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.

Caffeine addicts who have been to Bali would know that excellent coffee can be found in many coffee shops there. So it is unsurprising that we have found yet another cafe that has been building its reputation on great coffee—The Koop Roaster & Cafe.

No effort has been spared in sourcing for their own green Arabica coffee beans from the local farms in Bali and the baristas make it a point to roast their own coffee beans too. Do not be shy to spend on their specialty coffee and baked items such as Carrot Cake and Banana Bread.

Give this homey cafe a chance the next time you are looking for a place to chill and have a hearty breakfast in Seminyak.

The Koop Roaster & Cafe is a place that will instantly remind you of home. With wooden furniture in both pale and dark wood and fluffy pillows to make your stay more comfortable, it is an ideal location for those who wish to do some work in peace.

There is also the second level where you can have your coffee and cakes as you watch the locals go about their daily lives.

Fancy a cup of latte from The Koop Roaster & Cafe? You can get one for RP35,000/ S$3.50 and it comes with a cookie for you to dip into your coffee. The cafe also has a tea time menu which includes your choice of coffee or tea and snack.

Delight yourself in other caffeine choices such as Cappuccino (RP35,000/ S$3.50), Flat White (RP35,000/ S$3.50) and Bali Cold Brew (RP35,000/ S$3).

Revolver Espresso is one of the coolest coffee joints in Seminyak, Bali. If you love coffee, and enjoy cafe-hopping, you have to drop by Revolver for a cuppa when you are exploring Jalan Laksmana.

Besides coffee, this boutique coffee house also serves salads (Rp 40,000/S$5), great sandwiches (Rp 35,000/S$4.50) and hearty breakfast food (Rp 45,000/S$5.80) on the menu.

One will be hard-pressed to find Revolver Espresso unless they are in the know, or stumble on it entirely by accident. The easiest way is to look out for Bali Clinic as they are tucked in a lane opposite the clinic. Alternatively, you can enter from the back of Home Store or This is a Love Song store.
