Best Restaurants in Canggu 2026: 43 Places to Eat

Meimei (Mandarin for "little sister") cooks everything over wood and charcoal, drawing on Balinese, Batak, Javanese and Minangkabau cooking, in a room built around a circular cocktail bar and an open fire kitchen.

Order the Papuan crab opor on toast, the 15-hour short ribs with green-anchovy sambal and the spit-roasted organic chicken with sambal bakar. It is dinner only, and the bar runs until 2 AM.

The restaurant once called Mason now trades as MASONRY. Bar | Grill: a 100-seat room by designer Kelvin Ho in concrete, stone and wood around an open kitchen, with sister venues in Uluwatu and Niseko.

The kitchen makes its own cheese and cured meats. Go for the 48-hour short rib with chimichurri, the wood-roasted lamb shoulder or hummus with burnt chilli butter and wood-fired flatbread, then move on to The Back Room, the hidden cocktail and DJ bar behind the restaurant. Chop House, a separate steak room, opens Tuesday to Saturday.

CURE is one of Canggu's most notable restaurant openings of 2026: chef Andrew Walsh, whose CURE in Singapore earned a Michelin star, opened his Bali restaurant in 2026 at the oceanfront Regent Bali Canggu.

The cooking is seafood-led and built on curing, served to share: citrus-cured hamachi, kombu-cured Hokkaido scallop and giant river prawn with a tom yum bisque, plus potato bread with salmon roe. Bar Nua, inside, does cocktails.

BELLA on Jalan Pantai Berawa calls its food "wood-fired soul food": Mediterranean and Middle Eastern plates from executive chef Oğuz Karadoğan, meant for sharing with cocktails.

The signature is potato and caviar with truffled yoghurt; the shrimp dumplings with yoghurt and the slow-cooked lamb shank are worth ordering too. Later in the night dinner turns into DJ sets, and there are weekly Taverna nights.

Chef Wayan Kresna Yasa cooked in Michelin-rated kitchens in New York and Chicago and created Kaum for Potato Head before opening HOME in Pererenan.

Chefs Cameron Emirali and Kieran Morland first cooked together in London and opened Luma on Batu Bolong in 2022, in a former villa redone with marble mosaic floors and white arches.

Pony opened in Berawa in 2026 as a wood-fired restaurant, cocktail bar and lounge in one: burgundy walls, low light and a covered terrace that runs into the bar, so dinner drifts into late drinks without changing rooms. The cooking is modern European with a quiet Japanese touch.

Start with Murotsu Bay oysters in smoked ginger tosazu or the smoked short rib croquettes, then share the grilled Papuan tiger prawns in peri-peri butter, the short rib agnolotti and the 400g smoked and wood-fired pork tomahawk. The carbonated house cocktails, like the Velvet Pony and the Picante Blanc with mezcal and tepache, suit the later hours, and tasting menus start at IDR 550,000 per person.
