There are hundreds of Restaurants offering Indonesian cuisine including dishes such as Nasi Goreng (fried rice), Mi Goreng (fried noodles), Satay Ayam (chicken skewers), Babi Guling (roast pork dish) and Nasi Campur (mixed rice). To name a few!

Each restaurant has their own spin on these famous meals and we highly recomened you try them over and over.

Warungs

The word Warung translates to local eatery and these establishments can be seen all over Canggu. They vary in offerings but the main types are: a menu you can order from like a traditional restaurant, or our favourite: a buffet style where you can pick as many dishes as you want and try a little bit of everything.

The dishes served in warungs are always fresh and local and taste amazing! The common dishes you might see will be fried rice, fried noodles, rendang, fried vegetables and spicy curries. As well as fried accompaniments like chicken wings, corn fritters or spicy omelettes. 

Our top pick for local Warungs is Mamas!

Western Food

If you have cravings from your home town then Canggu also has some great Western restaurants including Greek, Italian, Burgers and even Turkish Kebabs. If you want to save money when eating out then make the most of the restaurant’s deals and offers; some have happy hours on food and drink or special nights where food is discounted – some even half price on main meals.

Our top picks – 

Naked burgers

Kebab Brothers

Street Food

If you are looking for a small snack whilst out and about then grabbing something from a street food vendor is an affordable way to eat in Canggu. Fried chicken or fried tempeh is the most common street food sold and is crispy and delicious, plus we love the fresh grilled corn that you can find near the beaches. To find the best street food we highly recommend following the locals; anywhere with locals sitting outside eating or with a long queue is sure to be a great place.

Some have amazing traditional Indonesian coffee like the java brew while others offer delightful and exotic teas. If you find yourself with an afternoon and in need of a kick then there are many places to sit down and enjoy the atmosphere of Canggu.

Vegetarian & Vegan Food

Canggu is a global hub for fresh and healthy food including a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. Indonesian food in itself is filled with delicious vegetarian dishes such as fried tempeh or jackfruit curry, so even in a local place you will find a vegetarian option. And there are many more western restaurants either with vegan dishes or entire menus.

Desserts

If you are craving something maybe a little sweet then there are plenty of local Bali desserts to try. They include Es Campur: a jelly and coconutty pudding with ice inside which is a surprising and refreshing treat. You should also try Martabak: a stuffed pancake or pan-fried bread with sweet spread eg. nutella or condensed milk. And a common favoroutie found around Canggu is banana pancakes, some restaurants will give you these as a free dessert which is a lovely gesture.
