In a destination long cherished for its gentler pace and seaside soul, Byrd House Bali has quietly become one of Sanur’s most defining addresses – not only for dining, but for the way it frames daily life along the coast. Set directly on Segara Beach within the Segara Village area, Byrd House is about creating a rhythm: one that flows effortlessly from morning light to golden hour, from long lunches to evenings shaped by conversation, cocktails, and sea air.
Byrd House Bali captures something distinctly Sanur. It is refined without formality, social without excess, and thoughtful without trying too hard. Here, beachfront dining is a lived experience – where locals return, expatriates linger, and travellers quickly feel like regulars.
The appeal of Byrd House Bali begins with its setting. Facing the calm waters of Segara Beach, the venue opens itself fully to the sea, allowing ocean breezes, shifting light, and the sounds of the shoreline to become part of the experience. The architecture and layout are intentionally versatile: beachfront seating for barefoot mornings, main dining areas for long, unhurried meals, poolside spaces for sunlit afternoons, and comfortable indoor lounges that transition smoothly into the evening.
This openness gives Byrd House its unique cadence. Families arrive for breakfast by the beach, remote workers linger over coffee and pastries, friends gather for lunch that stretches well past schedule, and by nightfall, the energy shifts – music hums a little louder, cocktails appear more frequently, and the venue settles into its role as one of Sanur’s liveliest social scenes.
At the heart of Byrd House Bali is a culinary concept that mirrors its surroundings: Italian-Mediterranean-inspired, ingredient-driven, and designed for pleasure rather than performance. The menu celebrates fresh produce, quality proteins, and approachable flavours – executed with care, but never overcomplicated.
Handmade pastas anchor the menu, alongside fresh seafood, grilled specialties, wood-fired pizzas, and thoughtfully composed plates that feel both satisfying and refined. There is a clear understanding here that beachfront dining should nourish without overwhelming – food that complements conversation, sunlight, and the slow passage of time.
The experience unfolds across several interconnected offerings. Byrd Dining serves as the all-day heart of the venue, welcoming guests from breakfast through dinner with menus that adapt subtly as the day progresses. Byrd Patisserie adds another layer, drawing guests in with artisan pastries, specialty coffee, and the kind of morning ritual that quickly becomes habit. As the sun sets, Byrd Bar & Lounge takes centre stage, offering signature cocktails, curated wines, and an atmosphere designed for lingering.
At the helm of the kitchen, Executive Chef Luca Masini brings a global perspective shaped by years of cooking around the world. At Byrd House Bali, his approach reflects both experience and restraint – allowing the location, the guests, and the rhythm of Sanur to guide the food. Chef Luca shares his insights into the philosophy behind Byrd House Bali, in his own words.
Byrd House moves seamlessly from daytime dining to a lively evening atmosphere. How does that transition influence menu development?
The menu follows that same rhythm. During lunch, the focus is on comforting, easy-to-enjoy dishes that feel right for a laid-back afternoon. As the day turns into night, the menu shifts into something a little more polished, perfectly matching the upbeat evening atmosphere. Kept intentionally simple yet varied, the menu brings together Italian, western, pizza, and Indonesian favourites – offering something for everyone while staying true to Byrd House’s easy-going vibe from day to night.
With offerings ranging from Byrd Dining to the patisserie and bar, how do you ensure a consistent culinary identity across the venue?
We ensure a consistent culinary identity by staying true to our standards and traditional recipes, especially across the food menu. Each offering is developed with the same commitment to quality, flavour balance, and technique, allowing different sections of the venue to express creativity while still reflecting the core identity of Byrd House. This consistency helps create a unified dining experience, regardless of where guests choose to enjoy their meal.
Sanur has a distinct, relaxed character. How did the location shape the food philosophy at Byrd House Bali?
The menu is designed to feel approachable and comforting, while still maintaining quality and refinement. We focus on familiar flavours, well-balanced dishes, and a welcoming style of dining that suits Sanur’s laid-back lifestyle, allowing guests to enjoy good food in a calm atmosphere that reflects the spirit of the area.
Byrd House is designed for everyone – from families to social gatherings and private events. How do you create menus that feel inclusive yet refined?
We offer a wide range of dishes to suit different tastes and preferences, making sure there’s always something everyone can enjoy. The food feels modern but stays grounded in simple, familiar flavours, brought to life with a creative touch. This balance keeps the menu approachable and comforting, while still polished enough for special occasions and social gatherings.
Is there a dish on the menu that best represents your vision for Byrd House Bali?
Rather than being defined by one signature dish, the spirit of Byrd House Bali comes through in the balance and variety of the menu as a whole. As a chef, it’s honestly hard to pick a favourite. I work with so many different ingredients and techniques, and each dish has its own character.
Are there any ingredients or techniques you’re particularly excited to explore in upcoming menus?
For us, creating the menu is about curiosity and enjoyment. We love starting with local ingredients – what’s fresh, what’s in season, and what’s available around us – and building flavours from there. Then we add a few special ingredients from abroad to bring something new to the table. Lately, we’ve been especially excited about our truffle specials, which add a little indulgence without losing the comforting, easy-going feel we want our food to have. It’s all about keeping things fun, thoughtful, and true to the Byrd House experience.
After years of cooking around the world, what does leading the kitchen at Byrd House Bali mean to you personally?
Leading the kitchen at Byrd House Bali means a great deal to me on a personal level. After years of cooking around the world, it gives me the opportunity to express my own creativity and personality through the food, using everything I’ve learned from my previous working experiences. It allows me to blend different techniques, cultures, and ideas into a menu that feels both personal and meaningful, while contributing to the identity and growth of Byrd House.
