Strolling around Bali, you might spot a few Babi Guling restaurants, and we can confirm that all of them are legitimately good! So we decided to give you a list of our recommendations for some of the best, crispiest pork bellies and best roasted pork within the Canggu area.This is definitely not an excuse for the writers to go restaurant-hopping during working hours (hehe). Please note, we will be listing a few places that are not too mainstream, and worth checking out.

1. Babi Guling Jero Kawan Canggu

   Jero Kawan is a well-known roasted pork franchise in Bali, with branches across the island including Seminyak, Mengwi, and Canggu. Since we’re focusing on the Canggu area, let’s dive into the Jero Kawan Canggu experience.

   Conveniently located near the intersection of Jalan Raya Canggu and Jalan Pantai Batu Mejan, this small eatery is easy to spot — it’s on the right-hand side if you’re coming from the beach, or on the left if you’re heading from Jalan Raya Canggu.

   Jero Kawan Canggu has become a go-to spot for both travelers and locals, known for its crispy, freshly-served Babi Guling. On top of that, the service is impressively fast — perfect for those who are hungry and don’t want to wait too long to dig in!

   Location: Jl. Padang Linjong, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80351

2. Pork-U Umalas

   Yes, yes — we know. Umalas is technically not part of Canggu. But hey, it’s close enough, and when the pork is this good, we’re more than happy to stretch the boundaries a little. We just can’t skip this spot, especially when it comes to their pork belly and pork ribs — seriously, must-try material if you’re anywhere nearby.

   The place we’re talking about is Pork-U, and they boldly claim to serve the “Best Pork in Town”. Is it true? Well, we’ll let you be the judge of that. Either way, your taste buds are in for a treat.

   You’ll find Pork-U just off the main road of Jalan Raya Kerobokan, a few meters after you turn into Jalan Umalas. Keep an eye out on the right side of the road near the downward slope — the restaurant is tucked in right there, ready to serve up some seriously juicy, flavorful pork.

   Location: Jl. Umalas II No.10, Kerobokan Kelod, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361

3. Babi Guling Men Agus

   Back on the bustling Jalan Raya Canggu, you’ll find Babi Guling Men Agus on your right-hand side. It’s pretty hard to miss — thanks to their spacious parking area, you won’t have to stress about finding a spot, even if you’re coming by car.

   Their Babi Guling comes highly recommended, and for good reason. While you’re savoring each crispy bite, you’ll be treated to a calming view of the surrounding rice terraces — the perfect backdrop for a peaceful, satisfying meal.

   They also offer a variety of crackers to munch on while you dine, adding that extra crunch to your experience. It’s a family-friendly spot, ideal for anyone looking to enjoy an authentic Balinese meal in a relaxed, scenic setting.

4. Happy Pork Rendang

   “Who’s ready for this epic combo?” — that’s the bold claim they make, and honestly, they’re not wrong. Imagine the crispy, savory goodness of pork, perfectly paired with the rich, mouth-watering spices of rendang. It’s a fusion of flavors that’ll have your taste buds doing a happy dance.

   You’ll find this flavor bomb at a cozy spot on Jalan Raya Babakan Canggu, tucked among a few cafés and a mini market — making it the perfect afternoon foodie stop. Whether you’re exploring the area or just craving something unforgettable, this pork-rendang combo is seriously worth the detour.

Of course, this is just a small sample of the many amazing pork spots scattered all over Bali. That being said, we highly recommend venturing beyond just Canggu — explore the island from Gilimanuk to Karangasem, and you’ll find that each restaurant or warung brings its own unique twist and authenticity to the table.

So go ahead, let your tastebuds lead the way — Bali has so much more to offer than you might expect.
