If you are after the best steak in Bali, look for a kitchen that cooks over real fire and lets good beef speak for itself. At Uma Garden, in Umalas, we grill dry-aged and wagyu cuts over wood and charcoal in an open garden. The line-up runs from our signature chateaubriand to a bone-in Black Angus tomahawk for the table. Open daily, noon to midnight.

What makes a steak worth the trip.

Three things, really. The beef itself — how it was raised, how it was aged, how it was marbled. The fire — charcoal and wood give a sear that a gas grill cannot, plus a quiet note of woodsmoke. And the rest — a good steak is taken off the heat, left to settle, then sliced. Get those three right and you barely need a sauce.

Best steak cuts to order in Bali.

For tenderness, choose chateaubriand. For richer marbling, choose wagyu striploin. For a sharing steak, choose a bone-in tomahawk. At Uma Garden, the best cut depends on whether you want elegance, richness or a dramatic centrepiece for the table.

The cuts we cook the most.

Our chateaubriand is the centre-cut of the tenderloin, lean and tender, carved at the table for two to share. The Australian wagyu striploin is the richer one, with marbling that melts as it cooks. The Black Angus tomahawk is the showpiece — a long bone-in ribeye built for a group.
