Expert Opinion about The Best restaurants in Canggu

I have been living in Bali for ten years. After the pandemic, I decided to move from Jimbaran to Canggu, which has always been the busiest town in Bali. Well-known as the best area for wellness and a food paradise!

So, here are my selections of the best restaurants in Canggu:

The Shelter, The Grumpy Butcher, and Milk Madu

The reason why these make up my best selection is because of the quality of the food and beverages, the taste, the service, the friendly staff, the pleasant settings, the ambience, and the vibes. All together, these make up an unforgettable dining experience!

If you are concerned about Canggu’s traffic, this might hold you back from coming, but the temptation of the food makes it worth visiting! Enjoy Bali.
