Bali for Foodies

Crumb & Coaster quickly became our go-to for breakfast in Kuta. The coffee here is top-notch, rich, smooth, and the perfect pick-me-up to start the day. We would love to come back just for the avocado toast, which was so tasty, super fresh, and loaded with toppings. The whole café has a cool, laid-back vibe that made it easy to linger over breakfast and plan our day there. It’s one of those spots that just gets everything right, from the food to the atmosphere, making it just perfect.

This restaurant was recommended by a local who promised us the best Balinese home-cooked meal we could find, and they were spot on. The rich spices and tender meats tasted like they had been slow-cooked with love, just like a home kitchen would. The sambal is no joke, spicy and addictive. It’s one of those places where you walk out feeling like you’ve just had a family meal.

This is the perfect spot for a delicious local meal. We started with some cocktails, and they were as creative as they were refreshing. The menu is a cool mix of Indonesian and Western dishes, and everything we tried hit the spot. Certainly the best warung in Canggu, we look forward to coming back to this place.

This hotel gave us exactly what we needed. A clean, comfy place to crash after our days of exploring Denpasar. The rooms are basic, but the staff more than makes up for it with their warmth and helpfulness. They were always ready with a smile and some great tips for getting around the city. The location is super central, which made it easy for us to dive into the local culture and check out the markets. It’s nothing fancy, but for budget travelers, it’s a solid choice that feels like home.

This resort was our little oasis in the heart of Kuta. It’s a budget-friendly spot, but with a beautiful pool and tropical gardens that made it feel way more luxurious. The rooms were simple but comfy, and it was awesome to be just a short walk from the beach. We spent our days lounging by the pool and our evenings strolling to the beach to catch the sunset. It wasn’t just a place to stay. It truly felt like a home away from home.

Okay, so Waroeng Sushi in Canggu totally blew us away. We weren’t expecting much, but the sushi here is legit, super fresh and flavorful. It’s a small spot, nothing fancy, but the quality is right up there with some of the best sushi we’ve had. We let the chef take the reins with an omakase, and every bite was a pleasant surprise. If you’re in Bali and craving sushi, this is the place to go.

We were looking for something nourishing and stumbled upon this gem. The food is all plant-based and raw, but it’s so flavorful and creative, you don’t even miss the cooked stuff. The raw desserts are a game-changer and the food incorporates the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, Chinese, Macrobiotic perspective. It’s the kind of place where you leave feeling good. If you’re into the idea that food can be medicine, this place is a must-visit.
