⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A masterpiece of Japanese fusion with ocean vibes
While staying at the enchanting Hotel Tugu next door, I discovered ji Restaurant – and it quickly became my favorite spot for dinner in Canggu.
Set in a breathtaking 1930s Javanese teakwood villa, originally part of a 1706 Chinese temple, the space is filled with Asian antiques, art, and soul. It’s elegant, unique, and full of history – one of the most atmospheric places in Bali.
The rooftop terrace offers stunning views over the Indian Ocean – perfect for sunset or watching the surf lineup during the day.
The food is Japanese fusion at its finest – fresh sushi, creative small plates, and bold, balanced flavors. Every dish is beautifully presented and deeply satisfying.
And the cocktails are outstanding – especially the Kublai, a bold and earthy mix of tequila, whiskey, tamarind, turmeric, and ginger honey. It’s a sophisticated tropical drink with a clear nod to Jamu, Bali’s traditional herbal elixir – rich, vibrant, and unforgettable.
The service is warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. You feel looked after without ever being rushed.
A must-visit in Canggu for anyone who appreciates great food, artistic ambiance, and a bit of Bali magic.
