Best Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas

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 where the beans are grown here. Instead, I’m simply sharing my go-to coffee spots near where I live in Bali, mostly Canggu, Umalas and the surrounding areas. This is also not a list of “The Most Instagrammable cafes” (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.

CANGGU: Berawa, Batu Bolong, Babakan

Satu Satu Coffee

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 family. The staff will ask how you brew at home so they can grind them to the right size – super helpful!

📍 Jl. Pantai Berawa No. 36, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Open daily, 7.30am – 4pm

Fine by Satu Satu

If you like the coffee at Satu Satu but fancy a change of scenery, try Fine by Satu Satu. I usually stop by for a quick piccolo and a takeaway croissant, but I’ve noticed plenty of people working from there too. It’s a bright, spacious spot that looks comfortable enough to settle into for a few hours of work.

📍 Jl. Raya Babakan Canggu No. 51, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Open daily, 8am – 4.30pm

Two Face

It’s one of the “By Suka” cafes, and I’ve always enjoyed their other outlets too. This one is connected to Muda/ By Suka. I like to sit upstairs – nice, airy, and perfect for a slow coffee catch-up with a friend. They also have a solid brunch menu if you’re feeling a bit hungrier than just coffee. You can also order from Muda/ By Suka and eat here.

📍 Jl. Munduk Catu No. 9, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Open daily, 7.30am – 3.30pm

Samm’s Farm

Coffee in a cool, outdoorsy space? Yes, please. Samm’s Farm is a lovely spot if you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy your own company for a few hours with a coffee and a bite to eat. It’s also great for a quick workday, and it’s pet-friendly too.

📍 Jl. Canggu Padang Linjong No. 58, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Open daily, 8.30am – 10pm

Stray Dog

It’s one of those coffee shops that doesn’t overdo anything. Simple, unpretentious, and focused on their coffee – they serve proper artisan coffee with a nice selection to choose from. Beyond coffee, they also have pastries and a few main course options on the menu. The space is nice and humble, with a vinyl collection that makes it feel even more homey and comfy to hang out in.

📍 Jl. Pemelisan Agung Gg. Anggrek V No.7, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Mon-Fri 7am-5pm, Sat-Sun 7am-10pm

Hungry Bird

It’s not the newest viral coffee shop, but we’re here for the coffee, right? They’ve recently renovated the space, and it now feels modern while still being warm and inviting. Their coffee menu is worth exploring too, from fruity to chocolatey notes. And if you end up loving your cup, you can grab a bag of beans to take home – they make a great Bali souvenir for family, friends, or yourself.

📍 Jl. Raya Semat No. 86, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Open daily, 7am – 5pm

UMALAS AND KEROBOKAN

7AM Bakers

I like going to the one in Bumbak, but they now have a spot in Pererenan too. It’s roughly the same distance from where I live to either one. The space is nice for a quiet hangout with friends or a quick work-from-cafe session. If you get hungry in the middle of replying emails, they’ve got a tempting selection of pastries for cakes, plus a main menu if you’re ready for something more filling.

Ps. The one in Pererenen has longer opening hours (7am – 10pm)

📍Jl. Bumbak Dauh No.88, Kerobokan, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Open daily, 7am – 7pm

Revolver HQ

The famous Revolver, which started as a tiny cafe in Seminyak, has now opened its HQ in Umalas. And unlike the old days, parking is no longer a challenge – there’s a whole basement parking area for both scooters and cars. You really can’t skip this one when you’re in Bali. The space is big, stylish, and easy to spend a few hours in. And after all these years, Revolver is still one of my favourite places to go for a good coffee fix.

📍Jl. Bumbak Dauh No. 1, Umalas

🕒 Open daily, 7am – 10pm

Eko Cafe

This cafe is located in a laid-back area with a “settle down” vibe – 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 I like it; 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).

