Bali on a Budget: Cheap Eats in Canggu for Under 100K

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

Image credit: Warung Jawa Bu Sri Instagram

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

Image credit: Warung Local Instagram

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 at just 45K. 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

Image credit: Daeng Burger Instagram

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 is seriously underrated, but they make 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.

5 Must-Visit Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas: My Personal Favourites

I’m not a coffee connoisseur, just a regular girl who needs her daily caffeine fix to survive the chaos of life. So don’t expect a deep dive into brewing methods, tasting notes, or "The Best Cafes in Bali" list here. Instead, I’m simply sharing my go-to coffee spots in Bali, mostly Canggu, Pererenan, and the surrounding areas - because that's where I live. This is also not a list of "The Most Instagrammable cafés" (though they are pretty cute); some are small, humble, and just….nice. So, if you're looking for great coffee without the fluff - let’s get into it. Bali Coffee Shop ListSatu Satu Coffee - CangguFold - CangguPicco Coffee - PererenanEko Cafe - UmalasArnold’s Coffee - Kerobokan Image credit: Satu Satu Coffee Instagram Satu Satu Coffee - Canggu Here’s one of the reasons why I keep coming back to Satu Satu: I drink Piccolo but I also live in Bali, right. So baristas, if you’re reading this, please don’t hate me, but I like my Piccolo ice cold. And Satu Satu is one of the few places that gets the balance of coffee, milk, and ice just right. It’s never watered down, but also not too intense. I often buy their ground coffee as presents for friends and they absolutely love it. The staff will ask how you brew at home so they can grind them to the right size - super helpful! Bonus points: the prices are very reasonable - not just for coffee, but for their breakfast menu too. And the staff are always lovely and welcoming. Definitely one of my top coffee spots in Canggu. 📍 Jl. Pantai Berawa No.36, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara 🕒 Open daily, 7.30am – 4pm 🪑 Indoor & outdoor seating 💰 Price range: 20K-150K Image credit: Fold Instagram Fold - Canggu For someone who’s lived in Bali long enough, I’m not exactly a fan of being hot, lol. So when I need a good cup of coffee and the luxury of a comfortably air-conditioned space, Fold is always my go-to. Their pastries are good too - just don’t come too late in the afternoon, or you’ll be left choosing from whatever remains in the display. The space itself is bright, calm, and easy to settle into, whether you’re opening your laptop for a few focused hours or catching up with friends and family over coffee. It’s the kind of place where time passes quietly. 📍 Jl. Nelayan No.31, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara 🕒 Open daily, 7am - 6pm 🪑 Two-storey indoor seating 💰 Price range: 30K-200K You may also like this article: Bali-based home bakeries to sweeten your celebrations Image credit: Picco Coffee Instagram Picco Coffee - Pererenan This spot is small but cosy, and it’s a favourite among remote workers who camp out with their laptops and lattes. I discovered Picco because it’s right across the street from my Jiu Jitsu gym, convenient. It’s a minimalist coffee shop that sticks to the essentials: brews and pastries, so don’t come here hungry, as they don’t serve big breakfasts. But if you’re after a quiet café in Canggu for a solid coffee and a chill vibe, this one’s worth a visit. 📍 Jl. Munduk Kedungu No.16, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi 🕒 Open daily, 7.30am – 3.30pm 🪑 Air-conditioned indoor & outdoor seating 💰 Price range: 25K-60K Image credit: Eko Cafe Instagram Eko Cafe - Umalas This café is tucked away in a laid-back area with a “settle down” vibe, hehe - you’ll often spot families with kids and dogs enjoying a relaxed breakfast, far from the busy surfer crowds or rushed office mornings. That’s exactly why it’s one of my favourite spots; I’m not a fan of crowded cafes, especially when you have to wait in line. The coffee here is nice, and they’re known for their healthy menu (but not too hardcore healthy, if you know what I mean). Think homemade hash browns with fresh spinach, cold-pressed juices, and naturally sweetened cakes that hit the spot without feeling heavy. 📍 Jl. Bumbak Dauh No.89x, Kerobokan, Kec.

Arnold’s Coffee may be small, but it’s full of charm, and it has everything you need to start your morning right. My family loves this place; we often end up staying a while, especially with the board games they have available. The coffee is nice, and you should definitely try the waffles. Best of all, the prices are affordable (I mean, things are generally cheaper once you’re outside central Canggu). 📍 Jl. Raya Semer no. 34, Kerobokan, Kec.

Brunch in Bali: Rediscovering Legian through Farmer’s Daughter

Brunch in Bali has taken on many forms over the years, but while trendy neighbourhoods like Canggu and Uluwatu rise in popularity, Legian will always hold a special place in my little heart. I spent so much of my childhood here, and I still have core memories of me and my cousin wandering the streets of Legian, going to the beach and getting our hair braided, shopping at Surfer Girl, when days felt unhurried and things were simpler. The neighbourhood has changed so much since then, as places naturally do. Still, there are pockets of Legian that feel reassuringly timeless. Some hotels have remained local favourites since the 90s, like Bali Mandira, holding onto their charm while growing alongside the area. And tucked away on a small street leading to the iconic Padma Beach - one of the surfers’ go-to spots, you’ll find a new charming coffee shop called Farmer’s Daughter. You make also like this article: 4 Must-Visit Underrated Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas A Charming Coffee Shop in LegianRomanticising My Brunch in BaliSomething that Feels Like Home The warm welcoming ambiance of Farmer's Daughter A Charming Coffee Shop in Legian Decorated in woven bamboo, with earthy tones and natural textures, Farmer’s Daughter blends effortlessly into Bali’s laid-back rhythm. Its exterior alone already sets the tone: relaxed and inviting. This is the kind of coffee shop in Legian that feels perfect for slow mornings, brunches, or those unplanned meals that turn into long conversations. Whether you’re easing into the day with breakfast or stopping by after a beach walk, it immediately feels like somewhere you’re meant to linger. Romanticising My Brunch in Bali Serving everything you’d expect from a Bali café, Farmer’s Daughter offers a comforting menu of freshly baked pastries, desserts, and holiday-style dishes like pasta and fish and chips. (I still call it “holiday food” even though I live here, because it is what it is! lol.) For those days when you don’t feel like eating meat - which happens to me sometimes, there are also plenty of vegetarian options on the menu. Everything is made using locally sourced ingredients, which feels very on-brand for Bali. The island is blessed with such fresh produce, and I genuinely think every business should embrace that more. It’s one of the things that makes brunch in Bali feel special: simple food done well, with ingredients that actually taste like they were grown nearby. Farmer's Daughter has everything from pastries, desserts, and main courses Something that Feels Like Home The name "Farmer’s Daughter" is just so cute! It gives off that girl-next-door vibe; warm, humble, kind-hearted, and friendly - don’t you think? And it suits this little nook in Legian perfectly. Everything about the place feels genuine and unpretentious, from the décor to the service. There’s no pressure to dress up or rush through your meal. Instead, you’re met with effortless Indonesian hospitality that feels sincere and comforting, the kind that makes you want to come back. You’ll see a mix of locals, surfers fresh from the waves, families, and travellers who’ve wandered in by chance. It feels like a true neighbourhood coffee shop in Legian - welcoming to everyone.

You’ll be surprised by how many lovely spots are tucked away just a few steps from the busy road.

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. Image credit: BakeOven Instagram You may also like this article: Goolali Gelato Bar & Pâtisserie: Semarang’s Sweetest Escape Locale Baked https://www.instagram.com/localebaked When you think of scones, think of Locale Baked. 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.
