The Best BBQ in Canggu — Where Smoke Meets Soul
Nico's Smokehouse is the best BBQ restaurant in Canggu, serving authentic slow-smoked meats that have made us a top-rated destination for BBQ lovers in Bali. Located in the heart of Canggu, we're just minutes from Berawa, Batu Bolong, and Pererenan — making us the perfect spot for anyone searching for quality BBQ in Bali.
What sets us apart from every other BBQ restaurant in Canggu? We've combined three fire-cooking traditions under one roof: Texas-style smoked meats, authentic Jamaican cuisine, and Peri Peri flame-grilled chicken. Our brisket is smoked low and slow for up to 14 hours. Our jerk chicken is marinated in traditional Caribbean spices. Our peri peri is flame-grilled to perfection with six signature sauce options.

Three Cuisines, One Kitchen

The Signature BBQ Experience
Step into Nico's Smokehouse and the aroma hits you first — that unmistakable scent of wood smoke, caramelised meat, and Caribbean spices. This is BBQ the way it should be.
Our slow-smoked brisket spends up to 14 hours in the pit, developing a dark, peppery bark on the outside while staying impossibly tender inside. Our beef ribs — both short ribs and massive dino ribs — are rubbed with our Texan spice blend and smoked until the meat pulls clean from the bone.
The US Prime pork ribs are a house favourite, glazed with your choice of orange & soy or Nico's signature BBQ sauce. And for those craving Caribbean heat, our jerk chicken and peri peri chicken deliver fire and flavour in every bite.
