A birthday dinner in Canggu is won or lost on small things: the right night, a table that fits the group, and a restaurant that knows it is a birthday before you arrive. At Giselle Bali, the birthday moment is simple and warm. A special plate comes to the table with a candle, and the team sings, in a festive mood.

This guide covers how to plan it, from choosing the night to ordering for a group. Dish names and prices are exactly as printed on the September 2026 card.

Tell Giselle It Is a Birthday

The one thing to do is to tell the restaurant it is a birthday, and the earlier the better. Say it when you book, so the team knows before you arrive. You can reserve online, and the restaurant is open every day from 17:00 to midnight.

Choose the Night

Friday and Saturday have their own rhythm: dinner is served from 19:00, the room shifts from 21:30, and Club 55 begins at 22:00 and runs until midnight. A birthday on one of those nights can keep going well after dessert.

If your group would rather stay at the table and talk, choose another night, or ask for an earlier table on the weekend. Either way, tell the restaurant it is a birthday when you book.

Order the Table in Rounds

The card opens with the kitchen's own advice: "We recommend enjoying it in a sharing style, because every dish is meant to be savored together." For a birthday group, that makes ordering easy. Start with a few bites for the table, add a centrepiece, then pasta and the grill, and finish with dessert.

  • To open: Gougère Comté Cheese & Ibérico Ham (120), Beef Tartare, Pecorino (60), Truffle Croque Monsieur (240)
  • The centrepiece: Oysters | Prawns | Scallop Crudo | Salmon Gravlax | Tuna Carpaccio (1490)
  • Pasta and grill: Tortellini Truffle, Comté, Paris Ham, Mascarpone (350), Linguine, Crab, Lemon Kombu Butter (280), 24H Slow Braised Beef Cheek, Pomme Paillasson, Chives (290)
  • For a bigger occasion: Seabass in Salt Crust, Flambéed, Beurre Blanc Noilly Prat (890, 40 minutes) or Wagyu Beef Wellington MB5, Foie Gras, Mushrooms (1090, 30 minutes)

The two last dishes carry a printed preparation time on the card, so order them as soon as the group sits down. For the full method, with a worked example and what it costs, read our guide to a group dinner in Canggu.

Finish With Dessert and a Drink

The card has seven desserts, from Tiramisu (90) and Lemon Tart, Lemon Sorbet, Basilic (90) to Profiteroles, Chantilly, Grand Cru Chocolate Sauce (120), Fresh Strawberries, Chantilly (120) and a Cheese Selection (250). If the group wants a last drink, the dessert cocktails run from B52 (70) to Amaretto Sour (160).

The card states: "All prices are subject to 10% government tax & 7% service charge. Prices are in 000 rupiah". So a printed 120 means Rp 120,000 before tax and service.

A Bigger Celebration: the Upstairs

Giselle has no private room, but the upstairs area can be privatised. If you are planning a larger birthday, a milestone or a party, read the private events page and enquire by WhatsApp or email. Ask the team for the details, and do it early.

For a birthday for two, our guide to a date night in Canggu shows how to build the dinner. The restaurant is on Jl. Tanah Barak, see the location page, and the full card is on the menu page.
