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

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

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

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!

New Canggu Restaurant Has Arrived: Mykaza at The Arc House

New Canggu Restaurant Has Arrived: Mykaza at The Arc House Canggu is never short of places to eat. From charming little cafes in quiet corners to late-night favourites that keep the crowds coming, there always seems to be a new spot popping up around every corner. And now, there’s another one to add to the list - a place for slow afternoons, golden-hour sunsets, and laid-back weekends in Canggu. Tucked inside The Arc House Canggu, a boutique retreat with 19 private pool suite villas, lies Mykaza - a little rooftop oasis with an easy, feel-good energy. The vibe is elevated yet relaxed, with that effortless barefoot Bali charm. What began as a modern Japanese izakaya concept evolved when the team moved to Bali. Surrounded by the island’s culture, its people, and incredible local produce, the idea grew into something even more special: a space where Japanese roots and Balinese spirit come together beautifully. You may also like this article: Bali Brunch - A Slow Saturday Done Right at Waatu's Otsumami Mykaza, Su CasaA Japanese Menu with Bali in MindBeyond good foodMore information Mykaza, Su Casa Gerardo Barrientos, the F&B Director at Portier Hotels (the operator of The Arc House brand), together with his team really leaned all the way into the idea of building something that doesn’t just exist in Bali, but actually listens to it. The result is a concept where Japanese technique doesn’t overshadow local culture, but lets it shine in its own quiet, confident way. That same balance carries through the space itself. The interiors have a modern Japanese feel - clean, bright, without feeling too minimal or cold. Little rooms with tatami seating add a touch of tradition, while the overall design feels fresh, and airy. Step outside, and the mood shifts into tropical Bali holiday mode with a rooftop pool, and sun loungers. For Gerardo, Mykaza is also about something a bit rare these days - a space where people actually connect, not just sit together while scrolling in silence (we’ve all been there!). And maybe you can already guess it - the name Mykaza sounds a little like “mi casa”, and that’s exactly the idea. A blend of the Japanese name “Mikasa” and the phrase mi casa es tu casa...my home is your home. The hope is that everyone who walks into Mykaza feels that same sense of comfort and belonging. Come as you are and make yourself at home. A Japanese Menu with Bali in Mind On the menu, things get even more interesting. It's where Japanese and Balinese flavours come together in combinations that sound unexpected but make perfect sense the moment they land on your table. Think Babi Guling (Balinese iconic suckling pork) Dry Ramen, Hamachi Miso Matah, and Matcha-Miso Dadar Gulung (coconut-filled rolled pancake). More Japanese comfort dishes not to miss - start with the Asparagus & Ebi Tempura, Sake Tenkasu, or Tuna Wonton. Then move on to the Katsu Bali Curry before wrapping things up with Indonesia’s all-time favourite afternoon tea snack: Pisang Goreng (banana fritters) served with black sesame gelato. It’s a pairing that deserves a spotlight of its own. The drinks are just as fun - with cocktails featuring jamu (Indonesia’s traditional herbal drink), Arak Bali (Balinese distilled spirit), and tea-based creations, the island finds its way into every glass, quietly reminding you where you are. You may also like this article: SKAI Bar & Grill in Legian - Same Soul, Refined Experience Beyond good food Mykaza is very much a team-led space too. Head Chef Andy, Head Mixologist Agus, and the wider crew all shape the menu together - with the Balinese team playing a big part in adding those quiet local nuances that make everything feel real, not performative. And beyond the food, it’s everything else that comes with it: a rooftop pool, sunset views, and that easy Canggu rhythm where, as I said in my previous article, no one’s really in a rush here. And even though life in Bali can feel like one long holiday, weekends still carry that special kind of magic where slowing down and sharing good food just feels even better. Looking ahead, Mykaza is already shaping up to be more than just a restaurant. Sunday set brunches, sake tastings, cigar and whisky nights, and laid-back poolside gatherings are all in the works. Because at its core, Mykaza isn’t trying to be the next “hot spot” - it is a home you will always come back to.

