I’ll be back for this! Santanera Canggu ✨
If you're looking for a restaurant that's more than just pretty interiors, Santanera deserves a spot on your Bali itinerary.
From the first bite, it was clear that every dish had been carefully thought through. The flavours were bold, creative, and unlike anything we'd had elsewhere in Bali. Nothing felt overly complicated—just quality ingredients paired together beautifully.
Some of our favourites:
🐟 Yellowfin Tuna & Salmon Roe Tartelet – fresh, delicate, and packed with flavour in one bite.
🐙 Char-Grilled Octopus – perfectly cooked with a delicious smoky char.
🍽️ Every other dish we ordered was equally impressive! each one had its own personality and was beautifully presented.
What I loved:
✔️ Creative dishes that actually deliver
✔️ Fresh, high-quality ingredients
✔️ Calm, intimate atmosphere
✔️ Warm and attentive service
It's the kind of place that's perfect for a quiet dinner catch up, celebration or simply treating yourself to an unforgettable meal.
