Bo & Bun Seminyak: A French–Vietnamese Bistro That Stays Affordable

At the northern end of Jalan Raya Seminyak, at Jl. Raya Basangkasa No. 26, sits a small bistro that has outlasted most of its neighbours: Bo & Bun. Open since September 2014, it pairs a Vietnamese kitchen with French bistro styling — timber tables, warm lighting and a dining room that hums every night. Prices stay reasonable by Seminyak standards, which is exactly why the tables go fast.

Vietnamese Kitchen, Bistro Mood

The menu is rooted in Vietnamese home cooking with borrowings from around Southeast Asia. The headline dish is the 12-Hour Pho Bo, a beef broth simmered with marrow bones and spices for twelve hours. Portions are generous, so go easy on the starters.

What to Order

• 12-Hour Pho Bo — clear, deeply savoury broth served with a plate of fresh herbs.
• Bánh mì — crisp baguette with a genuinely generous filling.
• Fresh spring rolls and Vietnamese salad as light openers.
• Pork belly bao and Korean wings, the sharing favourites.
• Price range: mains around Rp75,000–150,000, roughly Rp100,000–250,000 per person with drinks.

Tips Before You Go

• The room is compact and starts filling around 7pm — book ahead or arrive before 6.30pm.
• There is a two-for-one cocktail happy hour roughly 3pm–6pm.
• It sits on a busy stretch of road; scooter parking is far easier than car parking.
• Want it quieter? Come at lunchtime.
