By The Cliff

By The Cliff is a relaxed café and restaurant on the Suluban side of the cliff, with tables on a covered deck looking straight out over the Uluwatu surf break. It is a favourite with surfers checking the waves, and it gets crowded in the morning when the swell is big.

The menu is broad: breakfasts of eggs, waffles and smoothie bowls, salmon wraps and poke bowls at lunch, and burgers and fish later in the day. There is a Brazilian thread running through it, with dishes such as stroganoff and a 'PF' plate that Brazilian visitors recommend, plus mahi mahi with fries. The venue also has a sauna and cold plunge for use after a session.

It is open daily from 8am to 8pm, so come for breakfast or for sunset rather than a late dinner. Service can be slow at busy times, and some find portions small for the price. Access is via the lanes off the Suluban road, a short walk from the steps down to Suluban (Blue Point) beach. Watch your belongings, as monkeys are common on this stretch of cliff.
