Cheap Eats in Canggu for Under 100K by Kata Bella

Cheap Eats in Canggu

When friends ask me, “Is Bali expensive?”, it’s not really a yes or no answer – it really depends on your lifestyle, what you like, what you need, what you’re used to…and what you eat.

I’m a local, so my diet is pretty simple: chicken and rice is already more than enough. I’m also always happy with tempe, stir-fried veggies, and rice for just around 20K a plate. But if you’re here on holiday, you might want to treat yourself – and it’s very easy to spend 500K or even 1 million per person on a nice steak or a proper indulgent dining experience.

And if you’re travelling Bali on a budget, warung (a small local eatery serving pre-cooked, homemade Indonesian dishes) is your best friend, along with these spots around Canggu I’ve carefully curated that are affordable, clean, and less likely to give you Bali belly.

THE GOOD OLD WARUNGS

Warung Sika

This is probably my most-visited warung in Canggu. I love it because they have such an extensive menu – some dishes rotate, but many are available every day. Try the tempe orek (stir-fried tempe), chicken rendang, bakwan jagung (corn fritters), and pretty much any of the veggie dishes – they’re all good.

Just a heads-up: it can get super busy around lunchtime, so be prepared to queue, or try coming before or after 12.

💰 Price range: IDR 25K-75K/ meal

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 9am-9pm

📍 Address: Jl. Tanah Barak No.45, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Warung Jawa Bu Sri

I think this warung is underrated. But if you want true Indo flavours, the kind we actually eat every day (not the adjusted versions for tourists), this is where you should go.

You’ll find proper local dishes like pecel (steamed veggies with peanut sauce), ayam suwir balado (shredded chilli chicken), and Javanese-style rendang. Sri is the name of the super lovely lady who owns and runs the warung.

💰 Price range: IDR 15K-30K/ meal

⏰ Opening hours:

📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong Br No.19, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Warung Makan Siang

This is the kind of warung that makes you feel like you’ve just dropped by a friend’s place and she’s cooked for you, hehe. The space is small, but just right. They’ve got all the usual Indonesian favourites on rotation, and every now and then there are special dishes like rawon (black beef soup) or sayur lodeh (vegetable soup with coconut milk). They also often stock desserts and iced coffee from local home businesses, which makes it feel even more homely.

💰 Price range: IDR 25K-50K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 11.30am-4pm

📍 Address: Jl. Beringin, Dalung, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Image credit: Warung Makan Siang Instagram

Warung Local

I’ve been a customer since they first opened and I once sold my homemade cookies there, hehe. It’s great to see them growing bigger now (literally, space-wise). If you’re new to warung food, Warung Local is a good place to start. The flavours are “Indonesian enough” for us locals, but not too heavy on the seasoning, if you know what I mean. It’s also on the main Batu Bolong street, so it’s really easy to spot.

💰 Price range: IDR 50K-90K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 10am-10pm

📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.10, Canggu, Badung, Bali

Warung Tiga

Tiga means three, and yes – it’s the same as Warung Dua (two) in Umalas. I’d call this an elevated version of an Indo warung, because aside from the Indonesian menu, they also have Western favourites like lasagna and quiches, plus some healthier options – quite a few salad choices too. Price-wise, it’s adjusted to what they offer, so it’s more expensive than a regular warung, but still affordable.

💰 Price range: IDR 50K-90K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 7am-11pm

📍 Address: Jl. Nelayan No.27, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

RICE BOWL, NOODLES, AND EVERYTHING ELSE

Nasigo

Rice bowls are probably the best fix when you’re busy and starving. Rice and protein in one container – whoever came up with that, thank you! Nasigo has a solid range of chicken options, from teriyaki to green chilli, starting from just 35K. If you’re more into beef, they’ve got ground beef with basil and a beef patty from 45K. Portions are generous too.

And if you’re in the mood for something sweet, their iced matcha latte is a nice pick from just 35K. Get both a rice bowl and a matcha, and you’re still spending under 100K – not bad at all.

