10 Must see Instagrammable Cafes / Restaurants in Bali
Nowadays, we travel because we want to explore and discover new things. Whether it be learning a new language or learning about a country’s history, travelling allows us to learn so many different things. We learn so much from the different cultures around the world. Not only do we become open-minded but we also become aware how our lives are all intertwined and how we affect each other’s lives. Travelling isn’t only for fun but it’s also a learning process.
As a blogger and photographer, I always seek the beauty in everything. This is my third time going to Bali, Indonesia and I just realized that I already visited a lot of cafés and restaurants here, mostly around Seminyak, Canggu and Ubud.
Majority of the restaurants that I visited have pastel-colored themes and a ton of wall art with chill music vibes. Some of the places have an outdoor pool which makes the place have a very Bali vibe. All the dishes that they serve are seriously so delicious. Some are a bit on the pricey side but some are relatively cheap but I can assure you that your taste buds will surely be happy!
So for the main content of this post, I’m gonna share with you my list of highly recommended instagrammable cafes/restaurants here in Bali, Indonesia!
- Watercress Cafe
From the creative purveyors of The Good Food Brotherhood, the story starts with two longtime friends Pablo Fourcard and Jordie Strybos growing up together in Byron Bay and each collecting their own rewarding experiences in food and life. Dreaming of bringing Australian cafe style and sharing their love for good food and healthy eating, they created Watercress. Ingredients are chosen with utmost care, sustainably sourced and everything in the kitchen made with a lot of love.
