Uluwatu Nikkei Kitchen and Bar

Inspired by the spirit of Bali

Seafood Oriental Grills Peruvian Vegetarian & Vegan

Uluwatu Nikkei Kitchen and Bar has quickly become one of the most talked-about dining destinations in Playa de las Américas. It offers a winning combination of Japanese-Peruvian fusion food, creative cocktails and nightly music sessions that keep the atmosphere alive until the early hours. This is not just another restaurant by the ocean. It’s an experience that blends flavour, rhythm, and style in a way that appeals to both locals and visitors.

The focus here is Nikkei cuisine, a food tradition that brings together the delicate techniques of Japanese cooking with the bold, vibrant flavours of Peru. At Uluwatu, that translates into plates of ceviche marinated in zesty citrus, sushi rolls with unexpected bursts of chilli and tropical fruit, and tiraditos that balance clean slices of fish with punchy sauces. It’s a style of cooking that feels modern and fresh, yet rooted in two long culinary traditions.

For anyone who loves dining as a social occasion, Uluwatu hits the spot. Dishes are designed to share, encouraging guests to order a mix of flavours and discover the menu together. Smaller plates make perfect starters, while more substantial mains deliver the kind of satisfaction that keeps people returning. Seafood lovers are especially well catered for, but vegetarians will also find plenty of choice.

The drinks menu is another strong point. Skilled mixologists put as much care into cocktails as the chefs do into food. Guests can sip on classic Pisco Sours, try inventive sake-based blends, or stick to an international wine list that pairs easily with the varied menu. The presentation is eye-catching without being fussy, and the balance of flavours is consistently spot on.

The service here was amazing. The food was great, the atmosphere was unreal. Would highly recommend, thanks once again to the wonderful staff and amazing chefs for this dining experience. Will be back!!!

Unbelievable experience! The best food I have ever eaten! Delicious cocktails and amazing wine. Impeccable service from Even who had perfect recommendations.

Honestly the best restaurant I’ve eaten in, in a long time. The customer service was absolutely fantastic, nothing too much trouble and immense care taken around allergies and dietary requirements. Thank you for an unforgettable dining experience.

The whole evening was just… incredible. The food was amazing. Fresh, full of flavor, and served with so much care. Antonio made us feel right at home and so did the rest of the staff. Warm, genuine, and always checking in to make sure everything was just right.

The place was magical, the food was amazing and the people were so loveley and helpfull. 10/10 would reccomend eating here!

As the evening unfolds, Uluwatu gradually shifts its pace. Every night, a DJ plays from 9pm to midnight, setting a steady rhythm that enhances the terrace’s lively atmosphere. The music is upbeat but never intrusive, creating a smooth transition from dinner into late-night drinks. Many visitors arrive for the food but stay longer than expected simply because the setting makes it easy to lose track of time.

Location plays its part too. Uluwatu sits in the heart of Playa de las Américas, making it easy to reach on foot from nearby hotels or with a short taxi ride from Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos. The décor is contemporary and stylish, inspired by the spirit of Bali, with an open-air feel that makes the most of Tenerife’s mild evenings. Whether you’re celebrating, meeting friends, or simply looking for somewhere that feels both relaxed and polished, this is a venue that adapts to the mood of the night.

Service is attentive but informal. Staff are happy to explain dishes to newcomers who may not be familiar with Nikkei cuisine, and their enthusiasm for the menu comes across naturally. It’s this blend of good food, good service, and good atmosphere that has built Uluwatu’s reputation as a standout option in Tenerife’s ever-competitive dining scene.

For those planning ahead, reservations are strongly recommended, particularly at weekends when both the dining area and bar reach full flow. It’s worth booking a little earlier in the evening if you prefer a quieter meal, or later if you want to slide straight into the DJ set.

If you're looking for a restaurant in Playa de las Américas that combines flavour with atmosphere and ocean views, Uluwatu Nikkei Kitchen and Bar is an excellent choice. Fresh food, stylish cocktails, and nightly music make it a place where dinner naturally becomes a night out.
