Folie Kitchen & Patisserie has been gaining popularity and it is not hard to understand why. The gorgeous space sits in Canggu, Bali and it is the new it spot for dining and OOTDs.

Well, these days, these factors come hand in hand for travellers who cafe-hop on holidays, and the Bali restauranteurs are definitely upping their game to stay in trend.

Folie Kitchen & Patisserie is helmed by a French chef who has relocated to Bali and brought along with him his passion and flair for French culinary. You can expect nothing short of a good meal.

The restaurant is split into two parts—indoor seating and alfresco. Upon stepping in, what you won’t miss is its iconic wall painting that is really a myriad of patterns splashed across in striking hues. This wall is no stranger on Instagram now and a quick search would lead you to thousands of OOTDs taken against this Folie wall.

The indoor seating area is a cosy one, with small tables for couples and long ones for bigger groups. At the back of the restaurant is the outdoor alfresco area, and the pastel blue booth seats are set against a pretty pastel pink wall, making it the perfect setting for photos too!

On the food menu, expect mainly French fare such as fresh Nicoise Salad, Croque Monsieur, Pan-seared Foie Gras, Beef Stroganoff and a whole range of hearty pasta. They may not be the cheapest but the quality of the cooking cannot be denied; it is, if any, one of the best restaurants in Canggu.

The dessert selection is extensive too. We were spoilt for choices; it was like we were transported to France. Expect an array of French classics such as lemon meringue tart, eclairs in a range of flavours, madeleine, croissants, banoffee etc.

Bali has no lack of cafes, and it seems that everyone is just trying to outdo one another with new concepts, OOTD spots, special menus etc.

If dining on the table is too basic, well, you can now dine in the pool at Cabina Bali. We kid you not; brunch is served on a tray that floats on the in-house pool and you dine from the pool. Sounds cool already?

Cabina Bali also has many OOTD spots to boast, so pack along your cutest bikini and prettiest dress for a trip to this tropical paradise in Canggu!

Cabina Bali is a tropical paradise with lots of palm trees, deck chairs, fairy lights, a bar and the coolest vibe. There is also a pool that sits in the middle of the space, and that is where the floating brunch happens.

The Floating Brunch Experience happens from 9am to 12pm, and it costs IDR180,000 per person and IDR350,000 for a pair. Reservations are highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

Every set comes with coffee/ tea, a glass of pressed juice served in a pineapple, a main and a dessert.  There are vegan and gluten-free options, too.

We have to say that the food wasn’t the most impressive. It was the novelty of the idea that attracted us (and the world). You do not even have to bring your own towels; Cabina Bali will provide you with fresh ones once you are done dining in the pool.

Its regular all-day menu is a comprehensive one that includes a huge selection of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches, tapas, and pasta.

Coffee is good here, and you’d be happy to know that Cabina Bali works with ST. ALi Melbourne to serve specialty coffee. The daily Happy Hour happens from 5pm to 8pm, where you enjoy 1-for-1 cocktails.

The Slow is a gorgeous boutique hotel in Canggu, Bali and nestled on the first level of the hotel is Eat & Drink, a contemporary cafe by day and restaurant by night. Expect to see an interesting combination of culture influences from Europe, South America and Asia when you are dining there.

Swing by in the day for savoury cafe fare or drop in at night to feast on wood-grilled meats and seafood while having a cocktail or two with your companions. 

Featuring a minimalistic interior with clean lines, long wooden communal tables, and potted plants, Eat & Drink at The Slow is a spacious dining area where you can spread open the morning papers and have a cuppa or do some work.

The venue provides a calm oasis of greenery, blonde wood and friendly service from the staff. We love the muted tones which make great backdrops for your OOTD pictures!

No one should skip on the Blue Ribbon Burger (RP130,000/ S$13) which came with melt-in-your-mouth Angus beef, rich cheddar, tomato relish, and pickles. This is one of the best burgers we had during our trip to Bali!

For the health conscious, there is also the option of Green Tea Noodles (RP75,000/ S$7.50). Apart from soba, you get a generous portion of seaweed, cucumbers, tuna, edamame and ponzu. And yes, healthy food can taste amazing too!

Milk & Madu is a popular local Berawa family cafe in Canggu, Bali visited by many visitors for their hearty breakfast, well-cooked lunch and signature revolver coffees. For those of you who are familiar with Bali’s cafe scene, Milk & Madu is owned by the same team behind Watercress Cafe in Seminyak.

We are glad to share that the cafe did not disappoint with the overall dining experience. On top of that, diners can also get nutritious grub from Nalu Bowls—Bali’s first smoothie bowl shack—which is famous for their colourful smoothie bowls.

