The Ultimate Canggu Restaurant List by Kata Bella Image

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 

Canggu Restaurant

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

Bali Restaurant - Sazon Canggu

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

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

Canggu Restaurant

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

Canggu Restaurant

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

THE HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES

Unibowl

If you want salads that don’t make you sad, Unibowl is the one. 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

10 Aesthetic Canggu Cafes and Restaurants

Aesthetic Canggu Cafes and Restaurants I don’t pick a cafe or restaurant just because it’s cute - but I’ll admit, when a place has a nice interior and a comfortable space, I’m way more tempted to check it out. People these days call it “Instagrammable” (not really a word I love using), but for me it’s less about the photos and more about how genuinely happy I feel sitting in a space that looks and feels good. Canggu definitely has plenty of that aesthetic energy, but I’ve also made sure to pick spots that I actually enjoyed eating at - not just looking at. Anyway, if hunting down aesthetic Canggu cafes and restaurants is on your Bali itinerary, I hope this little list leads you to a few places you’ll like as much as I did.

The whole place has this rustic, earthy vibe with natural materials and a cosy feel. The menu follows the same mindful approach, with Japanese-inspired dishes, healthy salads, as well as other comfort meals like cheeseburger and the classic eggs Benedict for breakfast. ⏰ Opening hours: Mon-Sun, 9am-8pm 📍 Google Map: Bokashi Berawa Image credit: Bokashi Instagram Arti Salad Bar With its unique cave-inspired design and a touch of greenery, this cafe feels like a hidden garden escape right on the main road. The space is beautifully designed while still being practical for those looking to work. The winning point is that there are plenty of power outlets at almost every table. Beyond the aesthetics, they also serve great coffee alongside fresh and nutritious meals from breakfast to dinner. ⏰ Opening hours: Mon-Sun, 7am-8pm 📍 Google Map: Arti Salad Bar Bread Basket The name pretty much gives it away - Bread Basket is where you go for freshly baked bread, sourdough, bagels, and coffee. But their breakfast menu is also worth checking out. Add in the warm interiors and cosy corners, and you have the perfect excuse to slow down and stay awhile. They also have branches in Sanur and Kerobokan. ⏰ Opening hours: Mon-Sun, 7am-5pm 📍 Google Map: Bread Basket Canggu Image credit: Bread Basket Canggu Google Page You may also like this article: My Little Canggu Restaurant List - Part 2 Woods Pererenan Walking into Woods Pererenan feels a little like a treehouse. The restaurant was designed around the existing trees, so you’ll see actual trees as part of the space. The highlight for me is their Sunday Roast, a weekly treat that invites you to spend your Sunday the way it should be: slow, unhurried, and with good food. ⏰ Opening hours: Mon-Sun, 8am-11pm 📍 Google Map: Woods Pererenan Image credit: Woods Pererenan Instagram Penny Lane This place is popular for a reason- giant archways, textured walls, vintage-inspired furniture, earthy tones, and sunlight hitting every corner perfectly during golden hour. It feels like a botanical wonderland - a place for gathering or special occasions. They also have quite an extensive menu, from classic breakfast dishes and burgers to steak and Indonesian favourites. ⏰ Opening hours: Mon-Sun, 8am-12am 📍 Google Map: Penny Lane Image credit: Penny Lane Instagram THE COLOURFUL ONES Studio Pepe This new addition to Canggu’s dining scene will lure you in with its super cute exterior - it almost doesn’t feel like you’re in Bali. But once you step inside, the vibe shifts completely. It’s a smart dining kind of place, serving a proper Italian menu from antipasti and pizza to pasta and, of course, dessert. The highlights for us were the chicken al mattone and linguine al limone. So yes, this place is not just pretty - the food is genuinely delicious too. ⏰ Opening hours: Tue-Sun, 11am-11pm 📍 Google Map: Studio Pepe Monsieur Spoon The Luc I still remember when Monsieur Spoon was just a little shop in Umalas, and I’d walk there from my aunt’s villa for chocolate tartlets and plain croissants. Now they’re everywhere - not just in Bali, but in big cities all over Indonesia too. Anyway, among all their branches, I find the one at The Luc Canggu especially cute and comfy. They also have a proper dining menu here, so it’s not just pastries and cakes. ⏰ Opening hours: Mon-Sun, 7am-10pm 📍 Google Map: Monsieur Spoon The Luc Image credit: Monsieur Spoon The Luc Google Page You may also like this article: Breakfast Spots in Canggu Worth Waking Up Early For Mara This one is a little further out, technically not in Canggu, but close enough and it's worth mentioning. And if you haven’t explored the Tumbak Bayuh area yet, now’s a good time. It’s much quieter than central Canggu, with plenty of hidden gems like this spot, Mara. It instantly catches your eye the moment you walk in, with bold colours and a fun, playful vibe. The menu isn’t too extensive, but it has everything you need for a good, easy lunch. There’s also a little corner with cute merchandise you can browse while you’re there. ⏰ Opening hours: Mon-Sat, 7.30am-6.30pm 📍 Google Map: Mara Mata Warung, but make it cool. The space is huge and full of personality. You’ll be greeted by super cool murals that kind of set the whole vibe from the moment you walk in. There’s a little shop right at the entrance, a vinyl room tucked at the back, and a lush garden space that’s perfect for private events. Don’t expect traditional warung prices here, though - it’s more of a proper restaurant experience dressed in warung concept (they have a la carte menu too). Familiar flavours, but elevated in a way that’s still approachable and fun. ⏰ Opening hours: Sun-Thu 10am-10pm, Fri-Sat 10am-2am 📍 Google Map: Mata Berawa Image credit: Mata Berawa Instagram Brother Goose Sitting right next to The Garden Bali Kindy, it naturally carries that same playful, family-friendly energy - and of course you can expect a fun but nutritious kids’ menu here. The space is colourful and cheerful, not just in the interiors but also in the menu, haha! Think vibrant smoothies, green pesto omelette, and French toast with berries. ⏰ Opening hours: Mon-Sun, 7am-4pm 📍 Google Map: Brother Goose Image credit: Brother Goose Instagram At the end of the day, it’s not really about “Instagrammable” spots, but places that make you feel good when you’re in them. Somewhere you don’t rush through, somewhere you actually sit, eat, talk, and just be. Hope you find this list useful and thank you for reading!

