Nestled in the heart of Bali, the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is a captivating Hindu temple complex surrounded by lush jungle. This enchanting destination is famous for its playful long-tailed macaques, who roam freely among ancient temples adorned with intricate carvings. Visitors can immerse themselves in both nature and spirituality as they explore this community-led sanctuary, which serves as a hub for scientific research and cultural preservation.
The Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud was one of the highlights of my trip to Bali. The moment you step inside, you feel like you’ve entered a magical jungle—huge banyan trees, moss-covered statues, and peaceful temple ruins all hidden within the forest. It’s not just a tourist attraction, it really feels like a sacred place.
Of course, the monkeys are the stars here. They’re playful, cheeky, and endlessly entertaining to watch. I loved seeing them jump from tree to tree, care for their babies, and interact naturally with each other. It felt like being a guest in their world rather than just looking at animals behind cages.
What impressed me most is how well the sanctuary is maintained. The paths are clean and easy to walk, the temples are stunning, and there are staff around to make sure both visitors and monkeys stay safe. I also appreciated the clear rules—they remind you to respect the animals and enjoy observing them without disturbing their natural behavior or even to feed them.
I’d recommend going in the morning when it’s cooler and less crowded. Bring your camera (you’ll want a hundred photos!), but keep your belongings secure because the monkeys are curious and love to “borrow” things.

This was my 4th time visiting the monkey forest and I loved it.
Despite what you hear about monkey aggression, you just have to follow the rules and signs.
I did make eye contact with a monkey by accident and it grabbed me which I found quite funny to be honest. It didn’t hurt me, and it was my mistake lol.
To add to that, I have never been attacked or seen anyone badly injured here.
Honestly, it was heartwarming to see the local Balinese bonding and feeding the monkeys, you can tell they are trained and know what they are doing.
I really enjoy the fact that these monkeys are able to free roam. It may be scary for humans, but it is great that they are not chained or caged. It is so nice to see the Balinese genuinely care for these gorgeous animals.
At the end of the day, you are in the monkeys home. Treat them with respect and they shall leave you be.
It’s a really beautiful and breezy area. The natural landscape of this place is breathtaking.
A nice casual walk in the park. There are a lot of monkeys but they are not aggressive. There are conservation staff around to park to ensure that the interactions between the guests and monkeys are safe and ethical. The monkeys are not particularly afraid of humans and may climb onto a person, although no feeding is allowed. Most part of the park is shaded and in forest area. Bring bug spray. There’s a nice and easy walking trail through the forest and lots of relics to look at.
Such a magical and unforgettable experience!
The Monkey Forest Sanctuary is absolutely beautiful, lush, peaceful, and filled with nature’s charm. The monkeys are playful and fun to watch (just keep your belongings safe!). I loved how well-maintained and organized the place is, with helpful staff and clear paths through the forest and temples. It’s the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and nature all in one spot. A must-visit when in Ubud!
This place is absolutely beautiful, magical, and full of wanderlust energy! Monkeys are everywhere swinging from trees, lounging on railings, and living their best lives. The forest itself feels like stepping into another world, surrounded by lush greenery and ancient temples covered in moss. It’s incredible to watch these monkeys up close (just hold onto your belongings!). I had such a fun and unforgettable experience here. The monkeys truly seem to be living great lives in their sacred jungle home.
Be careful >< I had some Keychain on my bag, Litteraly at the exit, one monkey took 2 of them.. I was able to grab one back. Anyways don't have anything outside the bag, water, Keychain ecc, no sunglasses and I would be careful also with earrings. We needed like an hour to see everything inside, it's nice and the monkey are mostly doing their things, eating, running ecc. I did not pay for have my photo taken, if I remember correctly was 50k for the service. Just be respectful, I took photo of the monkey but didn't get to near, just walk and leave them alone. When there's a lot of people can be stressful for them.
The Monkey Forest in Ubud is exactly what the name promises, lots of monkeys in a temple and forest setting. It is basically a big park where you wander among old stone carvings, tall trees, and troops of macaques that clearly think they own the place.
It is a nice spot for a walk, with shady paths and a bit of atmosphere from the temples scattered around. The monkeys themselves are the main attraction, playful, curious, sometimes cheeky enough to test your patience if you are carrying food or shiny things.
Overall it is a pleasant experience, part nature, part cultural site, part wildlife encounter. If you do not mind a few monkeys getting a little too close for comfort, it is worth a visit.
A magical place. Giving you that feeling of being Julia Roberts on a Eat Pray Love adventure.
Stepping inside feels like walking into a wild, moss-covered dream—the atmosphere is unforgettable. The paths are beautiful, winding over ravines and past stunning stone carvings

Visitor Centers
Ubud Palace, located on the famous Monkey Forest Road, is a must-visit destination in Bali. The palace features traditional Balinese architecture and hosts enchanting dance performances in its courtyard. Surrounded by lush greenery, it offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Bali. With its vibrant atmosphere and captivating performances, Ubud Palace provides an immersive experience for visitors looking to soak up Balinese culture.
Ubud palace gives good glimpse of Balinese culture. 30min is sufficient to visit the palace. It's worth stopping here. However, ubud water palace is a must see. It's little different than all the Balinese architecture we saw at different places. It's little colourful. 30-45 mins is sufficient to visit this place.
Kinjal P — Google review
If you’re already in Ubud, the palace is worth a quick stop, but honestly, there isn’t much to see inside. From a religious and cultural aspect it holds value for the Balinese people, but for tourists it can feel underwhelming—just a few closed doors and crowded pathways in the middle of Ubud’s busy center. You can walk through the grounds in about 3–5 minutes, and the admission during the day is free, which is a plus. The gardens are well maintained, the carvings are beautiful, and the atmosphere carries historic charm. It’s also right in the city center, so convenient if you’re already out shopping or exploring nearby attractions.
That said, the real highlight here is in the evening. The palace transforms into a venue for nightly traditional Balinese dance performances such as Legong and Barong. The show costs 100,000 IDR per person (cash only) and is absolutely worth it. The music of the gamelan orchestra, the elaborate costumes, and the graceful movements of the dancers create an enchanting cultural experience. Arrive early—people gather as early as 6:30 pm for good seats, with the performance starting at 7:30. Sitting closer to the front gives the best view, but if you prefer comfort, choose a chair instead of the carpet.
Be careful of monkeys in the area—they can be aggressive and snatch belongings if you’re not cautious. Also note, the daytime visit alone isn’t particularly memorable, but the evening performance is where Ubud Palace truly shines. Overall, it’s a well-maintained landmark with historical and cultural importance, but the dance show is the part that makes it worth recommending.
This was our first stop on our Bali trip. We visited the palace and purchased tickets for the Legong of Mahabharata Epic dance show.
The palace itself isn’t very big—the part open to visitors is quite small—but it does offer some beautiful photo opportunities and gives you those old Balinese vibes.
We came back later in the evening for the show. Outside, you’ll find old ladies selling beers, chips, rain covers, and more. Prices are quoted high, so a little negotiation helps.
The show was fantastic. They provide a pamphlet explaining the different dance performances, which is worth reading to better understand what’s happening on stage. The dancers, musicians, and overall performance were excellent. While the show runs for about 1–1.5 hours and might feel a bit long for some, I personally found it really engaging.
All in all, Ubud Palace is a must-stop when in Ubud!
We visited Ubud Palace, Bali in November 2024 and loved the experience. The traditional Balinese architectures are stunning, and there are great photo spots throughout. Outside, you’ll find small shops selling local crafts and souvenirs. We were lucky to catch a Balinese festival at that time - with music, offerings, and traditional dress, which made the visit even more special. A beautiful place to explore Balinese culture and heritage.
Can add it to your itinerary if you are visiting Ubud.
We paid about $6.00 to get in, and overall, this was a pretty cool first stop to experience some Balinese history and temple architecture. The palace grounds give you a quick glimpse into traditional Balinese culture, but it’s definitely more of a short visit — About 15 minutes is enough to see most of it.
The location is convenient, right across from the Ubud Marketplace and Starbucks, so it’s easy to pair the two experiences together and get some shopping done. The palace itself has beautiful details and feels like a calm pocket of history in the middle of Ubud’s busy center.
That said, there are a lot of people visiting, so if you want to take photos, be prepared to wait 15 minutes or more just for a clear shot. Outside, you’ll also find plenty of taxi drivers asking if you need a ride, which can be a little overwhelming. The biggest downside is that there aren’t any public restrooms on-site, since the palace is still someone’s private home — So plan ahead before visiting.
For the price, it’s still worth checking out, especially if you’re already exploring central Ubud, but it’s definitely more of a quick stop than an in-depth experience.
Pro Tips
- Go early in the morning to avoid heavy crowds and get better photo opportunities.
- Be prepared for lots of taxi drivers outside offering rides—politely decline if you’re not interested.
- No public restrooms are available since it’s still a private residence, so plan bathroom breaks before or after.
- Pair your visit with Ubud Market right across the street for a fuller experience.
Very vibrant modern surroundings with ancient energy inside. Place is very small but is full with Dharmic signs and energy. Many statues were covered so it was bit disappointing , it would have been great if all statues were shown to visitors. But full marks to people of Bali for only preserving their Hindu heritage but also living it. Bali has so many things to cover, so it’s not possible in 5 days cover to even cover 25% of places.
Ubud Palace, also known as Puri Saren Agung, is one of the most beautiful and historically rich landmarks in the heart of Ubud. My visit here was truly enchanting — the palace beautifully showcases traditional Balinese architecture with its intricate carvings, golden details, and serene courtyards filled with tropical plants. It’s a perfect place to feel the essence of Balinese culture and royalty.
The palace is not very large, but every corner tells a story of heritage and spirituality. The preserved buildings and stone sculptures reflect the traditional craftsmanship of Bali’s golden age. It’s located right in the center of Ubud, close to the art market, making it convenient to explore both in a single visit. I also enjoyed the evening traditional dance performance held in the palace courtyard — it was mesmerizing, with graceful dancers, colorful costumes, and live gamelan music creating an unforgettable experience.
Entry to the palace during the day is free, and it’s well maintained with friendly staff who are happy to share information about its history. Visiting at sunset adds a magical glow to the atmosphere. Overall, Ubud Palace is a must-visit cultural gem in Bali — a place that connects you deeply to the island’s artistic soul and royal heritage.
Ubud Palace (Puri Saren Agung) lies in the heart of Ubud, Bali’s cultural capital. It serves both as a historical landmark and a living symbol of Balinese royal heritage. The palace dates mainly from the early 19th century, when it was expanded under Tjokorda Putu Kandel, although parts of it are older. A devastating earthquake in 1917 led to major reconstruction, but its original layout and sacred geometry were preserved. The architecture features traditional Balinese elements such as intricately carved gateways, open courtyards, stone shrines, and ornamental gardens arranged according to mandala principles. The royal family of Ubud still occupies part of the complex, while the front sections are open to the public. Visitors can stroll through the courtyards, admire carvings and shrines, and experience an atmosphere steeped in both history and spirituality.
In the evenings, Ubud Palace transforms into an open-air stage for nightly traditional dance performances. Among these, the Tuesday show stands out: it typically presents the Ramayana Ballet or a Legong and Ramayana combination starting around 7:30 PM. The performance dramatizes episodes from the Hindu epic Ramayana through expressive movement, colorful costumes, and precise gestures accompanied by a live gamelan orchestra. Though the story may be difficult to follow without background knowledge, programs and leaflets usually summarize the scenes. The show lasts about an hour to ninety minutes and costs around IDR 100,000. Seats fill quickly, so arriving early or purchasing tickets in advance is recommended. The event’s setting—under the evening sky, surrounded by palace stonework and flickering lamps—creates a uniquely atmospheric experience that merges myth, art, and history.
In my opinion it definitely deserves a stop.

