Skool Kitchen

We stopped by SKOOL Kitchen in Canggu to get the full experience, and it’s safe to say it delivered on all fronts. The open-plan setup is a total winner—with the open kitchen and outdoor seating offering unbeatable oceanfront views. This place is all about pure, bold flavors, where every dish meets the flame for that signature, smoky touch.

Founded by Tai Buddha and Adam MacAsey (the minds behind The Lawn and Bossman), SKOOL Kitchen makes our list of the best restaurants in Canggu for a reason. Our favorite? A perfectly grilled steak enjoyed with the waves crashing at Batu Bolong Beach. It’s the kind of oceanfront restaurant in Canggu that gets everything right: great food, relaxed vibes, and a sunset view that seals the deal.

Our experts expierence from Skool Kitchen

Reservation

We suggest making an advanced booking via their official website as the place is pretty popular once it opens and during dinner time. We don’t suggest walk-ins to avoid the disappointment of not getting a table.

Parking

Sharing the same ground with The Lawn ensures that you can easily find a parking spot, whether you drive a car or ride a motorbike.

Service

We applauded the staff’s attentiveness from the time we made the reservation until we sat at our table. The food arrived reasonably quickly and the server ensured that everything was to our liking.

Why do we choose Skool Kitchen?

Primitive and modern are two opposite qualities but, at SKOOL Kitchen, the cooking style and contemporary layout complement each other beautifully. The grilled seafood and meat menus are the stars here, and prompt service plus a delightful seating area make the dining experience ten times better.

SKOOL Kitchen is a rare place in Canggu because they not only sell the view but also the excellent food. Perfect for a meet-up and even a date, look no further than SKOOL Kitchen if you want your dinner to be fulfilling, both literally and figuratively.

Our second night in Bali. This restaurant came highly recommended. The steak and sides were exceptional and the service was immaculate. A special shout out to Captian Jack Sparrow ( the name he goes by ) he was brilliant ! It’s a little on the higher end of price range in terms of the wine which was underwhelming for the cost however it was made up for by the food ! Would recommend and would come again !

Went to skool a couple times already in the past, good food good service, but this time it was meh. Food came late, took a good 45-50 minutes. Every other table that was filled with foreigners was attended very well, waters are refilled, they were asked about the food etc. my table was completely abandoned, no refills, no “how was the food” its disappointing. Do better.

A little pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for 😍 great service, delicious food, beautiful sunset views, and a lively outdoor setting. 🌅🤍 The outdoor seating can feel a little packed, with tables quite close together, so it’s not the most private. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience and loved the vibe.

Hi, Catur here. I’ve been living in Bali for 12 years, and you bet I’ve done all the temple visits and explored Bali’s best beaches and waterfalls. Adding my hospitality background and 13+ years of fiction writing to the mix (four self-published Indonesian books and a 2020 Wattys Award), I’ve shared the local insight about 100+ restaurants, cafes, bars, hotels, and beach clubs on the island, because I want you to get the best experience!
