Vincent’s, Candidasa

Vincent’s is one of East Bali’s most enduring dining favourites, a charming bistro in Candidasa with a relaxed European feel and a welcoming, lived-in warmth. Set around a leafy courtyard, the restaurant blends easygoing island dining with touches of refinement, making it a go-to for both locals and long-time visitors.

The French-leaning menu is broad and comforting, offering everything from steaks and seafood to pastas and well-loved Indonesian classics. It’s the kind of place where you can come for a proper dinner or simply settle in at the long bar for a sunset drink. Their regular live jazz nights add to the atmosphere, giving the space a steady, unpretentious rhythm.

Dutch-owned and loved by regulars, Vincent’s strikes a balance between stylish and casual. If you’re exploring Candidasa and looking for something more refined than a beachside warung — without losing that friendly East Bali charm — this is the spot.

Tip: Visit on a jazz night for the best atmosphere and book in advance if you want a courtyard table.
