Expert Opinion about Restaurants in Canggu

Talking about the restaurant scene in Canggu is exciting because it slowly matches Seminyak as the ultimate culinary spot in Bali. The creative takes on classic cuisine is closest to what Ubud and Nusa Dua have done. Add the Kuta buzzing vibe and the surfing culture a la Uluwatu, your dining experience in Canggu may contrast to the laid-back vibe of Sanur or Gili Air, but certainly can go toes-to-toes with Gili Trawangan.