New Canggu Restaurant Has Arrived: Mykaza at The Arc House Image

07 Jul 2026 by Bella in Eats

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.

Sazón Bali : Spanish flavours in Canggu Image

Sazón Bali : Spanish flavours in Canggu

Spanish Restaurant in Canggu Bali is such a melting pot of cultures, and as a food lover, I feel like the dining options here are endless. I love Indonesian and Balinese food, of course - but I also enjoy trying dishes from other countries. One of the things I really appreciate about living in Bali is that I can explore so many different cuisines without having to travel far. Not long ago, a friend of mine from Regent Bali Canggu invited me to the grand opening of one of their new restaurants, Sazón. They gave us a little sneak peek of what’s on the menu during the party, and it made me want to come back for more. And I did! I went back to Sazon, and here’s a little story about my evening filled with delicious Spanish food and good company. I rarely eat Spanish food and, I gotta be honest, I didn’t know much beyond the famous paella. But Chef Javier passionately walked us through each dish as he served our dinner, from starters to dessert - and I soaked it all up like story time on a plate. I enjoyed every bite. Here’s what we had.  You may also like this article: What it's like to live in Bali - Cost, Culture, and Everyday Life Gilda “Look it up on Google,” Chef Javier said. Turns out Gilda is a 1946 black-and-white romance film starring Rita Hayworth. So, why was the Gilda on my plate marinated tuna with olives and peppers? hehe. Well, Gilda is a classic Spanish tapa named after the film because, just like the movie, it’s bold, salty, and full of spicy flavour. It was a lovely intro to the courses that followed.  Pa Amb Tomàquet As simple as it looks, and as basic as it sounds on the menu; bread, tomato, ham - this dish tasted like so much more than just those three elements. I’m not exactly sure where all the flavour came from, but wow, my taste buds and tummy did a little happy dance. The ham isn’t your average ham, it’s Jamón Ibérico, a premium cured pork from Spain. I could’ve easily eaten a whole plate of it, but there was more food on the way, and I had to save some room in my tiny stomach. Croquetas The name pretty much says it all. We have an Indonesian version called kroket - pronounced the same. We tried the one filled with mushrooms, and it was deliciosa! You may like this article: Bali-based Home Bakeries to Sweeten Your Celebrations Japanese Scallop, Ajoblanco Just when I thought it was time for the main course, another round of sharing bites arrived. At this point, I started to regret my fitted outfit choice! Haha, I probably left Sazón looking three months pregnant (with food baby, of course). Okay, back to the dish - I’m a big seafood fan, especially scallops, and everything in this one worked perfectly together: dill, cucumber, almonds. Patatas Bravas Potatoes - but make it fancy, with aioli and spicy tomato. I’ve always loved potatoes in any form, but I didn’t know there was another kind to love… until this. Ibérico Grilled Pork & Mushroom Paella And here it is - the main event and the highlight of my evening: the paella. Rich, comforting, and full of flavour, this dish perfectly combines tender Ibérico grilled pork with earthy mushrooms. Even though it’s not something I eat often, it tasted very comforting and somehow familiar. Santiago Cake, Orange Curd & Toasted Meringue I’m a dessert person, and I believe there’s always room for dessert—but we were heading into a serious food coma, so we decided to share the Santiago cake, a Spanish almond cake. It’s flourless and moist with a sponge-like texture—not too sweet, with a lovely hint of citrus from the orange curd. All in all, Sazón is a great addition to Canggu’s buzzing dining scene. Whether you’re into Spanish food or just here for a tasty night out like me, they serve up good vibes and even better dishes. Their tagline, “más amor, por favor” (more love, please), totally fits - you can tell everything’s made with a lot of love. Can’t wait to go back and try even more from the menu.
