In a sea of ever-evolving culinary hotspots across Bali, Lulu Bistrot has emerged not with noise — but with quiet, confident precision. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Canggu, this French-inspired bistro has redefined casual elegance in just two short years. And it’s not just talk: the awards are rolling in, the tables are always booked, and the experience? Effortlessly unforgettable.
Launched in mid-2023, Lulu didn’t come to play. It came to set a new standard. Helmed by Rafael Nardo, a Brazilian F&B veteran with global roots and vision, Lulu Bistrot is as personal as it is professional.
Named after his son, born during the restaurant’s construction, and shaped by the cultural depth of his own journey — from Brazil to Europe, with a touch of Caribbean soul from his wife — the result is a bistro that tells a story in every plate.


Forget fusion. This is a conversation — between classic French technique and bold Indonesian ingredients, between refined taste and island ease. The menu is sharp, the drinks list global, the vibe laid-back yet polished. And behind it all? An all-Indonesian kitchen and bar team delivering at world-class levels.
The accolades speak for themselves. Lulu Bistrot was recently selected for the 2025 Prestige Gourmet Awards, a new but already influential benchmark launched by luxury lifestyle authority Prestige Indonesia.
With nearly 30 cross-industry judges and only 30 restaurants selected nationwide, Lulu’s inclusion is a testament to its innovation, consistency, and total guest experience.
That’s not all. Lulu also secured its place on the Tatler Asia 100 Best Restaurants of 2024, a list that celebrates not just technical excellence, but soul and substance.
Add to that a coveted spot in Honeycombers’ 25 Best Restaurants in Bali (April 2025) — where the dining experience was described as “like being in Paris without leaving Bali,” and dishes like Oysters au Naturel, Terrine de Campagne, and Lamb Bourguignon earned high praise.
