Forget London and Paris. In-the-know foodies are making a stop in Canggu to try the best restaurants in Bali.
Holy moly, where to start? It’s no secret that Canggu is the epicentre of Bali’s dining scene. There are more epic restaurants and cool Canggu cafes around town than you can shake a coconut at. But with even more hot new tables popping up almost weekly in this surfing suburb, it’s hard to know which Canggu restaurants are worth a visit. So, to help you find the best places to eat in Canggu, I’ve tried and tested them all to bring you this ultimate guide to the best restaurants in Canggu for 2025.
The Best Restaurants In Canggu: My Top Picks
1. Sazón – best new restaurant
Spanish tapas with Michelin flair, bold Iberian flavours and dry-aged steaks in Batu Bolong.
When word got out that Michelin-starred Chef Andrew Walsh was setting up shop in Canggu, I dropped everything and made a beeline to Batu Bolong. Teaming up with Head Chef Javier Vicente, the duo have dished up Sazón – a seriously suave Spanish-style tapas restaurant that blends bold Iberian flavours with Bali’s bountiful local produce. Think sultry lighting, an open kitchen, and a sleek bar that practically begs you to start with a Sangria Roja (which I did, obviously).
From there, it was an all-out tapas feast. Plump and juicy scallops, a knockout squid ink ‘Arroz Negro’ paella with just-caught seafood, and the pièce de résistance: a 28-day dry-aged Txuleta steak, grilled and smoked to perfection. I inhaled plates of Patatas Bravas Rausell, and wrapped things up with sublime desserts and a round of cocktails. Safe to say, I’m already plotting my return…
Must-try: Japanese Scallop Ajoblanco, Squid Ink ‘Arroz Negro’ Paella, Beef 28 Days Dry-Aged ‘Txuleta’, Patatas Bravas Rausell
How much: Tapas plates start from IDR 40,000++

Opening Hours: Daily from 6pm
2. Mosto – best wine bar & bistro
Indonesia’s first natural wine bar with European neo-bistro plates and 70+ low-intervention wines.
If you love natural wines as much as I do, then let me point you to Mosto in Berawa. It’s Indonesia’s first natural wine bar, with one of best wine lists in Canggu (and maybe even Bali!). Mosto’s sommelier is Nicolas Lento, and he’s hand-selected more than 70 low-intervention labels from small producers around the world.
The highly-trained team go above and beyond here to find your perfect pour. If you’ve been in Bali long enough, you’ll know it’s not easy to find this level of wine knowledge here. Beverage Director Denny Bakiev also raises the bar with his experimental, zero-waste cocktails that are worth crossing the Canggu shortcut for. The Yuzu Gimlet is simply sensational.
All of this, and that’s before I even mention the main draw here, which is the food. The menu is the clever work of Chef Lorenzo De Petris, and it’s driven by local, bistro-inspired small plates designed to share over good conversation and a great bottle of wine. My go-tos include the crostini with shoyu burnt butter, the koji-marinated chicken schnitzel, and the tagliolini in a sambal arrabbiata. Whatever you choose, you’ll be whisked away to a European neo-bistro with just one bite.
Must-try: Tagliolini Arrabbiata, Koji-Marinated Chicken Schnitzel, Sticky Toffee Pudding.
How much: Mains start from IDR 100,000++

