40 BEST CANGGU RESTAURANTS

Before we dive deeper into the information of all the restaurants, lets first have a quick overview of the best cafes and restaurants in Canggu per category. 

Best coffee in Canggu

There are plenty of coffee cafes in Canggu but after trying almost every place we have a few favourites. We like our coffee – cappuccino strong, with a smooth but predominant coffee taste when having a cappuccino. Some cafes in Canggu serve their cappuccino too milky that it almost tastes as if you’re drinking warm milk. But luckily there are enough places where you can have a delicious coffee together with food.

Best restaurants to work as Digital Nomad in Canggu

Although there are plenty of Co-working places in Canggu you can also work in some cafes and restaurants when you order food. It can be a great solution if you don’t need to work all day and just want to bring your laptop while having food in one of the cafes in Canggu. But because of the humidity and dust you might want to work in a cafe which is closed with air conditioning. So therefore below a few restaurants in Canggu with airco where you are allowed to work if you order food.

– Cafe Coach
– Wanderlust Cafe
– Hungry Laa

Best breakfast and lunch restaurants in Canggu

Cafe Coach

At Cafe Coach you can expect very high standard food with a chill vibe. The small cafe on Jalan Nelayan quickly turned out to be one of our favourite Canggu restaurants. Thanks to the delicious healthy food which is beautifully presented, comfy seating inside with air conditioning, strong coffee and tasty juices we often return to Cafe Coach. Another huge plus is the free table water and big portions of food. You really get value for your money. Besides that Cafe Coach serves their dishes with a slightly different taste which makes their menu unique to the other Canggu restaurants. And on top of that is Cafe Coach a great place for co-working, to connect with other coaches or simply read a nice book! 

Opening times Cafe Coach: 7 AM – 7 PM

Lusa by Suka

It is one of our favourite restaurants in Ubud, and of course in Canggu, along Jalan Pantai Berawa is Suka (or actually Lusa by Suka) also one of our favourites. With an extensive breakfast menu which they serve until 3 PM, great coffee and cool vibes, Lusa by Suka has the total package. The food is always good and varies from smoothie bowls, chia puddings to Avo on toast, salads, burgers, sandwiches and more. A huge plus is the (free) table water. You can also dine in at Lusa by Suka as they serve pizza, pasta, taco’s, cocktails and more. 

Opening times Lusa by Suka: 7.30 AM – 10 PM

Ruko Cafe

A lovely small cafe along Jalan Pantai Berawa with indoor seating. Great value for money with their different menu. You can either have a delicious sweet or savoury breakfast with good coffee or a great smoothie or juice. A huge plus is the free table water and that they give a certain percentage of your coffee purchase back to the children of Bali. 

Opening times Ruko Cafe: 7.30 AM – 4 PM

Doppio Cafe

Doppio has great breakfast promo deals for 55K per dish. The open space cafe along Jalan Nelayan is often packed because of the wide variety they offer which is ideal for any time of day. From smoothie bowls, to chia pudding, savoury dishes and much more. Whatever you fancy, they probably have it on their menu. For us personally the coffee could be stronger, and because the cafe is open there is lots of noise from the road coming in. Together with the loud music in the cafe it can be a bit much on the early morning. However, this totally depends if you like high energy or want to start you morning quiet and peacefully. 

Opening times Doppio Cafe: 7 AM – 5 PM

Anomali

Anomali has a breakfast and lunch menu with reasonable prices and good portions. But one thing you have to try is the Anomali coffee which is just outstanding! So strong and smooth in taste. We also loved the Almond croissant at Anomali, some of the best in Bali! You can sit in the air conditioning inside which is a huge plus as the roads in Berawa can be crazy busy. Another huge plus is that Anomali opens at 6 AM, so if you’re an early bird or surfer catching the first waves of the day, then you can grab your caffeine shot before at Anomali. 

Opening times Anomali: 6 AM – 5.30 PM

Bokashi

Bokashi is a fantastic unique concept in Canggu with Japanese influenced food and a little shop downstairs where you can buy all your seeds, herbs and organic veggies. Upstairs is a great breakfast and lunch place with beautiful Japanese-styled interior. Their menu has a great twist on the food which you can usually find in Canggu. Absolutely worth a visit if you want to try something different! 

Opening times Bokashi: 8 AM – 7 PM 

TMO coffee

With some of the best coffee in Canggu, TMO Coffee also serves great breakfast deals. For 70K you can have a coffee, choice of breakfast and a small juice. The cafe along Jalan Canggu Padang Linjong is easily overlooked but a real little gem. The small cafe doesn’t have a huge menu but what they serve is of great quality. Good smoothie bowls, great toast with Avo, mushroom, eggs and some other options. 