💰 Price range: From IDR 35K-45K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 11am – 8pm

📍 Address: Jl. Raya Babakan Canggu No.91, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Image credit: Nasigo Instagram

Daeng Burger

Not all burgers in Canggu are pricey – some are still super affordable (but also decent), like Daeng Burger. They’ve got a wide range from classic beef burgers to chicken and vegetarian options, but my personal favourite is their Morrokowich panini. It’s got grilled harissa chicken, cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, rocket, and tzatziki sauce, and very delicious for just….drumroll please…59K! Woot woot!

💰 Price range: 59K-90K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 11am – 1am

📍 Address: Jl. Raya Babakan Canggu No.33A, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Warung Ayu Ayam Bakar Ala Jimbaran

This is a proper local Indo grilled chicken and seafood spot, but I’ve taken so many of my foreign friends here and they’ve all loved it so far. It’s done in that Jimbaran-style grilling; smoky, slightly sweet, nicely charred, and super flavourful, without having to drive all the way to Jimbaran.

You can get a simple plate of rice and grilled chicken from just 45K, or go for a sharing platter that works for 2 up to 10 people if you’re coming with a group. You can also order your favourite seafood individually, from grilled fish to prawns, and more, and build your own feast. Super flexible, super satisfying, and great value for money.

💰 Price range: 45K-90K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 11am – 10pm

📍 Address: Jl. Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Kabupaten Badung, Bali

Amy Wong

Sometimes I’m in the mood for some Chinese-Indo comfort food, and when that craving hits, I always order from Amy Wong. They’ve got a cute little space, but somehow I always order online and I pretty much stick to the same thing every time: kwetiau goreng spesial (stir-fried rice noodles).

Fun fact: when Indos put “spesial” on the menu, it usually means you’re getting the full upgrade; either a fried egg on top and/or all the extra topping, hehe. And also, don’t skip their fried bakso (Indo-style meatballs) for a snack!

💰 Price range: 25K-60K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 11am – 9pm

📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Berawa, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Image credit: Amy Wong Instagram

Mie and More

This little noodle shack makes one of the best Sichuan noodles I’ve had. Also, they added chicken and beef curry noodles to the menu, which is very dangerous (for my self-control).

Be careful with their chilli oil – it’s so good you’ll want to pour a lot, but it packs a punch. And complete your noodles with a side of dumplings. They’ve got options from chicken, beef, pork, to mushroom.

💰 Price range: From IDR 50K

⏰ Opening hours: Mon, Wed-Sat, 1pm-12am, Tue 4pm-12am, Sun 7pm-12am

📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.26, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Happy Pork Rendang

Rendang, but make it pork. It might be controversial in some parts of Indonesia, but clearly not in Bali, especially when it’s this good. True to the name, they specialise in pork rendang (that rich, slow-cooked Indonesian dry curry we all love). You can have it the classic way with rice, or switch things up with rendang nasi goreng, a rendang rice burger, or even a burrito. I’ve only tried it the traditional way so far, but I’m sure the rest of the menu is just as good.

💰 Price range: From IDR 25K

⏰ Opening hours: Mon-Sun, 8am-10pm

📍 Address: Jl. Raya Babakan Canggu No.27, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Image credit: Happy Pork Rendang Instagram

So, what do you think? Is Bali expensive? It really depends on how you choose to experience it. Here are just a few of my regular places around Canggu – and of course, the list will continue.

What I like about living in Bali (or in Indonesia in general) is that it doesn’t force you into one way of living. You can keep it ultra-local with a 20K plate of rice from a humble warung, or go for the fancy options – both are valid ways to enjoy the island. Thank you for reading!

