Price list 2026
Restaurant build cost in Bali: 2026 price list per m² and per seat.
Restaurant build cost in Bali in 2026 runs at IDR 8.5–18 million per m² (about USD 515–1,090 per m²) for a new build on empty land and IDR 4.5–14 million per m² for the fit-out of an existing building. Kitchen equipment adds IDR 3.5–7 million per seat and furniture IDR 1.5–4.2 million per seat. These are indicative ranges for 2026 from our own site cost data; a fixed price follows drawings and a bill of quantities. Land lease and working capital are separate.

All figures on this page are indicative ranges for 2026; a fixed price follows drawings and a bill of quantities.
Worked example: an 80-seat restaurant on empty land.
Take 80 seats. At about 2.6 m² of gross floor area per seat the building is roughly 208 m². Built at signature level, IDR 12.5 million per m², with kitchen and bar equipment, furniture, design, company and licences, pre-opening and an 8% reserve, the project comes to IDR 3.5–4.7 billion (about USD 213,000–286,000).
That leaves out the land lease and the working capital for the first months. Change the seats, the format or the finish in the cost calculator and send us the result on WhatsApp. The reasoning behind each line is in how much it costs to open a restaurant in Bali.

Sources as named. The first three describe fit-outs or small units, which is why they sit below our new-build rates: a new build also pays for foundations, structure, roof and kitchen services.

Questions we get on WhatsApp
What is the restaurant build cost in Bali per square metre?

What is the total Bali restaurant cost for 80 seats?
At signature level on empty land, IDR 3.5–4.7 billion (about USD 213,000–286,000) including kitchen, furniture, design, licences, pre-opening and a reserve. Land lease and working capital come on top. Run other sizes in the calculator.
What is the restaurant fit out cost per m2 in Bali?
IDR 4.5 million per m² at essential level, IDR 8 million per m² at signature and IDR 14 million per m² at premium, indicative for 2026. What each level includes is on the design and fit-out page.
How does this compare with the Bali construction cost per m2 for a villa?
Undated agency sources quote villa builds from about IDR 6 million per m² for very basic work to 15 million for luxury (A Brother Abroad). A restaurant shell is similar; the difference is the kitchen: power load, gas, exhaust, grease trap and floor drains. See the kitchen page.
Is the price fixed once we sign?
Yes. The bill of quantities prepared from the drawings becomes the contract price, paid in stages tied to milestones. How we work shows where the contract sits.