Opening times TMO Coffee Canggu: 7 AM – 5 PM

Woods

This beautifully designed restaurant in Pererenan kept the natural surroundings intact which is why you will see a few trees inside the restaurant. This creates a natural touch to the restaurant which is accompanied by a great selection of food and drinks for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The presentation of the dishes is next level and looks like art. With the cozy environment and kind hosts, Woods in Pererenan is a place where you will come back to.

Opening times Woods: 8 AM – 11 PM

Mimpi

With a beautiful view on the scarcerice fields in Canggu centre, Mimpi Grocery is a hidden gem. Tucked away in a quiet street along Jalan Pantai Batu Mejan, Mimpi is an artsy, urban cafe with small swimming pool, great food and cool vibes. 

Opening times Mimpi Grocery: 7 AM – 8 PM

RiZe Cafe

RiZe is another fantastic restaurant in Pererenan with great breakfast options, Indian homestyle cooking, strong coffee and chai blends. The Dosa’s are incredible, smoothie bowls very smooth and rich in taste but not too cold, but also the other dishes on the menu are worth a try. Definitely one of the Canggu restaurants where you can order anything on the menu and it will be a good choice!

Opening times RiZe: 8 AM – 4 PM

Honey

Honey is a nice, casual place in Pererenan to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. They have some unique options on their menu such as the peach ricotta toast with honey which you will find nowhere else in Canggu. Of course there are plenty of other options on Honey’s menu which you can find in more restaurants in Canggu such as Avo on toast, pancakes, salads and more. 

Opening times Honey: 7 AM – 10 PM

Wanderlust Cafe

For fresh and healthy food or protein shakes you have to go to Wanderlust Cafe in Berawa. From egg dishes to salad bowls, protein pancakes and healthy juices, at Wanderlust Cafe you can eat healthy and clean. With outdoor and indoor seating you can eventually bring your laptop to get some work done in the air-conditioned area. 

Opening times Wanderlust Cafe: 6.30 AM – 10 PM

I am Vegan Babe

Its in the name, I am Vegan Babe is a one of the beautiful vegan cafes in Bali offering a wide variety of tasty vegan food. However, they charge for the water which is pretty unusual in Canggu. If you’re vegan you will most likely find great options on their menu, but the service could be better.

Opening times I am Vegan Babe: 7 AM – 9 PM

Touché

Pererenan has quite some new, aesthetic restaurants such as Touché. This inviting restaurant with open door concept is Mediterranean inspired with a wide range of food options. We often come here for breakfast and it’s always good. Besides that, the minimalistic interior is amazing with white surfaces, wall niches and floor to ceiling black steel doors. We love the smoothie bowls but there are plenty more options than that! 

Opening times Touché: 7.30 AM – 10 PM

Motion Cafe

For your clean fitness food Motion is the answer. Along the busy Jalan Pantai Batu Bolong you will find this small but great cafe. With plenty of healthy options on the menu, you can find protein pancakes, healthy and huge salads and you can build your own meal. Absolutely amazing for people that like a big plate of healthy stuff.

Opening times Motion Cafe: 7 AM – 10 PM

Rise & Shine

With great breakfast options on their small but diverse menu, Rise and Shine is a must try. The little open concept cafe along Padang Linjong offers big portions of food for a reasonable price. Only small down side is that they are located right along the road which is quite busy on the way to Echo beach. We love the smoothie bowls and barrel rolls at Rise & Shine. This is the only cafe in Canggu where you will get so much fruit topping on your smoothie bowl. Awesome! 

Opening times Rise & Shine: 7 AM – 3 PM

Hungry Laa

This cute purple-pastel cafe is a great instagram spot with an excellent mix of Asian food with Western dishes. They serve breakfast and lunch with a varying daily menu for the Asian food. Breakfast is a great mix of western dishes such as smoothie bowls, egg dishes, shakshouka and more. Upstairs is a nice area with hip sofa’s to relax and enjoy your meal in an air-conditioned cafe.  

Opening times Hungry Laa: 8 AM – 5 PM

Brunch Club

The Brunch Club has two locations around Canggu, namely in Pererenan and Berawa. Their unique concept makes it not ‘just another cafe’ in Canggu but serves a great variety of dishes. We love the pancakes which are the most fluffy, jiggly, soufflé pancakes you can find in Canggu. Definitely worth a try if you’re craving a sweet breakfast. Great for Sunday mornings! 

