40 Best Restaurants in Canggu (2026): Berawa, Batu Bolong & Pererenan

Every dish has an avocado twist at The Avocado Factory, a cheerful all-day cafe that opened in 2018 and now sits in a bigger home on Batu Mejan, between Batu Bolong and Echo Beach. There is an air-conditioned room inside and breezy tables outside, and it stays open until 11 PM, so it works for dinner as well as brunch.

In the morning, order the Avo Steak & Egg or the Truffle Benedict. In the evening the menu turns heartier, with Roasted Honey Chicken, slow-cooked lamb shank and hamachi crudo.

Only 11 guests sit at the counter of SHUN Omakase Counter, tucked inside The Komu Hotel on Jalan Pantai Berawa. Chef Mark Jeremie Oliver and his team cook in front of you, pairing Edomae technique with fish flown in from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market.

The seasonal menu runs to 13 or 18 courses and changes with the catch. Expect pristine bluefin tuna, dry-aged fish, A5 Miyazaki wagyu and a rich uni, negi and toro bite. It is the place in Canggu for an anniversary, a honeymoon dinner or anyone who wants Japan’s best seafood without the flight.

Right on Pererenan Beach, Hippie Fish is a multi-level seafood restaurant with sea views from every floor and a rooftop bar that fills up as the sun goes down. Choose a breezy terrace table or the cool air-conditioned dining room.

The Mediterranean menu leans on the day’s catch. Start with tuna crudo and grilled octopus, then share the Octopus Tortelloni or the Fish Market Package. Stay on the rooftop afterwards for cocktails. It is an easy pick for a sunset dinner with friends, a date or visiting family.

The name comes from carnivore, and Vore Grillhouse and Lounge on Jalan Pantai Berawa is built for meat lovers. The low-lit dining room is lined in velvet, with the open kitchen and its grill as the stage and an intimate lounge bar for after-dinner drinks.

The star is the 20-day dry-aged Rib Eye on the Bone, a 750 g cut served with red wine jus and scorched bourbon butter. Order the Royal Surf & Turf for two, or the 15-Layer Beef Lasagna if you’d rather not have steak, and finish with burnt Basque cheesecake.

Sababa means awesome in Arabic slang, and Sababa on Jalan Pantai Berawa lives up to it with generous Middle Eastern sharing food in a warm, earthy dining room. It suits big groups as well as couples, and the banquet menus make ordering easy.

Start with a spread of mezze and homemade labneh, then share the chicken shawarma, the braised lamb shank or the Levantine mixed grill. Vegans are well looked after with falafel and plant-based versions of the classics. Save room for dessert, which arrives as a show on the table, and try a Sumac Gimlet from the cocktail list.

Set in a former villa on Batu Bolong Beach Road, Luma Bali feels like the Mediterranean coast, with marble mosaic floors, white arches, a front terrace, an open kitchen and a sunken lounge. Founders Cameron Emirali and Kieran Morland cook Southern European food over a custom wood-fired hearth, using produce from Bali and nearby islands.

The menu moves with the season, but look for hand-rolled maltagliati with crab, squid and prawns, beef cheek cannelloni with taleggio, and octopus with beans and salsa verde. For a long night, the chef’s choice menu starts at IDR 850,000.

Polished concrete, pale wood and plenty of light set the scene at Sensorium Bali, a chef-led brunch spot on Batu Mejan where modern Australian cooking meets Asian flavours. It is one of the most creative daytime menus in Canggu, and the room is calm even when the queue is long.

The dish everyone orders is the Brunch Dry Ramen, with braised minced beef, edamame, cucumber slaw and furikake. The crunchy beef bulgogi quesadilla and the Textural of Mushrooms with a slow-cooked egg and dark rye are close behind, and the pancakes are a sweet alternative.

On the ground floor of Holiday Inn Resort Bali Canggu on Batu Bolong Beach Road, Roomah Canggu is a spacious, high-ceilinged all-day restaurant serving Indonesian, Asian and international dishes from early breakfast to late dinner.

