To keep an overview and so that you know exactly where to try out which hotspots in Canggu, you will find the newest places of Canngu in this brand new overview! From healthy restaurants to trendy breakfast bars, design beach clubs and cozy coffee bars, everything can be found in Canggu!
At each hotspot you will immediately find the location on Google Maps. I also indicate whether it is an affordable place by means of euro signs next to the name of the restaurant.
Hotspots in Canggu, Bali: Delicious dining in style!
A special night ahead? An intimate dinner, something to celebrate or just fancy a culinary experience? The hotspots below are exactly what you are looking for! Note: some restaurants turn into a cool nightclub later in the evening!
Penny Lane: €€€€
The fancy Penny Lane is located in a kind of semi-covered garden that resembles a beautiful outdoor club. The card is perfect for shared dining. Go for the fries with truffle, so tasty! The roasted vegetables and of course the wine is also very tasty. Definitely not cheap but perfect for a special night out!
In 2023, Penny Lane is still a lot of fun, but it’s also very hipster.

Skool Kitchen €€€€
Skool is a new concept in Canggu: all food is “touched by fire” as they describe it. Delicious roasted food, meat, fish but also many interesting vegetarian options. The food is not the only surprising thing about this cool restaurant. Because the interior and the beautiful sea view also make this a special place in Canggu.
Skool is located above the Lawn beach club, directly on the beach. Prices are relatively high, but the quality is very good. Click here for the location of this hotspot in Canggu.
The Slow €€€€ (unfortunately anno 2023 the Slow is permanently closed)
The Slow’s menu is great! From cauliflower with a KFC flavor to great sashimi, tuna tartare and truffle potatoes. If our budget allowed, we would be here every night!
The interior of The Slow is also beautiful: Scandinavian design and modern. Don’t want to leave this place? Don’t worry, The Slow is also a hotel. Click here to book a room directly!

Mason €€€€
A simple menu with lots of cheese, meat and stone oven dishes: completely different from most restaurants in Bali and therefore a blazing success! It is therefore always busy at Mason! Reservations are therefore useful and if you have managed to get a table, then definitely order the puff pastry with spinach and homemade ricotta. Sooo delicious!

ZIN €€€
ZIN is a beautiful hotel, luxurious restaurant and a pleasant workplace all-in-one! What wonderful hours we spent here working and chilling. In addition to fast internet, the best thing about Zin is the great kitchen! For breakfast, lunch and dinner you will enjoy yourself here with tasty dishes that have a slightly different twist than you would expect.

Hotspots Canggu: Beach bars you cannot miss during your stay in Canggu!
A bit of lounging by the pool during the day or with your feet in the sand, a healthy lunch and then a fun party in the afternoon! These beach clubs are perfect for a relaxing day!
The Lawn €€€€
Right on the beach, opposite The Old Man’s is The Lawn. In this beach club with a swimming pool, a nice table setting and sun loungers, it is great to stay. Dining is very nice, but don’t expect a quiet fine-dining setting, especially in the evening. The Lawn changes into a place where you can dance until the early hours. A place where like-minds find each other and go home with a story at the end of the night.

La Brissa €€€
La Brissa used to be my favourite hotspot in Canggu! What a great place this was! This beach club is located on Echo Beach, has several swimming pools and has a lot of nice places to sit. I would call the interior pirate-chic, nets are hanging everywhere, boat masts are used as decoration and a boat has been transformed into a luxurious seating area.
La Brissa is also the best place to watch a sunset! Recommendations here are the burrata, dal bhat and the sushi!
But in 2023 La Brissa has changed a lot. It is a must to have a reservation, otherwise you won’t get in. The vibe has changed into a bit of a resort vibe… that is a pity since this was such a lovely place!

Alternative beach club €€
The name says it all. This beach club is not located on the beach but located in an alternative place. In the middle of the rice fields and in the middle of the town centre of Canggu!
Nevertheless, this is a very nice place where with a great party vibe! Every Wednesday and Saturday happy-hour is followed up by a party with live DJ. Keep in mind that the average age here is relatively young (teenagers and above). Mainly due to the associated hostel (click here) and apartments (click here).

Local cuisine in Canggu: Indonesian food!
Want to enjoy the local cuisine in Canggu? Then you are at the restaurants below!
Warung Local €€
This restaurant is simple but serves tasty and cheap Indonesian food. Because of the buffet shape, you choose a base (rice or fried rice), then you indicate whether you want meat, fish or other side dishes (tip: definitely go for the crunchy tempeh), and determine how much vegetables and sauce you take with it.
The bill is never higher than a few euros, the perfect budget meal! You can eat your food in the cosy restaurant or take it with you to the beach or to your hotel. In 2023, prices have gone up a bit, but still this is a lovely place to get a quick and sort of budget meal!

Bu Mi Warung €
Just like Local Warung, at Bu Mi you choose from a diverse buffet with all kinds of tasty local food. The prices here are slightly less transparent than at Warung Local. Here you eat well too and get value for money.

Casa Tua €€€ (previously Dandelion)
Do you want to dine a bit chicer but still eat Indonesian food? Then go for Casa Tua. This attractive restaurant is located in a garden in the middle of the rice fields. In the evening there are candles everywhere! Besides, rabbits walk around the tables sniffing for a lost carrot. The food is very tasty and quite spicy!

Brick oven pizzas with a crust that is so thin and crispy that you immediately have the idea of being in Italy instead of Bali. Fabbrica also has a wonderfully casual atmosphere. An open kitchen, friendly staff and an industrial interior.

All time favourite restaurants in Canggu
Not the newest hotspots, but places that have made Canggu what they are today. These restaurants in Canggu are the classics: stop by anyway!
Deus €€€
Everytime we get back to Canggu, we visit this place! The vibe is just great. This restaurant/motorcycle shop/clothing store/barber /tattoo shop is a pleasure and an inspirational place to be. My favourite dish here is the grilled tuna, although the salads and pizzas are not wrong either. Keep some space for the chocolate brownie, it’s great here too!
Every week there are performances and on tattoo Tuesday you can get a free tattoo (not quite my thing but a funny concept). Ries can’t resist looking at the surfboards and motorbikes that are sold here. Every time, he says he is going to buy a surfboard and motorbike. In short, definitely visit!

Crate €€€
The super-popular Crate has been around for years. Maybe this is the place where it all started here in Canggu. Delicious smoothie bowls, avocado toast and poached eggs. Crate is the place to be for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Keep in mind that there are large lines, everyone knows how to find Crate nowadays!
In 2023, Crate is just as popular as before. The coffee is also still very good, the food was a little disappointing this time.

Old Mans €€
Old Mans is the place to go for an easy pizza, coconut and a beer to end the day. This café is a famous name across Bali. Because of the relaxed no-nonsense atmosphere, this is a place where you would go anyway.
2023 update: after being closed for a really long time, Old Mans has reopened and all hot and happening again! It has been completely renovated and is really nice to visit again. During the day a perfect place to chill, and at night the place to party! On Saturdays, Old Mans also hosts the Sand Bar. This is a wonderful beach party on the sand in front of Old Mans. Think of old hits and bad R&B! The visitors are a nice mix between tourists, expats and locals!
