My Little Canggu Restaurant List - Part 2

Canggu Restaurant List.

Hello! If you’ve somehow landed on this article, just a heads up that there’s a Part 1 over here.

I’ve split this into two parts so I can categorise the restaurants based on what I actually go there for. It makes things easier to navigate and gives me room to keep growing the list over time (because… the eating continues).

I don’t go out for fancy dinners often, but I do love a good girls’ night out – and don’t we always have something to celebrate? I’ve also added a little list for date nights, although in reality, those “dates” are more often spent with my girls too lol. You decide. Aaaanyway, whether you’re planning a night out, a catch-up, or just looking for your next excuse to eat – here’s my list.

FOR GIRLS NIGHT OUTS, BIRTHDAYS, AND OTHER CELEBRATIONS

Ding Ding Hot Pot

Hot pot and karaoke with your favourite people – I guarantee you’ll have a great time. 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

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. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Muda by/Suka 

“Asian cuisine with a twist,” as food reviewers would say. 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. Munduk Catu No.9, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Sazón

It’s the kind of place you go for a nice dinner that somehow turns into a longer night. 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. Pantai Batu Bolong No. 93xx, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Bali

BEAUTIFUL SPOTS WITH GREAT FOOD FOR PROPER DATE NIGHTS

Cure

This new kid on the block came in strong! 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. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Shelter

Candlelit tables, a tropical ambience, an open-air space and most importantly, amazing food – that makes a perfect date night.

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. Pantai Pererenan No.133, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Badung, Bali

Numero Quattro

One cannot simply go to Numero Quattro without having their pasta – it’s kind of the whole point. 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. Pantai Batu Mejan No.4, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Masonry.

I think Mediterranean cuisine is starting to grow on me. For those evenings when you feel like being taken care of with hearty food, good wine, and a warm, inviting ambience, Masonry ticks all the boxes.

It’s an open, airy space with that easy Bali feel. You can choose how you want to dine here: keep it simple with your own burger or spaghetti, or go all in and share a spread of wood-fired grills with sides and small plates.

💰 Price range:  From IDR 250K/ person

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 12pm-12am

📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.39a, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Lulu Bistrot

“Voulez-vous dîner avec moi ce soir?” – I like to imagine I can magically speak French after a proper French dinner, hehe. 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. Pantai Batu Bolong No.72, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Ok, so that’s Part 2 of my ever-growing list – because I love food, I love eating out, and this is just a tiny slice of Canggu I’ve explored. There’s still so much more to discover here and across Bali… but only so much space in my stomach, lol.

New spots keep popping up, so yes, this list is definitely continuing. I hope this gives you a few new places to try. Until the next round of “research”… see you at the table and thank you for reading!