📍 Jl. Bumbak Dauh No.89x, Kerobokan, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Open daily, 7am – 3pm

Arnold’s Coffee

If you keep heading from Eko Cafe towards Jalan Raya Semer, you’ll spot a bright yellow coffee shop that’s hard to miss. 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. Kuta Utara

🕒 Monday – Saturday, 7.30am – 5.30pm

TGC Coffee

Good coffee, a nice space, and fair prices – that’s exactly why this place deserves a spotlight. Not far from 7AM Bakers in Bumbak, you’ll find a small entrance tucked away on the corner that leads to TGC. It’s easy to miss, but definitely worth seeking out. I like sitting outside, but the upstairs space looks like it’d be perfect for a work-from-cafe day.

📍 Jl. Bumbak Dauh, Kerobokan, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Monday – Saturday, 7am – 8pm

So there you have it, a few of my favourite coffee spots around where I live. Whether you’re after a perfectly balanced Piccolo, a quiet place to work, or a cosy cafe with healthy bites, these spots are worth checking out. If you know of any other nice coffee shops in the area, drop me a message! I’m always on the lookout for new favourites 🙂

Vegan Cafes in Canggu: 5 Nice Spots for Your Daily Greens

Vegan Cafes in Canggu I’m not vegan, but when I really think about it, the Indonesian diet is actually heavily plant-based. I grew up eating tempe, tofu, steamed mushrooms, stir-fried vegetables, and vegetable soups without ever thinking of them as “vegan food” - they were just normal everyday meals at home. Meat was often more of a side dish or something for special occasions, while vegetables, soy-based proteins, rice, and simple home cooking were the real foundation of the diet. In my family, at least. So now that I’m an adult with free will and access to basically any food I want, I still naturally enjoy vegetables every now and then. My parents eat almost entirely plant-based these days too, so I guess I still follow that rhythm - and living in Canggu definitely makes it easy, because vegan options are everywhere. Here’s a mix of places I’ve personally tried myself, plus a few recommendations from my friends too. You may also like this article: 5 Must-Visit Best Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas The Shady Shack They’ve been around for ages, and they’re proof that vegan and vegetarian food doesn’t have to be sad. Find colourful nourishing plates, vegan burgers, smoothie bowls, fresh juices, and raw vegan desserts in a relaxed jungle-like setting hidden away from the main road. 📍 Jl. Tanah Barak No.53, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Badung Regency, Bali⏰ Monday to Sunday, 7.30am-10.30pm Image credit: The Shady Shack Instagram I Am Vegan Babe This place has quite an extensive menu; vegan tacos, burgers, breakfast plates, desserts, cakes, smoothies, and comfort food that doesn’t feel “too healthy". hehe. The vibe is lively, social, modern, and it’s become pretty popular among travellers staying around Canggu. 📍 Jl. Tanah Barak No.49, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Badung Regency, Bali⏰ Monday to Sunday, 7am-10pm Image credit: I am Vegan Babe Instagram You may also like this article: Things to do in Bali - Fun Art Classes at Rumah Rabbit KYND Community When you spot a bright pink restaurant on Jalan Nelayan, that’s it, that’s KYND Community. And yes, the meals really are as cute in real life as they look on Instagram. You can build your own protein bowl, or go for pasta, burgers, sandwiches, smoothie bowls, and colourful brunch plates - because vegan food doesn’t always have to be salad, right? 📍 Jl. Nelayan No.31, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Bali⏰ Monday to Sunday, 7am-9pm Image credit: Kynd Community Instagram Warung Dua Hati I feel like this place is underrated, but if you’re craving vegan Indonesian food, give Warung Dua Hati a try. Alongside local dishes, they also serve Western meals and smoothie bowls too, so you still have plenty of options. Ps. “Dua Hati” means “two hearts,” so I’m guessing that’s why the rice is heart-shaped, hehe. 📍 Jl. Pantai Batu Mejan No.12D, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Bali⏰ Monday to Sunday, 7am-10pm Image credit: Warung Dua Hati Instagram Oma Jamu Here’s another vegan Indonesian spot worth trying. Oma Jamu has a warung-style display with ready-made dishes, which is perfect if you arrive starving and want to eat straight away. And from the name “Oma Jamu,” you can expect that they also have a great selection of homemade jamu (Indonesian traditional herbal drinks). 📍 Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.46A, Canggu, Bali ⏰ Mon–Sat 8AM–11PM, Sun 10AM–9PM Image credit: Oma Jamu Instagram Those are my five spots for now. But really, other than the vegan-labelled cafés, it’s super easy to find plant-based options everywhere in Canggu (and in Indonesia). Most restaurants are also pretty flexible these days and cater to all kinds of diets. Hope you find this useful, and stay tuned for more on the list.

