"Ji at Bale Sutra 1706 Equal parts fine-dining restaurant, cocktail bar, and antique gallery, Ji blends Chinese, Japanese, and Balinese culture with modern Japanese cuisine and cocktails. The restaurant is located inHotel Tugu, one of the first luxury hotels in Canggu. An Indonesian collector rescued anornate 18th-century Chinese temple from destruction in Java and had it rebuilt here to housethe restaurant. Ji'smenu features exquisitely prepared sushiand sashimi platters, as well as items that reflectinfluences from Japanese communities in Peru, China, Korea, and other countries outside Japan. The Dragon of Ji roll is a showstopper. As for cooked seafood, you'll be torn when it comes to the smokey salmon zaru soba with home-smoked salmon belly and citrus broth. Be kind and share the delicate dish with your travel companion? Or keep it all to yourself? An extensive sake, wine, andcocktail menu is available."

"Sage: Vegan Fun for Everyone If you didn't know before you dug into your meal, you might not realize that every item on Sage's menu is vegan (a nicebonus for parents eating with kids). The jackfruit or tempeh tacos are so good many devoted carnivoreschoose to get their Mexican food fix hereover local nonvegan Mexican joints. Sagealso makes excellentvegan burgers, potato flautas, and salads filled with great crunchy textures and pops of flavor. Follow lunch or dinner with a slice of coconut cake or vegan birthday cake ice cream."

The designof this sunny, open-sidedspace is eclectic, colorful, and comfortable, and you could describe the food with the same adjectives. Every item on the menuis sourced from local suppliers, from the fruits and vegetables to the meats and cheeses (yes, meat and cheese from Bali !).

The coffee is out of this world, especially witha little bit of thecreamy coconut milk made in the café."

"Day or night, the Lawn is a favorite Canggu hangout. With the grassyexpanse and mats to lounge on, a small pool facing the beach, a dining area, and a covered bar, this sunset spot has enough room for everyone. No need to jostle for space. Groups of friends and families enjoy long, lazy brunches, lunches, and dinners, the meals sometimes merginginto a fantastically relaxed day. If you're feeling adventurous, try the Balinese-style babi guling pizzetta, or ordera bit of everything fromthe grazing menu, which offers smaller dishes like crispy lemon squid and fresh rice paper rolls to share. The foodis a bit expensive for thosetraveling on a budget, but the variety of dishes and the fresh ingredients make it splurge-worthy."
