Casual cafes to lunch in at Seminyak

Fancy a quick bite to eat with the kids, perhaps chillaxing over lunch with your best mates or going for a refuel after browsing the shops along Jalan Kayu Aya?

Following are some great cafes in Seminyak with a really casual vibe that you will absolutely love.

Updated by Steven Waldberg (one of the Bali Villa Escapes marketing team) on 23nd August 2022

There are so many new and amazing-looking cafes popping up all over Seminyak that it’s often hard to keep up to date with what’s happening. A casual stroll down the Jalan  Kayu Aya, also known as Eat St, will reveal a new start-up cafe or restaurant nearly every month. For the average tourist staying in Seminyak on holiday, you are really spoiled for choice. There are literally dozens of awesome-looking cafes (some hidden up little side lanes such as Revolver)  that serve delicious & affordable meals. You could spend a month here and still have not tried everything.

Monsieur Spoon

Hands down, Monsieur Spoon bakes the best croissant in Bali. Authentic French made with real butter and baked in the oven to perfection. It is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served with extremely yummy homemade jam – I love it! No wonder the croissants, bread and pastries are great at this cafe, the owners of Monsieur Spoon are French. Whether you are staying in Oberoi or Petitenget (or Ubud or Canggu), it really doesn’t matter, you will find this heavenly cafe and bakery everywhere. In Seminyak, there is a cozy Monsieur Spoon cafe across Seminyak Village and the other one on Petitenget Street features a lovely garden with rice paddy views. A great brunch spot!

Sisterfields

You would think you are in a cafe back home in Sydney or Melbourne. The interiors are ultra-contemporary and the food is amazing. This one has got to be the first on your lunchtime list. It’s just off the main Ea St road near Seminyak Square – you can’t miss it….look for the queues. Try the burgers with fries, they are absolutely delicious.
