The Brunch Club
With locations in Canggu, Pererenan and Legian, The Brunch Club is a firm favourite of ours for their Melbourne-cafe vibes and tasty selection of breakfast and lunch time favourites. The hearty Grilled Portuguese Chook Burger served with bacon, avocado, rocket aioli and fries in a gluten-free bun will certainly fuel you up ready for a busy day of sightseeing and surfing.

All of their deliciously authentic pastas are available gluten-free, but we particularly love their signature Cellitti All Amatriciana in a slow cooked tomato sauce with smoked bacon, red wine and parmigiano reggiano. Why not treat yourself to a gluten-free cheese board whilst you’re at it?