Restaurants in Legian and Seminyak: Kata Bella's Picks 2026

Restaurants in Legian and Seminyak. I know some of you might think these neighbourhoods aren’t as cool as they used to be. But for many families travelling with kids, they remain a top choice because of their proximity to the airport and the convenience they offer. You’ll find everything you need here - from great 5-star hotels and beaches to shops, supermarkets, medical centres, and, most importantly, plenty of places to eat. Legian and Seminyak are packed with fantastic restaurants, from breakfast spots to dinner favourites. I used to live around here, and on a recent visit, I spent some time exploring both old favourites and new openings to find the places that I’d happily recommend to my readers. So, here are some of the places that made the list. You may also like this article: Breakfast Spots in Canggu Worth Waking Up Early For Farmer's Daughter It's not ranked by favourites, but this new spot in Legian deserves to be at the top of the list. Not only is the place cute and cosy, but it also serves excellent pastries and coffee. If you're after a proper brunch or lunch, the menu has some interesting options like cauliflower steak and fried chicken waffles. For something quick to grab on your way to the beach - which is only a two-minute walk away, you can get one of their baguette sandwiches. And whatever you do, please save room for dessert! The pistachio kunafa mousse is a must-try, or come back just for the cakes because they're absolutely worth it. Mister Wasabi A newbie in Legian, Mister Wasabi is already making waves with its creative Japanese menu with a luxe twist, featuring dishes like Japanese fried rice with Wagyu Simo striploin, foie gras and caviar, plus a must-try chirashizushi. Upstairs, you’ll find a modern Japanese restaurant with an open kitchen for a more elevated dining experience, while downstairs is a lively izakaya for sharing plates, fun cocktails, and a more relaxed night out. Makan Place This place is best known for its pork knuckle, which they say is enough for two. But I won't judge if you decide to take that as a personal challenge. Makan Place is my go-to pit stop whenever I'm running errands around Legian because the menu covers pretty much every craving. You can have some "sneaky holiday food" like a Korean fried chicken burger or chicken parmy, or opt for something a little lighter like my favourite Asian chicken salad or the pan-seared salmon. And if you've never tried Indonesian or Balinese food before, this is also a great place for your first taste. I'd recommend starting with the beef rendang or the fried duck - both are solid introductions to local flavours. Image credit: Makan Place Instagram You may also like this article: Aesthetic Cafes in Ubud - 6 Beautiful Spots Worth Adding to Your Itinerary Miya Social Another new spot in Legian, this one is perfect for families. The restaurant is spacious, with plenty of parking for both cars and scooters (important for Legian!), plus a dedicated playground area to keep the little ones entertained. Their signature dish is Miya's charcoal chicken, served with your choice of sauce ranging from mild and medium to spicy or sambal matah, and you can have it with sides like sweet corn and coleslaw. Another standout is the peri-peri chicken pizza, which is well worth ordering for the table. And then of course, dessert! Try their sticky toffee pudding with miso toffee sauce, almond streusel, and vanilla gelato. Three words: yum, yumm, and yummm! Wild Habit Pizza From the name, you can probably guess that wood-fired pizza is the star of the show here. Located on a corner lot in the heart of Seminyak, it's one of those places that's easier to reach on foot if you're already exploring the area, rather than dealing with traffic and parking. I've eaten here more than once, and these are some of my personal favourites: start with the charred octopus skewers and truffle & brie croquettes, then move on to the spicy salami & mozzarella pizza and spicy chorizo vodka pasta. If you're a truffle lover, the truffle pappardelle is also a winner. And please don't skip dessert! My favourite is the Italian flourless chocolate cake. TENKAI Japanese, but not quite Japanese. TENKAI is a Japanese Nikkei restaurant that brings together Japanese and Peruvian cuisines. With an interesting mix of Japanese techniques and Peruvian influences, every dish delivers a surprising burst of flavours that you’ll have to try for yourself - nothing like your ordinary Japanese food. Located inside the legendary Padma Resort Legian, TENKAI is also known for its Izakaya Nights and Teppanyaki experience, making it a fun spot for food lovers and those looking to celebrate special moments. They have recently launched new creations, including the Rocoto Tiradito Lobster, Buta Yakigyoza, Anticuchero Maki Nikkei, Parihuela Udon, and Premium Nigiri Nikkei. La Naya From hearty Japanese comfort food to quick bites and sweet treats, La Naya has all your cravings covered. Alongside classic Japanese favourites, you'll find koppe pan, fresh onigiri, buttery pastries, and refreshing kakigori that are perfect for Bali's tropical weather. Pair that with its bright and spacious interior, and you've got a restaurant that's just as suitable for a family gathering as it is for an afternoon catch-up with friends. Me Vui You can eaily spot this place when you're walking around Legian. Its bright yellow façade practically invites you in, and it looks just like an eatery you'd stumble upon in Vietnam. The menu covers all the Vietnamese classics you'd hope for; comforting bowls of pho, delicious banh mi, spring rolls, and many more. I've been here so many times and so far I haven't had a bad meal. It's the kind of place that's equally good for a quick lunch, or a casual dinner with friends. If you're not sure what to order, don't stress too much, because it's one of those places where almost everything you order is a safe bet. Image credit: Me Vui Instagram You may also like this article: My Little Canggu Restaurant List - Part 1 Sushimi I have so many fond memories from my younger years at this Sushimi branch, and I'm happy to report that they’ve managed to maintain their quality after all this time. If you're after a quick sushi fix, the sushi train is the way to go. They also have an a la carte menu of Japanese comfort food and snacks. If you're arriving hungry, I'd recommend the bento set. It's a meal in itself, with a little bit of everything; sushi, edamame, karaage, and more. It also comes with miso soup and iced or hot green tea. The space is quite small and there's no dedicated parking area, so I'd suggest coming by scooter, walking if you're nearby, or simply ordering a Gojek. Sinaloa When you arrive at Sinaloa, you'll be greeted by the giant skulls at the entrance - one of the restaurant's most iconic features. If you enjoy people-watching, grab a seat downstairs by the bar, and if you'd prefer something a little quieter, head upstairs where it's usually more relaxed. This Mexican-inspired restaurant is open from breakfast through to late evening for drinks. The menu is packed with crowd-pleasers, including nachos, burritos, tacos, and churros, alongside a good selection of cocktails and refreshing drinks. While newer neighbourhoods in Bali continue to steal the spotlight, Legian and Seminyak remain two of the island's most reliable areas when it comes to food and convenience. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee, a family-friendly lunch, local Indonesian flavours, or a long dinner that turns into a late night out, there's something here for everyone. And just like my other restaurant lists, this one will continue to grow as I discover more places worth sharing. I hope you find this guide useful, and I hope it leads you to some delicious meals along the way. Happy holiday and thank you for reading!

