Shelter Bali

Like its name, Shelter aims to give you a hideout among the buzzing Canggu crowd. Chef Stephen Moore, whose experience includes Michelin-starred restaurants in Barcelona and Sydney, has created mouthwatering menus for you to dig into. The crackling sound and smell of the open charcoal grill and smoke from coffee wood deliver a distinctive Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine flavour to your palate.

The striking stone and recycled timber in its semi-outdoor seating area and the tropical plants surrounding it create a laid-back atmosphere that envelops you once you step inside the restaurant. Shelter turns into an intimate space when the night falls and candles are lit. There is no better place than Shelter to share stories with a glass of wine and a signature black-angus rib-eye steak for an unforgettable evening.

Reservation

Dinner time is hectic, so making a reservation is mandatory. To do so, head to Shelter’s official website, click on the Reservation button, and choose the date and time of your visit. You can also book through WhatsApp should you need any more assistance.

Parking

The Shelter’s parking is spacious enough for motorbikes, though when it’s full you need assistance from the parking attendant. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about cars, as parking is slightly limited.

Service

From the get-go, the reception staff was accommodating with the reservation before showing us our preferred table. The service staff was super friendly too and even gave us recommendations for orders.

Why do we choose Shelter?

There are reasons why Shelter is one of the busiest restaurants in Pererenan. The rural aesthetic, mingled with the Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern flavours,  complement each other in perfect sync, making everyone feel welcome in its lush cocoon.

There is nothing else to be said about the food as everything we ordered was beyond expectations. Despite the high price tag, you get the laid-back vibes, the intimate space, and a nice dinner. Secure your table and experience all the great things about Shelter for yourself!

    Very much enjoyed the evening at the restaurant. We had roasted eggplant, scallops, prawns, and a dessert. All dishes were very delicious and the service was obliging. A „Must-Visit“ when you are in Bali!

    My favorite restaurant in Bali🙏🏽✨Shelter provides a great dining experience with its relaxed, candlelight ambiance. The menu has delicious Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes. The food is unique, and the service is top-notch, thanks in part to the talented chefs behind it all and Scott who made our night even more special. Highly recommended!

Hi everyone! My name is Catur, and I was born and raised in Central Java. I moved to Bali in 2011 but left the island in 2016 before returning in 2018. Bali feels more than a home to me, and maybe that’s why my name feels like a premonition. Catur means four, both in the Balinese and Javanese languages. It is spoken like ‘c’ in chess, which is also the meaning of my name in Indonesian.
