Bartolo is a lovely neighbourhood bistro in Uluwatu, serving French–Italian–inspired cooking alongside an excellent wine and cocktail list. Having previously eaten at their sister venue Lulu Bistrot in Canggu (which was outstanding), my expectations were understandably high. We started with the marinated octopus salad with Provençale dressing. While it sounded promising and certainly had flavour, it was ultimately a little underwhelming as a dish. In contrast, the sourdough bread with dipping oil was exceptional — easily a highlight and beautifully executed. For mains, the market fish cooked en papillote with sauce amandine (barramundi) was delicious and perfectly cooked — fragrant, moist, and bursting with flavour. The accompanying creamed potatoes, however, lacked seasoning and didn’t quite live up to the standard of the fish. Cocktails and wine were a strong point. The Cascara Negroni was excellent, and the NV Louis Perdrier Brut Excellence was crisp, dry, and very enjoyable. The venue itself is charming and relaxed, though dining outdoors in the Balinese heat can be challenging at times. Service was excellent — warm, attentive, and pitched at exactly the right level. Overall, a very enjoyable experience with some standout elements and a few areas that could be refined. Worth visiting, particularly for the fish, cocktails, and atmosphere.

We had dinner at the restaurant and everything was absolutely delicious. The food was excellent from start to finish. With the salad, my girlfriend felt there was a bit too much oil, so she politely asked if something could be done. The staff immediately prepared a new salad with less oil, which we truly appreciated. It was a very thoughtful and professional gesture. On my side, I had the gambas with lime and they were incredible. The flavors were perfectly balanced and it honestly became my favorite dish of the evening. The cocktails were also very good, well prepared and enjoyable. The staff was attentive, kind, and genuinely focused on making sure we had a great experience, especially by taking my girlfriend’s request seriously. We left very happy and satisfied, and we definitely recommend this place if you are looking for great food and a lively atmosphere. The only small downside is that the restaurant has become very trendy and buzzy, so there is quite a lot of traffic and noise. If you are looking for a very calm and quiet place, this might not be the best option. Otherwise, it’s a fantastic spot where you can eat extremely well, and the gambas with lime are an absolute must.

We had a beautiful meal on Christmas Day at Bartolo. The food was phenomenal and the service was great too. We had the pleasure of being served mostly by Renita and she was so friendly and professional. Nothing was too much effort.

High quality food thats extremely delicious and cooked perfectly. This restaurant was my most anticipated since coming to Bali as I love both French and Italian food. Fully lived up to my expectations!