The Ultimate Canggu Restaurant List by Kata Bella

Canggu Restaurant List. Canggu might be a teeny, tiny spot on the map of Bali, but it has pretty much everything you need. From places to stay, entertainment, gyms to most importantly...food, the options are endless. We are spoiled for choice here, with everything from Indonesian and Asian to Western favourites. It almost makes the chaotic streets feel… worth it, lol (for those who keep asking why I live in Bali’s busiest hotspot). With so many places to try, there’s no way I can squeeze everything into one article - so I’m breaking it into two (maybe even three). So here’s part one: my Canggu restaurant list for light bites and healthy options.

On those days, I either drive to Deli Canggu or GoFood for their sandwiches. They literally only do sandwiches on the entire menu, plus a few sides and drinks. My number one pick is the beef pastrami sourdough sandwich, followed closely by the roast chicken focaccia. 💰 Price range: IDR 75K-85K ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 6am-6pm 📍 Address: Jl. Nelayan No.73c, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Deli Instagram Tony’s New York Pizza Who knew my jiu jitsu coach would turn out to be a pizza-preneur, and a good one too?! It started with a small pizza joint in Pererenan, I blinked and now I’ve lost count of how many branches he has across Bali alone. Anyway, I’m not just saying this just because I like Tony (halo Pak!) but the pizzas are good. Nice crispy dough, great sauce, generous toppings…everything just hits right, the way a proper New York slice should. Pepperoni is a must-have, but my personal favourite is the buffalo chicken pizza, paired with one of those lemony fizzy drinks from the fridge and lots of ice. Mantap! 💰 Price range: IDR 50K-150K ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 11am-12am, Sat and Sun 11am-1.30am 📍 Address: Jl. Raya Tiyingtutul No.25, Canggu, Kec. Mengwi, Badung, Bali Image credit: Tony's Pizza Instagram Tygr Sushi This is also where I go when I don’t feel like having hot meals, plus it’s a closed, air-conditioned space - which already makes it a win in Bali heat for me. They serve Japanese comfort food like sushi, curry rice, karaage, and gyoza, and I always have to save room for their matcha mochi ice cream, which very often sells out. 💰 Price range: IDR 100K-250K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 11am-11pm 📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.55, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Tygr Sushi Instagram You may also like this article: Best Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas Hoi An by MeVui Reasonably priced delicious Vietnamese food in a cosy spot. They’ve opened a few other branches now, but since I live in Canggu, this is my go-to. When I need something quick after the gym, I usually get com ga (gilled boneless chicken with a sunny-side-up egg and rice). If I’m feeling a bit tired or under the weather, their hearty beef or chicken pho always hits the spot. And when I’m feeling a little snacky (and naughty), I can’t resist their deep-fried spring rolls. 💰 Price range: IDR 35K-150K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 9am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Padang Linjong, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Hoi An by MeVui Instagram HEARTWARMING COMFORT FOOD Soogi Roll If you enjoy watching Korean dramas, this place looks exactly like something straight out of one. They’ve recently moved to a new space that’s bigger and more comfortable, making it even better for a cosy meal. It’s perfect for those days when you’re craving something warm and soupy, like ramyeon or sundubu. They also serve the all-time favourite Korean gochujang chicken and, of course, Korean sushi rolls. 💰 Price range: IDR 150K-250K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Sun, 10am-10pm 📍 Address: Check their Instagram for the new location Image credit: Soogi Roll Instagram Yumei Noodles You should try Yumei if you like Sichuan-style noodles. The noodles are made fresh daily. Their braised beef noodles are the star on the menu, but I prefer their dry noodles - you can have it spicy, medium spicy, or not spicy at all. The portions are big for me, so I usually share one with a friend and order wontons on the side. It’s the kind of comforting, no-fuss meal that hits the spot every time. 💰 Price range: IDR 150K-250K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Sun, 11am-2am 📍 Address: Jl. Nelayan No.34, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung Image credit: Yumei Instagram Anaga Sometimes I wake up from a nap on a slow Sunday craving good Thai food. And when that happens, I head straight to Anaga for their tom yum, which tastes just like the ones I've had in Thailand. If I'm going with a group of friends, we'll usually order a few dishes to share, like the pad thai, Thai fried chicken, fish cakes, and red curry. Ps. They have shirataki tom yum fried "rice" on the menu if you're trying to cut back on carbs but still want to indulge a little *wink wink 💰 Price range: IDR 150K-250K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Sun, 11am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl.