3. Muda By/Suka – best for dinner & drinks
Asian fusion dining with European twist, craft cocktails and a lively Canggu vibe.
If you’re after bold Asian flavours in Canggu, Muda By/Suka deserves a spot on your list. If you ask me, it’s easily one of Bali’s best Asian restaurants, with a clever mix of Southeast Asian flavours and European ingredients. The two-storey set-up is smart too: downstairs is a traditional Balinese joglo with a slick onyx cocktail bar. Upstairs is where you’ll want to be at sunset, with Japanese-inspired cocktails and loungey jazz. It feels like Canggu, but with a little extra polish.
Now, about that menu. You can order à la carte (the burrata with kimchi is wildy delicious), but if you want the full experience, go for the “Feed Me” tasting menu. Highlights for me were the red snapper kinilaw ceviche, the fragrant Thai green curry, and the smoky miso-glazed charcoal chicken. And yes, dessert is absolutely worth saving space for.
It’s this mix of food, cocktails and atmosphere that makes Muda By/Suka stand out in Canggu’s crowded dining scene. And it’s the perfect place for anyone who thinks they’ve “done” Bali dining.
Must-try: Burrata & Kimchi, Kinilaw Ceviche, Thai Green Curry, Miso Glazed Charcoal Chicken.
How much: Large plates start from IDR 160,000++

4. The Avocado Factory – best for brunch
Bali’s first avocado café serving avocado in everything from pancakes to poke bowls.
If it was up to me, I’d eat avocado all day, every day, smothered on everything. Avocado on toast, avocado in my smoothie bowl, and of course, stuffed into a burger. Well, The Avocado Factory has gone and done exactly that. They’re as mad about nature’s green gift as I am, giving my morning go-to the recognition it deserves. It’s Bali’s first avocado bar, and everything on the menu features local avocados from Bali and Java.
Try the Avo Pancakes for brekkie, the egg souffle in a brioche for lunch (the kimchi mayo gives it an extra kick!), and finish it all off with a health shot and epic coffee. And psst – the avo-inspired dinners here are just as impressive!
Must-try: Avocado Pancakes, Poke Bowl, Scrambled & Braised Chilli Oxtail.

5. Sababa – best for sharing
Middle Eastern mezze and Levantine grills perfect for sharing.
This one is a lesser known gem that I love. Sababa is an awesome little eatery in Berawa that serves Middle Eastern cuisine, perfect for sharing. In fact, I often order a selection on the menu and share the lot. It’s warm and cosy with East Mediterranean interiors, scented by the region’s famous spices sizzling in the kitchen. Think classic kefta, falafels and shakshuka, or my fave, the grilled calamari on creamy babaganoush. You won’t want to miss the Levantine grilled meats either. Each dish is served family-style (or on grazing mezze plates), making it great for groups of friends. I love the list of yummy desserts and cocktails too, all given a Middle Eastern twist.
Must-try: Lamb Kefta, Falafel Lavosh Rolls, Levantine Grilled Meat

6. BAKED.
Artisanal sourdough, giant croissants and indulgent brunch staples across Canggu and beyond.
If you love brunch as much as I do, then BAKED is a must. I’ve tried its menu in Berawa, Pererenan and Uluwatu, and I have to say, they never disappoint. Their artisanal sourdough is unsurprisingly the star – crunchy on the outside, warm and soft inside, and perfect with creamy poached eggs. The croissants? Buttery, flaky, and impressively oversized. You’ll also find indulgent sweet treats like Pastel De Nata and Pistachio Cube, too. And I’d never leave without grabbing a loaf to-go from BAKED’s artisanal bakery…

7. Milk & Madu
Iconic Canggu café with legendary brunches, wood-fired pizzas and buzzing family vibes.
There’s a reason why everyone loves Milk & Madu (myself included!). It’s long been everyone’s go-to for a laid-back brunch with consistently great food. With two Canggu cafes in Berawa and Batu Bolong, this chilled spot serves up everything I like to eat for brunch: fluffy pancakes, gooey poached eggs, generous smoothie and salad bowls, to name a few. Topping it all off, punchy brews of Beans by The Brotherhood. The hearty lunches and wood-fired pizzas will also fill you up until your next visit. Families, you’ll love the kid’s menu, and the outdoor playground too!

8. Crate Café
Hipster breakfast hub with cool industrial interiors and fast service.
This rad, hipster coffee spot is a Canggu institution, drawing in the coolest crowds day-in and day-out. Crate Cafe is tucked away just off Batu Bolong, but I could easily spot its industrial-chic design, bold murals, and the steady stream of cafe lovers queuing up each morning. Don’t worry though, the service is lightning-fast, so I never had to wait long for my perfectly brewed coffee and signature breakfast plates.