Pande was our server and we had an amazing breakfast. Food was delicious and so well presented. The energy of the space is lovely. Can’t wait to come back for dinner.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was excellent and the coffee was really good too. Prices are very reasonable, which made it even better. We enjoyed it so much, we came back 3 times during our 7-day stay in Ubud. Great variety on the menu. Highly recommended — and we’ll definitely be back again!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Beautiful Breakfast & Chill Vibe at Suka Espresso
Had an amazing brunch at Suka Espresso — easily one of the best cafés in Bali. The atmosphere is warm, bright, and relaxed, perfect for slow mornings or a casual meet-up with friends.
The food was fresh, colorful, and perfectly balanced. The chia pudding with dragon fruit, strawberries, and granola was refreshing and not overly sweet, while the poke bowl was packed with flavor and generous portions of tuna, avocado, edamame, and seaweed. You can tell everything is made with care and great ingredients.
Coffee was excellent as always — smooth, aromatic, and beautifully served. The staff were friendly and efficient, adding to the laid-back, welcoming energy.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious, healthy, and beautiful breakfast spot in Ubud. 5/5.
Was having the best morning here, having my proper breakfast after arriving in Ubud recently. It was the vibe that I enjoyed the most. Felt so nourished and charged being there for 2,5hr. The team there is a group of attentive people and they served genuinely from the heart. Especially Nana. She was such a sweet lady offering me a loyalty card right away. Happy to connect with her. I’d definitely come back and recommend this cafe🫶
Had a lovely breakfast at Suka. Coffee was on point and the croissant a pleasant surprise. Cherry on top of the pie was our waitress Fabri who was attentive and a fun.
10/10 would come again
Cheers mate
Had a delicious grilled chicken salad bowl and green protein smoothie - very tasty. Great spot, nice chill vibe, staff are welcoming and friendly (especially Sunny)! Will definitely come back!
We had a yummy breakfast here! There was no line to wait and we got seated immediately. We ordered the green smoothie, breakfast smoothie, two sides of scrambled eggs, the classic pancakes, and the berry pancakes. They were all so yummy! The eggs were perfect and the smoothies were refreshing. I think our favorite was the green smoothie. It was yummy!
Amazing food and wonderful staff!
I’ve been coming here for over 1.5 years and more than 10 times and I have never once been disappointed. It used to be called Suka Espresso, but now I think it’s called Bonnie in the evening where you can then come for dinner.
I’ve tried their salad bowls, the chicken katsu sandwich (forgive me if I got the name slightly wrong), breakfast dishes, and even desserts and everything has been consistently delicious.
What makes this place truly special, though, is the staff. They are warm, welcoming, and genuinely make the whole experience unforgettable. I want to sincerely thank the entire team, it’s a joy to eat here not just because the food is amazing, but because the people are amazing too.
Wishing you all the very best, and I can’t wait to come back!

Bebek Bengil Ubud

Balinese restaurant
Indonesian restaurant
Bebek Bengil, also known as the Dirty Duck Diner, is a renowned restaurant in Ubud, Bali. Nestled amidst picturesque rice paddies, this establishment has become an iconic culinary destination since its inception in 1990. The menu features a variety of Balinese specialties with a focus on duck dishes. One of their signature offerings is the crispy duck rubbed with a traditional blend of Balinese herbs and spices, which originated at Bebek Bengil in the 1990s.
Delicious duck, they have it down to the wire! Really great vibes overall - walk in the rice fields, music, charming elevated floor seatings (in addition to normal tables). And great chilli! A real institution clearly.

We came here today for dinner at 5pm because of their famous duck dish Timbungan. The menu did show it as a today special. However, when I ordered it, a staff said they did not have it without explaining why. They should remove this item from the menu if they did not have it. Being disappointed, I had to ordered the crispy duck one since the staff told me it was a must try dish. Here is our rating for the food.
1/ Crispy duck: 4/5
The duck was well marinated, neither too salty nor too bland. However the frying process made some parts of the meat burnt and really crunchy dry. The other meat part was ok, moist but not much meat to enjoyed since the duck was rather skinny. The red sauce was ok, not too spicy for me. The green bean and bean sprout salad was also ok. The steam rice was dry. Personally, I think this dish was just so so. Plus, the presentation was not really appealing to me.
2/ The Nasi Goreng vegetarian was good. My friend enjoyed it. He said the fried rice had a nice flavor.
3/ The Nasi Goreng with duck meat was also ok. They mixed small shreded duck meat with the fried rice. My friend who is a Balinese said this dish to him was a 4/5.
At the end of the meal, I ordered their also "must try" Black Russian pie. Once again, they did not have it. I think I have picked a wrong day to come here.
The restaurant has a gorgeous rice field view. The garden was also beautiful with statues lotus ponds and lush green plants around. It was a very well kept venue. I would give 5/5 for the atmosphere.
In addition, staff here were also very polite and attentive. I would give them also a 5/5.
Overall, it was just a so so dinner. If you really want to try their Bebek Bungil Timbungan, call them (WhatsApp) first before coming. Otherwise, you will be disappointed like me.
Delicious crispy duck and big portions. Beautiful setting with koi ponds, lily pads and so many trees. We got to sit on the floor and it was a fun authentic experience. The restaurant and gardens are huge! Very popular and can see why. Go here for something unique and authentic. It’s halal!
According to my 12 year old son “it was worth the 20 minute walk.” Lovely ambiance and great food. Good value for money. We’ll be coming back next time we’re in Ubud.
Bebek Bengil is one of my favorite spots in Ubud! Every visit is a treat, especially for the incredible smoked duck – tender, rich, and packed with flavor. It’s perfectly cooked and beautifully presented every time. I also really love the sambal matah – it’s not overly spicy, but wonderfully fragrant and flavorful, the perfect complement to the duck.
The setting is peaceful and uniquely Balinese, surrounded by lush greenery and rice fields. It’s the kind of place where you can truly relax and enjoy a slow, satisfying meal. The staff are always kind and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.
If you’re looking to try an iconic Balinese dish in a beautiful setting, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!
Everyone that want to taste local deck should try either the crispy deck or the sweet sauce one. Both are really good! And the ambience and view, unbeatable!
First meal back in Bali after two years, and unfortunately, it was a letdown. Despite the many glowing reviews, the experience didn’t live up to the hype.
Their signature crispy duck—supposed to be a highlight—arrived cold and dry, lacking the tenderness and flavor I was expecting. The chicken satay was equally underwhelming, tasting no better than something you’d find at a generic buffet.
Overall, the place felt like a tourist trap banking on its reputation rather than delivering genuine quality. Disappointing start to the trip, and we likely won’t be returning.
Visited this place on a raining day to remember the taste of Bali’s bebek . Service by the staff here was prompt and professional. The ladies worn beautiful purple uniform . The food was on the expensive side but I enjoyed my quiet time having lunch in their large garden . One area on improvement is that the staff could lift up the chairs instead of dragging them when cleaning the floor once the guests have left . My peaceful afternoon was interrupted by sounds of screeching wooden chairs dragged by staff .

