Luma Bali's sunny outdoor seating; appetizers from the menu

Seasoned chefs Cameron Emirali of London’s 10 Greek Street and Kieran Moorland—known for mod-Indonesian venues Sangsaka and Merah Putih in Seminyak—take turns heading the kitchen at <a href="https://www.lumabali.com/?destinasian">Luma</a>, a converted villa on the main strip in Batu Bolong. Expect an ever-changing menu of Mediterranean-inspired fare that harnesses local and seasonal ingredients, be it batik lobster or foraged fern tips. (A nose-to-tail philosophy applies to beef and lamb, the only imported foodstuffs.) Arancini and decadent pizzetta are staples, and seafood options might include meaty tiger prawns with chickpeas and mojo verde or coral trout fillet, potatoes, and meltingly soft peperonata. Save room for dessert: Flores honey sings in the panna cotta with nutmeg fruit crumble, while the raspberry and kenari nut tart is a crowd-pleaser. Luma also boasts a noteworthy list of fine wines such as Sub Flore Falanghina from southern Italy’s Campania region and Spanish Remelliri Rioja. Most of these can be ordered by the glass; have a sip before your meal on the street-side terrace or the alfresco sunken lounge in what was once the villa’s back garden. —James Louie
