DAWN
Cooked breakfast runs from 6am to 6pm. The Dawn Big Breakfast delivers everything you’d expect from a proper breakfast, with eggs your way, bacon, chorizo, blistered tomatoes, grilled mushrooms, potato rosti, and sourdough. The Balinese Benedict pairs poached eggs and hollandaise with a homemade English muffin, wilted spinach, and either bacon or smoked salmon. The Chilli Scramble is the menu’s local turn, with scrambled eggs, peanut chilli crunch, feta, pickled red onion, and coriander. Avocado on multigrain sourdough comes with whipped feta and macadamia dukkah. Eggs are available on toast, scrambled, poached, or fried, with tomato kasundi if you’d rather keep it simple. For lighter mornings, there’s a dragon bowl with dragon fruit, granola, seasonal fruit, and honey. Hotcakes are also available for kids, alongside a short list of sides including bacon, chorizo, smoked salmon, rosti, mushrooms, tomato, and extra egg.
There’s never a bad time to eat a pie. Twelve-hour braised beef cheek and cheddar, chicken, leek and bacon in crème fraîche, mince beef and cheese, creamy leek and mushroom, pork, apple and fennel sausage rolls, spinach, feta and pine nut, chicken, bacon and cranberry. Made daily in-house, these are the kind of pies you inhale post-surf without taking a breath. Pastries run all day, from plain and almond croissants to pain au chocolat, cinnamon Danish, dark chocolate and sea salt madeleines, dark chocolate walnut brownie, mini lemon tart, choc chip and ANZAC cookies, and Balinese banana bread.
We’re serious about our coffee. It’s the reason most people walk in. Beans are sourced ethically from growers on Bali and Java. Espresso, double espresso, macchiato, piccolo, Americano, flat white, latte, cappuccino, mocaccino, pistachio latte, all hot or iced, with alt milks available. Decaf for whoever needs it. Tea properly made: English breakfast, Earl Grey, jasmine, chamomile, chai, golden latte, matcha latte, chocolate chai. Juices pressed that morning, including beet and ginger, pink dragon and lime. Kelapa muda, young coconut, from the bottle or straight from the nut. Smoothies built around cacao, dragon fruit, mango, banana, with a few extras if you want them. In the afternoon, the menu opens up with drinks including Heineken, San Miguel Light, Island Brewing pilsner and pale ale, Black Sand Brewery lager and Kölsch, Everyday Weekend seltzers, and a Dawn Aperol Spritz on tap for the late-afternoon crowd.
The café faces west, with the outside dining area dappled with light during the early hours. Inside seating offers a comfortable place to take a break from the sun, while the outdoor spaces are designed for relaxed grazing and conversation. Step down towards the sand for beachside bar leaners and bench seating sheltered by a giant Ancak tree.
Every Sunday, DAWN brings together two afternoon favourites. Sunday Burgers runs from 3pm to 6pm, while Sunday Session fills the afternoon with live music from 3:30pm to 6:30pm. Settle in by the beach for good food, drinks, and live music to round out the weekend.
Adjacent sits the Sundeck, with a sauna and cold plunge just a short walk through the trees. Most mornings, the same people who order the second coffee have just come from the cold plunge, or are about to go in.
Slow right down and let your body recalibrate. If ice baths and saunas aren’t your thing, simply sip a coconut, lap up the Bali sun, and gaze out to the ocean. The boats you see rocking in the bay are local jukung, mostly fishing the channel before the wind turns. By the time the Sundeck has filled, the morning’s catch is on its way back in.
From the boat jetty at Jungutbatu, follow the Boardwalk by Lago south along the cliff and drop down to Lago Beach. If you’ve found Dusk, you’re already there.

DUSK
DUSK brings a beachfront dining experience like no other on the island. The restaurant’s west-facing deck makes the changing sky part of the experience. The setting is contemporary, with an open connection between the dining room, the verandah and the beach beyond. Outside, the deck looks across the ocean, giving you a front-row view as the afternoon turns into sunset.
Our menu brings together the vibrant flavours and cooking techniques of Asia with the timeless traditions of the Mediterranean, with a special appreciation for Italian cuisine. Made for sharing, each dish celebrates fresh ingredients and bold flavours.
Cocktails drawing on Indonesian ingredients and flavours, alongside wines from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile and Europe. It is an easy progression from an afternoon drink on the deck to dinner as the evening settles in.
Every Thursday, DUSK invites guests to pull up a seat and enjoy an exclusive Chef’s Table. The five-course Chef’s Table menu changes from week to week based on the season’s best catch, the morning’s harvest and the chef’s inspiration.
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, looking for that one memorable dinner on the island or simply wanting to dress up for the evening, DUSK offers an elevated dining experience like no other in Nusa Lembongan.
