A short drive inland, where the fire does the work.
If you are staying in Canggu and want a proper steak dinner, Uma Garden is just inland in Umalas, away from the busiest part of the coast. The kitchen cooks dry-aged beef, Australian wagyu, chateaubriand and Black Angus tomahawk over wood and charcoal, in an open garden setting.
For one of the best steaks near Canggu, it is worth the short drive to Umalas. Uma Garden is around fifteen minutes from Canggu, depending on traffic, with fire-cooked steaks, share plates, cocktails, parking on site and live music twice a week. Open daily from noon to midnight.
Canggu has plenty of cafés, casual restaurants and beach clubs. But when you want a steak cooked properly over fire, not rushed off a flat grill, it can be worth moving a little inland. Umalas gives you a quieter room, easier parking, and a slower dinner without feeling far from Canggu.
At Uma Garden, the grill runs on wood and charcoal. The point is simple: good beef, real heat, enough smoke to give character, and enough patience to let the steak rest before it reaches the table.
The chateaubriand is the most elegant cut: tender, lean, and usually carved for two. The wagyu striploin is richer, with marbling that softens into the meat as it cooks. The tomahawk is the one to order when the table wants something generous — a bone-in ribeye made for sharing.
If you are choosing between cuts, read our guides to wagyu steak in Bali, wagyu vs Angus, ribeye vs tenderloin, and tomahawk steak in Bali. You can also see the dinner menu.
Steak is the main reason many people come, but the table does not need to stop there. There are grilled scallops, seafood, vegetables from the coals, house-made pasta, bread from the fire, cocktails and wine. It works for a steak night, but also for a longer dinner with friends.
If you want to build the night around the fire, start with wood-fire dining in Bali or why wood-fired steak tastes better.