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. FOR QUICK LUNCH AND BITES Deli CangguTony’s New York PizzaTygr SushiHoi An by MeVuiHEARTWARMING COMFORT FOODSoogi RollYumei NoodlesAnagaWei To GoFOR GIRLS NIGHT OUTS, BIRTHDAYS, AND OTHER CELEBRATIONSDing Ding Hot PotKhao BaliMuda by/SukaSazónDella TerraBEAUTIFUL SPOTS WITH GREAT FOOD FOR PROPER DATE NIGHTSCureShelterNumero QuattroLulu BistrotTHE HEALTHY ALTERNATIVESUnibowlTaco CasaWarung Coco You may also like this article: 10 Aesthetic Canggu Cafes and Restaurants FOR QUICK LUNCH AND BITES  Deli Canggu Sometimes it gets so hot in Bali that you don’t even feel like eating hot meals. 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. Pantai Berawa No.88, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung Image credit: Anaga Instagram You may also like this article: Bali on a Budget - Cheap Eats in Canggu for Under 100K Wei To Go I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t like Chinese food. I love all kinds of food and international cuisines, but I’m almost always in the mood for warm rice with stir-fried vegetables, dumplings, noodles, honey sesame chicken, or black pepper beef. So yeah, that’s how I know I was meant to be born in this world as an Asian. 💰 Price range: IDR 150K-250K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Sun, 11am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Sempol No.26, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Kabupaten Badung Image credit: Wei To Go Instagram 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  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. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Khao Bali Instagram You may also like this article: Breakfast Spots in Canggu Worth Waking Up Early For 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  Image credit: Muda by/Suka Instagram 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 Image credit: Sazón Instagram Della Terra Pasta lovers, don’t skip Della Terra while in Canggu. 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. Raya Tiyingtutul No.10, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi Image credit: Della Terra Instagram 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 You may also like this article: Vegan Cafes in Canggu - 5 Nice Spots for Your Daily Greens 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 Image credit: Shelter Instagram 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 Image credit: Numero Quattro Instagram 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.

You can have it with rice, like a poke bowl, or go all-in on greens - it’s already super filling because of the generous portion (sometimes I can’t even finish). You can also build your own bowl - which I always do because I’m picky, hehe. 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.

