Event
Waatu at Buzo
Nom Nom Vol. 21 meets Cocktail Collective Vol. 22 as WAATU takes over BUZO for a night of food, cocktails and after-dark energy.
Manifesto
Oishii, honest.
Oishii, from the heart.
Italian soul, Japanese precision.
Not just a plate, but a moment, a mood.
Warm, unhurried, generous with flavor.
It's our voice, our craft, our way of cooking.
We're not chasing trends, we're curating flavours, and that's enough.
We celebrate the ingredient, the season, the simple thing done right.
It's senza fronzoli, shokunin spirit, it is what it is.
The food is familiar, yet refined.
It hits every note it means to.
A blend of nonna's table and omakase discipline.
Bold, precise, honest and warm.
A restaurant, a kitchen, a kitchen that is a restaurant.
Nothing hides behind the pass.
We cook, we pour, we sit at the table with you.
Food & Drinks
Japanese Precision. Italian Soul.
Begin with Tuna Sashimi, where pickled green tomato, aged ponzu and burnt butter bring brightness and richness to the fish, or Tempura Zucchini Flowers: crisp batter giving way to mozzarella and ricotta, with honey and whipped goat's cheese. Chili Miso Beef Pizza layers gochujang beef, sweet corn butter, nori and miso béchamel, and Japanese Prawn Margherita brings shiso and rayu oil to pomodoro, mozzarella and stracciatella.
The pasta menu gives Buzo's identity some of its clearest expression: Squid Ink Pasta with calamari, tomato, capers, miso butter and salted kombu, and Miso Ricotta Potato Agnolotti in lemon butter sauce. Porcini Ash-Crusted Rib Eye with black garlic and bordelaise, Lobster Spaghetti with prawn, shiso and cherry tomatoes, and the Sutēki sizzle plate make the occasion.
The bar marks the start of the evening and the Wine Room gives everyone a reason to stay. Save room for White Chocolate and Yuzu Cheesecake, with coconut biscuit, passionfruit curd and matcha crumbs.

Two Cultures. One Appetite.
Some evenings deserve more than a dinner reservation. A cocktail before the first course. A table filled with things to taste and share. A bottle of wine that gives everyone a reason to stay. On Seminyak's Jalan Kayu Aya, Buzo brings these pleasures together through chef Will Meyrick's interpretation of Itameshi: the meeting of Japanese and Italian cooking.
Itameshi connects the precision of Japanese cooking with the generosity of the Italian table. At Buzo, that connection comes alive through ingredients. Miso gives ricotta greater savoury depth. Kombu brings a briny richness to pasta. Shiso adds an aromatic lift to seafood, while Japanese seasonings find a natural place alongside butter, tomato and cheese.
There is care behind those combinations: balancing richness with acidity, softness with crunch, and familiar flavours with something worth discovering. Order something you know, something that catches your curiosity, and a little more for the centre of the table.
The Bar & Wine Room
Buzo's interiors give the evening a sense of occasion. The dining room combines polish with the fun social vibe of a modern izakaya. It feels equally suited to a dinner for two or a gathering of friends, with a relaxed rhythm that invites guests to settle in.
The bar is part of that experience from the outset. Arrive before dinner and let a cocktail mark the transition from a day in Seminyak to an evening at Buzo. After the meal, return for another drink and let the conversation continue.
The Wine Room adds a further dimension, giving wine its own place within the restaurant's identity and another reason to make a night of the visit.
Guest Reviews
Now I realised why this place was highly rated - the food was just amazing from the milk bread to Japanese Arancini balls to the Teppan dishes. Do yourself a favour and check it out.

Buzo is my most favourite restaurant in all of Seminyak. The food is exceptional and served with such grace and warmth from the waiting staff and front of house. The cocktails are sexy and a must to have before, during and after the meal. If nothing else at least drop by to soak up the atmosphere, and have a go at their bread. How do they make bread a stunning standout? The choc orange sorbet is a must. So many dishes on the menu….and yet such little time. We cannot wait to return and do it all again. Our compliments and congratulations to all. 💖

What a place! Ambience, unbelievable cuisine & excellent service. I don’t usually do this, however I was compelled to write a few words about this special eatery. The tempura, vegetarian pasta dishes and the mouth watering desserts … the bread baked on site … spectacular! Thanks for making our stay special!

We’ve been to Buzo in Seminyak once before and it stuck with us so well that a return visit was a must on the very next return trip to Bali. Same feeling walking in: glowing bar down the middle, leather seats, open kitchen with actual fire, that warm low light that makes Eat Street feel a bit glamorous again. Atmosphere is just on point. The idea is Itameshi — Japanese izakaya energy mixed with Italian comfort food. Not a gimmick plate of “fusion for Instagram.” Think sushi and robata skewers sitting next to handmade pasta and sourdough pizza like they belong together. Japanese precision on the knife work and grill, Italian soul in the pasta, cheese, and big sharing plates. Collectively my partner and I have knocked over ten or so dishes between us. Every single one landed. Tartare, sushi, the miso ricotta agnolotti, pork katsu, pizzas, the lot. Nothing was “fine.” All of it was properly delicious. Special shout to Dewi. She looked after us like we were regulars even though we only get here when we’re on the island. Knew the menu, didn’t hover, just made the night easy. Staff across the board were the same — friendly, switched on, no attitude. Dishes, staff, menu and atmosphere are all on point. If rating out of ten can I give it eleven? One of our favourite dining spots in the world now. Permanent on the itinerary every time we’re back in Bali. Already thinking about what we’ll order next visit.

Buzo is such a nice restaurant inside and the food is amazing! Our server, Dewi, was so friendly. We had a great meal here, this was our second time visiting and we would come back again!

Amazing food, vibes and drinks. The interior is so beautiful and the food was amazing. I came back 3 times whilst holidaying in Bali and I will definitely come back again. Eka and the rest of the staff were so wonderful and accomodating.
