THE BEST RESTAURANTS IN CANGGU
UNI
CUISINE: Modern Seafood
ADDRESS: Jl. Pantai Berawa No.99
OPENING HOURS: Tuesday – Saturday, 6pm – late
INSTAGRAM: @uni.bali
One of Bali’s most innovative eateries has just reopened its doors, with Uni Restaurant & Bar making a return to the Indonesian dining scene. Welcomed back by star chef and owner Steven Skelly, the 70-seater venue has accompanied its comeback with a brand new food and drink direction in tow, not to mention the urbanized art details by famed French artist and friend Yaz, the man behind the incredible mural.
While seafood will continue to dominate the menu, Chef Steven has welcomed a more casual approach at Uni, as well as championing local produce. Every week sees a brand new 5-course tasting menu for 230kk, as well as a new vegetarian menu weekly, both featuring Alleosse cheese supplements supported by a large selection of natural wines, part of the original DNA of Uni.

MOSTO
CUISINE: Natural Wine Bar
ADDRESS: Jl. Pantai Berawa No.99
OPENING HOURS: Daily, 5pm – late
INSTAGRAM: @mostobali
The new kid on the block, Mosto Bali is Indonesia’s first natural wine bar, located in Canggu. The pulpy, freshly pressed, unfermented grape juice that kickstarts the winemaking process is known as ‘mosto’ in Italian. It’s an apt name for the 70-seat casual cafe and bar, which wants to bring a laidback, unfiltered, and vaguely European style to the up-and-coming neighbourhood.
Mosto is a manifestation of what the drinking and dining experience should be in its purest form – from the pared-back design to the forward-thinking yet accessible menu and, of course, the cocktails and list of low-intervention wines – and is inspired by Sydney’s flourishing wine bar scene and the neo-bistros that have reinvigorated Paris.

Besides containing avocado, everything on the menu is also made using only the freshest local ingredients, beautifully presented and begging for you to snap an Insta post. Catering to vegans, vegos and gluten free, there’s something for everyone at The Avocado Factory.