Breakfast is the big draw: a buffet plus unlimited à la carte plates, from eggs Benedict to Shanghai chicken porridge. Later in the day, order the Nasi Goreng Kampoeng Nelayan, a spicy Laksa Sumatera or Tom Yum Talay. Families like it for the relaxed pace and attentive service, and non-guests are welcome.

Formerly Mason, MASONRY Canggu is now the MASONRY Grill & Bar on Batu Bolong Beach Road, a cosy, good-looking room that works as well for a long lunch as for a polished dinner. A new steakhouse, CHOP HOUSE, has opened behind the courtyard.

The kitchen is built around wood fire and charcoal, with a Mediterranean accent. Share the woodfired flatbread to start, then order the charcoal chicken or a Stockyard ribeye. The staff know the wine list well and will help with pairings, and the cookie for dessert has its own fan club.

Dim, moody and usually full, Meimei on Batu Bolong Beach Road cooks modern Asian food over wood fire and charcoal, with Indonesian ingredients at its heart. Executive Chef Yudha Permana runs the open kitchen, and the bar pours Indonesian-inspired cocktails and natural wines until 2 AM.

Chef-founder Andrew Walsh, who first opened CURE in Singapore, brought the restaurant to the beach at Regent Bali Canggu in 2026. CURE Bali has an ocean-view dining room and a seaside terrace for sunset, plus Bar Nua for cocktails before or after dinner.

The modern European cooking with Asian touches is made for sharing. Order kombu-cured Hokkaido scallop with truffle and ponzu, the giant river prawn with prawn-head tom yum bisque and roasted aged duck with black sambal, plus duck-fat potatoes on the side. For a proposal or anniversary, the Seaside Romantic Dinner starts at IDR 1,000,000++ per person.

Brown leather banquettes, herringbone floors and marble tables give Santanera on Jalan Tanah Barak a warm, grown-up feel, and a spiral staircase leads to La Terraza, a rooftop bar for sunset drinks before dinner.

The menu mixes Latin American flavours with European technique and good local produce, and it is built for sharing. Start with a ceviche, then order the beef cheek ravioli, the octopus and the duck breast. It is a favourite for anniversaries and birthdays, and the rooftop makes it easy to turn dinner into a whole evening.

Dinner at BELLA Canggu on Jalan Pantai Berawa starts as a stylish meal and ends as a party, with a DJ taking over as the night goes on. The kitchen cooks modern Turkish and Anatolian food with Mediterranean flair and seasonal Bali produce.

Share the chargrilled octopus and Turkish dumplings with tomato sauce, thick yoghurt, brown butter and pistachio, then the slow-cooked lamb shoulder. Finish with baklava and an ‘It Was All A Dream’ cocktail. It is a great choice for birthdays and groups who want dinner and a night out in one place.

Balinese chef Wayan cooks the food he grew up with at HOME by Chef Wayan on Jalan Pantai Pererenan, giving his mother’s recipes a modern, refined touch. It is one of the best places in Canggu to taste real Balinese flavour, with separate lunch and dinner menus and plenty for vegetarians and vegans.

Try the Rujak Ikan, the Ayam Srosop and Ledok Nusa with sweet corn, bonito tuna, sambal goreng and kemangi oil, with a glass of homemade kombucha. The set menus are good value, and tables are often fully booked, so reserve ahead.

Fire is the centrepiece at Shelter Pererenan, a dramatic restaurant on Jalan Pantai Pererenan where Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavours meet Balinese produce. Most dishes pass through the wood-fired oven or the grill, and the room is big, buzzy and built for groups.

Order the wood-roasted moon scallops with chilli, lemon butter and sumac, a stone-baked za’atar flatbread and the lamb kofta, then share a black Angus ribeye. Fattoush and grilled halloumi keep things fresh, and the cocktails and desserts are worth staying for. Book the chef’s table for a front-row seat.

