Hidden in plain sight in a busy corner of Canggu, Shelter Restaurant has a tropical boho style that you'll instantly fall in love with. This restaurant is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also has a chill vibe that's perfect for a long day brunch with friends or a quiet solo lunch. The interior is dominated by natural wood and greenery, making the environment airy and homey. Their menu is Mediterranean-inspired fusion, with plenty of healthy options that are beautifully plated and packed with flavor. From the bright smoothie bowls, eggs benedict with a unique twist, to quality espresso from professional baristas — all made with love.

Our experts experience from Shelter Restaurant

Reservation

For the less fussy among you, good news: coming to Shelter without a reservation is usually not a problem, especially on weekdays. But if you're planning to come on weekends or in a crowd, especially during brunch time (around 10 AM to 1 PM), it's better to reserve via WhatsApp or Instagram since the process is also pretty quick.

Parking

Parking in Canggu can be tricky, but Shelter is quite friendly. They have a decent motorcycle parking area in front of the restaurant. For cars, you might have to move around a bit and look for spots on the surrounding roads, but it's still doable as long as it's not during peak hours.

Service

From the warm welcome upon entering to the deft and friendly staff, the service at Shelter ensures that your dining experience is super enjoyable. The staff is very helpful, ready to help explain the menu or give recommendations. The food comes beautifully plated, and the waiting time is reasonable, even when it's busy. Plus point: they also pay attention to detail, like always checking if the food is to your liking or if you need anything extra.

Why Do We Choose Shelter Restaurant

We love Shelter because it's not just a place to eat but a place to hang out with a vibe that's perfect for any occasion, literally. Be it a casual brunch, a work-from-cafe, or a hangout with friends. The vibe is tropical and earthy yet modern and Instagrammable. Their menu is no joke either: from healthy bowls to brunch classics, everything is served with just the right portion and consistently good taste. Their strategic location in Canggu makes it easy to access, and their fast & friendly service makes us always want to come back for more. Plus, they have plenty of plant-based and dairy-free options to suit all eating preferences. It just ticks all the boxes!

We were already pretty full when we went to Shelter in Pererenan, but since it’s one of the most popular dinner spots and our cousin’s favourite, we had to give it a go — and honestly, it lived up to the hype. The standout dish for me was the crispy pork — super clean, not oily at all, and just melted in your mouth. I wasn’t huge on the sweet sauce it came with, but a bit of salt helped balance it out. The other highlight was the spiced lamb flatbread — rich, flavour-packed, a little salty, but I loved every bite. The bone marrow was a favourite among the group too, especially paired with this insanely well-buttered, toasted bread — proper indulgent. The crispy potatoes were perfect with the pork, and the chickpea hummus with bread was a great starter to share. Everyone seemed to rave about the scallops, but coming from Australia, I found them a bit underwhelming — small and kind of drowned out by a sweet sauce. That said, the overall vibe, service, and experience made it a spot worth visiting.

One of my favorites in the greater Canggu/Pererenan area. I’ve been back maybe 5 times and have tried almost the entire dinner menu. My personal must-orders are the lamb shoulder pita and the scallops, but there are hardly any fails.