9. Sensorium Bali
Innovative Australian-Asian brunch spot serving multi-sensory, boundary-pushing dishes.
Sensorium Bali is an ‘elevated brunch restaurant’ and a multi-sensory cafe that promises to activate, challenge and satisfy all five senses. I won’t spoil the full experience for you here, but expect modern Australian cuisine with an Asian twist. Think boundary-pushing creations like multiple textures of mushrooms in one plate, ramen for brunch ramen with 62-degree sous vide egg, and vibrant smashed avocado on flaky, buttery prata with cassava chips on the side. Yup, this isn’t your typical brunch cafe…
Must-try: Textural of Mushrooms, Avocado on Prata, Brunch Ramen
How much: Brunch starts from IDR 49,000++
Address: Jl Pantai Batu Mejan, Canggu
Opening Hours: Daily from 9am

Australian-inspired café with artisanal ingredients, slow mornings and local produce.
Neighbourhood Food is an Australian-inspired café that honours top-notch local produce. This cosy cafe is perfect for slow mornings, relaxing brunches, and afternoon bites, all made with locally sourced, artisanal ingredients.
I’ve tried and tested the Neighbourhood’s long-running staple: The Hood Benedict. It’s made of confit potato hash, soft eggs, jalapeño hollandaise, and I chose to top it off with smoked salmon. And trust me, one visit won’t be enough, especially since there are two Neighbourhood Food cafes in Canggu!

11. Nüde
Fresh, wholesome breakfasts and bowls with vegan options and breezy, welcoming interiors.
Every visit to Nüde feels like I’m catching up with an old friend. This popular Canggu cafe is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly cool. It now has three locations in Canggu, with the busiest (and original address) being in Berawa, just up the road from the beach.
The menu is all about wholesome and easygoing breakfasts and lunches, and there’s plenty of vegan and vegetarian options too. Whatever you choose, it’ll be hella fresh and flavourful. It’s got some of my favourite poke bowls in Bali, and even an afternoon cocktail or coffee. I’m a big fan of their breezy interiors which always invites me to make myself at home, and the friendly staff who greets everyone with the biggest smile.

Japanese-inspired tea house with farm-to-table menus, eco-friendly practices and organic groceries.
With locations in both Berawa and Pererenan, you’ll need to visit both Bokashi outlets to get a taste of its different specialities. Whichever you visit, Bokashi is a Japanese-inspired tea house that blends refined Japanese flavours with Indonesian soul.
I’ll admit, the stunning interiors and the charming garden setting were what drew me in. But, I stayed because of its commitment to sustainability, repurposing waste and championing eco-friendly practices.
Bokashi’s dishes are crafted with fresh produce from their own LYD Organic farm, and the menus change based on what’s in season. And a visit here isn’t complete without stocking up on Bokashi’s own brand of sustainable goodies from their organic grocery store.

The Best Restaurants In Canggu For Dinner & Date Night
13. Numero Quattro
Contemporary Italian dining with handmade pasta and lounge vibes.
The second I stepped inside Numero Quattro, I felt like I wasn’t even in Bali. This Italian and European-inspired restaurant in Echo Beach is from the same masterminds behind a handful of Bali’s very best restaurants (The Lawn, Times Beach Warung and Skool Kitchen, to name a few).
So with a rad DJ spinning loungey tunes in the background, I tucked into insanely good pasta, fresh oysters and some grilled specialties. I can confirm that their truffle fettuccine is as indulgent as it sounds, as are the creamy pumpkin risotto and the Wagyu tartare. Word on the street is Chef Joel Bennetts’ oxtail lasagne is also a must-try. As for dessert? I went with the vanilla bean semi-fredo with limoncello granita, which paired perfectly with Numero Quattro’s cocktail.