For a proper sit-down Indonesian meal, head to Ulekan Berawa, set in a traditional joglo with batik details and the feel of a family home. The menu travels the archipelago, from Padang to Java and Bali, with no MSG, organic Balinese rice and satay cooked over rambutan and coffee wood.

Order the Rendang Sapi (IDR 170,000), the Balinese crispy duck Bebek Goreng with assorted sambals and Sate Ayam Madura. First-timers should book the Ulekan Experience: starter, main, rice, side, sambal and dessert for IDR 350,000 per person.

Inside a boutique hotel in Pererenan, Bar Vera is a 65-seat bistro and wine bar of terracotta, wood and stone, with an open kitchen in full view. The cooking pairs French technique with local produce, and the list leans towards European wines.

Start at the bar with a martini, perhaps the new dirty made with wagyu-fat-washed gin. Then share the beef tartare with truffle and garlic chips, a whole grouper cooked in the coals with beurre blanc and giant Papuan prawns in brown butter. It is the kind of place you come for one drink and stay for dinner.

From the founders of Milk & Madu, Studio Pepe in Berawa is a cheerful Italian trattoria with Campari umbrellas at the door, tiled communal tables and a wood-fired kitchen. The idea is simple: Italian food made for sharing, for long lunches, aperitivo and lively dinners.

Tear into the wood-fired puffbread, then share the beef cheek lasagna and a carbonara pizzetta with guanciale and egg yolk. The Studio Tiramisu is a must. At lunch, the Three Martini Lunch gives you a third martini free when you buy two.

With its mid-century, spy-film interiors and a terrace made for long afternoon drinks, Longtime on Jalan Pantai Berawa is one of the most fun restaurants in Canggu. Executive Chef Tyler Preston cooks punchy modern Asian food drawing on Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese and Malay flavours.

Order the Curious Burrata with chilli crunch and house-made roti, the Malay Fried Chicken with sambal mayo and the Crispy Half Duck in tangerine master stock. Come for the bottomless yum cha lunch, served daily from 12 PM to 4 PM, or stay late for cocktails.

A short walk from the beach on Batu Bolong Beach Road, Billy Ho is a modern Japanese restaurant and cocktail bar from chef Will Meyrick, with dark timber, warm bronze, soft lighting and long communal tables. The menu takes in sushi, dim sum, robata skewers, ramen and big plates to share.

Named after the freshly pressed grape juice that starts the winemaking process, Mosto was Indonesia’s first natural wine bar, and it is still one of the best places in Canggu to drink well. The 70-seat room on Jalan Pantai Berawa is relaxed and vaguely European, with monochrome furniture and good music.

The list of natural and classic wines is the reason to come, and the friendly floor staff are happy to guide you. Pair a bottle with the modern European sharing plates, and look out for guest-chef collaborations. Solo diners can take a seat at the bar.

Dinner at Sa’Mesa Canggu is one long table, one seating and one shared menu, just like a big Italian family meal. Guests who arrive as strangers sit side by side, and the dishes keep coming to the centre of the table for around two hours.

Expect more than 18 courses of traditional Italian cooking, from antipasti and pasta to hearty mains and dessert, followed by a round of limoncello. The mood is fun and social, so it is perfect for birthdays, groups and solo travellers who want to meet people.

The sister of Bartolo in Uluwatu, Lulu Bistrot on Batu Bolong Beach Road is a French bistro and bar with a dash of Indonesian nostalgia, a wood-fired grill and a cosy, romantic room. Six seats at the Chef’s Counter look straight into the kitchen.

Start with onde-onde croquettes with garlic aioli and jamón serrano, then go for the Creole risotto with grilled octopus and nduja butter or steak frites with wagyu bavette and sauce poivre. The four-course Chef’s Counter tasting menu is IDR 850,000++ per person, and a Lulu French Martini is the right way to start.