Plus, it’s arguably a healthier alternative to a typical night out… because, well, hot pot. If you’re coming in a group of 8–10, you can book a VIP room with a minimum spend of IDR 1.8 million in total. There are two seating times: 5pm and 8pm. You’ll find a variety of soup bases and an extensive selection of fillings; vegetarian, seafood, chicken, and premium meats - so there’s something for every diet. And oh, there’s a dedicated corner for you to mix your own sauces. 💰 Price range: From IDR 300K/ person ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 10am-12pm 📍 Address: Jl. Padang Linjong, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Ding Ding Instagram Khao Bali Thai food, but make it premium - that’s Khao Bali. The space is casual, with a lovely outdoor area at the back overlooking a lush garden. But at the same time, it’s also the kind of place where you can dress up a little with your friends and treat yourselves to something nice. All the Thai classics are still there, like tom yum, curries, fish cakes, and they’re just as flavourful as they are in Thailand. But with added finesse, using locally sourced ingredients from Bali. 💰 Price range: From IDR 200K/ person ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 10am-11pm 📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Mejan, Canggu, Kec.

I’ve honestly lost count of how many times I’ve celebrated special occasions here - my girls know how much I love this place that they once threw me a surprise bachelorette party here, haha. My idea of a party involves really good Asian food like their salmon nori tacos, tenderloin pad see ew, or miso-glazed charcoal chicken. And please, make room for dessert because their whiskey chocolate lava cake is worth every calorie. Oh, and don’t skip the cocktails - Masih Muda (still young”) with lychee liqueur is my favourite. 💰 Price range: From IDR 250K/ person ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 4.30pm-10pm 📍 Address: Jl.

They’ve recently revamped the menu - shifting from Spanish to a broader Mediterranean direction. But don't worry, the restaurant’s signature paella remains a staple - generously loaded with seafood, scallops, prawns, and a rich squid ink sofrito. The new dishes are complemented by a cocktail list inspired by the winds of the Mediterranean sea, plus an intimate Chef’s Counter experience where you can sit by the kitchen and enjoy a seasonal, chef-led journey. 💰 Price range: From IDR 350K/ person ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 6pm-12am 📍 Address: Jl.

