Shady Shack — Restaurant in Bali

This place is absolutely AMAZING!!! There's not much Vegan Restaurants around so to find one that's quite cheap (when compared to its serving size) is absolute wonders. I myself am not a Vegan but this place is definitely a Diamond in the Rough, I enjoyed every single moment!

The food here are Absolutely Delicious! I ordered (listed in order from top left to bottom right) The Shack Attack, VG Boss Burger, Burger Haloumi, Nori Bowl, and the Pillow Talk Special. All of which totally surpassed my expectations, especially because I generally meat over veggie. So to not only have no meat in my meal and having to Actually Enjoy it just amazes me.

I think there are some misconceptions about 'eggs' because eggs aren't escactly vegan, thus if someone do order something that has egg in it (wether its scrambled eggs, omelette, boiled egg, etc) do understand that they may not have it in stock at the moment or may take a while.

This brings me to the next point and that is the fact that some of the buns (or bread) they use might actually contain eggs as part of their ingredient, so do specify the type of bun (or bread) in order to avoid some misunderstandings or ask the staff/waiter about the variety they provide.

The customer service is very nice, thoughh it may differ during different hours (wether its rush hour or not).

The food do take some time to arrive (again depending on the hour) but its totally worth the wait.

Overall this place is a Must to Visit, I know it...

Shady Shack quickly became one of our favorite spots in Canggu. The setting feels calm and leafy, with a relaxed energy that makes it easy to linger over breakfast or a late lunch. It is the kind of place where the music sits in the background, the staff greet you with a smile, and you never feel rushed. The menu leans fresh and vibrant, and everything we tried tasted clean and satisfying without feeling plain. Service was friendly and efficient, and the portions were generous enough to share.

The smoothie bowls were excellent. Creamy bases with bright fruit, crunchy toppings, and a good balance of sweetness made them feel both indulgent and light. We also really enjoyed the Mediterranean platter, which was full of color and texture. The grilled vegetables were charred just right, the dips were smooth and well seasoned, and the bread was warm and soft, perfect for scooping. It is the sort of plate that works for a light meal or for sharing while you sit and chat. Prices felt fair for the quality and the atmosphere, and everything arrived fresh.

Overall, this is an easy five stars from us. Shady Shack delivers on what people come to Canggu for, a beautiful space, healthy food that still feels special, and a pace that lets you relax. We would happily return for more bowls, another round of that Mediterranean platter, and a slow afternoon...

I’ve run health restaurants before and know how hard it can be to produce consistent high-quality food with a quick turnaround - but these guys seem to have it nailed.

Good prices for well-designed, functional foods, and a dessert display fridge that excites me in ways I never thought a dessert fridge could.

Made this spot my regular for morning work over the past 2 weeks and have not been let down once, via dine-in or delivery.

Staff are always helpful when making recommendations and happily make accommodations for allergies and other food preferences.

The two things I’d recommend changing (hope the owner sees this) are:

Changing up the playlist to give a little more variation than naughties Pop (don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of Train’s Soul Sister but there’s only too many times I can hear this in an hour before my Cacao Dream starts to go funny in my tummy ♥️ Some mellow, atmospheric music would suit the restaurant’s design well for morning feels & wakings…

Using an oil other than Palm for frying. I’d opt for more options on the menu if this was the case. I need not explain the ‘why’. Switching to Coconut would be a much smarter option in a climate like Bali’s where they are abundant and not health concerning.

Thank you, thank you Shady Shack, for continuing to be a place of refuge and recharge amongst the busyness...
