La Pan Nam Warung Canggu

This Canggu Restaurant is quite possibly serving the best burger in Bali!

Restaurant Name: La Pan Nam Warung
Address: Jl. TPA Batu Mejan No. 21, Pedang Linjong, Canggu

Note:  This is an independent restaurant review based on my personal experience.

The Restaurant:  Well marked and easy to find, La Pan Nam has plenty of scooter parking out front.  It offers a very casual, relaxed atmosphere with a really good feel to it.  An open kitchen allows you to watch your food being prepared, if you wish; ample seating both inside and out, and a really nice, simple menu make this an inviting choice.

But how is the food? What about the service?  We were given a warm greeting when we arrived and told to sit where ever we like.  There is seating both inside and outside.  A server came immediately with menus and asked if we wanted anything to drink. The menu has both Western and Indonesian dishes. Please note: I apologize for my crappy photos – they do the food no justice.

The Food
 Our order on our first visit was:
– Pina Colada 55,000 IDR / €3 / US$4 Creamy, coconut and pineapple delicious
– Water 6,000 IDR / €0.35 / US$0.45

– Nasi Goreng With Fried Chicken 25,000 IDR / €1.40 / US$1.80 Not a huge portion, but sufficient and tasty.
– Mie Goreng With Fried Chicken 25,000 IDR / €1.40 / US$1.80 Also not oversized, but enough to fill, especially with a creamy drink and very good.
Total Cost: 111,000 IDR / €6.60 / US$7 for two persons

Some other dishes we tried on other visits:
– Mie Goreng 18,000 IDR / €1 / US$1.30 Same as above but without the chicken piece
– Vanilla milkshake 20,000 IDR / €1.10 / US$1.50 Delightfully old fashioned
– Banana milkshake 20,000 IDR / €1.10 / US$1.50  Also amazing
– Mango Granita 20,000 IDR / €1.10 / US$1.50 A tangy treat
– Clubhouse with fries 35,000 IDR / €2 / US$2.60 Scrumptious

– Cheeseburger 45,000 IDR / €2.50 / US$3.30  Quite possibly the best cheese burger in Bali, can rival an American burger

– Vegetarian spring rolls 19,000 IDR / €1.10 / US$1.40 Crispy perfection

Do I recommend it?  Yes, great little relaxed place with super service, delicious food and fabulous food prices. Make sure you try the cheeseburger!

Happy Hour Drinking Canggu, Bali

Looking for the perfect Sunset Happy Hour Drinks combo in Canggu?

Admittedly, perfection for one can be hell for another.  We have done a small list of bars for Happy Hour as well as Sunset Combos.  Happy Days! Happy Nights!

I will start with our personal favorite.
Cabe Cafe
Happy Hour = 3 Bintang for 50,000 IDR / €3 / US$3.50 from 5 pm to 7 pm
Sitting directly on Echo Beach, the sunsets are perfect.  Watch the surfers, sip a cold one and be careful to not get splashed by the waves!
Address: Canggu, Kuta Utara, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia (Echo Beach)

Get There:

Second on our list is The Grass Terrace who boast an all day happy hour Mojito.  This is not on the beach and you can not see the sunset unless you stare deep into your third mojito, but the vibe is awesome and the service is great!  If you like mojitos, hit this place up at some point!  60,000 IDR / €3.50 / US$4.20 for 2 Mojitos
Address: Jl. Munduk Catu, Canggu, Badung 80361, Indonesia

Get There:

Our final spot is perfect for Hipsters, Rich, Wannabes and Instagrammers.  This is where you get that perfect Sunset Instagram photo that everybody wants to see and believe Bali is all about!

The Lawn, a breezy seaside restaurant bar with a club atmosphere and pricey menu.  This place is always packed with pretty people in the gorgeous lounge overlooking the beach. An infinity pool adds to the leisurely pleasures where you can watch the sunset while socializing.
Address:  Jl. Pura Dalem, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali, Indonesia

Get There:

Another favourite way to watch the sunset, in stark contrast to the above is the Self Made drink and watch.  Hit a supermarket, buy your drinks and get to the beach.  Find a good spot before someone else steals it and enjoy the views for a fraction of the cost!  Happy Days!

I started the list; if you have a favourite sunset, happy hour or drinking place to add, please leave it in the comments section below!

Breakers Tavern | One More Poolside Bar

Looking for Affordable Food with a Clean Kitchen in Canggu, Bali.

Restaurant Name: Breakers Tavern, also known as One More Poolside Bar
Address: Jl. Batu Bolong, Br. Pipitian, Canggu, Bali

Note:  This is an independent restaurant review based on my personal experience.

Finding affordable food in Canggu Bali is not always easy.  We decided to check out a random restaurant slightly off the beaten path, which we saw on our way to the Pepito Supermarket. There was not one single person sitting in the place when we arrived, but a quick glance at the menu indicated good prices.

A Smiley server greeted us and made some recommendations as we glanced through the menu. Cautiously, I asked if I could please see the kitchen – so many locals told us you must be very careful when eating in local establishments because they are often dirty. This kitchen was not stainless steel elegance, but it was clean and had proper washing facilities.

We grabbed a table and watched local kids splashing in a small waterpark below.  The casual atmosphere allows for one to interpret it as a bar, a cafe and a restaurant all rolled into one.  Fans cool the lower area, while poolside views and gentle breezes are on the upper level.

The Menu has All day Breakfast, snacks, Indonesian food, Western food, Seafood and Desserts.  We finally settled on:
– 1 beer 25,000
– 1 water 6,000
– Vegetarian Spring Rolls 30,000
– Honey Lime Chicken 40,000
– a side of white rice 5,000
– Mie Goreng Chicken 35,000

Total: 141,000 IDR / €7.95 / US$9.87


The meal was delicious, right down to the last bite, service was excellent and it was clean.
Would I recommend it? Definitely.  Delectable food and good prices.

Opening Hours: 12 pm (noon) to 12 am (midnight)

Recharge, Refresh – SenS Spa may take you to the Ananda of Relaxation!

Name:  SenS Spa
Address:  SenS Hotel, Jl. Sukma, Tebesaya, Ubud, Petulu, Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571

Note: This is an independent Spa review based on my personal experience.

Surrounded by rice terraces and amazing rainforest greenery, cultural Ubud is the perfect spot to find tranquility and relaxation.  SenS Spa, located in the SenS Hotel, invited us to try their SenS of Two, a Balinese Couple Massage with foot cleansing ritual.

Sri & Tini greeted us on arrival and offered a refreshing cold tea to sip away on while filling out a general health questionnaire. Upon completion,