Bali Home Bakeries to Sweeten Your Celebrations: Updated List 2026

I’m all about supporting local bakeries, especially since I was once a home baker myself - though my baking career only lasted two years during the pandemic lol. That short stint gave me a real appreciation for how challenging it is to run a home bakery. You’re basically a one-person show, handling everything from taking orders and buying ingredients to the actual baking, packaging, and delivery. It’s a non-stop hustle, and knowing that, I make it a point to support small, emerging businesses whenever I can. In this article, I have collected my top favourite home bakeries that I think deserve a spotlight. Whether you’re planning a celebration or just looking for a sweet treat to brighten your day, these gems will not disappoint. So, let’s dive in and show some love to these talented bakers! Homie BunsBakeOvenLocale BakedFika & StoriesI Bake You EatLittle G Bu Toha You may also like this article: 5 Must-Visit Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas Homie Buns https://www.instagram.com/homiebuns They make breads ranging from simple shapes to adorable designs, with a variety of fillings like chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, salted caramel, as well as cupcakes and cookies. They even have a special birthday edition that comes with candles and a lovely ribbon-wrapped box. Now, they regularly create hampers for special occasions like Christmas, Eid al-Fitr, Chinese New Year, and Galungan, making them well worth checking out if you’re looking for a thoughtful gift for family and friends. Image credit: Homie Buns Instagram BakeOven https://www.instagram.com/bakeoven.id Their greatest hit is the cheesetart. And while the original is always a classic, my personal encore goes to the lemon tart, John Lemon, especially when enjoyed half-frozen! Trust me on this little trick and thank me later! 😉 And their menu is a symphony of puns: Edam Levine (yes, it features Edam cheese, lol), and Ayumi Hamachaki, a delightful choice for matcha lovers - highly recommended. You can order via Gojek, or catch them live at La Brisa Market every Sunday.

They offer everything from classic plain scones to unique flavours like lemon glazed, salted caramel butter (their top three bestsellers), earl grey, double chocolate, and even savoury options like garlic butter herb and cheddar tomato basil. A friend recommended them, so I decided to order for another friend's birthday - and she absolutely loved it! If you go for the classic plain scones, they come with cream and jam. Besides scones, they also whip up choux, pound cakes, éclairs, and other special-edition sweet treats. Image credit: Locale Baked Instagram Fika & Stories https://www.instagram.com/fika_and_stories This one is a newcomer to Bali’s home-bakery scene, but it’s already getting plenty of attention for its delicious cinnamon buns. What makes it special is its focus on Swedish treats - fika is a Swedish tradition of enjoying coffee, usually with something sweet. Staying true to its name, they bake small batches of Swedish favourites like biskvi, a chewy almond base topped with buttercream and dipped in chocolate; kolasnittar, Sweden’s beloved cookies with crisp edges and a chewy centre; and thumbprint cookies, buttery shortbread filled with strawberry jam. Image credit: Fika & Stories Instagram I Bake You Eat https://www.instagram.com/i_bakeyoueat I ordered their carrot cake just for fun - no special occasion. But since they make whole cakes in a mini size (10cm diameter), it was the perfect little treat! They deserve the highest compliment an Asian can give a cake: NOT...TOO....SWEET!!! hehe. Besides carrot cake, they also make salted caramel coffee cake, matcha dark chocolate cake, and Dutch boterkoek. These cakes also come in a sharing size (18cm). Image credit: I Bake You Eat Instagram Little G https://www.instagram.com/littleghomebake They make whole cakes and I discovered Little G because so many of my friends have ordered from them over the years - so I figured, they must be good, right? One day, in true last-minute fashion (because I’m so organised like that, lol), I messaged them to order a birthday cake for my husband. Despite the short notice, they responded with a positive "can-do" attitude, accepted my order, and delivered exactly what I asked for. The birthday boy absolutely loved it, and as a serious cake lover, his review is trustworthy. I can’t say the same for myself since I don’t eat cake, but with his honest feedback and the rave reviews from my cake-loving friends, I wholeheartedly recommend Little G for your special occasions - just try to be more organised than me 😉 Image credit: Little G Instagram You may also like this article: Brunch in Bali - Rediscovering Legian through Farmer’s Daughter Bu Toha https://www.instagram.com/butoha_ As a true Indo kid, I can’t leave out jajan pasar (various Indonesian traditional snacks, commonly found in markets), because they are a staple for special occasions. A few times, I’ve even sent jajan pasar as a birthday gift for friends. These traditional Indonesian treats aren’t just delicious and nostalgic; they also make for a beautiful and thoughtful present. My go-to place is Bu Toha. They offer stress-free packages if you want everything pre-arranged, but if you’re feeling picky, you can customise your own tampah (woven bamboo tray) hamper by ordering items individually (just keep in mind there’s a minimum order for each). They also make Balinese jajan pasar, which is perfect for friends celebrating Balinese ceremonies. Image credit: Bu Toha Instagram At the end of the day, what makes home bakeries special isn’t just the cakes or the cookies - it’s the heart behind them. Each order supports someone’s passion, creativity, and countless hours spent perfecting their craft, often from their own kitchen. So whether you’re celebrating something big or simply craving a little sweetness, choosing a local home bakery is always a good idea. And if you discover your new favourite homemade treats along the way, share it with me! I will happily try it and feature it in this article.

