Is a 2 million IDR steak dinner in Bali worth the splurge? This review of Seminyak's famed Boy'N'Cow steakhouse says yes! Discover its legendary Tomahawk steak and melt-in-your-mouth Japanese Wagyu. With a lively, industrial vibe perfect for groups and must-try sides like rich mac and cheese, it’s an unforgettable experience. Find out why this Halal-certified spot is the ultimate destination for meat lovers, complete with essential tips on booking and what to order.
Coming to Bali for steak, and the kind where it's 2 million IDR per person, to be honest, I was initially reluctant. In Seminyak, a place with fierce competition, I wanted to see what made Boy'N'Cow, which my friends raved about and has 6000+ reviews with a 4.8 rating on Google, so special[1]?
Atmosphere on point, wallets ready
Stepping inside, the American industrial style immediately greets you, with dim lighting paired with leather sofas, the ambiance is absolutely perfect[2]. But don't expect to quietly Chill, this place is incredibly lively, the entire restaurant is buzzing with energy, more suitable for coming with friends to Nongkrong, rather than a date where you need to whisper. It's clear that everyone who comes here is here for one thing – to eat meat! 🥩
Here comes the main event. Us meat-lovers immediately went for their signature Tomahawk steak[3]. The waiter first brings the vacuum-sealed raw meat to your table for 'inspection,' which adds a nice touch of ceremony. Once it's grilled and served, that charred aroma... Anjay! Cut open, it's a perfect pink, the juices burst in your mouth with every bite, the meat is incredibly tender, truly living up to its reputation[4]. My friends ordered Japanese Wagyu[5], which was even more exaggeratedly melt-in-your-mouth, every bite tasted like money burning, but every bite felt worth it!
Don't underestimate their side dishes. That mac and cheese[6] is so rich it's almost criminal, and the roasted bone marrow is also exceptional; scoop it out and spread it on bread, it's sinful yet satisfying. The portions are super generous, enough for several people to share[7].
Getting real...
Of course, no one is perfect, and no restaurant is perfect. When the bill came, my heart still skipped a beat. The three of us ate for almost 5 million IDR, which is definitely top-tier spending in Bali. And honestly, their bottled water prices are a bit 'assassin-like,' they add up before you know it[8], so everyone should pay attention when ordering.
