Bali is the idyllic vacation destination not just for honeymoon or partying, it is one of the best places in South-East Asia to travel with kids: affordable prices, tons of family-friendly restaurants, beach clubs, and daycare centres at a fraction of the cost to what you’d pay back home.
And, of course, all the adventures and kids activities you can do with your children to bring back loads of photos (and memories). Canggu is probably one of the best areas to stay with kids, too!
Check out these restaurants in Canggu that cater to families and know exactly what little ones will like to eat and do while parents are enjoying their breakfast or lunch.
Best Family-Friendly Restaurants in Canggu
To be fair, most restaurants in Bali and Canggu have amazing laid-back dining options from beachfront cafes to upscale restaurants, and families are welcome everywhere – Indonesians absolutely love kids!
However, there are just a few cherries on top – venues with full-on playgrounds, nicest kids’ menu, and all the equipment parents with toddlers may need, like high chairs.
Mai Main Playground Canggu – by Wonderspace
Mai is today the largest and most diverse stand-alone playground and centre in Canggu with dozens of kids activities and play areas.
Kids love this place because here they can do anything: from dancing at the foam party and hopping on a train ride to feeding animals while parents sit down to relax or swim in the pool while the little ones enjoy their time with other kiddies.
The restaurant at Mai Main serves all the kids favourites but healthy style: chicken nuggets, pizza, spaghetti, mac’n’cheese, and, of course, ice cream, to name a few.

Milk and Madu is a popular family-friendly restaurant and one of the best restaurants in Bali that combines fun and good food, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Western dishes.
They have two restaurants: one in Berawa and one in Batu Bolong. The one in Berawa is famous for its playground with a huge treehouse and lawn where kids can run and play.
As the place is famous, there can be a waiting time to be seated. But once in, quick service and yummy food will make up for that!

MILU by NOOK
A cute open-air cafe with rice fields views and a kids’ menu right next door to Milk and Madu. They are most known for their breakfast menu, healthy smoothies, poke bowls, a variety of Asian and Western dishes, and a kids’ menu.

Made’s Warung
This OG Indonesian restaurant is tucked away from the main street in Canggu and has a nice playground and traditional Balinese dance performances every Thursday.
There are actually even 2 playgrounds: one outdoorsy one with swings and a slide, and one indoors for a rainy day (which can happen in Bali!). The indoor playground is more like a daycare with tons of things to climb on, and it has a reasonable fee, plus your kids need to have socks on!
The main focus is authentic Indonesian food, but you can also find hearty wraps, pizza, and the kid-friendly menu is all Western.

Jiwa Community Garden & Cafe
Hiding from the busy Canggu, Jiwa Garden is a real eco-friendly and sustainable sanctuary here in Bali. They host workshops, participate in all important initiatives, and opened a restaurant and a kids’ play zone, too.
The playground is in the shade, which is very good with scorching Bali sun and offers the true experience in nature with sand and plants, swings and toys – expect to get a bit dirty! Older kids love the permaculture garden tour, where you can learn how to grow your own food.
Regarding food itself, the cafe serves farm-to-table vegetarian food, teas, and smoothies.
Note that opening hours are only from 8.30 AM to 4 PM, and they are closed on Sunday.

Brunch Club Berawa
If your kids love horses, you have to come to this brunch spot as it is right next to the stables – you can see the horses right from your table.
But that’s not it, Brunch Club is island-famous for the fluffiest pancakes with amazing toppings and sauces to choose from. The portions are, however, quite big, and they don’t have a kids’ menu, so you will have to share or finish your little ones’ plates 🙂