Absolutely loved our lunch at Milk and Madhu! The service was top-notch – we’re super picky vegetarians (no egg, no fish oil) and Captain Puspa and Novi were amazing, guiding us through the menu without batting an eye. She suggested the Summer Slice Pizza and OH MY GOD – best pizza EVER. I seriously still can’t get over how good it was.
Big shoutout to the team for making a Milo Shake for us, even though it’s supposed to be just for kids. That was such a nice touch!
We had an awesome lunch and can’t wait to come back soon. Highly recommend this place!
I came here on a Sunday to try their special brunch, and it was such a great way to start the day! I had the cheeseburger with a beer — absolutely delicious and satisfying. Then I couldn’t resist trying the dessert: an apple crumble pie with ice cream. It was simply amazing! I left with such positive vibes and a big smile. The atmosphere here is wonderful- friendly people, great music, and an overall lovely energy. Definitely a place I’d love to come back to:)
We came here based on reviews and had breakfast and dinner. Everything was great. They had breakfast promotions, and it was incredibly crowded. A line formed after we sat down, but it wasn't as crowded that evening, so we enjoyed our meal comfortably. Since we don't eat pork, they offered to swap our menu items for other items, which was very nice. We enjoyed the lasagna for dinner. The ice cream is safe, and the food is delicious. We recommend it.
Nice atmosphere in the morning and in the evening because inside gets too hot at noon (due to big glass windows). You can enjoy great cocktails (you pay one get two during the happy hour). I ordered grilled fish and salad -the portion was a bit small- but it was really delicious. Prices are a bit above average. Service was very fast.
The food here is soo good!! The smash burger was so juicy and flavoursome, and the fries were nice and crispy! My boyfriend got the chicken Parma which was one a deal for 99k, and he thoroughly enjoyed it! The staff were super friendly and even let me do some colouring haha they also offer seltzers on the drink menu which was fun to try! I would definitely recommend to eat and drink at Milk & Madu!!
When you come to Ubud, don’t skip this amazing place! I have had the best chicken burger of my life follwed by an amazing apple crumble dessert. The people who work there are so so so kind and loving. I would come back even to see them again💛
I had such a great time at Milk & Madu Ubud for lunch!!
Juicy, flavorful burger with perfectly crispy fries, plus super friendly and attentive service. The relaxed, open-air vibe with lots of greenery makes it a perfect spot to hang out and enjoy a lazy lunch. Definitely coming back!❤️

We enjoyed taco casa! The portions are reasonable and you won't feel overly full after your meal. We liked the concept of creating your own tacos, quite a few ingredients to choose from. A nice place to stop by if you are in the area!

We ate here yesterday. The food is just amazing.
We ordered a wet burrito, soft tacos, nachos, quesadillas and it was just amazing.
Never felt so full.
Everything was great and highly recommend this place.
We had a very nice late lunch, served by a lovely staff. The food was tasty and plentiful. I have a veggie wet burrito, usually served with cheese but I asked to have it taken off, and my boyfriend had carne asada quesadillas. Both were great and we left full and satisfied.
Thank you Nofa and Yunita for a great service!
The best restaurant I've even eaten in Ubud!
I got the jalapeno poppers to start off with and they were amazing! I've been dreaming about them since.
I also got the wet chicken burrito which was amazing! I ate every last nite and I was STUFFED.
Would totally recommend going here!
Went there few times, and came back again after awhile. I had wet Burito and it was still so good.
The portion is huge with affordable price.
Good quality foods and fresh. Love it
The place is nice bright and clean, they also have more space on the second floor. If you come by a car you might want call them to ask if they have valet, as I saw their parking only enough for bikes.
Walking distance from Monkey Forest.
Will back again,
Good luck 🍀
Food - Good taste however not original Mexican. Their Tabasco Chipotle is really good. Other sauces tastes normal.
Taco bell sauces still comes on top.
Service- fast service
Atmosphere- hot 🔥...u can enjoy tacos without air-conditioned.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Ubud! I lived in Ubud for 2 years in 2019, and have been frequently visiting here. And this is still my all time favorite place to go. The staff is friendly, the food is incredibly fresh (always!), the vibe is so nice! I recommend soft veggie tacos, veggie quesadilla, and sizzling beef fajitas. The fajita might feel a bit dry, but add salsa, beans, tomatoes, avocados, and cream wrapped in tortillas, you will experience heaven… so juicy👌And you must try theirs virgin Pina Colada…so good 💖🍹
Super good taco, big portion and fresh fillings. Miss it once tried. I like the flexibility of ordering that they allow, i can order just 1 or 2, no forcing to order as per menu portion

Vegetarian restaurant
9 Angels is not just a typical warung; it's a community project and space that offers more than just a meal. Founded in 2013 by Thony and his friends, this unique spot provides an opportunity for people to enjoy vegetarian cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients in a buffet-style setting. Guests pay using an honor system, leaving donations on the table.
Lovely self-service Vegan place, behind Monsieur Spoon. There's a wide range of tofu, tempeh and vegetable dishes - all tasted delicious. You can get a drinking coconut and ginger tea. You pay by leaving money in the hanging bottles and wash your dish at the end.
The owner, Tony, is very welcoming and interesting to chat to - he's a very wise man with a kind heart. We will be back 🩷

Good plant-based clean soulful food in a relaxed, hippy-vibe garden setting. The buffet food can be lukewarm or cooled down, but it’s still rich in taste and flavour. Their fresh juices def are a must-try! When I arrived mid-afternoon, there were no other customers, which made it hard to get a sense of the vibe among the staff — though later, they turned out to be helpful and friendly. I love the concept of trust: you eat what you like and leave your contribution in designated “money bottles”.
Love this place, very homey and lovely. The food is delicious homemade cooking with many vegetarian/vegan options from tempeh/tofu, red beans, rich variety of vegetables. Sometimes you will find unique balinese vegetables like papaya leaf with torch ginger flower. A must try while being in Bali. I mean, you can get pizza easy everywhere, but authentic homemade balinese food? Not everywhere.
I recommend to give tips here because the price is very cheap, so much love and effort put in here to spread love to others. I believe you can see the value. Much kindness ✨
A hidden gem! Tony was so friendly who you can tell cares about the quality of his food and puts so much effort in. The decoration is like a whimsical jungle and was so affordable and tasty! Wish I had known about it earlier! Thank you!
Such a cozy, sweet, delicious experience! Great food for great value! Deffo eating here from now on. If u haven't, you MUST give it a go.
Family run, local 😍
Great spot to get a well rounded tasty homemade vegan meal! Tony, the owner, is great and we had some great conversations on spirituality and life throughout dinner. I loved the garden as well :)
Best vegan banana cake 🍌 you will ever have 💯
Must try ! Highly recommend !
The vegan food buffet is amazing . Taste is true to home cooking ❤️
This place is something different in the middle of Ubud and you’ll notice the moment you step in.
If you’re lucky enough you’ll get to meet Tony, a very special character that makes very good ginger tea with other spices . He’s says that drink is gonna make you immortal!

Steak house
Nestled in the serene surroundings of Ubud, Batubara Wood Fire is an upscale steakhouse that offers a unique wood-fired dining experience with a touch of Mediterranean and Argentinean influence. The restaurant prides itself on using locally-sourced coffee wood to grill high-quality meats, seafood, and vegetables, resulting in a distinct smoky flavor.
This place does not disappoint. They were able to accommodate a 4 top in just minutes without a reservation. I’ve been here 2x now and the meat is consistently high quality and cooked well. The beef was grass fed, the fish was wild caught. The bartender was so helpful, letting me taste between 2 different wines to get the right one for my meal. The server was great as well, informing me of what was gluten free. They offered a large chalk board menu of the cuts of meat they had to offer and a cut board showing the selections of the evening.

