The Best Restaurants in Berawa, Canggu (2026)
By Mata Berawa Team · Berawa, Canggu
Berawa is the stretch of Canggu that locals quietly rate highest for food — a walkable run of Jalan Berawa where a Rp 22,500 plate of shredded chicken sits a hundred metres from an eleven-seat omakase counter, and neither feels out of place. That range is the neighbourhood. Here’s where to eat in Berawa right now, sorted by the mood you actually showed up in.

1. Mata Berawa — the everyday anchor
Honest Indonesian plates at honest prices, inside a compound that turns dinner into a night.
Mata’s warung runs on a mixed-rice logic: you build a plate from the Nusantara list, and almost none of it breaks Rp 40,000. Ayam Sisit (spiced shredded chicken) and Sate Lilit Ayam are Rp 22,500. Rendang Sapi and Daging Ungkep Balado are Rp 36,250. The Keripik Kulit Ayam — chicken skin crackers — is the thing regulars quietly add to every order. If you want to eat the way the founder does, that’s roughly it: rice, ayam sisit, crispy chicken skin, sambal.
There’s a Western menu too (burgers, pasta, a Rp 97,500 Nasi Goreng ala Mata), but the Nusantara side is the reason to come. It holds 4.8★ on Google, which on this street is not nothing. And because Mata is also home to Paisley — a speakeasy running live music — dinner doesn’t have to end at dinner.
