Michelin Star Restaurants in Bali (2026): Is There a Michelin Guide?

Last updated: 5 November 2026

There are no Michelin star restaurants in Bali. Michelin has not published a restaurant selection for Indonesia, so no restaurant on the island holds a star. What Bali does have is a group of restaurants with Michelin-trained chefs and major international awards, and a set of hotels recognised with the MICHELIN Key. This guide lists both, with the facts behind each name.

TL;DR: Bali has no Michelin starred restaurants because Michelin does not yet cover restaurants in Indonesia. Syrco BASÈ and Apéritif in Ubud have chefs from Michelin-starred kitchens. Mandapa in Ubud holds Three MICHELIN Keys as a hotel. In Seminyak, MAURI is on Tatler’s Best 20 Restaurants in Indonesia 2026.

Is there a Michelin star restaurant in Bali?

No. As of November 2026, the MICHELIN Guide lists hotels in Bali but no restaurants, and Michelin has never awarded a star in Indonesia. Restaurants that describe themselves as Michelin star level are pointing to their chef’s past, or to awards from other guides such as Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, Tatler and Gambero Rosso.

MICHELIN Keys: the Michelin award Bali does have

The MICHELIN Key is Michelin’s award for hotels, from one to three Keys. The 2026 selection, published in September 2026, recognised 47 hotels in Indonesia, and most of the top-rated ones are in Bali. Several of these hotels have fine dining rooms of their own, which is one reason the Michelin name comes up so often in Bali dining searches.

Keys Hotel Area
Three Keys Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve Ubud
Two Keys Capella Ubud Ubud
Two Keys The Apurva Kempinski Bali Nusa Dua
Two Keys Bvlgari Resort Bali Uluwatu