THE BEST.
The service here was the best service I’ve ever had. The guy who served our table was a true gentleman, this man deserves a pay rise explaining all the different types of meat, and letting us try the wine before we got the bottle. The food itself was to die for. Steak cooked to absolute perfection, veggies incredible and chips so crunchy and tasty. The wine was perfectly chilled and tasted delicious. Honestly if you’re in UBUD and want to go to a fancy restaurant with fantastic service and tasty food this is your place.
I had dinner at Batubara Wood Fire and was pleasantly surprised! At first glance, the place looks like a regular Balinese restaurant, nothing too flashy, but once inside it really gives off a great vibe. The staff were incredibly friendly and approachable, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
The food was outstanding — full of flavor and beautifully cooked. They specialize in steaks, and I loved that they actually bring the cuts to your table so you can choose exactly what you want before it’s prepared. Such a nice touch!
While it’s not the cheapest option in town, the quality of the food and service makes it absolutely worth it. I left completely satisfied and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Bali.
The food was generally good. The steak and wild salmon were excellent cuts of protein. The deep fried eggplant with feta was delicious. The calamari was so so and the grilled vegetables were heavy in oil. The creme brûlée wasn’t good at all.
The service wasn’t great because they forgot to punch in our order. We were the second table of the night but recieved our food after the 8th table. However, they did give us the dessert for free.
As for the atmosphere. A bit dingy for my liking given the price range.
We found this restaurant to be overrated.
We arrived at 5:30pm and were only the second table seated. The staff introduced the specials and steaks, and we placed our order shortly after. However, we ended up waiting a long time for our starter — and even longer for our main course. To our frustration, guests who arrived after us were served before us. We flagged the issue to the staff, but no immediate action was taken.
When our main courses finally arrived, one of the staff explained that our order wasn’t printed due to a “printer issue” — a frustrating excuse considering we were among the first customers and there were staff standing around chatting.
To be fair, the steak and salmon were cooked beautifully. But the side dishes were underwhelming, and the dessert was just average. Prices were also on the higher side.
While they did offer a complimentary dessert as part of service recovery, it didn’t quite make up for the unpleasant experience. Unfortunately, we left disappointed and wouldn’t rush to return.
One of the best steaks I've had! The service was also impeccable 😊 The staff were attentive and constantly checked in on us. Truly a gem!
Appetizers:
1. Pulpo A La Brasa;
Grilled Octopus with mashed potato & Spanish paprika powder (9/10) - Tender and had a slight char to it. The mashed potato had some truffle in it which elevated the dish so much. Texture of the mash was more on the fluid side which also went well with the dish
2. Seafood Canelon with Parmesan Cheese (7/10) - think lasagna sheet wrapped with seafood and cheesy sauce. It was good but nothing impressive.
Mains (amazing/10):
We Got The Tenderloin Wagyu MB6 (medium rare) and Picanha Wagyu MB7 (medium). Both cuts were wonderful! Personally prefer the Picanha as it was less lean than the Tenderloin and easier to eat.
Sides:
1. Papas Fritas; Handcut French fries with skin on (7/10) - Nothing impressive, exactly what you expect
2. Setas A Plancha; Grilled mushroom with parsley & garlic (6/10) - found this dish to be heavy and a tad too oily, which made the meal quite an overkill.
3. Pimiento Rojos Asados; Roasted (sweet) red peppers (7/10) - exactly what you would expect it to taste.
As a whole, steaks were amazing, truffle mash was good and octopus was tender and worth a try (these are probably the few dishes that makes me want to revisit this restaurant!)
Make a reservation ahead, and if they have space open sooner they will let you know!
The group tried two different cuts of steak and it was prepared great and table side. The other dishes we ordered were also delicious. The staff was excellent as well.
Everything from start to end was splendid. Puspita attended to us. She was very pleasant, sweet,attentive and I enjoyed the vibes here. loved their Gambas the olive oil was infused with prawn essence we wiped it clean! We had black Angus and Picanha steak and it was delectable

South side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the south side side of town. Start the day off with Tegenungan Waterfall, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Ubud Art Market. All together, your day would be filled with about 8 hours of non-stop fun.

Waterfalls
Tegenungan Waterfall is a stunning natural wonder nestled in the heart of Bali, just a short drive from Ubud. This picturesque waterfall cascades through lush jungle surroundings, creating an idyllic setting for visitors. While it’s one of the most popular waterfalls on the island and can get quite crowded, especially during peak hours, visiting early in the morning offers a more tranquil experience before the crowds arrive. The area features shallow bathing spots perfect for cooling off and several nearby cafes that enhance its vibrant atmosphere.
This is a must-see if you're in the area! The trail to the falls is a moderate 1.5-mile hike with some beautiful scenery along the way. The waterfall itself is stunning, with a powerful flow, especially after a recent rain. The spray feels amazing on a hot day. Make sure you wear good hiking boots and get there early, as the parking lot fills up quickly on weekends.
The way towards is waterfall makes you more and more eager to reach there. Sound of the water can be heard from far away. Restaurants and cafes available nearby.
Too many scenic and photo oriented spots here. We loved the place.
At the entry point, some sort of tatoos are stamped on our hands.
A beautiful nature spot indeed.
Chinmay K — Google review
Fall is good but quite far away from the viewpoint. No proper way except hiking to reach near the fall and enjoy at the fullest. You need to be fit to roam around. Facilities need to be elevated in the area for a better experience
I have been there before social media era and after social media era, I have seen the changes, plus and minus but this place still good places to visit if you stay around Ubud and wanted to see waterfall near by so this waterfall could be wise choice, please try to swim under temple fountain waters it's so good there
One of the most easily accessible waterfalls in Bali. Although there is a flight of stairs to reach the fall, the steps are not that steep and has enough space to take rest for a while climbing up or down.
There is a lively club called Omma and it is very beautiful. The fall is very popular among tourists specially with family and kids. People can easily take a dip in the waist deep water.
A very photogenic spot and one should spend some time there. Sit back and relax for a while.
Nice scenic view of the waterfall and the nearby Glass Bridge. There's a hotel overlooking the waterfall and some shallow water for swimming. Getting down to the river is a steep descend and after that you need to climb back to the top. The height of each step is a stretch and not suitable for the elderly, children and people with mobility issues.
I visited Tegenungan Waterfall during my time in Bali, and it was a beautiful and refreshing experience. The waterfall itself is stunning — powerful, scenic, and surrounded by lush greenery that makes for an incredible backdrop. Whether you’re standing at the bottom taking in the full force of the falls or viewing it from higher up along the pathways, it’s a sight that really captures the natural beauty Bali is known for.
There are multiple viewing points and photo opportunities, so you can take your time exploring and snapping pictures along the way. The walk down to the waterfall does require navigating stairs and some uneven areas, so be prepared for a bit of a workout — especially when you’re making your way back up. But the views and the sound of the rushing water are worth the effort.
The surrounding area has also been built up with cafes, swings, and little spots to sit and take in the scenery, so you can make it a nice relaxed visit if you want to stay a while. It can get crowded, especially during peak times, but even with other visitors around, the atmosphere still feels peaceful and enjoyable.
Overall, Tegenungan Waterfall is a beautiful stop for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone wanting a little adventure paired with gorgeous scenery. If you’re exploring the Ubud area, it’s definitely worth adding to your itinerary.
Nice waterfall and restaurants with a view on the waterfall. I was here in off season and crowds were acceptable. During high season I expect too much tourist. You can dip yourself in the water but beginning is a bit rocky to walk into.
Tegenungan Waterfalls is located near to Ubud. Beautiful Waterfalls surrounded by greenery. Fun photo spots like swing, bird nests etc are there. If you love waterfalls, you can visit.

