A spacious, yet stylish restaurant in Canggu — perfect for group dining! Penny Lane Bali serves up various sharing plates, loaded fries, big burgers, and unique cocktails that’ll rock your palate. Want some healthier alternatives? Their smoothie bowls are bomb too!

The place is huge, with mostly communal tables inside. You’ll also find a lot of beautiful art pieces and Instagrammable spots around the restaurant. The health protocol here is pretty strict as well; the staffs wear masks all the time and you’ll have your body temperature checked and your hand washed upon entering so everyone will feel safe inside.

Everything we ordered was so good, especially the ‘Pablo Escobar’ — if you love fries, you should give it a try!
