If you have spent any time in Uluwatu, you have almost certainly walked past AMA by Ours — the Greek-Italian restaurant on Jalan Labuan Sait that seems to draw a crowd at every meal. There is a reason for that. AMA is not just another Bali cafe with a pretty view. It is a proper kitchen with a clear point of view: Mediterranean food made with farm-sourced ingredients, no added sugars, and enough variety to keep you coming back for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the same trip.
This guide covers everything — what to eat, what to drink, what to know before you come, and why Ours Uluwatu has become a genuine anchor for the local dining scene.
What Is AMA by Ours?
AMA by Ours is the restaurant arm of the Ours Group — a Bali-based hospitality collection that also runs Ours Bali, Ours Spa, Tabu, Mood by Ours, and Ours Home. The restaurant sits in Pecatu, right on the road that leads down to Balangan Beach, and it has become one of the most-visited dining spots in the Uluwatu corridor.
The kitchen operates on the same principle that runs through everything the Ours Group touches: bold flavours built from real ingredients. Since aligning with the farm-to-table, no added sugars philosophy shared by its sister venue Mood by Ours, AMA has quietly become one of the most ingredient-conscious restaurants in southern Bali.
The menu blends Greek and Italian culinary traditions — think wood-fired pizza alongside souvlaki, homemade pasta next to halloumi saganaki, and a drinks list that runs from cold-pressed juices to signature cocktails. It is a combination that should not work as well as it does, but somehow the Mediterranean thread holds it all together.
You can see the full offering on the AMA by Ours menu page before you visit.
Breakfast at Ours Uluwatu
Breakfast at AMA is one of the best morning meals you will find in the area. The breakfast menu runs until mid-afternoon, which means there is no pressure to drag yourself out of bed at the crack of dawn — something Uluwatu guests tend to appreciate.
What to expect
The morning menu is built around real food: cultured butter, acacia honey, sourdough baked in-house, farm eggs cooked the way you want them. There is a bone broth starter for those who like to begin that way, and the coffee program is properly done — espresso, piccolo, macchiato, flat white, plus a dedicated iced matcha bar if you are feeling more Bali than Rome.
The “make your own breaky” option is a standout for anyone who wants control over their plate. You pick from a tapas-style selection — eggs, baked goods, seasonal produce, cured proteins — and build the meal yourself. It is the kind of flexibility that works for both the health-focused traveller and the person who just wants bacon and sourdough without overthinking it.
Some of the morning highlights include:
- Wood-fired steak and eggs — one of the more substantial options on the breakfast menu, built around smashed baby potatoes and caramelised tomato.
- Turkish poached eggs — herb yogurt, chilli oil, zataar, caponata, and baked flatbread. The kind of dish that has become a social media fixture for good reason.
- Truffle scramble — mascarpone, parmesan, crispy sourdough. Simple, rich, properly done.
- Granola and yogurt — almond, cashew, sunflower seed, local fruit. A lighter choice that does not compromise on flavour.
If you prefer something sweet to start, the smoothie list and cold-pressed juice range are available until the afternoon, and the baked goods counter — croissants, chocolate croissants, cinnamon buns, gluten-free banana bread — rounds out the morning nicely.
Lunch at Ours Uluwatu
The kitchen shifts into full gear from midday. Lunch at AMA is where the Greek-Italian identity of the restaurant becomes most apparent — the menu opens up to include shareable bites, wood-fired pizza, homemade pasta, and substantial mains.
Starters and sharing plates
AMA’s approach to the lunch table is Mediterranean in the truest sense: food is meant to arrive as it is ready, and the best meals here are the ones shared. The bites and “to share” section of the menu includes some of the kitchen’s most confident cooking.
- AMA’s hummus — crispy chickpeas, sumac, wood-fired flatbread. This is a benchmark dish. The version here has a depth that most versions in Bali do not.
- Halloumi saganaki — pomegranate, rocket, spicy honey. Salty, sweet, and slightly caramelised — a combination that works every time.
- Salt and pepper squid — smoked chipotle aioli, lemon. Lighter than the typical batter-heavy version you find elsewhere.
- Watermelon — Greek yogurt, toasted sesame, olive oil, mint. A palate-cleanser that pulls double duty as a starter.
Wood-fired pizza
The pizza at AMA comes in classic or thin-and-crispy dough, cooked in a wood-fired oven. The Stracciatella — mozzarella, peperoni, jalapeño salsa, honey — is the one that gets the most attention, and it earns it. The Prosciutto with mozzarella, pecorino, and wild rocket is the more restrained choice if you want something less punchy.
Every Monday, AMA runs a Pizza Monday promotion — an all-you-can-eat pizza event that draws both regulars and first-timers. It is worth building a Monday evening around.
Homemade pasta
The pasta is made in-house, with gluten-free available as an upgrade. Four options sit on the menu with enough variety to satisfy different preferences:
- Truffled ricotta ravioli — truffle butter, parmesan, black pepper.
- Linguini prawns — spicy nduja butter, cherry tomato.
- Pappardelle beef ragu — artichoke, whipped ricotta.
- Wood oven lasagna — beef bolognese, bechamel, ricotta. Add garlic bread for the full picture.