14. Shelter Pererenan
Mediterranean-Middle Eastern fusion in a romantic garden setting.
Hidden amongst lush tropical plants, Shelter Pererenan is as gorgeous as it is delicious. This Mediterranean and Middle Eastern inspired restaurant is easily one of the best in Canggu. It’s super romantic with candlelit tables, but also buzzing and social, with long communal tables beneath its joglo-style structure, and some low-slung sofas in the garden.
I always start with the hummus and smoky babaganoush, which I mop up with the warm, house-baked flatbread. The torched scallops, BBQ octopus and grilled lamb kofta come next — all perfectly spiced and impossibly tender. Each dish is best shared, so my table is always filled with a few starters and mains, and a round of cocktails. And trust me, you cannot leave without trying the ‘wood-roasted chocolate’ dessert – I’ve even tripped to Canggu to order this alone!

15. Skool Kitchen
Charcoal-kissed dishes, fiery cocktails and sunset views above one of Canggu’s most iconic beach clubs.
Backed by some of Bali’s biggest foodie names, and sitting above The Lawn (AKA Canggu’s hottest beachfront destination), Skool Kitchen is where fire meets finesse. Every dish is kissed by charcoal flames, bringing a primal edge to modern dining. The smoked octopus escabeche with pickled cucumber is a must-try, as is the glazed Wagyu short rib with harissa. Even the cocktails get a fiery twist – my top pick is the Burnt Lemon Daiquiri. I chose to sit at the chef’s counter to watch the action in the open kitchen, but you really can’t go wrong with any of the tables on the deck. You’ll score a front-row seat to a blazing Bali sunset, perched above the waves…
Must-try: Fireplace Pumpkin, Smoked Octopus Escabeche, Glazed Wagyu Short Ribs

16. Luma
Mediterranean fine dining with Southern European traditions and Indonesian ingredients.
A Mediterranean showstopper, Luma is the work of two award-winning chefs: Cameron Emirali of 10 Greek Street in London, and Kieran Morland of Sangsaka in Seminyak. Arguably one of Bali’s most aesthetically breathtaking restaurants, the ever-changing menu is just as impressive. It combines elements of Southern Europe’s cooking traditions with Indonesia’s indigenous ingredients.
The jewel in the crown is the charcoal grill and custom-made wood-fire oven, taking centre stage in the dazzling Luma kitchen. Unsurprisingly so, the carefully curated wine list is second-to-none, while the cocktail list follows the menu’s lead with local twists on the classics.

Asian Boteco dining by Chef Will Meyrick with tapas plates, sushi and signature cocktails.
Billy Ho is a sophisticated Asian Boteco brought to us by the famed Chef Will Meyrick. True to form, Will infuses the distinct flavours of Asia into one delish menu, all centred around small and large plates to share.
Start with the flame-torched Salmon Tornado with salted egg yolk, and the grilled Hokkaido scallop with miso butter and yuzu kosho. Move on to the red-glaze lamb shoulder, or my fave, the Japanese saffron risotto with chilli prawns and kombu butter. Best bit is, there are even special menus for vegan and gluten-free diets.
And if you swing by on a weekend, you can get a taste of it all with Billy Ho’s Asian-inspired brunch. Think dim sum, sushi and so much more. It goes without saying that the house-crafted cocktails and fine wines are not to be missed either…

For an evening in Paris complete with live jazz and fine French wines, head to Lulu Bistrot on Batu Bolong. The sun-soaked terrace is perfect for an early apéritif, before tasting French-inspired cuisine par excellence in the most sophisticated dining room I’ve been to in Canggu.
Because everything on the menu is best shared, I ordered a selection to try them all. You really can’t go wrong with any of the dishes, since the top-notch produce and recipes all honour fine French cooking. Think roasted oysters in roquefort butter, country-style terrine, and lamb bourguignon. And of course, what’s an evening in Paris without a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon?