Boasting long wooden communal tables both al fresco and indoors, guests are able to interact freely with other diners and travelers over good coffee and brunch. If not, you can also choose to sit at smaller tables though we find that a slight squeeze.

The Madu (RP80,000/ S$8) is your typical brunch fare with organic poached eggs, smashed avocado, crispy bacon, onion jam and creamy hollandaise sauce. Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over for a tangy taste.

Next up, we had the Marinated Chicken (RP80,000/ S$8). It is a tortilla wrap filled with avocado, sundried tomato, pesto, grated cheddar, baby rocket and radish. We love how the gooey cheese flow out when we pulled the wrap apart.

Here is the best part for all you health junkies out there. Nalu Bowls has a counter at Milk & Madu. You can order from both Nalu Bowls and Milk & Madu.

We chose Mavericks (RP85,000/ S$8.50) among the various choices they have on the menu. It is a Nalu Bowls Original recipe consisting of their secret acai blend with granola, banana, strawberries, coconut flakes and honey.

Avocado Cafe is the answer to all health junkies who are looking for a vegan cafe in Bali serving fresh, organic meals. It sits in Canggu, and though it may take a little travelling from the main areas of Seminyak and Kuta, we are telling you it is worth it.

Apart from avocado delights, diners can expect a wide range of vegan options on their menu including pasta, pancakes and sweet potato waffles. The food there is stripped down and delicious, focusing mainly on locally sourced produce.

So if you too are obsessed with everything avo-related just like us, drop by the Avocado Cafe during your next trip to Bali!

Sweet Potato Waffle is something you should not skip while at Avocado Cafe Bali and we recommend the one with soft avocado slices, rockets, tomato relish and a dollop of sour cream (RP57,000/ S$5.70). If you take a little browse through Instagram, you’d realise that this option with the avocado slices is the most commonly ordered one.

The waffle has a very light taste; you could almost taste the “organic-ness” in it. Boasting a mild sweetness, it is accompanied with fresh avo slices and a dollop of sour cream on top.

Acai bowls are often the top-of-mind dessert when it comes to health food. Of beautiful presentation and a slew of health benefits, they generally contain ingredients that help to enhance the functions of your nervous system.

Avocado Cafe’s Acai Green Bowl (RP85,000/ S$8.50) is essentially an acai and banana spinach mix topped off with dragonfruit, chia seed, homemade vanilla granola, toasted cashew nuts and mango. Very refreshing, very satisfying.

Those who are looking for something classic to fill their stomachs can go for the Avocado Eggs II (RP64,000/ S$6.40). Note that ‘II’ is the most lavish option as you get two poached eggs atop mashed avocado on toasted bread. This is all made better with a touch of roasted sesame and feta.

Have a go at other items on their menu such as the Pasta Pesto (RP70,000/ S$7), Banana Oats Pancakes (RP50,000/ S$5) and Paleo Breakfast (RP64,000/ S$6.40).

Heading to Bali for a break away from the hustle and bustle of city life? One place you have to include your Bali itinerary is The Lawn in Canggu, Bali

There is nothing not to love about the beach club—its outdoor pool deck overlooking scenic views of Batubolong Beach, comfortable lounge beds and a comprehensive menu consisting of light bites and mains.

Imagine sipping on coconuts and other signature cocktails at The Lawn while admiring the beautiful sunset… What a life!

During good weather, choose to have your drinks outdoors where you can suntan, dip into their infinity pool and watch the waves crash against the shore. Otherwise, head indoors for shelter and go all out on their grub.

The Margarita Pizzettas (RP80,000/ S$8) is a personal-sized pizza filled with confit cherry tomatoes on top of rich mozzarella cheese and basil paste.

Something to share among the group is their Shoestring Fries (RP40,000/ S$4) which is accompanied with flavourful garlic aioli for the extra oomph. We love munching on the crispy fries and wash it all down with cold beer.

Other food items on their menu include Steak Sandwich (RP90,000/ S$9), Babi Guling Style Pork Belly (RP120,000/ S$12) and Prawn Tacos (RP100,000/ S$10).

Swirl and twirl in your maxi dress, change into your bikini and plunge into the pool, or read a book on one of the many deck chairs. That is what the idyllic life at Panama Kitchen & Pool is all about.

There is a minimum spend (approximately RP70,000) per person but don’t worry too much about that because there is surely something on the menu for you. Drink options are aplenty and if you are not after anything alcoholic, go for the milkshakes or juices.

On the food menu, there is the Eggs Ben that is a classic favourite and comes with a beautiful, runny egg yolk for that mandatory #eggporn shot. Otherwise, there is also the Pulled Pork Sandwich that we loved.

Panama Kitchen & Pool redefines a cafe experience in Bali and it is one hangout we will definitely visit again and again.