Opening times Brunch Club: 8 AM – 4 PM

Urban Bites Cafe

Great cafe in Berawa that brings a Melbourne style breakfast with a Balinese twist. Great selection of varied food for an affordable price. Smoothie bowls were surprisingly good with smooth base and not too cold. Very friendly staff and overall a great little gem.

Opening times Urban Bites Cafe: 7.30 AM – 10 PM

Matcha Cafe

If you love Matcha, then this is the place to go to!Matcha is a great vegan cafe in Berawa with a wide variety of food serving breakfast, lunch and brunch. Some of the dishes are made with matcha but if you don’t fancy matcha there are still plenty of other options. We loved the smoothie bowls here, coffee could be stronger for our personal taste.

Opening times Matcha Cafe: 8 AM – 5 PM

Shady Shack

Another great vegan restaurant in Canggu with a wide variety of meals. It feels as if you’re sitting a beautiful garden with the lush and leafy surroundings in the outdoor seating area. The menu is a great mix of healthy food including smoothie bowls, egg dishes, veggie burgers and salad bowls.

Shelter Pererenan

An explosion of flavour is what you can expect at Shelter. This contemporary Middle Eastern and Mediterranean restaurant in Pererenan provides a unique fine dining experience with plenty of options. Pricier than other Canggu restaurants, but you’ll also get a different experience. The bread from the oven is unbelievable good and the dishes we had were very tasty.

Opening times Shelter Pererenan: 12 – 12

Ulekan (high standard Indonesian cuisine)

If you love Indonesian food but don’t want to eat at a local warung, then Ulekan is the place to go. This stylish restaurant serves traditional Indonesian cuisine in a relaxed and tasteful setting with great wine and cocktails. We love the Nasi Campur which is a fantastic combination of small Indonesian dishes.

Zali (Lebanese kitchen)

Zali brings the taste of Beirut to Bali! This unique restaurant serves Lebanese food which adds a great variety to all the other restaurants in Canggu serving the same kind of dishes.

The locally sourced ingredients are turned into delicious and healthy Lebanese food. Absolutely worth a try! 

Opening times Zali: 11 AM – 11 PM

Thailicious (Thai food by a Thai chef)

Whodoesn’t love Thai food?! We like to eat Thai at least once a week, so we’ve tried every Thai restaurant in Canggu. With this research we can conclude that the best and most authentic Thai food can be enjoyed at Thailicious. It says enough when you see Thai people enjoying the food as well in a Thai restaurant. The wide selection of Thai dishes instantly brings you back to Thailand. The only down side is the location which is directly along the busy Jalan Raya Canggu road. You will hear (and smell) exhausts constantly. But the further away you can sit from the main road, the better.

Opening times Thailicious: 10 AM – 9 PM

Shary Shary

This casual chique western restaurant serves great food, sharing platters, wine & exciting cocktails. We had the chicken sharing platter and it was amazing. The meat was very tasty and with enough side dishes of veggies and mashed potato.

Opening times 8 AM – 12 AM

Arte (Italian food)

There are plenty of Italian restaurants in Canggu, but after trying Arte we kept coming back. The wood fired oven sourdough pizza’s are something else. Of course it can be a personal taste how you like the crust, but the thick crust with a fluffy, sponge-like consistency of Arte pizza’s are our favourites. The atmosphere of the restaurants is very cosy and besides that they also have library where you can loan books for 50K a month!  

Opening times Arte: 11 AM – 11 PM

Smoke (great BBQ meat)

Smoke is a fancy garden restaurant concept that serves up to 18hr low and slow-cooked meats. So if you love great BBQ food, then Smoke is your place to go. The outdoor tent dining experience with slow cooked food over charcoal brings you that real smokey taste. The place to go for meat lovers! 

Opening times Smoke: 11 AM – 10 PM

Tropikale

Tropikale is an affordable casual chique restaurant in the centre of Canggu serving a wide variety of Western focussed dishes. You can have breakfast, lunch and dinner at Tropikale or combine your food with a working session on your laptop. The restaurant is spacious with comfy seating and enough sockets to charge your laptop while working. Besides that. the dishes at Tropikale are from great quality. If you’re looking for a place to have a good piece of tenderloin for an affordable price, then Tropikale is your place to go.

Opening times Tropikale: 8 AM – 10 PM

Warung Gouthe

BBQ meat on a skewer, that is basically what Warung Gouthe is about for dinner. Their brochettes are well marinate and you can choose from beef, chicken, pork, tuna and octopus. Then you can order your side dishes for which you have to pay separately. Not the most cheap ‘Warung’, you will easily pay 150K per person. But definitely nice to try once in a while. Location is a bit off along the busy road. 

Opening times Warung Gouthe: 7 AM – 11 PM