Think charcoal-roasted chicken, red snapper tartare, and a banoffee soufflé with coconut gelato. And the drinks?

Latin American fusion with organic local produce and a rooftop cocktail bar.
Blending Latin American flavours and European influences, Santanera is a refined, farm-to-table dining experience in the heart of Canggu. It drew me in simply for its triple-height ceilings, leather lounges, marble tabletops and a gorgeous spiral staircase, all lit with natural lighting from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Santanera champions organic, locally sourced produce, so obviously the food made me stay. Graze all day on smoked, marinated, and whipped delicacies, which went perfectly with sommelier-selected wine from their own cellar. And I couldn’t leave without heading up to the stylish rooftop bar for a pre-dinner sunset aperitivo, and a vibey nightcap.

Bold Mexican cuisine with handmade tortillas and mezcal margaritas in Pererenan.
You simply can’t miss Origen – it’s one of the most breathtaking restaurants in Canggu. And just as bold as its interiors is its vibrant Mexican food, which uses Bali’s freshest ingredients and authentic Mexican spices. I knew the food would be legit since they handmake their own corn tortillas, but it exceeded my expectations.
Try the perfectly seared tuna tostadas, and the slow-cooked beef birria with melted mozzarella. The snapper ceviche is also a winner, while the golden, cinnamon-dusted churros are downright addictive. And of course, no Mexican feast would be complete without a mezcal margarita…

There’s no place I’d rather be than Zali for a modern Levantine dining experience in Bali. This breezy restaurant sits right on Pererenan’s main street, so it’s a great spot to watch the world go by, while grazing on authentic Lebanese cuisine. The concept is inspired by a Lebanese grandmother’s home recipes, with every dish telling a story of tradition and passion.
I can’t say no to the crispy falafel saj, the roasted chicken musakhan, and the zesty tabbouleh salad. And of course, the bountiful mezze platters. Think creamy hummus, smoky babaganoush, and rich cauliflower moutabbal.

Low-and-slow barbecue dining by the firepit with sunset rice field views and smoky flavours.
Aptly named, Smoke specialises in all things smokey, barbecued and down right delicious. Seafood, chicken, pork, beef, and even mushrooms and tempeh, you name it, they’ve mastered the art of low and slow cooking (with some meats cooked for over 18 hours!). Dining here is an experience, a camping experience to be exact. The outdoor tent houses Smoke’s dining area, where you can get cosy by the glowing, campfire-style fire pit which takes centre stage.
While everything here is best shared with a group of friends or family, it’s also great for couples. It’s set in the rice fields, so at sunset, it gleams a golden glow, just like the embers of the piping charcoal grill…

I’m talking shiitake potstickers with truffle mirin, creamy burrata with house-made roti, and spicy chilled Szechuan noodles with “Strange Flavor” sauce.
And let’s not forget the equally innovative cocktails. The Love You Later Martini with green mango is my top pick, closely followed by the Saints of Sanchez, with a neat kick of Korean gochujang.

Vibrant vegan café with inventive plant-based dishes.
You won’t find any “boring” salads at I Am Vegan Babe. Instead, this bright pink buzzing café serves up a menu that even my carnivorous friends dream of. Think chunky club sandwiches stuffed with plant-based “turkey”, and you-won’t-believe-it’s-not-bacon fake-on, with creamy vegannaise. The Buffalo Chik Wing Burger is another hearty hit, not to mention the cabinet of vegan cakes, which takes centre stage within the cafe’s tropi-chic interiors.

Toes-in-the-sand vibes meet sublime food and cocktails at Times Beach Warung. It’s Canggu’s open-air beachfront cafe by the same peeps who gave us The Lawn. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve grazed on yummy breakfast and brunch staples, or shared beach snacks and bites with a few rounds of cold beers and cocktails for dinner. Unsurprisingly so, sunset time is when the good vibes really ramp up, so you’ll need to arrive early to secure your spot…
