Foodie Perspective - BEST Places to Eat Canggu

Foodie Perspective - BEST Places to Eat in Canggu (and places to AVOID)

5/3/2023

Canggu has plenty of trendy places to eat, in fact, the entire town is pretty trendy and cute cafes and restaurants will be around nearly every corner you look. You'll find that most places to eat in Canggu are significantly pricier than the rest of Bali, however, they're well worth it. After spending nearly a week relaxing in this beach town, we've gathered our favorite places to stop and grab a bite to eat! Not only do we full heartedly recommend that you stop at these places, but we've also included the places that we didn't really enjoy ourselves, and we recommend that you avoid.

Our Essential Travel Resources :
There are a lot of travel companies out there, but some are better than others. These are our favorite websites and resources to help you plan an incredible trip.

For flights, we recommend using WayAway or Hopper to compare the cheapest dates to travel to your destination.

Car rentals comparisons are best through Discover Cars - just make sure to bring your international driver's permit with you if you're heading somewhere international!

We always use AGODA for hotels. They have an easy-to-use platform where you can compare the best rates.

To keep cell phone service if you're traveling internationally, we always use Airalo’s easy to purchase eSIM’s (no installation required).

For fun things to do, we always recommend Viator to find the best tours in the area, otherwise Klook also does the trick, especially for tours in Asia.

Just in case, Safetywing is the insurance I always use for travel insurance.

Lastly, my packing list for your international or domestic travels.

12 Best Restaurants in Canggu

Cafe Vida - one of our favorite stops in Canggu, this place was so HEALTHY, and their entire kitchen is gluten free! we loved their smoothie bowl and "Dr. Seuss" plate (green eggs with pesto and veggies)

The Common - we found this spot due to it's proximity to our Airbnb, they had excellent tacos and nachos (we tried the fish taco and tofu tacos!) and we've heard they also have excellent margaritas

Mad Pops - a super cute vegan, coconut based ice cream shop!

Bagel It! - a delicious bagel sandwich shop with plenty of vegan options as well, we also loved the fact that each bagel purchase came with a free fresh pressed orange juice!

Heyy Juice - after being on the road for 4 full months, to say I missed my cold fresh pressed juices is an understatement - well we finally found them in this small shop! they have an endless menu of different juice options and we loved stocking up here!

Gustav Grun - we stopped here one day for a take out meal, and they were great! serving vegan bowls with a focus on soy proteins, their sauces and fresh veggies were delicious!

Nude - the cutest, small food truck serving all types of coffee right off of Canggu Beach

Ramen Hamartora - the best ramen we've ever had! (seriously!)

Beach Road by Milk and Madu - a great spot we found on the way to Canggu Beach, they had an excellent menu, including eggplant parmesan and fried cauliflower! (we've heard they also have excellent pizza!)

Monsieur Spoon - the best bakery located in town, they also had fresh pressed juices, delicious smothered toasts, and fresh baked items as well

Bali Luwak Coffee - a unique cafe located a ways out of Canggu, close to Tanah Lot - not only do they serve the infamous Luwak coffee (nicknamed the most expensive coffee in the world) but they have actual Luwaks in the cafe to pet and hang out with!

We stayed at this incredible Airbnb in central Canggu and loved it!

Places for Next Time, and Places to Avoid

Luigis Hot Pizza - a popular pizza spot, that we think is very overrated, their food was mediocre at best, and first impressions were that it was more of a bar, we would avoid it

Burgreens - another spot we would avoid, we truly weren't impressed with their vegan menu, we tried the smoothie bowl, mushroom burger & salad, and boba milk tea all of which fell short of our expectations

Gelato Secrets - if you've been on the island of Bali for more than a few days then you'll notice this spot all over, in nearly every big city, however we didn't have a great experience and to us the flavors felt a bit plain
