Inside the Experience
Warung Nasi Babi Guling Men Agus
Warung Nasi Babi Guling Men Agus stands out as a beloved local treasure nestled on Jl. Raya Canggu No.163, Bali. This modest eatery offers an authentic taste of babi guling—Bali’s iconic spit-roasted pork—that charms both residents and discerning visitors. Unlike more tourist-centric spots, Men Agus delivers a straightforward, no-frills dining experience marked by genuine Balinese flavors and a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere.
Stepping into the warung, you’re greeted by the sight of a whole roasted pig displayed proudly at the counter—an inviting symbol of the culinary craft here. The menu embraces simplicity yet satisfaction, with options to enjoy babi guling mixed with rice or served separately. The pork boasts a crispy skin that crackles delightfully in each bite, paired with juicy, well-seasoned meat that balances smoky richness with a hint of spice from their house sambal.
The highlight for me was the soulful soup served alongside the meal. It carries a comforting depth, a warm counterpoint to the crispy textures and spicy notes on the plate. The sambal here is notably spicier than other local variants but is crafted to enhance rather than overpower the pork’s umami. While some cuts of meat can tend to dry, the overall harmony of flavors keeps the experience engaging and heartfelt.
Warung Nasi Babi Guling Men Agus also benefits from its tranquil setting, with natural breezes flowing through the simple dining area that opens towards the lush padi fields. This creates a refreshing ambiance, especially appreciated during Bali’s tropical warmth. Prices are modest and fair, making it an excellent choice for those seeking authentic Balinese babi guling without the premium attached to tourist-heavy venues.
In essence, Men Agus captures the spirit of Bali’s culinary heritage—authentic, satisfying, and rooted in local tradition. For anyone eager to explore babi guling beyond the usual spots, this warung promises a taste both honest and memorable.

Guestbook
“ One of the best babi guling place in Canggu. Not as touristy as the one across it, cheaper (35k for mixed rice), and definitely not as spicy. The taste matched my preference. Would recommend this to anyone. ”
“ A babi guling joint frequented largely by locals. Tried it as was on the way to Uluwatu. Restaurant set up was simple. Non air conditioned and back faces the padi field. Tables were sparesely laid out and felt quitr comfortable given the well ventilation by fans and natural breeze. The babi guling rice was different from Ibu Oka. Pork is similar in texture but the sauce was different. I prefer Ibu Oka against this. Made a side order of pork skin and it was hard as with Ibu Oka's version. Much prefer the goreng version which is crispy. Price wise is about 45% lower vs Ibu Oka (Rp30k vs Rp55k). ”
“ Came here for lunch on my mission to eat all babi guling here。menu was easy with either campur or pisah option which is together with rice or separate, portions don't seem to differ that much? Order came, I think highlight is the soup very tasteful and the pork skin is good but rest is tad boring the other meat supposingly be crispy aren't and the main meat too dry. Will give this a pass again. Also not the cheapest for what it is. ”
“ In my opinion, this is one of the best bigul in the Canggu - Tanah Lot area. It is more popular with locals than tourists, and the price is very reasonable, around 35-40K per person. The bigul is similar to Pak Malen's, but with fewer condiments, crispier pork skin, and a spicier sambal. The soup is served with ares. The restaurant is quite spacious and can accommodate more than 50 people. In my opinion, it was better a few years ago than it is now, in terms of portion size and price, but it is still one of the best in the area and tastier than Men L***. ”
“ Satay Rp5000 each pricey. Taste 6/10. Babi guling 6/10. Will pass. ”
