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!

Other choices you have in the day include Crab Sandwich (RP80,000/ S$8), Pide (RP100,000/ S$10) and Tiger Prawn (RP80,000/ S$8).

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).

Panama Kitchen & Pool (@SunOfPanama) is easily the nicest cafe in Canggu, Bali. It is every bit photogenic and it is frequented by both locals and tourists.

Like a scene set in Mykonos, the tropical atmosphere is one so charming. It is a beach club and cafe all in one, and the menu is nothing too exorbitant.

The next time you find yourselves in Bali, make a trip to Canggu and have a meal at Panama Kitchen & Pool. You will not regret it. Here is what to expect.

Be welcomed by the outdoor bar at the foot of Panama Kitchen & Pool. Grab a drink, have a sip of your cocktail then head into the gorgeous space. Get your cameras ready.

You will be transported to Mykonos right away. With a predominant blue and white decor, Panama Kitchen & Pool is a photo spot at every corner. 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.
