Restaurants and cafés are not just about the food they serve, but they’re about the vibes, atmosphere, and the general feel of them as well. You can’t deny that you’d fall for a diner just for its appeal, this automatically drags you in there to try it out. So let’s agree that the more Instagramable restaurants are, the more likely you’ll try them. Or at least, you’ll be more tempted to.
So, I’ve collaborated with some wonderful travel bloggers who cared to share their two cents here about the finest Instagramable restaurants around the world. Are you ready for some eye-candy?

Here are 9 Instagramable restaurants you must visit!
Benji’s – Amsterdam
“Amsterdam holds some of the most aesthetically pleasing restaurants in the world. There are a ton of different options for influencers and bloggers that will result in some stunning Instagram images, but Benji’s is one restaurant that stands out from the rest. The interior is like an urban jungle, with greenery all over and a tropical, hip vibe throughout the whole restaurant. The interior is really different from all other restaurants which results in some super unique Instagram photos.
It’s not only the interior of Benji’s that makes it so special it’s also the food. The food looks AND tastes amazing! The options are super healthy and well-priced (€10 for a meal) and all are photographed beautifully. The combination of delicious food, a stunning interior, and great service makes Benji’s not just an Instagramable restaurant but also one of the best restaurants in Amsterdam.”

Nessun Dorma – Cinque Terre
“Nessun Dorma is one of the prettiest restaurants in Cinque Terre. Where else can you have lunch while overlooking a view that looks like it came straight from a postcard? Located in the village of Manarola, Nessun Dorma is open for lunch and dinner.
They serve local Ligurian fare, which means no pizza or pasta, but plenty of pesto! The prices are surprisingly reasonable, given that you are in one of the most touristy parts of Italy. The service is quick and friendly, and the food is delicious!
– Dale from Wander Her Way
All of the seating is outdoors, but there are umbrellas and misting fans to protect you from the sun and heat on a hot summer day. Get there right when they open for lunch and request a table on the right side for the best view.”
Brunch & Cake – Barcelona
“Brunch & Cake in Barcelona, Spain is the epitome of the perfect brunch spot. It has a beautiful aesthetic, the prices aren’t outrageous, and the food is healthy and delicious! Their dishes are a wonderful combination of traditional and modern. Banana matcha pancakes, eggs benedict served in shovels, and their next-level avocado toast are all absolutely fantastic. Oh, and you can’t forget about their brightly colored super-fruit smoothies! It’s the perfect touch to fully encapsulate the Instagram aesthetic. The food is definitely a 10/10!
– Sarah from Borders & Bucket Lists
As for the prices, no individual item costs more than €13. But be sure not to treat yourself too much, because between the food, the smoothies, and the coffees, your bill might stack up if you’re not cautious.
Overall, Brunch & Cake is definitely a delicious and Instagram-worthy brunch nook!”
Central – Lima
“There is nothing more Instagramable than the food and plating at the award-winning restaurant “Central” in Lima, Peru. While the interior design is certainly fun to shoot, it’s the food that’s going to get you pulling out your camera. In fact, Central is featured in Netflix’s Chef’s Table (season 3).
Chef Virgilio Martinez uses rare ingredients from all over Peru in a 16-course tasting menu. The concept behind the menu also has meaning; it’s based on the different elevations in Peru. Your tastebuds will travel through the coastal towns to the Andes and visit all the valleys and Amazon in between. The tasting menu will set you back about $160 but if you’re looking for a truly unique dining experience, this would be it.
Learn more about Central and read a comparative article with another world-famous restaurant in Lima, Maido.”

Cocomo – Bali
“Cocomo Café in Canggu in Bali, Indonesia, is a super cute, colorful, and tropical café with perfect breakfast options, all for an affordable price. What makes this café so picturesque and popular is the giant, vibrant mural on the wall with the quote ‘Today Is A Good Day”. It’s sure to have you feeling uplifted for the day ahead. You’ll find that the vibe is incredibly laid back with plenty of pink flamingo decor and greenery surrounding you.
I definitely recommend it based on the lovely staff, great vibes and delicious food. You can order just about any of their filling breakfast options for around $5, meaning you won’t break the bank. The breakfast wrap is also a must try!”

Delycious by Cent – Dalat
“I found this beautiful little café called Delycious by Cent in Dalat, Vietnam when I was wandering its hilly streets. If you’ve been to Vietnam, you’ll know they love their coffee but their cafés are usually pretty small and basic. This one stood out with an airy space, and stunning 3-foot tall hummingbirds painted on the walls. There was even a human-sized gilded birdcage inside.
– Shimona Carvalho from Sidecar Photo
I had Vietnamese coffee with milk (or Cà Phê Sữa Đá) and it was delicious, just like the name of the café. You can’t go wrong with any of their Vietnamese-style coffees. They also had a lot of enticing looking pastries and cakes which I didn’t try.
Despite the stylish interior, the coffee was the standard price for a sit-down café at VND 39,000 ($1.6) and the rest of the menu looked quite affordable too. The café is split over three floors, so it’s quite spacious and easy to find a spot to chill.”
Coppa Club – London
“Coppa Club’s Tower Bridge location is known for the igloos resting along the Thames and looking out at Tower Bridge. In the winter, the igloos keep you warm as you enjoy your meal, but in the summer, they transform into a summer theme such as Tulum or surf shacks. These igloos are famous on Instagram, and reservations for them fill up months in advance. It is possible to eat in the igloos without a reservation, but you may wait hours for dinner without a reservation.
The prices are normal London prices (£3 – £25), the food is delicious, and service is top notch. What can’t be beat though is the atmosphere. Eating outside on a cold London day looking out over the Tower Bridge while staying warm makes for the perfect London dining experience.”

The Cake Bake Shop – Broad Ripple Village
“Gwendolyn Rogers opened her first Cake Bake Shop in the hipster Broad Ripple area of Indianapolis several years ago. When you walk in to the cute cafe, which also serves a plethora of drinks and lunch/dinner plates, in addition to the world famous cake, you feel like you’ve been transported to Paris.
Everything is whimsical, pink/gold/white and oh so beautiful. Celebrities eat here and an entire wall is dedicated to the famous patrons who have waltzed through the doors.
A slice of cake, which is what the shop is most known for will cost you around $15. Servings are huge – enough to feed two, so go with a friend, indulge in the rich butter cream icing and treat yourself at least once!”
– Kelly from Lost Between the Pages
Kynd Community – Bali
“One of the most Instagramable restaurants you’ll come across is definitely Kynd Community. The aesthetically appealing vegan café in the heart of Seminyak, Bali is a must-visit for it’s vibrant vibes and delicious treats.
If you’re an early bird, this place is definitely for you as it’s open from as early as 6 AM. The menu boasts a wide, gourmet variety of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, but what the place is best known for is its smoothie bowl. Indulge in a Berry Tropical bowl (my fav) for only IDR 79,000 ($5.7).”
