Dinner and club in Canggu: when the table becomes the party

In Canggu, dinner and club work two ways. On Tuesdays and Fridays, dine at Ina Ré and go on to the Desa Kitsuné garden party on the same grounds. On the other nights, pick a restaurant that turns into the party itself: Giselle's Club 55 on Friday and Saturday, PRÏVE at Riviera Berawa on Saturday, or the late evenings at MOI, BELLA, Jade and Miss Fish. Either way, you can stay in one area all night.

Two ways to do it in Canggu

Most of Bali's dinner-and-club plans mean a restaurant, then a car, then a club. Canggu, including Berawa, often skips the middle step: several of its restaurants have DJs and turn into a party after dinner, and the area's club, Desa Kitsuné, has its own restaurant on site. The question is less where to go next than which night you are going out.

Tuesday and Friday: Ina Ré, then the garden

Desa Kitsuné is the Savaya Group's lifestyle village with the French-Japanese brand Maison Kitsuné. Every Tuesday and Friday its garden becomes the party, rain or shine: guest DJs on Tuesdays, Bali-based DJs on Fridays. Parties are 21+ with a valid photo ID, smart casual.

Ina Ré, the village's restaurant, is the dinner: Chilean executive chef Cristian Encina brings together Mediterranean flavours and Latin American street food, with paellas to share, ceviches, tacos, empanadas and wood-fired meats, and private dining rooms for groups. Dinner and party share one address, but they are two bookings: a table at Ina Ré does not put you in the garden. For that, each guest registers on the night's guestlist page when a list is open, buys an official ticket on ticketed-only nights, or books a garden table. Desa Kitsuné's cutoff comes earlier for men; the times are on the night's page. The full evening is in Desa Kitsuné from dinner to party.

When the restaurant is the club

On the other nights, these Canggu and Berawa restaurants carry the evening on after dinner, according to their own descriptions:

• Giselle, on Jalan Tanah Barak: Riviera mood and seafood, with Club 55 taking over after dinner on Friday and Saturday nights.
• Riviera Berawa: a Mediterranean bistro and wine bar; on Saturdays the evening turns into PRÏVE, with cocktails and DJs.
• MOI, on Jalan Pantai Berawa: an Aegean-inspired dinner, and after sunset the evening turns into a party; themed nights include Monday Society and Bazaar MOI.
• BELLA, on Jalan Pantai Berawa: a wood-fired Mediterranean and Middle Eastern menu around an open kitchen and a DJ booth, with weekly Taverna nights and Kitchen Party.
• Jade by Todd English: a wood-fire grill, a daily DJ and weekly late-night events.
• Miss Fish, on Jalan Raya Semat: omakase and a lounge, and DJs later in the evening.

Giselle

Restaurants · Canggu

Giselle is a Mediterranean restaurant on Jalan Tanah Barak in Canggu, created by a group of friends with deep roots in hospitality, who call it “a house for friends, strangers, and stories”. The mood is the Riviera brought to Bali, across a dining room and a courtyard. Seafood leads the menu, with crudos, a seafood platter, sea bream sashimi and flambéed fish, alongside homemade pasta and plates for sharing, built on local, responsibly sourced ingredients. On Friday and Saturday nights, Club 55 takes over after dinner.

Riviera Berawa

Restaurants · Berawa

Riviera Bistro is a Mediterranean restaurant and wine bar on Jalan Pemelisan Agung in Berawa, the original venue of Riviera Group, which also runs Riviera Trattoria in Pererenan and Riviera Cafe in Cemagi. The kitchen works with fresh pasta and local ingredients, with dishes such as tagliatelle in a Wagyu beef and pork ragù or cacio e pepe risotto with tuna battuta. Expect an extensive wine list, aperitifs at the bar and candlelit tables; on Saturdays the evening turns into PRÏVE, with cocktails and DJs.

Moi

Restaurants · Berawa

MOI Canggu is a Mediterranean restaurant on Jalan Pantai Berawa, inspired by the Aegean and by Bodrum, home of its sister address MOI Bodrum. The kitchen works with fire and Mediterranean flavours, for dinners meant to be lingered over, and the cocktails draw on sun-warmed botanicals. After sunset the mood shifts and the evening turns into a party. Themed nights include Monday Society and Bazaar MOI, an Eastern Mediterranean dinner spectacle with dancers and costumes.

BELLA

Restaurants · Berawa

BELLA is a contemporary Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurant on Jalan Pantai Berawa, run by The SEN Group. Executive chef Oğuz Karadoğan, formerly of Lokanta 1741 in Istanbul, cooks a wood-fired menu made for sharing: lamb meatballs in rich tomato sauce with Hokkaido bread, a Mediterranean ceviche of seabass, kefir and gremolata, a whole roasted cauliflower with tahini. The room is built around an open kitchen, a long bar and a DJ booth, and the evening turns into a party, with weekly Taverna nights and Kitchen Party.

For a drink after dinner rather than a dance floor, The Shady Pig, a speakeasy on Jalan Pantai Berawa, hides behind an unmarked door; you need the password, and DJs take over later in the night. See Canggu cocktail bars.

Choosing your night

1. Tuesday or Friday if you want a club in a garden: Ina Ré and Desa Kitsuné.
2. Friday gives you the choice: Desa Kitsuné's garden or Giselle's Club 55.
3. Saturday for a dinner that becomes the night: Giselle's Club 55 or PRÏVE at Riviera Berawa.
4. Monday at MOI for Monday Society.
5. Any night, check the venue's page: programmes change, and we only list what the venues describe.

What to keep in mind

A restaurant that turns into a party is still a restaurant booking: ask whether your table stays yours for the late part of the evening. At Desa Kitsuné, the garden's terms are set per night, and a guestlist registration does not guarantee complimentary entry: management decides, and mixed groups and couples are strongly preferred. Its pool is decorative, so leave the swimwear at home. Smart casual works across all of these addresses.

How FirstBali helps

Tell the concierge the night, the group and the kind of evening you want. We ask the restaurant for the table and, if you want one, Desa Kitsuné for a garden table; each is yours only once the venue confirms it, and any deposit follows the venue's terms. For the list, each guest registers on the night's page, linked from /events.
