Ketela Eatery & Lifestyle is a poolside restaurant on Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong in Canggu, North Kuta, Badung Regency. Its pull is simple: classic Indonesian cooking, desserts and cocktails served beside an infinity pool that looks out over dense tropical greenery, a quiet escape from one of Canggu’s busiest roads.
The menu pairs Indonesian staples with Western comfort dishes, which makes it easy for mixed groups and for diners with dietary preferences to order together. Tables sit close to the water, and the setting leans toward spa-style calm rather than beach-club noise. That suits couples and anyone after a slow lunch. Diners back the experience: Ketela holds a 4.9 rating across 747 reviews and ranks #12 of 599 restaurants in Canggu on Tripadvisor. Reviewers consistently praise the friendly staff, generous portions and green views (Wheree).
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Late morning and mid-afternoon bring the calmest tables. Sunset hours fill up fastest, especially during the July–August peak and the December holidays, so message ahead for poolside seating. Batu Bolong traffic slows to a crawl in the evenings, so arrive by scooter or ride-hailing app rather than a car. Afterward, continue down the road to Batu Bolong Beach for surf-watching. Confirm current opening hours before visiting, since schedules can shift seasonally.