Their homemade pasta is made fresh every day, and the menu changes daily to showcase the best ingredients available. They also have plenty of other mouthwatering dishes on the menu that I’ll definitely need to come back and try next time. For the full Italian dining experience, end your pasta-venture with their signature Tiramisu Della Terra - available exclusively on Thursdays. 💰 Price range: From IDR 350K/ person ⏰ Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday 5.30pm-1pm 📍 Address: Jl.

A beautiful beachfront venue with an Asian-inspired menu by Chef Andrew Walsh. A lineup that sounds “simple”, like potato bread with butter to start, steak tartare polenta, and roasted chicken with Japanese rice delivers far more depth than you’d expect. Finish strong with their cocktails. I went for their Tea & Citrus - a perfect mix of dry gin and earl grey tea, yum! You can sit by the open kitchen and watch the magic happen, settle into the comfy dining area, or head outside for the sea breeze and the sound of the waves. There’s also a private room if you’re after something more intimate. 💰 Price range: From IDR 350K/ person ⏰ Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 5pm-12am 📍 Address: Jl. Munduk Catu, Kec.

I always start with the hummus with a crunchy surprise that I like, and warm, comforting flatbread. Then it’s mains to share: roasted scallops, roasted king prawns, and barramundi. And of course, cocktails. Sometimes I stick to the classics, but other times I go for Kembang Desa (the village star); gin with jasmine, lychee, and lemon. 💰 Price range: From IDR 250K/ person ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 12pm-12am 📍 Address: Jl.

That said, the grill section makes a very convincing argument too, with options like rib-eye, and pork chop quietly stealing the spotlight. And did I mention the tiramisu is mandatory? It’s not optional. It’s not your typical pasta joint either - the space leans more urban chic with a hint of coastal vibes. It’s the kind of place where you can dress up if you feel like it, but it’s more effortless chic than full-on fancy. 💰 Price range: From IDR 250K/ person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon-Fri 5pm-12am, Sat-Sun 12pm-12am 📍 Address: Jl.

When you step into Lulu Bistrot, you almost forget you’re in Bali. The ambiance is sophisticated, but not snobbish - if you know what I mean. I’m not usually a big fan of red meat, but with something as good as their steak… yes, puh-lease. It might sound exaggerated, but everything on the menu is muachh! *chef’s kiss. 💰 Price range: From IDR 250K/ person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon-Fri 5pm-12am, Sat-Sun 11am-12am 📍 Address: Jl.

I usually go for miso prawn or chimichurri chicken for the protein, along with all the beaaans!By the way there’s also another Unibowl in Umalas Bumbal. 💰 Price range: IDR 65K-150K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 12pm-9.30pm 📍 Address: Jl. Sempol No.17, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Badung, Bali Image credit: Unibowl Instagram Taco Casa Another option for delicious, health-ish food: Mexican (well… if you don’t go too hard on the sour cream and crispy tortillas lol). Go for a naked burrito with chicken, or their soft tacos with the protein of your choice. It’s never a bad idea to grab a quick lunch at Taco Casa. You can also check out their other locations in Petitenget or Ubud. 💰 Price range: IDR 65K-150K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 10am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Batu Mejan Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali Image credit: Taco Casa Instagram Warung Coco Healthy doesn’t always have to mean salad, right? And you really can’t separate Indos from nasi campur (rice with various side dishes), hehe. I like Warung Coco because the food tastes clean and light, not oily like a lot of Indonesian or Asian food can be. It also doesn’t feel too heavy on the salt or seasoning. I’ve always ordered it online through GoFood or GrabFood, but you can also dine in at their warung. 💰 Price range: IDR 50K-100K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Sat, 11am-5pm 📍 Address: Tumbak Bayuh, Mengwi, Badung, Bali Image credit: Warung Coco Instagram Ok that's my list for now, it will keep growing as Kata Bella team and I discover more places we like. Hope you find this article useful and thank you for reading! 🙂

Kata Bella's List of Good Coffee Shops in Denpasar

Coffee Shops in Denpasar What’s in Denpasar? Well...a lot, actually. Don’t just stick to one area when you’re on holiday in Bali. In case you didn’t know, Denpasar is the capital and largest city of Bali, as well as the island’s central hub for government, commerce, and everyday life. Beyond the busy city centre, you’ll find huge residential areas, local neighbourhoods, traditional markets, and plenty of places where everyday Balinese life carries on. And one of the things I love about checking out cafes and coffee shops here is the regular local prices. No viral cafe mark-up, just good coffee at prices that actually feel pretty reasonable. So, if you’re up for exploring Denpasar, here are a few coffee spots worth checking out, picked by the Kata Bella team and friends.

