By Redpoint Studio, makers of Bali Belly · Updated 4 November 2026 · Scores from October 2026
Short answer
14 of the 291 places in Canggu with 300+ reviews (5%) scored in our low-risk band. That is the lowest share of the 9 areas on this site, below the Bali figure of 23%. The highest scorers include Ettore Gelato Pererenan (88), Warung Nasi Babi Guling Men Agus (85) and BGS Bali Canggu - Coffee Bar & Surf Shop (85).
Canggu and Pererenan are Bali's surf, coworking and brunch scene, packed with cafes.
We scored 631 places in Canggu from their public reviews, and 291 have at least 300 reviews, enough to give a reliable score. 14 of those scored 80 or more, our low-risk band. The list is 1 warung or local-food place, 3 cafes, coffee shops and bakeries, 1 seafood restaurant and 9 other restaurants, such as Western, Asian and Indian kitchens.
Canggu has the lowest share of the 9 areas, at 5%. That is a reading of review text, not an inspection result. The 80 band is strict, and a place outside it is not necessarily risky. It does mean the low-risk list here is short, which makes it worth knowing.
How to read this. A Bali Belly score is out of 100 and higher is safer. Every place here scored 80 or more, the low-risk band, on at least 300 public reviews. The score reflects what reviewers say happened to them, not a health inspection, and any meal anywhere can make you sick. Scores last updated October 2026. How the score works.

Is the food in Canggu safe?
No part of Bali is risk-free, but you can lower the odds. Of the 291 Canggu places with enough reviews to score, 14 (5%) are in our low-risk band, below the Bali figure of 23%. Picking from that list, eating food cooked to order and served hot, and drinking bottled or filtered water all lower your risk.

Quick answers
What is the safest place to eat in Canggu?
By Bali Belly score, Ettore Gelato Pererenan (88), Warung Nasi Babi Guling Men Agus (85) and BGS Bali Canggu - Coffee Bar & Surf Shop (85) lead the Canggu list among places with plenty of reviews. A score reflects what reviewers report, not an inspection, so treat it as a way to narrow down where to eat, then choose on food.
Can you drink the tap water in Canggu?
Tap water across Bali, Canggu included, isn't treated to a drinking standard, so travel advice is to drink sealed bottled water or water from a filtered refill station, and to brush your teeth with it too. Our tap water guide covers the details.
If a Canggu restaurant isn't on this list, is it unsafe?
No. A place can be missing because it has fewer than 300 reviews, which is too few for a reliable score, or because it scored in the middle band (50 to 79). The list only shows places with strong evidence of being low risk. It says nothing bad about anywhere else.
