Little Canggu

Little Canggu is a Bali-inspired beachfront café and kitchen in the Pentecostal Compound off MacArthur Highway, at the quieter north end of Urbiztondo, a few minutes' walk up the beach from the main surf break. The owners built it after years of trips to Canggu, and the tables sit outdoors facing the waves, with the kitchen by the entrance and parking inside the compound.

The Indonesian cooking comes with Ilocano touches. Beef rendang and bagnet guling, crispy Ilocos bagnet done the way Bali does roast pork, are the plates regulars come back for, with mie goreng, nasi goreng and chicken or tempeh satay as the other mainstays. Portions are big, though diners who know Bali find the seasoning sweeter than the originals. To drink, there's a latte with nitro foam from the in-house coffee bar, matcha served with a cat-shaped spoon, and a calamansi crush. You order and pay at the counter inside, and there are vegan options.

Google lists Little Canggu as open 8AM to 8PM, closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Most people spend ₱500 to ₱1,000 each; the Bali corn cup was ₱190 in 2026. Laptops are welcome. Come in the late afternoon, order the rendang to share and stay at an outside table for sunset over the water.
