Of course, they also serve great coffee and some refreshing drinks which you can enjoy on their little terrace or inside where you can admire the whole decor better.

4. Cinta Cafe – amazing rice fields views
Lunch with a view of the Balinese rice fields? Yes, please! This famous cafe offers such a beautiful setting and a great vibe! Oh yeah and such good coffee that you’ll want to come back for more!
If you’re coming with your little ones then you’ll be happy to know there’s a kid’s playground! But coming back to the food, I think you should definitely try their smoothie bowl if you’re craving something sweet. I also hear their hummus is also pretty fantastic (and a great dish if you need some grounding)!
Location: Jl. Pantai Berawa No.69
5. Woods – cool place with live music
If you like live music then definitely pay a visit to this cool Canggu restaurant this weekend as they play jazz music! What I liked about this place was the natural wood aesthetic and its vibrant atmosphere!
Of course, the fact that they had an amazing choice of high-quality teas (they even call it a library) was a big plus! They also had lots of healthy goodies including a yummy shakshuka, lots of colorful fruit bowls and other tempting dishes.
Location: Jl. Dalem Lingsir No.8
6. Honey – for a sweet breakfast
Start your morning with some quality food at this awesome restaurant! Whether you order their smoothie bowl, ricotta pancakes, avocado toast, or anything else from the super appealing menu, it’ll be a good choice!
And yes, the coffee is strong. You can enjoy it inside, as they have a nice decor, super simple and modern or take it to go and head to Echo Beach if you’re too eager to sit on the sandy shores.
Location: Jl. Pantai Pererenan No.132
7. Rize – best vegan restaurant
Having a hard time finding the best restaurants in Canggu that serve vegan dishes? Well, I think you should give this place a try! They kind of serve a Western cuisine with an Indian twist which will throw your taste buds over the roof!
Definitely give their dosa masala a try, and if you’re in the mood for something fruity their dragon bowl is also a must, or the pancakes for those who have a sweet tooth!
Location: Jl. Pantai Pererenan No.150
8. Sensorium – great fusion restaurant
I know no one likes to wait in the morning for anything, especially food! But trust me, this place is so worth it even though there is a small waiting time if you’re coming in during rush hour.
What I liked about this place was the super interesting Asian twist to the food, like Korean scrambled eggs and other interesting dishes. I think you should also give their ice cream sandwich a try especially if you dig the combination of sweet and salty!
Location: Jl. Pantai Batu Mejan

Just like its brother in Ubud, this place in Canggu really cares about the food quality and you can see that in every dish they prepare! Smoothie bowls, pad thai, you name it, they make everything taste and look absolutely delicious!
It’s not a rule for all food served at a restaurant, but most of the time you can really tell by the color of each plate and dish how fresh or good the food is. Definitely give that a try and tell me your opinion!