Mains and salads
The lunch mains section covers a range of proteins — souvlaki with chicken or beef, grass-fed tenderloin, grilled barramundi, crispy salmon, and a chicken parm that has developed something of a loyal following. The salad list is short but well-constructed: burrata with smoked tomato vinaigrette, a proper Greek salad, and a chopped broccoli option with lemon and roasted almonds.
Dinner at Ours Uluwatu
Dinner is where AMA operates at its fullest. The kitchen opens from 5pm, and the evening atmosphere — warm lighting, a bar that comes alive, the smell of wood-fired cooking — makes it one of the more memorable dining experiences in Uluwatu.
Starters and small plates
The dinner menu adds a few items not found at lunch. The layered truffled potato (whipped truffle ricotta, parmesan) is one of the more quietly brilliant things on the menu — it sounds simple and arrives as something else entirely. The toast wagyu tartare with tonnato, capers, and crispy sourdough is the other dinner-only starter worth seeking out.
The spicy tiger prawns with nduja butter and chipotle sauce sit on the dinner sharing menu and are one of the stronger evening additions to the “to share” section.
The wood-fired grill
The dinner menu expands the grill section significantly. The Tokusan wagyu picanha — bone marrow, pickled shallots, marrow sauce — is the headline dish, and it is priced accordingly. Below that, the grass-fed tenderloin and the charred grilled salmon cover the range of what you would expect from a proper wood-fired kitchen.
The full wood-fired grill section at dinner includes:
- Tokusan wagyu picanha — the premium option for a special evening.
- Grass-fed tenderloin — rosemary butter, pepper sauce, shoestring fries.
- Charred grilled salmon — green beans, beurre blanc, lemon, parsley.
- Grilled barramundi — brown butter, tomato, capers.
- Souvlaki — chicken or beef, rice, fries, salad, hummus, tzatziki, flatbread.
Desserts
Four desserts close the dinner menu. The flourless chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and pistachio is the most consistently ordered. The tiramisu uses whipped mascarpone and cacao powder and is closer to the Italian original than most Bali versions. The meringue with raspberry, labneh, whipped cream, and sumac is the one that tends to surprise people most.
Drinks: From Morning Coffee to Evening Cocktails
The drinks program at AMA runs from the morning all the way through to closing. In the morning, the iced matcha bar and specialty coffee menu handle the early crowd. The cold-pressed juice range and smoothie list (available until 5pm) cover the wellness side of things.
By the afternoon and evening, the bar takes over. The cocktail list is well-developed — a mix of signature drinks built around the venue’s Mediterranean identity, and classics done properly.
Happy Hour: 2-for-1 cocktails
Every day between 4pm and 7pm, AMA runs a Happy Hour — two cocktails for the price of one. This is the most reliable way to try the signature drinks without committing to the full list. The aperol spritz, espresso martini, and the amas cosmo (lemongrass vodka, cranberry, egg white) are consistent highlights during this window.
The virgin cocktail list is equally well-considered — rosemary mule, ginger mule with kombucha, pineapple margarita — which makes the Happy Hour period accessible regardless of whether you drink alcohol.
The Farm-to-Table Philosophy at AMA
AMA operates on what the Ours Group calls a farm-to-table, no added sugars approach. Ingredients are sourced from the Ours Farm where possible, and the kitchen’s cooking philosophy aligns with the ethos of its sister venue, Mood by Ours — which operates as a certified organic market and cafe.
What this means in practice is that the food at AMA tastes cleaner than most restaurant food in the area. The flavours are not masked by sugar or overly processed components. The bone broth on the breakfast menu is made in-house. The pasta is made fresh. The flatbread comes out of a wood-fired oven. This is not marketing language — it shows up in the plate.
For travellers with dietary requirements, AMA can accommodate gluten-free (most pasta dishes available with a gluten-free upgrade), vegetarian, and to some extent vegan preferences. The staff are familiar with allergy requests — notify the kitchen when ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AMA by Ours the same as Ours Restaurant Uluwatu?
AMA by Ours is the dedicated restaurant within the Ours Group’s Uluwatu properties. Ours Bali is the broader hospitality brand — AMA is specifically the Greek-Italian dining venue on Jalan Labuan Sait. The two are connected under the same group but are separate venues with different menus and concepts.
Does AMA serve food all day?
Yes. Breakfast runs until mid-afternoon, lunch begins from 11am, and dinner service starts from 5pm. The kitchen is open continuously throughout the day, so there is no gap between services.
Is AMA by Ours good for vegetarians?
Yes. The menu includes multiple vegetarian options across all meal periods — from the granola and fruit plate at breakfast to the wood-fired flatbreads, Greek salad, chopped broccoli, and pasta dishes at lunch and dinner. Vegan adjustments are available on several items.
Can I book a table for a large group?
Yes. AMA can seat groups, and the venue can also be booked for private events. For groups of more than eight, it is advisable to contact the team directly via the booking page to arrange seating and discuss any set menu options.
What makes AMA different from other Uluwatu restaurants?
The combination of genuine Greek and Italian cooking — not a tourist-friendly watered-down version — executed with farm-sourced ingredients in a wood-fired kitchen is what separates AMA from most restaurants in the area. There is also the breadth of the menu: you can come for a light breakfast, a full pasta lunch, and a wood-fired grill dinner and eat something meaningfully different each time.
