The Soho Diner Never Sleeps
Despite legendary philosopher Snoop Lion (1971 – ) declaring conclusively that “the party don’t stop ’til six in the morning,” the sad truth is that, for much of Bali, the party does keep fairly regular business hours. If you’re stranded in the hours between 3am and 6am, you know that life can only be made better via the intake of hamburgers and oxtail soup and nachos.

Soho Diner does most everything right to fill this nightowl-shaped hole in Bali’s dining needs. For the last ten years, they’ve cultivated the kind of place where you can feel comfortable with the fact that pork ribs just kinda taste better with a side of insomnia.

Restaurants don’t last for a decade without doing something right. And on an island where you can find all of life’s answers, its comforting to know that one of those answers is: “Yes, you can get an omelet whenever you want.”
You won’t find the answers to all of life’s questions on the Qraved app (available for iOS and Android), but you can find out where to get a great meal.
