Why it matters
Why Warung Bu Tika is worth your time
Warungs are the everyday food of Bali, and this one appears in Wikivoyage's Canggu eating list. It shows what locals and long-term residents eat, away from the cafe prices of Batu Bolong.
The pay-by-weight system lets families with different diets choose separately. Because it is a mixed kitchen, it carries no diet tag, and strict vegetarians and Jain travellers should ask about stock, shrimp paste and shared utensils. The price and mix of dishes are taken from an older entry, so verify them on arrival.

How to experience it
Take a plate, choose from the dishes on display and pay by weight. Wikivoyage lists jackfruit, tofu, tempeh and vegetables among the options, with plenty of meat as well, and prices of about 10,000 to 20,000 rupiah, which may be dated.
Vegetarians should build a plate from the vegetable, tempeh and tofu dishes and keep them apart from the meat. Ask staff what is in each curry, since Indonesian cooking often uses shrimp paste or stock. A Commons photo shows a plate with noodles, a vegetable pancake and jackfruit from this warung.
After a plate, you can walk to Nelayan or Batu Bolong beach. Take small change for the weighing.