Caverns & Caves
Goa Gajah, also known as Elephant Cave Temple, is a significant archaeological site and a popular tourist spot in Bedulu Village near Ubud. Despite its name, there are no actual elephants here, but visitors can admire the stone figure of Ganesh, a Hindu deity with an elephant's head. The cave dates back to the 9th century and features stone carvings of Hindu gods.
Beautiful time spend in Goa Gojah.
The ticket is not expensive and the experience is amazing! Once you enter, you can see holy water and place where locals come to pray and take holy water to blessed their land. You can also enter the cave where prayers are held, which is true experience! Once you visit these two places, which are near the entrence to the temple, you can keep exploring the place and see beautiful nature, trees, Buda temple, little souvenir shops etc.
We payed extra for local tour guide and the information we got is so amazing and interesting! Would totally recommend coming to this temple and paying a local guide to guide you and take cute pictures of you 🥰❤️
Mila D — Google review
Used to be a UNESCO SITE, this temple is well preserved and should continue to be. Entrance fee includes temporary sarong rent which makes sense for tourists and doesn't feel rip off. There are guides at sites but they are not pushy for business. Used as a sanctuary for both Hinduism and Buddhism, you could see two religions in one. There's also a Buddha temple right at the end but it seems neglected. Overall, worth a visit especially if you are interested in cultural understanding.
Highlights & Attractions
The Cave Entrance: The most famous and photographed part is the massive, menacing face carved into the rock, with its gaping mouth serving as the entrance. It is often described as a spectacular and bizarre sight.
The Cave Interior: The cave is relatively small and T-shaped. Inside, visitors find a statue of the Hindu god Ganesha and representations of Shiva (lingam and yoni). It was historically a site for meditation.
The Grounds and Surrounding Nature: True beauty and attraction lies outside the cave. The complex includes:
Sacred Bathing Pools (Tirta Empul): Featuring seven statues of female figures (Hindu angels/nymphs) that act as waterspouts.
Lush Valley and Rice Paddies: A walk down a path leads to a beautiful, serene valley with tropical gardens, lush greenery, and a small waterfall, offering great photo opportunities.
Buddhist Section: Ruins of a Buddhist temple and relics are located at the southern end of the complex, showcasing the co-existence of Hindu and Buddhist elements.
Historical Significance: Visitors appreciate that the site is an important archaeological landmark, believed to date back to the 9th century and listed as a tentative UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.
Best Time to Visit: Early in the morning is highly recommended to avoid the crowds, the heat, and to enjoy a more peaceful, serene experience.
Time Needed: The cave itself takes only a few minutes to explore, but most recommend setting aside less than an hour to explore the entire complex, including the valley, rice fields, and bathing pools.
Dress Code:As it is an active worship site, a sarong and sash are mandatory to cover knees and shoulders for both men and women. These are typically available for rent or included with the entrance fee.
What to Bring:Wear comfortable shoes as there are many stone steps and paths, and bring water.
This is temple in bali where Pooja is still carried out in a temple. Nice temple of Lord Ganesha and Shiva . It also has an idol of lord Buddha. The place has a nice spring and whole temple seems to be in the midst of a forest. Temple can be better maintained as there are entrance fees for the same .
A very spiritual temple in Bali. Worth visiting while in Ubud. We went there during a local ceremony and saw the place decked up in traditional decorations. People were offering puja in ceremonial attire.
The compound is huge with its own water fall and garden. The inside of the temple is sacred and the atmosphere feels divine.
There are quite a few steps to be climbed up and down. Take your time and explore the surroundings.
It's not big cave. Inside cave there are statues of God. If in hurry one can skip this place. Architecture of entrance is different. However, road to buddha temple from their is beautiful. Nature lover will find it worth visiting.
Goa Gajah temple is one of the visiting places in Bali. The temple has entrance fee of 50000 rupai per person and temple closes by 6 pm. There is a big center with shopping stalls around.
I strongly recommend to visit Goa Gajah. If you dont have enough time, just see from the top of the temple before the entry.
Cool locking cave. Some nice small temple structures. Wasn't very crowded when we got there but a lot of people want to sell you stuff or be your guide. You feel the place is made for a lot of tourists. The waterfall isn't that impressive and also very dirty.

Asian restaurant
Hujan Locale is a modern Indonesian restaurant in Ubud, Bali, created by the renowned chef Will Meyrick. The restaurant offers a stylish and relaxed atmosphere where guests can enjoy a wide range of Southeast Asian street food-style dishes with an upscale twist. The menu features Meyrick's signature flavors, including curries, soups, and noodles. The double-storey restaurant boasts finely appointed interiors and airy dining spaces in the heart of Ubud.
Dining at Hujan Locale was a truly wonderful experience! I ordered their steamed fish wrapped in banana leaves and bamboo, served with yellow rice and vegetables — and it was absolutely divine! Every element on the plate was full of flavor, beautifully balanced, and clearly crafted with care. The presentation was as impressive as the taste — a real treat for both the eyes and the palate 😋
The service was top-notch from start to finish. The staff were very attentive and helpful — they assisted me with choosing a dish and checked in throughout the meal to make sure everything was perfect. Their kindness and professionalism really stood out.
If you’re in Ubud and looking for a special dinner experience with excellent food and thoughtful service, I highly recommend Hujan Locale. I’ll definitely be coming back!

What a great restaurant tucked away from the craziness of the high street in Ubud!
High quality food and drinks, served with great attentiveness and friendliness of the staff. We sat at the bar which was great and the bartenders really looked after us 🍸
Don’t skip the lobster dumplings. Probably one of the best I ever had, really appreciated the generous ratio of lobster 🦞 The beef rendang was 🤌🏼 and I really enjoyed my grilled baby chicken. An explosion of flavour in all dishes, without being too spicy.
We had an outstanding experience at Hujan Locale. The local cuisine was exquisite, with fresh ingredients and every dish bursting with flavour, elevated by a touch of sophistication. It’s certainly not the cheapest restaurant in Ubud, but absolutely worth it.
The staff were wonderfully welcoming and warm. The setting is charming, a typical local-style restaurant, yet with exceptional attention to detail and a beautifully maintained atmosphere. We tried the crispy chicken and pork batagor dumpling, the slow-cooked beef rendang, and the Acehnese chicken korma, all of which were utterly delicious. We wouldn’t hesitate to return!
I really wanted to like Hujan Locale, but honestly, it just didn’t live up to the hype. Or the price tag.
For 330k, I was expecting something exceptional, something that justifies the upscale branding. Instead, what I got felt no different from what you’d find in a good local warung—except here, you’re paying triple for the same experience. The beef rendang, which should’ve been the highlight, was average at best. Flavor was fine, but not memorable. I’ve had rendang from tiny family-run spots that easily outshine this one in both taste and soul. Even the presentation lacked finesse.
The ambiance was pleasant enough, but the service crossed into overbearing. The staff seemed to lose their minds over the fact that I had a bottle of energy drink with me—even though I wasn’t drinking it. The way they reacted was unnecessary and frankly insulting. For a restaurant that tries to present itself as refined, that kind of attitude felt petty and off-putting.
Overall, Hujan Locale feels like a place coasting on reputation and aesthetics rather than substance. The food is decent, but if you actually care about flavor and value, you’ll find better—and more authentic—meals in the warungs down the street.
Hujan Locale is amazing.
The venue is gorgeous and stepping in feels like you’re stepping into another era.
The staff are professional and nice - delivering service with a smile.
The food is fantastic - each meal providing a different range of flavours and textures. Each dish tastier than the next.
Overall we have a GREAT experience and will return.
It was on the pricier end of the spectrum but worth every cent - a nice treat!
We were recommended this place and it certainly did not disappoint! We came without a booking but were able to sit downstairs in the bar area and order all the food. The cocktails were great and the food was amazing. Some really interesting and unique flavours all round with too many dishes to recommend! Wish we had come another night to try some more.
We really enjoyed our time at Hujan. We chose the menu proposed and were absolutely not disappointed! Food was very tasty, some of classic Indonesian food but twisted in a very original way. Would definitely recommend it !
In our 2 stay last year and this year, this was the best restaurant we've found in Ubud and Bali in general.
Welcoming staff. 🙏
Can be a bit pricey but not overpriced like other places where the food isn't good by the way. Here you'll have great food (at least if you try our recommandations).. 👍
Special mention for the beef rendang, the scallop (starter) and the dessert mango 🥭- coco 🥥 in granite style.
Disappointed by the tuna (starter) though, which was lacking a bit of taste and some 'peps' . wish the tuna had come with a sauce similar to the one that came with the scallop...
Also, people complaining in the comments are just people without any taste who enjoy Coca, Fries 🍟, and Burgers 🍔/ pizza 🍕 🤦

Upon entering the studio, visitors quickly realize there is much more to learn about coffee than they initially thought.

The vibe is super chill with jazz music, breezy seating (both AC & non-AC), and a creative menu full of unique signature drinks.
I tried the Wild Side — a mix of cold brew, coconut, honey, and lime — and it was honestly one of the most refreshing and unforgettable coffee experiences I’ve ever had in Bali. 🍯🥥🍋 The cold brew sampler and nitro espresso mocha are also next-level! And don’t even get me started on the croissants 🥐… perfect.
Yes, it’s a little pricey, but the quality, atmosphere, and attentive staff make it worth every rupiah. A gem in Ubud for true coffee lovers. 🌿

