You’d be forgiven for thinking this is a restaurant in one of the world’s best foodie cities, such is the expertise of the waitstaff, the precision of the presentation, and the quality of the French cuisine. But Lulu Bistrot, in the heart of surf-centric Canggu, also has the benefits of its locale—no big-city waiting lists, not a smidge of pretension, and plenty of fuss but in a warm <a href="https://destinasian.com/travel-guide/indonesia/bali" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bali</a> way that welcomes all who enter. With parquet floors and a wall of French wine, the interior riffs off the tradition of Paris’s grand cafés with a menu and service that is genuinely bistro-style.
Take a seat at the Lulu Bistrot kitchen counter where head chef Austin Milana shows off, quite rightly, with a set menu including oysters with steak tartare (served on a delicate scallop-shell ceramic plate) and melty herb butter–topped entrecôte wagyu ribeye (cut with a Laguiole steak knife). Dipping into the regular menu for a portion of chicken liver pâté with a side of pickled shallots is unnecessary but entirely worthwhile. —Penny Watson