You can find this special place on the second floor of a stationery shop on Jalan Gajah Mada - a street well known for fabric shopping among locals who make their own clothes and kebaya (traditional attire), and also home to Badung Market, Bali’s largest traditional market. If you’re looking for a more local afternoon coffee experience, this is definitely one to try. 📍Google Map: Nadhi Heritage Image credit: Nadhi Heritage Instagram Toko Kopi Jaya They have one in Denpasar and another in Kuta, and the last time I went to the one in Kuta, it was packed even though the space is pretty big. Coffee starts from 27K, and they also have snacks and light bites at pretty good prices too. The menu is a mix of Indonesian comfort snacks like tahu bakso (stuffed tofu) and pisang goreng (banana fritters), along with various pastries and banana bread. One unique coffee that caught our attention was their lemongrass americano. 📍Google Map: Toko Kopi Jaya Image credit: Toko Kopi Jaya Google page Mai Little Space This little spot is tucked upstairs and feels a bit like going over to your friend’s house and they serve you coffee! Hehe. It’s a nice and quiet space where you can chill, or get some work done for hours. Their must-tries on the menu are their dirty latte, which has a hint of blueberry cheesecake, and the matcha strawberry. This one is a real hidden gem, but probably won't stay "hidden" for long - because somewhere this nice is bound to get discovered soon! 📍Google Map: Mai Little Space Image credit: Mai Little Space Google page You may also like this article: The Ultimate Canggu Restaurant List by Kata Bella The Frontier House It’s a cute spot that somehow gives us the "cool streets-of-Java" vibes, like Malang or Jogja. The space is simple, cosy, and inviting- just the kind of place you want to hang out at with a good coffee and a croissant. We’re happy to see they’ve now opened a spot at Plaza Renon too! 📍Google Map: The Frontier House Image credit: The Frontier House Instagram Kyoto Country Club Heritage This is the OG, before Kyoto Country Club Southland in Umalas became the big hit it is today. It’s a Japanese-inspired specialty coffee house and fusion restaurant, so you’ll find a good mix of Japanese dishes and, of course, good coffee. The whole place is decked out in Japanese-inspired details, from the exterior to the moment you step inside, even extending to the outdoor space. It really makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a little corner of Japan. 📍Google Map: Kyoto Country Club Heritage Image credit: Kyoto Country Club Instagram You may also like this article: Aesthetic Cafes in Ubud - 7 Beautiful Spots Worth Adding to Your Itinerary Second Floor Coffee This one came recommended by our dear friend, the owner of Xoxo Bali, who’s often around Denpasar and swings by The Second Floor Coffee to recharge. They have out-of-the-box coffee creations, like guava, strawberry, yuzu, and...seaweed coffee? Who would’ve thought! They do all the classics too, so you can still grab a good latte or Americano, but while you’re here, why not be a little adventurous, right? Or, you can take home one of their bottled coffees, with flavours like rose, red ginger, and pineapple. They now have several branches across Jakarta, and another one in Denpasar. 📍Google Map: Second Floor Coffee Patimura Image credit: Second Floor Coffee Instagram Seniman Coffee It’s one of Bali’s well-known coffee roasters, and there’s a reason why they remain popular among locals and travellers. I think a big part of the appeal is that the coffee is consistently good. They have a great selection of beans from different parts of Indonesia, including plenty of varieties from Bali, so if you’re into coffee, there’s always something good to try here. The space in Denpasar is pretty artsy too - well, Seniman means “artist” after all. You’ll find vinyl records, art, and a little shop to browse while you’re there. 📍Google Map: Seniman Coffee Renon Image credit: Seniman Coffee Instagram While Bali’s beaches in Uluwatu and buzzing dining scene in Canggu are always fun to explore, don’t overlook Denpasar on your next holiday. The number of good coffee shop here is growing, with plenty of great local spots to discover, alongside some of the island’s best Indonesian food and street eats. Take a little detour from the usual Bali itinerary - you might just find a different side of the island worth coming back for.
