El Greco Greek Restaurant, Seminyak

Shinta

If you’re ever in Seminyak, Bali, you absolutely have to check out El Greco! This Greek restaurant is a hidden gem located at Jl. Petitenget No. 25, and let me tell you, it’s a total vibe. The food? A perfect 5.0/5.0! The service? Another 5.0/5.0! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, scoring a solid 4.7/5.0. You can dine in and enjoy a meal for around Rp100,000-150,000 per person, which is a steal for the quality you get.

So, I went there for dinner and ordered a bunch of dishes: the Lamb Souvlaki Roll (Gyros), Capsicum Spicy Cheese Dip, and Spaghetti Napolitana. Everything was delicious! Seriously, some feta cheese would be nice in the Greek salad, but honestly, we loved the food so much that we ordered again the next day! Coming from a Greek, this is a must-try—10/10! Best food in Seminyak, hands down. This food is legit! Authentic as it comes. Definitely a new favorite!

Other diners were raving about it too! One person said, “The best place in Bali to eat food. I could eat their Chicken Gyros and Chicken Souvlaki rolls for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.” They also mentioned how the owner is super humble and even treated them to free lemoncello shots and dessert, which just adds to the warm hospitality. They went back at least three times during their four-day stay because the food was fresh, delicious, and gut-friendly. They tried everything from Chicken Mozzarella to Baba Ganoush and even recommended the Chocolate Mousse as a must-try!

Another review highlighted how lovely the small restaurant is, with amazing food and a great menu. They enjoyed the kakinisto and lamb chops, praising the seasoning and presentation. Plus, they got a complimentary dessert and lemoncello shot before leaving—what a sweet surprise!

And if you’re a picky eater like one of the reviewers, don’t worry! They found the food fresh, clean, and super tasty. The owner is lovely, and it’s a nice chilled eatery for any time of day.

One solo traveler even shared how they came back for the octopus, saying it was cooked to Mediterranean perfection. The service was top-notch, with the owner checking in to make sure everything was great. They were treated to dessert and limoncello free of charge both nights—talk about a great experience!

Honestly, I can’t wait to go back to El Greco the next time I’m in Bali. It’s just that good!

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to El Greco, a hidden gem located at Jl. Petitenget No. 25, Seminyak, Bali. Picture this: it’s my first night in Bali, and I’m wandering around like a lost puppy when I stumble upon this Greek paradise. I mean, who knew I’d find heaven on a non-Muslim island? Talk about a plot twist!

Now, let’s talk about the food. I decided to go all in and try their Lamb Souvlaki Roll (Gyros), Capsicum Spicy Cheese Dip, and Spaghetti Napolitana. Spoiler alert: my taste buds threw a party, and everyone was invited! The lamb was so tender it practically melted in my mouth. I half expected it to start singing “I Will Always Love You.” And don’t even get me started on the tzatziki sauce. It was like a cool breeze on a hot day—refreshing and oh-so-satisfying!

One of the diners next to me said, “I wouldn’t recommend anything because everything is truly delicious!” And honestly, I couldn’t agree more. The menu is like a buffet of mouth-watering options, and they even have pictures! So, if you’re indecisive like me, just point at whatever looks good and hope for the best. You won’t be disappointed!

Now, let’s talk about the atmosphere. It’s cozy, with a sprinkle of Mediterranean charm. The owner is super friendly, like that one uncle who always gives you candy at family gatherings. He even treated us to some loukoumades and homemade limoncello to wrap up the night. I mean, who doesn’t love free dessert? It’s like finding a $20 bill in your old jeans!

And for my vegetarian friends, fear not! They’ve got options that even the most dedicated herbivore would enjoy. One of my pals who’s a pure veg was practically doing a happy dance over their dishes. I think I saw him whispering sweet nothings to his Spaghetti Napolitana. It was a sight to behold!