We had a wonderful time at Seniman Coffee Ubud! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, and the coffee is simply excellent. From the aroma to the flavor and presentation, you can really tell that they take their craft seriously. It's a perfect spot to unwind, have a good conversation, or just enjoy a well-made cup of coffee.
A special thank you to Saman for the warm and attentive service. You made our visit even more enjoyable with your friendliness and professionalism. We truly appreciate it!
We'll definitely be coming back the next time we're in Ubud. ☕✨
They have a coffee house , a music store and a restaurant all in one place.
You can eat while purchasing CDs and music merchandise or you can look at them while drinking your coffee. They also conduct coffee making workshops.
We ordered spring rolls, a smoothie , a tart which were good.We also ordered a vegan dessert which wasnt much good.
They have valet parking service, which is very good because we couldnt see any space to park our scooter.
Retro Vibes & Serious Coffee
Very cool café with an 80s retro feel and a creative, artistic décor. The coffee-making setup is super advanced — you can tell they take their craft seriously. It’s a great spot to read, chill, and enjoy a quality cup of coffee.
I had the avocado toast and it was well done. The egg Portuguese tart was alright, a bit overcooked for my liking, but still enjoyable.
Overall, a stylish café with excellent coffee and a unique vibe. Worth checking out if you’re in Ubud.
- Very cool vibe and atmosphere
- They have a lot of signature coffees and menu items.
- Tried the Wild Erness which is a coffee topped with white chocolate cream and it’s pretty good but it tastes more like dessert rather than a wake up juice, in case that’s your thing.
- They have AC and non-AC area but even the non-AC area is full of breeze so it was nice to hang out there.
- A little pricey but I feel like it’s worth it because I always enjoy my time and my drinks there
Came across this coffee place on the internet and based on the photos gave it a shot….. WOW, the atmosphere is so relaxed and friendly. I ordered the Define Void…. Strawberry based tea, delicious, and my gf had the affogato 5 elements, which came with two coffee testers. As you can see, very well presented. And most importantly….. THE COFFEE IS GREAT☕️☕️
Seniman Coffee Studio: Chill Vibes and Single-Origin Beans
When traveling, the hunt for quality specialty coffee is always on, and Indonesia, with its rich history of beans, promises much. Seniman Coffee Studio in Bali not only meets that promise but wraps it in a perfectly unique atmosphere. Even if your travel partner (like my Mindy) isn't a coffee fanatic, this place is absolutely worth the visit.
Quality and Variety:
The focus here is clearly on showcasing Indonesian coffee heritage. Seniman offers about a dozen different single-origin coffees, available both hot and iced by the cup. While some are locally sourced from Bali, the entire selection is proudly Indonesian.
My choice was the Affogato "5 Elements". This unique dessert is an assortment of different coffees and accompanying coffee ice creams. While Mindy steered clear of the coffee, she was more than happy to help me tackle the yummy ice cream :) It’s a delightful and memorable presentation that elevates a simple affogato into a culinary experience.
Chill Vibe and Seating:
Beyond the coffee, the studio itself is just a pretty cool place. The seating areas are chill, making it easy to relax and unwind. We chose to sit outside, which provided a great opportunity to people-watch and soak up the local energy. The combination of good coffee, unique presentations, and a genuinely relaxed cafe makes Seniman a perfect pit stop.
Seniman coffee is a great spot to check out. Their dishes are reasonably priced, served in generous portions and are quite filling. They also offer alternatives for those who prefer non-coffee drinks. The atmosphere is cozy, making it a good spot to chat with friends.

The Ubud Art Market is a bustling hub of Balinese craftsmanship, offering a diverse array of unique items such as handicrafts, batik, accessories, and clothing. Visitors can explore the market's offerings and haggle with vendors for one-of-a-kind souvenirs. It's recommended to compare prices across different stalls, negotiate with sellers, and inquire about the authenticity of goods.
I really enjoyed visiting Ubud Art Market. It's full of colours and I loved walking around and exploring the different stalls, each selling unique handmade decor, bags, coasters, jewellery and souvenirs. Most of the vendors are warm and welcoming. Bargaining made my shopping experience even more exciting! Carry cash!
Neetha A — Google review
Most of the prices are 3x the selling price we see at stores in Sanur Harbor. Even if you haggle, you will just be able to haggle it to the original selling price. So don’t buy unless you don’t have time to look elsewhere or want a challenge to haggle until you deem the price is worth the item. We were able to buy some items that I didn’t see in other places like the patched up pants.
A vibrant place full of handicrafts, souvenirs, and Balinese art. Prices can be quite expensive, so make sure you have good bargaining skills. Parking is a bit difficult, but aside from that, it’s a great spot to explore and experience the local atmosphere.
A large market with many similar stalls—it can feel a bit repetitive, as most shops sell the same items. Prices are inflated for tourists, so bargaining is expected, and you can often bring the price down by half or more, which makes it hard to know the real value. While the setting is lively and picturesque, giving you a nice spot to wander if you’re already in the area, it feels more tourist-oriented than authentic. We noticed the same goods being sold in many other parts of Bali, so don’t expect unique local craftsmanship here. Do check out the second floor if you visit, but overall, I wouldn’t return as it lacked originality.
Ubud Art Market is a vibrant and colorful place that truly reflects the artistic soul of Bali. Located right in the heart of Ubud, this market is packed with beautiful handmade items — from wooden carvings and rattan bags to batik clothes, paintings, and jewelry. Every corner is filled with creativity and craftsmanship, making it a must-visit for anyone who loves local art and culture.
One of the best parts of shopping here is the bargaining experience. The initial price that vendors quote is usually much higher than the actual selling value, so don’t hesitate to negotiate — it’s part of the fun! In many cases, you can get items for half or even one-third of the first price if you bargain politely and with a smile. For example, if something starts at 300,000 IDR, you can often get it for around 100,000 IDR or even less.
It’s a great feeling when you walk away with a good deal while supporting local artisans. Just take your time, explore the different stalls, and enjoy the friendly conversations with the sellers. Overall, Ubud Art Market is not just a shopping stop — it’s a cultural experience where your bargaining skills can truly shine!
Products are costly here because tourists place. Shop owners know this. But you can get products in cheap prices after bargain. You can easily bargain 50% less price and shop owners will agree.
I purchased the similar products outside the market with less price and same quality.
Rest, Street Style Market, you have to walk a lot between the shops. Must Visit but do not buy anything unless you really liked it.
Check out the images for more information.
Pretty big market full of souvenirs and clothes. Everyone is happy to bargain, basically the price they tell you at first is always highly overpriced. If the say something cost 300k you can buy it at 150k easily or start bargaining and get it down to 50-100k rupees. Never ever accept initial pricing.
We bought a bunch of souvenirs and clothes here.
Pricing for the magnets is about +-20k, most of the clothes (tshirts, shorts, etc) you can get at 50-100k.
Second time coming back to the Ubud Art Markets. Exciting as its very touristy, large and crowded. But each stall, is very repetitive. Haggling is terrible, cannot even look at something with out them expecting to buy. Prices will be 3 or 4 times dearer, and without knowing an idea of the cost, you will over pay. Seen a lot of the same stuff in Kuta. Be careful with purchases, even with a quick expectation the sarongs i brought has massive stains that cannot come out.

Cafe
Acai Queen is a cozy cafe that not only serves a diverse menu but also allows customers to craft their own customized meals. The focus here is on healthy, organic food, with homemade snacks such as avocado toast and peanut acai being popular choices. While the small size of the establishment and limited parking may be drawbacks, the high-quality and delicious offerings make it worth a visit for those seeking nutritious options.
My kids and I have eaten at Acai Queen dozens of times over the years and it has been absolutely delicious every time. Quality is top notch! They have a stamp card system which is a lovely perk for frequent diners such as us. And when we ran into an issue with redeeming our stamp card the owner was more than generous with her solution. And today when I asked for Mango in my bowl they offered for me to try a piece before adding it just to make sure it wasn’t too sour as it isn’t mango season. What a lovely place with thoughtful staff and ownership. I wish we lived closer so we could go more often.

This is hands down the best acai we ever had!! The flavour of the acai itself is just so good, and the toppings are super generous and fresh, we tried 4 different açais and couldn’t get enough of them, you also have very big choice of toppings. We highly recommend this place and would go back to Ubud only for it!
Have been to Açai Queen multiple times in bith locations in Ubud and I love it so much. The food itself, the presentation, the place, the staff - everything is perfect. And you get coconut crunch as a snack for every order. This time I even got a small coconut ball that was covered in chocolate. Delicious! Would always come back :)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m absolutely addicted to Acai Queen! The fruits are always so fresh, and I love their caramel toffee bits and signature granola — such a perfect combination. The complimentary coconut flakes are a lovely touch, and if you leave a review, you even get a chocolate coconut ball (so yummy!).
The service is consistently amazing — the ladies are attentive, polite, and always welcoming. I’m a regular customer, and every bowl truly makes my day. Thank you, Acai Queen! 💜🍓🥥
I don’t understand why this is highly rated, the acai smoothie base is nice - but the quantity and the amount of toppings you get js just not enough and doesn’t justify the price at all compared to other places in Bali.
They had used quite a bit of sugar on coconut shavings, ruining the authentic coconut flavour - and the peanuts in the peanut butter were over roasted.
I personally did not enjoy the entire experience.
No doubt the bowl looks aesthetic but the taste doesn’t make the mark.
The acai doesnt taste the best. Not sure why this place is extremely hyped but the amount you pay (also tax and service charge on top of the already expensive prices) doesnt worth what you eat... This place is just good to post cute instagram photos with your fruit bowl sold as acai bowl
Amazing food. Super tasty. I also love the little cards which makes you entertained/ thinking while waiting. Service is also good with little touches. The coconut chocolate at the finish are super delicious too.
Acacia Queen in Ubud is just truly beautiful! From the visual scene, the atmosphere, the beautiful staff and the incredible food.
I am so glad I stop in here along my travels.

Balinese restaurant

If you're in Ubud and craving a taste of traditional Balinese cuisine, make sure to visit Warung Babi Guling Ibu Oka 3. This popular spot is known for serving babi guling, a flavorful Balinese roasted pig dish that has become a favorite among locals and tourists alike. The succulent meat is prepared using traditional spices and roasting techniques, resulting in a mouth-watering culinary experience.
Super interesting to try this dish. I almost didn’t order the soup cause it was already so hot but would recommend you to order it in the set meal. Taste of the soup was great! The sausage was very spicy, the pig skin was nice and crispy. I also enjoyed the fried meat, the grilled one was ok.
It just got way to hot after I finished drinking the soup. A few more ventilators would definitely help. Staring into the forest to eat was a nice touch though!