Inside the Desa Kitsuné lifestyle village, Ina Ré is a large, handsome restaurant of woven Balinese materials, a bar under a grill hood and a bamboo-roofed courtyard terrace. Chilean executive chef Cristian Encina cooks Mediterranean food with South American street-food influences and a few Indonesian twists.

Paella is the signature: share the seafood paella valenciana or the Sumatra rendang paella with braised beef short rib. Add a classico ceviche and, for a big table, the wood-fired tomahawk. Order a La Luna Spritz with guava and rosé to start.

Few dining rooms in Bali have a story like Ji Terrace by the Sea. It sits in a 1706 Chinese temple that Hotel Tugu rescued from ruins in Java and rebuilt on Batu Bolong Beach, and its rooftop terrace and long teak bar give 180-degree views over the Indian Ocean.

The Japanese menu suits sunset grazing. Order the Dragon of Ji maki with prawn tempura, the Tic Tac Toe platter of nine signature nigiri and Hotatekai nigiri topped with scallop and sambal matah. Pair them with a smoking Coco Sexo or a Tugu Gin & Tea.

Close to Berawa Beach, 12 Kitchen & Wine runs from breakfast to midnight, with terrazzo floors, green chairs, wood-slat walls and a garden of tropical planting. Brunch is relaxed, and by evening it turns into a smart restaurant and wine bar with a charcoal grill.

At dinner, start with local oysters at IDR 20,000 each, then order the grilled ocean octopus with smoked potato and yuzu kosho or a premium steak. Leave room for the 12 Lava Tiramizu with pistachio and matcha. Mussel pots and Indonesian classics round out the menu.

For some of the freshest sushi in Canggu, book a table at Indigo on Jalan Pantai Berawa. Since 2017 this refined Japanese restaurant, led by Japanese chef Morita Shigehiko, has served contemporary Japanese cooking with a light European touch, using top ingredients flown in from Japan.

The signature is the Black Cod Saikyo Yaki, glazed with miso and served with turnip and almond. Add toro sushi and the tuna tartare, or leave it to the chef with the omakase. The set lunch is a good-value way to try it.

A family-run French warung on Jalan Pantai Berawa, Warung Gouthe feels like eating in a friend’s backyard in the French countryside. The cooking is homemade and unfussy, and the menu covers brunch, steaks and its famous skewers.

Order the brochettes of grilled meat or fish and choose your sauce, from barbecue, peanut or honey mustard to Balinese bumbu genep. Add a steak or a French-style brunch plate if you come earlier in the day. It gets busy at lunch and dinner, so come mid-afternoon if you want to skip the wait.

A cosy Italian bistro on Jalan Pemelisan Agung in Berawa, Riviera Bistro is all about comfort food and good wine. The outdoor dining room is relaxed enough for a weeknight pasta and smart enough for a celebration.

Order the hand-cut pappardelle with slipper lobster, crab, tomato and mint ragù, and the sea bream crudo with orange and caviar, then finish with a classic tiramisu. The drinks list covers wines from around the world, top-shelf spirits and specialty cocktails, and Saturday nights bring the Privé party.

Casual, fast and fair on the wallet, TYGR Sushi on Jalan Pantai Berawa is the go-to for a quick Japanese fix. Hand rolls are made to order at the sushi bar, so sit at the counter and watch the chefs work.

Order a few just-made hand rolls and the aptly named Fireball, with spicy tuna, cream cheese, cucumber and TYGR hot sauce. Poke bowls, gyoza and a rich tonkotsu ramen fill out the menu. It is an easy lunch, a good-value dinner and a reliable option for delivery.

Tucked away on Jalan Munduk Kedungu in Pererenan, Little Frenchie is a stylish, minimalist bistro that serves French classics from brunch to dinner. It is lively without being loud, which makes it as good for a date as for a long weekend brunch.

