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.

    We booked Skool as recommended by a friend for my birthday dinner and it definitely did not disappoint! Every dish that came out just impressed us more and more, and had to be some of the best food we’ve ever had. The kingfish tartare is a must try, it was hard to pick, but this, the gnocchi and the bone marrow were our personal faves. The staff were absolutely lovely, very friendly, chatty and social. This is the perfect place to come for a special occasion, and watching the sunset with a couple cocktails just topped off the evening - Thank you to all the staff!

    One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in years! To say every dish was perfect is an understatement. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive and made my birthday one to remember. I will be back every time I come to Bali.

    Had a wonderful birthday/anniversary experience. Very lovely and attentive staff who went above and beyond to make the night memorable! The food was impeccable (like wow) and the “feed me” menu meant we got to try so many things! Highly recommend this place for a special and memorable meal!! Will be returning!

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.
