StakZ Bar & Grill, Kuta: Steak Plates, Penne and a Breakfast Chalkboard on Jalan Benesari

Address & map

StakZ Bar & Grill is a Western restaurant and bar on Jalan Benesari at Poppies II in Kuta, Bali, where in September 2019 I photographed two steak plates and a bowl of penne. StakZ's own website (its footer says 2022) says an owner from Sydney, who had been visiting Bali for years, opened it, and that the Bali venture began in July 2010.

The steak plates at StakZ

The steak in the cover photo is covered with a glossy brown sauce and topped with dark round berries that look like whole peppercorns. Around it are what look like cauliflower florets, green beans and carrot sticks, with mashed potato behind. On the second plate, a pale creamy sauce flecked with black specks covers the steak, beside mashed potato and a salad with cucumber slices.

Wanderlog's summary of its reviews singles out StakZ's tender, juicy steak and very large burgers. An undated guest comment on StakZ's own website says the steak there is imported from Western Australia.

The penne bowl

Penne is short, tube-shaped pasta cut at an angle. In my photo, the wide white bowl holds penne in what looks like a tomato-based sauce under a dusting of what looks like grated cheese, with two slices of what looks like toasted bread leaning on the rim. StakZ's website describes the restaurant as Italian, American, European and Western.

The StakZ sign and the breakfast board

A night view of the StakZ storefront: a sign whose oval reads StakZ, with Bar & Grill in small letters beneath it, under a corrugated roof, above an open front with red hanging lamps, a bar and a chalkboard headed Fresh Healthy Breakfast.

At night in September 2019, the oval on the sign read StakZ, with Bar & Grill in small letters beneath it. A chalkboard at the front, headed Fresh Healthy Breakfast, listed banana and strawberry porridge. StakZ's website, checked Nov 14, 2026, lists separate breakfast and lunch-and-dinner menus and has a reservation button.
