Russian Food in Bali 2026
One thing worth knowing before you go: most so-called "Russian" restaurants in Bali actually serve a wider Eastern-European spread — Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and often Georgian too. So a single menu might run borscht, pelmeni and vareniki alongside khachapuri, plov and syrniki. That's a feature, not a flaw: "Russian" here is shorthand for a whole comfort-food tradition. Bali's big Slavic community means there's plenty of it, mostly homey eat-and-go spots. Here's our honest, district-by-district list for 2026 — where to find the real thing.
Batu Belig & Kerobokan
IZZI Rooftop — Restaurant, Bar & Shisha Lounge ★ 4.9 Homemade · Rooftop
What sets IZZI apart isn't just the menu — it's that the pelmeni, vareniki and cheburek are made in-house rather than bought frozen, and you eat them five floors up with a panoramic ocean sunset. The kitchen runs the full spread: borscht, five stroganoff variations, cutlets, beef tongue, syrniki, Olivier with Doctor kolbasa, plus a whole salmon section. Open until 2:30 AM (doors till 4 AM), dog-friendly, parking, and it turns into a shisha lounge after dinner. The comfort food of a café, in the setting of a rooftop restaurant.
Website & menu →Bali Betula Eurasian
A Kerobokan spot cooking what it calls Eurasian food — one big menu running from plov and borsch to shakshuka and gyros. Casual, generous and a local favourite for a mixed Slavic-plus-Middle-Eastern plate.
Seminyak
Vkusno Homemade
A Bali favourite since its first Seminyak location — homemade Eastern-European food with a highlight on signature thick syrniki, borsch and shashlik. Generous portions, mains come with condiments, and it stays genuinely affordable.
Eden + Hookah
A restaurant-and-hookah chain (Seminyak, plus Ubud and Uluwatu branches) with a Russian section alongside sushi and Italian: beef stroganoff, pelmeni, borscht and blini, with live music. More of a broad menu than a dedicated Russian kitchen, but reliable.
Amouage ME & Russian
A Middle-Eastern-meets-Russian kitchen — must-tries include manty, pelmeni, borscht and Russian potato salad. A good pick if you want Slavic staples alongside kebabs and mezze.
Canggu & Pererenan
Papa Sauce Street food
Tucked in Pererenan, Canggu's most-loved Russian street-food spot — chebureki, borscht, pelmeni and syrniki, honest and generous at fair prices. A loyal following among expats and curious first-timers alike.
Rasgulai Homestyle
On Batu Bolong in Canggu (with a Seminyak branch) — straightforward, satisfying Russian home cooking. Reviewers single out the borscht (deep flavour, sour cream and dill) and well-grilled kebabs. Laid-back and reliable.
Ubud
SkaZka Slavic · Turkish
"SkaZka" means fairy tale — an Ubud space inviting you to explore Slavic and Turkish cuisines under one roof. A rarer find inland, handy if you're basing yourself around Ubud rather than the coast.
Georgian & Caucasian
Tiflis Georgian
Georgian cooking done well — khachapuri, plenty of meats, cheese and appetisers. Not Russian, but a staple of the Slavic community's dining-out list. Well worth trying.
Nino Caucasian
Another Caucasian kitchen excelling at the meats, cheeses and shared plates Russians reach for — khinkali, grills and warm bread. A reliable choice when you want Georgian rather than Slavic.
Quick answers
Where's the best Russian food in Bali?
It depends what you want. For homemade Slavic dishes on a sunset rooftop with a late kitchen, IZZI in Batu Belig; for classic homey value, Vkusno (Seminyak) and Papa Sauce (Canggu); for Georgian, Tiflis and Nino. Most "Russian" menus also cover Ukrainian and Georgian dishes.
What Russian dishes should I try?
Borscht (beetroot soup), pelmeni and vareniki (dumplings), syrniki (curd pancakes), beef stroganoff, chebureki (fried meat pastries), Olivier salad, and blini with caviar. Georgian add-ons: khachapuri and khinkali.
Is there a Russian restaurant open late in Bali?
Most close by evening. IZZI in Batu Belig keeps its kitchen open until 2:30 AM (doors till 4 AM), so it's the option for a late borscht or pelmeni after other kitchens have closed.
Why is there so much Russian food in Bali?
Bali has a large Slavic expat community and lots of direct flights from the region, so demand for comfort food from home is high — which is why you'll find everything from street-food chebureki to rooftop stroganoff.
