Brunch in Bali: Rediscovering Legian through Farmer’s Daughter

Brunch in Bali: Rediscovering Legian through Farmer’s Daughter Image

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 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.

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.

So yeah, if you still think of Legian as an “old” neighbourhood, maybe you just haven’t explored it enough! Hehe. Try parking your scooter along the main Legian street and wandering through the smaller alleys like Gang Padma and beyond. You’ll be surprised by how many lovely spots are tucked away just a few steps from the busy road.

And if you’re on holiday, bonus points: Farmer’s Daughter is close to the airport, making it the perfect stop after you’ve checked out of your hotel for that one last cup of coffee in Bali before flying home. You’re welcome! 😉

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. Thank you for reading and until my next article!

Breakfast Spots in Canggu Worth Waking Up Early For Image

Breakfast Spots in Canggu Worth Waking Up Early For

Breakfast spots in Canggu I’m not a morning person, but I will wake up early for a warm cup of piccolo, croissants, a nice plate of eggs, bacon, baked beans, and toast that I don’t have to cook myself. Canggu really feels like it’s made for early birds though - everywhere you look in the morning, breakfast spots are always packed; from healthy to hearty, to the occasional naughty breakfast, hehe. But sometimes having too many options makes it hard to decide where to eat. So here, I’ve picked a few of my favourites for you to try - maybe one each day if you haven’t already, depending on what you’re craving. If you want to skip breakfast and go straight to lunch, or are planning a nice dinner out, you can check out my other dining list article here: My Little Canggu Restaurant List - Part 1 My Little Canggu Restaurant List - Part 2 Canteen Cafe I’ve been going to Canteen for years and basically take everyone here; friends, parents, dates, tourists, because this place is pretty laid-back and not as pricey as most breakfast spots in Canggu. I always order the same thing (I know, I know!): the Honky Tonk - homemade hash browns with poached eggs, smashed avo, bacon, and salsa. That said, I’ve tried other things on the menu every now and then, and they’re mostly good.  Canteen, if you’re reading this, please never remove the Honky Tonk from the menu or I’ll cry, kthxbye. 💰 Price range: IDR 60K-150K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 7am-4.30pm 📍 Address: Jl. Batu Mejan Canggu No.33, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali  Image credit: Canteen Cafe Instagram Rise and Shine It’s a breakfast spot that makes you go “aww” the second your food arrives. Everything is beautifully plated, but then you take a bite and realise it actually delivers. Not just pretty for Instagram, but genuinely good. Think colourful smoothie bowls, or rolled pancakes, combined with good coffee, it’s your everyday comfort breakfast but a little extra special.  Ps. There’s also another Rise and Shine in Umalas Bumbak if you happen to be around the area. 💰 Price range: IDR 50K-150K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 7am-5pm 📍 Address: Jl. Padang Linjong No.71, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali  Image credit: Rise and Shine Instagram You may also like this article: Best Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas Island Bagels Despite the name making it pretty obvious that they sell bagels, the one thing I always order from them is...their breakfast wrap, lol! Thank you so much, Island Bagels, for keeping the Hangover Wrap on the menu for what feels like forever, because it’s still my favourite. You definitely don’t need to be hungover to enjoy this naughty little breakfast; beef patty, bacon, melted cheddar, and chilli mayo all wrapped up in one delicious bite. I’m sure their bagels are amazing too, so you should definitely give those a try, hehe. Ps. There are two Island Bagels' locations, one in Berawa and one in Pererenan. 💰 Price range: IDR 60K-150K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 8am-12am 📍 Address: Jalan Pantai Berawa, Tibubeneng, Kuta Utara, Canggu Image credit: Island Bagels Instagram Gather Gather around, picky eaters! *pun intended. I want to share a breakfast spot where you can build your own breakfast, so you don’t have to stress the wait staff with requests like: “Can I have only avocado slices, two eggs sunny side up (medium well, please), with bacon..but without this and that?” *guilty. Here, you can totally be that person - and if customising your own plate isn’t your thing, they also have a regular a la carte menu with plenty of classic options to choose from.💰 Price range: IDR 100K-250K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 8.30am-5pm📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Pererenan No.98, Pererenan, Badung Image credit: Gather Instagram Fold Good pastries, good coffee, plus aircon in Bali’s heat while most Canggu cafes are open-air - and that, kids, is how Fold wins every time. Do come early, as pastries can sell out pretty quickly. They also have cakes and proper cooked breakfast if you’re in the mood for eggs benny and all that, but I go to Fold mainly for the croissants (and sometimes donuts hehehe). 💰 Price range: IDR 50K-200K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 7am-6pm 📍 Address: Jl. Nelayan No.31, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Fold Instagram Butterman I used to live walking distance from Butterman, and there was a time when my diet consisted of maybe 80% almond croissants - it’s hard not to. Once or twice, I did order their breakfast menu as well, which they have alongside freshly baked pastries every day. But I usually go to Butterman for their croissants which they claim are “hotter than your man”…But I’m not quite sure how to tell them they’re wrong though, because I’m secretly married to Ryan Gosling.  💰 Price range: 50K-150K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 6.30am-6pm 📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Berawa No.10, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Butterman Instagram Gigi Susu I still have no clue why so many people line up to take photos in front of Gigi Susu’s tiny booth, but I do know why they do it for the croissants, hehe. Getting their pain au chocolat can be quite a mission - if you want to beat the crowd, you’ve got to show up super early. I’ve only ever ordered their pastries to go and eaten them at home, hiding from the world. They’re pretty good, and huge! Oh, also, they have a dining area now too, so maybe next time I'll stay and have a big breakfast there. 💰 Price range: 50K-100K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 6am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.80, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali  Image credit: Gigi Susu Instagram You may also like this article: Bali on a Budget - Cheap Eats in Canggu for Under 100K Milk and Madu This place has been around in Canggu for quite some time and now has branches in other locations too, and it’s still top of mind for a lazy weekend brunch, whether with friends or solo. They’ve got all the usual comfort breakfast and brunch classics like eggs benny and the rest, but I cannot not order their salted caramel cheesecake every time. Rules of society don’t exist on weekends…in Bali. You want cheesecake for breakfast? You have cheesecake for breakfast. 💰 Price range: 60K-150K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 7am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Berawa Jl. Tegal Sari No.52, Tibubeneng, Kec.

They have all the classic all-time favourites like butter croissants, plus must-tries like Louie’s eggs benedict and croque madame. Simple and indulgent - the kind of slow morning vibe I love. 💰 Price range: 40K-200K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 9am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Munduk Kedungu No.39, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Badung, Bali Image credit: Little Frenchie Instagram Canggu can be crazy, but it has all the things I’ve come to consider basic needs, like good croissants, healthy breakfasts, and quick, easy spots nearby that open super early. Little joys like that fix everything a slow morning is supposed to. Also, half the joy here is not having to think too hard about where to go next… just follow the cravings, show up a little hungry, and let Bali do its thing. And if you end up ordering cheesecake for breakfast or queuing for pastries at 6AM, I fully support your life choices. Thank you for reading, and until my next foodie article! *chom chom chom

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

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

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. Cheap Eats in Canggu You may also like this article: 5 Must-Visit Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas 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 Image credit: Warung Sika Instagram 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 Image credit: Warung Tiga Instagram You may also like this article: Bali Home Bakeries to Sweeten Your Celebrations 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 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.

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  Image credit: Mie and More Instagram 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!
