Cocomo Canggu: Charcoal-Grilled Seafood in the Heart of Batu Bolong

Batu Bolong has a seemingly endless supply of breakfast cafés, but genuinely serious seafood is thin on the ground. Cocomo fills that gap: an island bistro at Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No. 99, a few steps from Old Man's, cooking fish with charcoal, smoke and citrus — coastal ideas borrowed from the Caribbean to the Pacific and matched with tropical Balinese produce.

Why the Kitchen Feels Different

Instead of a generic seafood list, Cocomo works the meeting point between Bali's beachside grill culture and other tropical coastal cuisines. The space splits in two: an air-conditioned room for the hot middle of the day, and an open garden that comes into its own once the sun drops. Portions are built for sharing, so coming as a pair or a four works out best.

What to Order

• Mackerel ceviche — the most refreshing opener; citrus and chilli to wake up the palate before anything hot arrives.
• Grilled octopus — charcoal-cooked, tender inside with lightly charred edges.
• Tamarind snapper — snapper in a tamarind glaze; the grilled-fish dish that best sums up the Cocomo style.
• Lobster linguine in tomato bisque — one plate is enough for two if you've already ordered a starter.
• Coffee-aged Angus — the rescue dish for a travel companion who doesn't eat fish.

Best Time to Come & What It Costs

Cocomo opens daily from 11am to 11pm. Lunch until about 3pm is the quietest stretch; a queue starts building around 6.30pm as the beach crowd drifts in.

• Mains: from around Rp80,000++, with most of the menu sitting in the Rp80,000–175,000++ band.
• A full meal: budget roughly Rp300,000–500,000 per person for a starter, a main and a cocktail.
• Ideal window: 5.30–6.30pm for a garden table while there's still light, or lunch for the calmest atmosphere.
• Note: Batu Bolong traffic clogs up before sunset — walk if you're staying nearby.

Dinner in Batu Bolong is far more relaxed when you don't have to ride a scooter afterwards — book an AccessiaPass hotel voucher for a stay in Canggu or Seminyak and get home on foot or with one short ride.