Where to Eat Indonesian Food in Bali: My Current Favourites

Where to eat Indonesian food in Bali. I enjoy all kinds of international cuisine, but being born Indonesian, I’ll always find myself coming back to Indonesian food for comfort, no matter where I am. There’s something grounding about it; the rich flavours, the familiarity, and the way it just feels like home in a way nothing else quite does. Here, I’ve put together a list of places I usually go to for my everyday Indonesian meals in Bali - nothing too fancy, but also not quite street food; somewhere in the middle where you can still get authentic, home-cooked-style flavours. I’ll be sharing more Indonesian-food related articles soon, including a babi guling list (suckling pig) and a selection of more elevated Indonesian dining experiences, but for now, here’s where to eat Indonesian food in Bali. You may also like this article: Bali on a Budget - Cheap Eats in Canggu for Under 100K Kuta, Legian, and Seminyak Warung Kolega Run by a lovely husband-and-wife team who are usually at the cashier, this local favourite is especially popular with nearby office workers during lunch. Like many traditional warungs, you'll find a display of pre-cooked dishes. While the menu features dishes from across Indonesia, most are prepared in the Javanese style - like their rendang (beef curry), it's sweeter rather than spicy. They also serve two of Indonesia's iconic soups: rawon (black beef soup), and soto ayam (chicken soup). Warung Kolega is perfect for when you're short on time but still want a proper home-style Indonesian meal. 📍 Location: Warung Kolega ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sat, 9am-8pm Image credit: Warung Kolega Instagram Warung Liku With just around 20K, you can get something filling, delicious, and quite healthy too. Their signature dish is ayam betutu, a Balinese spiced chicken, served in the form of nasi campur; rice and a selection of side dishes. The chicken is very aromatic, with a subtle wood-fire smokiness, and so tender it easily falls off the bone. 📍 Location: Warung Liku Nakula ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sun, 8am-3pm Image credit: Warung Liku's Instagram You may also like this article: Restaurants in Legian and Seminyak - Kata Bella's Picks 2026 Made's Warung They’re a true legend and an absolute must on this list, especially for those who have never been and are trying Indonesian food for the first time, before venturing into more local warungs and street food spots. I used to go often to the Kuta branch when I was little, and now I usually visit the Seminyak one. I still order the same favourite: half nasi goreng, half gado-gado (fried rice and Indonesian salad with peanut dressing) - simple, comforting, and always satisfying. 📍 Location: Made's Warung Seminyak ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sun, 10am-11.30pm Image credit: Made's Warung Instagram Waroeng Bernadette It's a great choice when you want a more refined Indonesian dining experience; the space is comfortable, the food presentation is nice, but the flavours stay authentic. The highlights for me are the beef rendang, the comforting sop buntut iga (beef rib soup), the classic sate ayam (chicken satay), and a warm bowl of bakso kuah (beef meatball soup) - all familiar dishes, done really well. 📍 Location: Waroeng Bernadette Seminyak ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sun, 11am-10pm Image credit: Waroeng Bernadette Instagram Canggu, Umalas, and Kerobokan RM. Aryani Their speciality is fish dishes, served either deep-fried or in sweet and sour soup. There are also side dishes like stir-fried bean sprouts, baby squid, prawns, my all-time favourite, otak-otak (fish cake) and many different types of sambal (chili paste). The restaurant itself has the kind of charm you’d find in Bali restaurants back in the 90s - nostalgic, and full of character. It’s best to visit RM Aryani in a group so you can order a variety of dishes and try a little bit of everything together. 📍 Location: RM. Aryani ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sun, 10am-10pm Image credit: RM. Aryani Instagram Dapoer Asia If you’re a traveller trying Indonesian food for the first time, this is a great place to start. The flavours are authentic enough for locals to enjoy, but not too heavy on herbs and spices, making it really approachable for first-timers - it’s good value too for a nice restaurant, not overpriced. They serve all the comforting dishes you’d expect from a home-cooked Indonesian meal, from nasi liwet (fragrant rice), soto ayam (Indonesian chicken soup), and sayur asem (sour soup) to sate ayam (chicken satay) and bakwan jagung (corn fritters). Make sure to save some room for their dessert drinks like es cincau (grass jelly drink) and es campur (mixed shaved ice). 📍 Location: Dapoer Asia ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sun, 10am-9.30pm Image credit: Dapoer Asia Instagram You may also like this article: My Little Canggu Restaurant List - Part 1 Ayam Kampung & Rawon Bu Ros I like to think that in Java, if a restaurant has a photo of the owner on the sign, it’s usually good - because most of the time, it really is! Haha. Their signature dish is rawon, a rich beef soup with a deep black broth originated from East Java, but their soto ayam and fried chicken are just as good and really comforting after a long day. It’s a very local spot, but I’ve started seeing more foreigners trying rawon there lately and actually enjoying it, which is really nice to see. Rawon is life! 📍 Location: Ayam Kampung & Rawon Bu Ros ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sun, 10am-10pm Image credit: Bu Ros Instagram Warung Sundari It’s a warung-style restaurant where the food is already pre-cooked, and you simply pick what you want from the display. There are so many options that, very often, I find it hard to choose. The menu rotates with Indonesian favourites, covering all kinds of proteins like fish, chicken, and beef, plus plenty of vegetables from beans and carrots to broccoli. They also mix it up with a few international dishes now and then, like chicken teriyaki or beef stew. 📍 Location: Warung Sundari ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sat, 9am-7pm Image credit: Warung Sundari Google Page Hope this list helps you find a few comforting Indonesian food spots in Bali that you’ll keep coming back to, just like I do.