One of the well-known babi guling spots in the Ubud area. The place is slightly hidden inside (need to walk past the narrow aisle), but it’s quite spacious with a nice greenery view.
In terms of taste, it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The spices weren’t as strong and flavorful for my liking. The fried pork were a bit tough (alot), but the meat is tender and plenty. The highlight was definitely the crispy pork skin - BEST I've eaten. If you come too late, the lawar might be sold out and they will replace it with sayur labu. Oh and the soup is similar with sop sayur with carrots and green beans.
The price is quite steep (tax included), and fyi they only accept cash payments.
It’s more the full experience and jungle neighborhood for me. Food very good but I miss the earlier days when there was a bit more grit and green banana leaves gave it that extra feel and taste…highly recommend for tourist experience. Loved the papaya juice! But be so careful with the seriously hot and good sambal!
It was really nice food and it’s my first time to enjoy our barbecue cooling that was like pulled pork it’s very soft and very tasty.
We came around 4pm and it was raining hard we had to move table due to the wind.
They have spacious seating with many tables and chairs. Perfect for big groups.
The babi guling itself wasn't among my favorites, I still can smell the pork from the meat. But the babi guling goreng was so good tho! Be careful, the bumbu was quite spicy compared to other babi guling. Beware if you're not a fan of spicy food.
The location is perfect for tourists who's visiting ubud. Which is near to the ubud palace and ubud art Market.vehicles will not reach to the property so you have to walk nearly 250 m. But it is good. The property ambiance is perfect for tourists. One side of the restaurant is facing toward the nature that's great and other side is with a fish pond and birds wich gives a cool atmosphere. We ate food after 3pm so the food was not hot at all. Better the want to heat the dish especially the pork meat, so overall food experience was not so great.
Very good Babi Guling. This outlet number 3 is my favorite. It’s a little hard to find but is actually the home of Ibu Oka. Nestled in a very green area.
The food was avarage, the staffs weren't that nice, they barely smile to us, the view was just bamboo tree.

Wasn’t sure what to expect as thought from the photos it looked different but was more intimate and very sweet. However, it lived up to and beyond my expectations! Food was so delicious! Everything we ordered was so amazing! The flavours were dancing around my mouth! Very happy experience. Would definitely recommend!

A nice change from the traditional Balinese food. We had yummy ceviche consisting of fish and seafood. My husband and I both had fish dishes to follow which were both delicious. The gnocchi was pillowy and so good! We had beer and wine and I also had one of their passion fruit juices which was delicious. Overall a great experience
Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere, stop by! Highlights were quesadillas, vegetarian options, and dessert. Everything was so delicious. The atmosphere was intimate but energetic. Thank you for a lovely dinner.
Incredibly delicious and nicely presented food. Prepared on the level of fine dining without the frills. I had the lamb skewers, broccoli, and mash. All of them were 10/10. Finished with chocolate cake which was good as well. Great attentive service as well. Highly recommend this place. I'm excited to come back and try more of the menu.
We had a wonderful dining experience at Pica. The service was lovely and incredibly quick, making us feel well taken care of. The food was simply amazing, every dish was bursting with flavor. We enjoyed the empanadas so much that we ordered them a second time! Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service.
Really enjoyed dinner at PICA in Ubud. The place is small and cozy, service was friendly, and the food was fresh and flavorful. We had 7 dishes degustation dinner, it was amazing ! The ceviche and faut cheese soufle were highlights, and the passion fruit juice were spot on. Worth it for the quality and atmosphere.
We love peruvian food and Pica is now on the top of our list. We love the Japanese Sakashi oyster (so fresh and tasty), their ceviche, the cerso confitado (one of the best pork belly we ever had). The final touch is the peruvian dessert, tres leche (to die for, we literally lick the bol!). The service is also very efficient and nice staff. Thank you!
I was expecting a little more South American feeling like I’ve seen advertised on Instagram . The food was ok as it had a little too much salt. The empanadas were delicious especially the seafood. Would

Despite its unassuming presence from the main road, it comes highly recommended by Ubud locals for both its food and stunning surroundings.
We had a delicious dinner here! Our favourite warung of our time in Indonesia. Would highly recommend the grilled prawns, pork ribs and chicken satay. All delicious and packed with flavour. Most of the other diners appeared to be Indonesian so we were thrilled to have hopefully stumbled across a less touristy place. It did make the menu and ordering in English a little tricky but we got by with Google translate. A small touch but beer is served with THE most delicious salty peanuts.

A Hidden Gem Near the Heart of Ubud!
Janggar Ulam has become one of my favorite go-to restaurants in Ubud. The staff are always warm and welcoming, which makes every visit feel special. The food is consistently delicious, flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the dishes. The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, with a cozy setting that’s perfect for both lunch and dinner. Plus, it’s conveniently located just minutes from the center of Ubud. Highly recommended if you're looking for great food and friendly service in a comfortable spot!
Amazing place! The food is delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The ambience is super relaxing with the pond and the fish creating a peaceful vibe. Perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a great meal.
For sure come again for the spicy chicken 😊
I wasn’t sure if the restaurant was open on my arrival as there was no one there. A very happy staff member came out to greet and l was so happy to see her as l was as really looking forward to sampling there bakar.
The restaurant is spread out with lots of different seating. There’s little huts/cabanas which l chose, outdoor garden seating and general seating at the entrance closest to the bar. I was really interested in there seafood options so l ordered the bbq fish & prawns along with their satay squid. Every was made quickly, fresh and delicious.
Do much flavour within every dish and the staff were brilliant
Highly recommend.
Best Indonesian food in Ubud! The restaurant has lovely staff and beautiful surroundings. The seafood noodles were very cheap and great value!
Nasi Gureng with Chicken was delicious! First meal in Ubud Bali and I just had the prefect dish! Thanks to the lovely people there. Totally recommend! Terima kasih 🙏
We asked our driver who is a local from Ubud where is his favourite place to eat so he took us to Warung Janggar Ulam. This place was fantastic. Turning off the road you go past a furniture shop, to the back, then set amongst rice fields is this gem.
The service was kind, welcoming and fast, they really made us welcome. The prices were fantastic and very affordable traditional food, with a broad range of favourites. A large range of seafood all fresh and cooked perfectly.
The toilets were clean and had western options.
Great hidden gem of a restaurant (warung) with lots of parking and many tables overlooking fish ponds. Great atmosphere.
Really good grilled duck (Bebek Bakar). Moist and well done but not dry.
The ice mocha isn't good though. Guess they don't know how to make it here.
The washroom aren't very clean. Even our public washroom at the villa is much cleaner.
Overall, the price and value of the food was very good. We will be back again. Let's hope they have staff to clean the washroom regularly or post signs for male guests to keep it in the toilet bowl.

A lovely walk. Best done early or late in the day this is casual stroll from Ubud. The path is easy to follow but not really suitable for disabled access as there's stairs along the way.
The surrounding vegetation is a little overgrown with weeds in sections but the walk is well worth allowing a couple of hours when in the area.
Nice place to walk not far from the city. You have a good walking trail, but most of it expose to the sun. You can't go of the walking way to gind you a nice quit place in the wood. On start from south you can reach the river. On the north point you have some galeres and coffee shoe.
If you need to get by walk to your entry point, start from south because there is a hilll to go, and it will be nicer to go down after you finish you walking.
Beautiful walk. Lots of up and down and stairs. If someone has trouble walking won't be too good for them. It is very hot as well. This Campuhan Ridge Walk can be a leisurely hike and takes around 30 to 45 minutes each way. Ofcourse depending on your pace and how often you stop for photos. I didn't go too far as it was very hot and humid but the entire round trip can be completed in about 1.5 hours.
I also recommend wearing comfortable sneakers or walking shoes because the path is uneven in some places.
If you plan to explore the nearby villages or stop at one of the cafés along the way, you might want to allow a bit more time.
I stopped at a beautiful temple to visit just before starting the trail, so I would probably dedicate half a day to this visit. Lush greenery everywhere. It's free to enter the place.
Spewing I didn’t get up earlier to enjoy the sunrise colours. I began the walk around 6am… the path is clean with few people around so it’s quite peaceful. Views from the ridge are lovely and friendly faces along the path made it a warm morning. I stopped at Karsa Spa for my booked massages and was very impressed. Am going to try lunch next door now
Very pretty walk, totally mapped out so you won’t get lost. I wish there was more of a loop but I basically stop at a cute cafe called Draniki get a juice and go back the way I came. It’s a good, relaxing way to get your steps in away from the town. But it’s not really a hike for anyone looking for a challenge.
The pavement/walkway was so clean and serene. Come early to avoid the heat. I didn't go all the way to the other side but you can enjoy the calm village view and had smoothie, fruits or coffee on your way.
Amazing trek but the walk is not suitable for children and prams. The hills are steep and the steps are crooked and easy to trip over. I saw a local trip and fall on my visit here. Be careful, wear good shoes. I would recommend not going on a hot day as there aren’t any air conditioned areas at the end point.