Mornings are for a fluffy French omelette or Lobster Benny with a mimosa. At dinner, order steak frites, French onion soup or tartare de boeuf, and finish with crème brûlée or profiteroles. A Midnight in Marseille cocktail is the perfect nightcap.

From the team behind Zest in Ubud, Mostly on Jalan Pantai Pererenan is a warm, airy restaurant and bar serving Asian-inspired bistronomy from brunch to dinner. Beautiful lighting and a good soundtrack make it a relaxed date-night spot, and the staff handle allergies well.

Order the signature Jack Tuna sushi rolls and a plate of dumplings to share, or come earlier for the Bali Benedict and duck egg shakshuka. The mushroom ramen is a favourite with vegetarians, and the cocktails make it easy to linger.

A homey, no-frills Thai restaurant on Jalan Pantai Berawa, Anaga Restaurant is the place to go when you crave proper Thai flavours without a big bill. The vintage decor and shelves of books make it a cosy stop for lunch or a casual dinner, and portions are generous for the price.

Order a green papaya salad, a thick, nutty Panang curry with long beans and the pineapple fried rice. Save room for dessert: the Bangkok-style banana pancake and mango sticky rice are both regular favourites.

Part of chef Maria Nguyen’s MeVui family of Vietnamese restaurants, Hoi An by MeVui on Jalan Padang Linjong serves simple, satisfying Vietnamese food with a view over the rice fields. It is spacious, good value and especially pretty at sunset.

Start with fresh goi cuon spring rolls, then order a steaming bowl of pho or bun cha. A crusty banh mi or com suon, the grilled pork chop with rice, makes a heartier meal, and a Vietnamese drip coffee is the way to finish.

Busy most nights, Black Sand Brewery on Batu Bolong Beach Road is a craft brewpub run by people who love their beer. The menu explains every brew with tasting notes, alcohol levels and food pairings, so newcomers and beer geeks both feel at home.

Order a flight of the house beers, including the fruity Mango Sour, and pair it with a wholegrain pizza or something from the BBQ and steak menu. Sharing plates make it easy for groups, and the service is quick even when the room is full.

One of Canggu’s original neighbourhood hangouts, Milk & Madu has been feeding locals and families since 2014. The Berawa restaurant is Australian-style and easy-going, with a huge all-day menu, cocktails and a separate kids’ playground, so parents can actually enjoy their meal.

Breakfast is a big deal here, from bowls to sandwiches, but the wood-fired pizza is what keeps people coming back at night. Add the lasagna for the table and finish with carrot cake or Anzac apple crumble.

From the team behind Suka Espresso, LUSA Bistro on Jalan Pantai Berawa is a specialty coffee and brunch spot by day and a bistro-meets-industrial dinner room by night, often with live music.

In the evening, start with Lombok oysters and the zesty white fish ceviche, then order the grilled beef tenderloin with black pepper sauce or the crispy pork belly with tarragon mustard jus. An Amaretto Espresso Martini is the obvious way to finish, and the berry cheesecake is worth the extra spoon.

Green tiles and soft morning light set the scene at Fold, an artisan bakery and brunch cafe on Jalan Nelayan from chef Maxime Chené. It is a slow-breakfast favourite, and families like the Lego corner for kids.

The pastries are the reason to come: try the Ugly Pain Suisse, a classic butter croissant and the playful croissant cereal. For something savoury, the salmon sourdough, avocado toast and egg dishes are all reliable, with good coffee, fresh juice, matcha and homemade gelato on the side.

Everything is plant-based at I Am Vegan Babe on Jalan Tanah Barak, a bright, tropical-chic cafe with a menu big enough to please vegans and meat-eaters alike. It runs from breakfast to dinner, with specialty coffee, matcha and protein shakes.

Start the day with French toast topped with banana, strawberry and gelato, or come later for the Club Sandwich, a Bali poke bowl or tacos. The tiramisu is a must, and grab a cinnamon roll for the road.
