi, and a prime rib carving station. The Paulaner corner – German specialties in the middle of Jakarta’s grandest Sunday spread – earns its place within the broader logic of the room. The Indonesian section is the truest measure of what Signatures does: rendang, soto, and grilled seafood that hold equal weight with everything else, not supporting roles. Klepon and bubur sumsum close the meal with grounded, familiar sweetness.
This is organised abundance – and in Jakarta, that is harder to achieve than it sounds.
Must Try: Alaskan King Crab, Prime Rib, Rendang, Soto, Paulaner Specialties, Klepon.
Price: IDR 868,000++ per adult
When: Sunday, 12.30pm-3.30pm
epicure recommends: Go straight to the seafood before anything else – the king crab and oysters move quickly, and they set the standard for the meal that follows.

Measured and elevated: Sunday Brunch at The Park – Park Hyatt Jakarta
The Park operates at a register most Jakarta brunches don’t attempt: quiet confidence. The room reads more residential than formal – soft seating, warm tones, natural light filtered through expansive city-facing windows. Jakarta is visible below, but muffled. What remains inside is deliberate and calm.
Lobster and oysters are served tableside rather than left on a station – a detail that signals the kitchen’s intent. Fresh pasta comes from a live station working with focus, not spectacle. Dry-aged beef is precisely executed. A Cheese & Honey Corner rewards patience, and the Affogato Trolley that closes the meal is one of the more quietly satisfying flourishes in Jakarta’s brunch dining landscape.
Nothing rushes. Nothing performs. The Park understands that a well-held silence carries as much weight as any dish.
Must Try: Lobster & Oysters Served Tableside, Fresh Pasta from the Live Station, Dry-Aged Beef, Cheese & Honey Corner, Affogato Trolley.
Price: From IDR 888,000++ per person
When: Sunday, 12pm–3pm
epicure recommends: The best table in the house: window-side – the filtered city light and skyline panorama carry this well beyond what any buffet station can.

Refinement without noise: Fine Brunch at Arts Café – Raffles Jakarta
Arts Café brings Raffles’ composure to the brunch format and means it. Hendra Gunawan’s vivid murals frame the room – colour and movement on every wall – while open kitchens operate with near-theatrical precision alongside them. The combination is culturally grounded and visually alive without ever tipping into spectacle.
The Fine Brunch moves between buffet and show kitchen: foie gras, premium beef cuts, and Indonesian-inspired plates land at the table throughout the meal, making it feel paced rather than excessive. Seafood on ice – oysters, sashimi, lobster, crab – runs as a constant. The Raffles Patisserie is what gives Arts Café its particular gravity: meticulous viennoiserie, jewel-like petit gâteaux, artisanal chocolates, and Indonesian-inflected sweets that feel considered rather than ornamental.
Must Try: Seafood on Ice, Foie Gras from the Show Kitchen, Premium Beef Cuts, Viennoiserie Selection, Indonesian-Inspired Petit Gâteaux.
Price: From IDR 758,000++ per person
When: Sunday, 12pm-3pm
epicure recommends: Begin at the Raffles Patisserie before the show kitchen – the contrast between pastry precision and kitchen theatre defines the full arc of the meal.

Best Indonesian brunch in Jakarta: Kayu Manis – Hotel Tentrem Jakarta
Jakarta’s luxury brunch circuit defaults to European. Kayu Manis at Hotel Tentrem makes the quiet counter-argument: that Indonesian flavour, given the right setting and execution, needs no qualification.
The restaurant carries Hotel Tentrem’s Javanese-inflected aesthetic – warm timber, batik-touched details, a calm that feels structural rather than imposed. The spread covers the archipelago: Kambing Guling slow-roasted until it yields without effort, Konro Bakar carrying deep spice and smoke, carved lamb with regional sambals and accompaniments sourced in part from traditional vendors across the islands. A live station keeps the kitchen visible. A local snack corner – kue-kue, jajan pasar — closes the meal with recognition rather than fanfare.
Must Try: Kambing Guling, Konro Bakar, Carved Lamb, Regional Sambals, Local Snack Station.
Price: Contact the venue for current pricing
When: Sunday, 12pm-3pm
epicure recommends: Perfect for guests who want Indonesian cuisine centred and elevated, not tucked into a corner of a continental spread.

Best rooftop brunch in Jakarta: UNA A Bar Above – Pullman Jakarta Indonesia
Not every Jakarta brunch needs to be a temple of precision. UNA A Bar Above makes the case for something different: stylish, relaxed, and clear about what it is. On the 15th floor of Pullman Jakarta Indonesia in Thamrin, the terrace opens directly above Bundaran HI with the city skyline uninterrupted in every direction. In clear morning light, it is genuinely cinematic.
The Sunday Skyline format is leaner than the multi-station spreads elsewhere on this list – contemporary sharing plates, well-made cocktails, and a room where the atmosphere does as much work as the kitchen. The energy is social without being loud. UNA sits in the casual tier of this list by design, not default.
Must Try: Signature Rooftop Cocktails, Contemporary Weekend Sharing Plates, the View of Bundaran HI at Midday.
Price: Contact venue for current Sunday Skyline pricing
When: Sunday — confirm current hours directly with the venue
epicure recommends: Go for the view, stay for the cocktails – UNA’s mixology programme is the strongest argument for rooftop over dining room on a clear Jakarta Sunday.