Koyotake Ramen: A Comforting Homemade Ramen in Yogyakarta

“No more Instagram ads, please. I’m scared too many people will come,” laughs my dad, the man behind Koyotake Ramen, Yogyakarta. While most warung owners dream of bustling crowds, he prefers a steady stream of loyal customers who enjoy his homemade ramen. Tucked away in a quiey village in Bantul, Koyotake serves Japanese comfort food with heart – think rich Tori Paitan broth, savory Shoyu, and crispy gyozas. From Five-Star Kitchens to a Small Ramen Dream Back in the day, my dad worked in the fast-paced, always-hectic F&B department of various 5-star hotels. After years of juggling high-pressure environments, he decided to retire early in his 40s. His dream was simple: to run a small ramen shop like the ones he admires in Japanese travel documentaries. Small but mighty. Why ramen, though? And where did his love for Japanese food come from? To be honest - I’m not sure, haha! But after a few failed attempts (as all good stories go), he made that dream a reality. Koyotake Ramen's Tori Paitan - Creamy Chicken Broth Ramen in Yogyakarta You may also like this article: Pastries, Passion, and a Little Bit of Magic at Theo’s Wife Lois It all started in a food court in South Tangerang. At first, it struggled to attract customers, so he made the bold decision to close the outlet and reopen it at home. I thought it was a better idea - not only would he save on rent, but he’d also have more flexibility and time to rest. With his passion, my mum’s support as sous chef and logistics manager (seriously, who’s better at market shopping than the ibu?), and my contribution as the self-proclaimed marketing manager, the little house warung began to gain traction. They started with a simple menu; Tori Paitan and Shoyu ramen, and slowly expanded as the warung grew in popularity. Tan Tan Men, also a favourite menu among customers You may also like this article: Goolali Gelato Bar & Pâtisserie - Semarang’s Sweetest Escape Last year, my parents decided it was time to leave the hustle and bustle of city life and settle in a small village in Yogyakarta, where my mum originally comes from. Can’t blame them - city life can be overwhelming, especially at their age (honestly, even at mine). They reopened their ramen warung at their new house in Bantul, and it didn’t take long for them to regain popularity. One day, a well-known food blogger secretly stopped by, had dinner, and posted a Reel on Instagram. For weeks after, the warung was packed with people queuing for ramen, haha! Talk about a good problem to have, right? But now, they’ve settled into a nice rhythm, constant customers daily, not too crazy, just the right amount. So, thank you, Mr. Blogger, for bringing the unexpected blessings on my parents’ small business! If you ever find yourself in Yogyakarta and crave some home-cooked Japanese comfort food, make sure to visit Koyotake Ramen. They have added more on the menu, and don’t forget to try the gyozas!