Zest is a well-known vegan restaurant located in Ubud, offering a bohemian atmosphere and a plant-based global menu made from locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant's focus on healthy eating and sustainability is reflected in its use of regional elements like turmeric, cassava, and moringa to create flavorful dishes. With its serene setting and scenic jungle views, Zest provides diners with a tranquil dining experience that emphasizes the connection between people and nature.
Very nice atmosphere here at Zest Ubud makes us feel close to the nature! Lots of seats but still best to make reservations in advance. Food was really great especially the pumpkin waffle with ice cream. Smoothie bowl was so aesthetically pleasing!

Zest Ubud is a place where you instantly feel at home. The location is simply stunning – surrounded by greenery with a bright, open atmosphere that radiates both peace and inspiration. Every corner is warmly and thoughtfully designed, and you can feel the love for detail everywhere. The vegan menu is impressively diverse and truly delicious – every dish we tried was fresh, creative, and full of flavor. A must-try are the Spicy Corn Ribs and the fruit bowls – both are a perfect 10/10! What we especially loved is that plant-based food here isn’t treated as just an alternative, but as a full culinary experience in its own right. Within only four days we visited twice, simply because we enjoyed it so much – which says it all. The team also makes the experience even more special: the staff are extremely friendly, attentive, and create such a positive vibe. For us, Zest Ubud is definitely one of the absolute highlights in Bali!
Our absolute favorite place in Ubud! We’ve tried so many restaurants and cafés in Bali, sometimes 4–5 a day, but after visiting Zest we didn’t want to go anywhere else. The atmosphere is so unique — it can’t really be put into words, you just have to experience it. We came in the morning, during the day, in the evening, even late at night… and every time the energy felt so special.
It’s incredibly cozy and makes you want to spend the whole day there, every day. The restaurant is fully vegan — which for me, as a non-vegan, after the third visit meant there was less excitement in trying new dishes — but still, everything is so unique and creative. And the selection of drinks is just amazing.
Some of the best vegan food in Ubud! The vibe is super chill here. Huge selection of great dishes and super amazing flavors. The food is fresh and designed with creativity. The staff and team here are some of the best. They are all super kind, very helpful, and full of smiles!! Great chill music, sometimes great live music. The views are also spectacular!! NOTE to the OWNER; please be aware of guests who sit around all day and take up space who are not ordering food or taking up entire tables with a laptop. It creates a low vibe and encourages a “work vibe”. Maybe make a laptop area only and tell guest who just sit around to kindly be on their way and let other people sit down. I love your concept and beautiful mission. Its a great place and I wish you the best in continued success!
Best vegan food we've had in Ubud. I love that they have so many gluten free options too. Our fave food were the sushi, cauliflower wings (AMAZING) and the pizza.
Healthy choices, friendly staff, and nice atmosphere. This place is always crowded with tourists hanging out or working on laptops (in the afternoon). I think both times we visited, once for lunch and once for dinner, we were the only locals :)
A soulful café with the best view in Ubud!
Zest Café sits gracefully on a hill overlooking the lush jungle — the kind of view that makes you want to pause, breathe, and just be present. 🌿 It’s easily accessible by Grab taxi, which makes it convenient even though it’s tucked away above the town.
The decor is absolutely stunning — full of natural textures, carved wood, plants, and artistic touches that reflect Bali’s creative spirit. The food is beautifully presented, full of vibrant colors and fresh, plant-based flavors.
It’s one of those places where time slows down — perfect for writing, reading, or simply enjoying the moment. ✨
Shared on my journey of yoga, mindfulness & travel at @AlwaysInYogaFlow
Stunning venue, and one of the most beautiful set in a restaurant I’ve seen across the globe.
The service was very polite but little bit slow, though that’s not an issue in Bali.
The whole piece of life is slow.
However, the menu is tasty with a really good selection of vegan food yet was really lacking in protein dishes.
They pointed out protein boosts to their foods but really needed some more Tempe and tofu on the menu.
Highly recommended though.
One of the best meals I’ve had in Bali!! Didn’t even know it was vegan my fist time here and came back a few days later with a huge group. Everyone could not stop raving about how good each meal, drink, and dessert was incredible!! Mushroom parmigiana and the chocolate goddess ball were the favorites for sure! Yulita was our server and she was so lovely, attentive and helpful!! Can’t wait to be back!

Museums
Painting
Perched on a hill overlooking the Campuhan valley, The Blanco Renaissance Museum was once the residence and studio of the vibrant artist Antonio Blanco. Known for his fascination with the female form, Blanco's collection features fantasy portraits of women in watercolors, collages, and erotic sketches. While not extensive, the museum showcases family portraits in an adjoining studio. Visitors are greeted by lithographic artworks of nude Balinese women displayed in a spacious marble hall.
The parrots were so so so adorable! I’ve never been this close to little parrots before—they even bowed their heads asking for pets! Oh my god, awww! And the staff helped me take photos with them, letting the parrots perch on my shoulder and stuff—just too cute!!
The entry ticket was around $10 AUD per person, which is totally worth it. It was very quiet inside with hardly any people, but the place had so much character. Even though there’s no air conditioning, walking around or sitting in the garden was actually quite pleasant. Highly recommend this place, though the parrots were more beautiful than the paintings—much more captivating. Lol

This museum houses the paintings of Antonio Blanco a Spaniard who was born in the Philippines then moved to Bali and settled here. It’s a beautiful quiet place. The parrots were my favourite part I got to hold them and take photos they are lovely and have such a calming energy. There were very few people and my mom and I enjoyed strolling around together. We enjoyed the quiet garden with the fountain and fishes 🐟 also the beautiful friendly parrots 🦜 there’s a plant based restaurant next door as well with some nice gelato and great service and views! I would totally recommend this place and the gelato next door to cool down after a long day of walking
An absolute gem in Ubud and a must-visit for anyone interested in art, history, and Balinese culture. 🎨✨
The Blanco Renaissance Museum was once the home and studio of the famous Spanish-Filipino artist Don Antonio Blanco, often called “the Dali of Bali.” He settled here in the 1950s after falling in love with a Balinese dancer — and with Bali itself. The museum beautifully preserves his legacy, displaying his passionate and sometimes whimsical artworks, mostly celebrating women, nature, and the spirit of life.
The museum building itself is stunning, perched on a hill overlooking lush green valleys, and designed in a mix of Balinese and Spanish architectural styles. Every corner feels alive with creativity — from the grand entrance gates to the spiral staircase and private studio. You can even see Blanco’s old workspace just as he left it, filled with brushes, paints, and personal memorabilia.
The gardens are peaceful and full of charm, with colorful flowers, sculptures, and even a few peacocks wandering freely — they really add to the fairytale atmosphere! 🦚 There’s also a small café where you can relax, enjoy a drink, and take in the views after your visit.
If you love art, history, or just discovering the soul of Bali through its artists, you’ll definitely appreciate this place. It’s both inspiring and serene — a glimpse into the life of a man who truly embodied creativity. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ubud! 🌺
Put this on your list of Top 100 things to do in Ubud. In other words there are 99 better things to do in Ubud than set foot in this badly-lit, dusty, self-Indulgent museum to a mediocre artist. The building and its grounds are impressive but that’s where it ends. Save your 100 IDR entrance fee and use it instead for a couple of patisserie at one of Ubuds best restaurants right next door at Plant Bistro. Here’s a picture of one of the displays at the museum to give you a taste of what you’re missing!
An excellent museum and a striking example of what can be achieved in a small provincial town like Ubud, using the legacy of a local (and international) art legend — the painter Antonio Blanco. PS His paintings, rich in sensuality and detail, are sure to appeal even to the most refined artistic tastes. Note that photography inside the museum is not allowed.
An interesting walk around Blanco's house and studio. There is a lovely outside area with, surprisingly, a few macaws and parrots on perches. Also a some mynah birds in a cage, which seemed a bit sad. The main ballroom building was very impressive.
Tourist tickets cost Rp 100,000 which seemed a bit steep. If ticket price were halved, that would perhaps be most appropriate.
I came expecting a nice relaxing art viewing but I was disappointed. The place was beautiful but my god it's so HOT inside, I was sweating like crazy and it makes me not comfortable to be in the museum for too long.
The birds were cute though, and the staff was nice and would offer to take your pics. But honestly for the ticket price of 55k it wasn't worth it overall
We had a lovey morning at the museum. Staff were very friendly and knowledgable and the grounds were as beautiful as the art inside. A morning well spent.

Museums
Nestled in the heart of Ubud, known as Bali's cultural capital, Museum Puri Lukisan is a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts. This charming museum boasts an extensive collection of both traditional and contemporary Balinese artworks, some dating back to the 1930s.
for those who loves art, paintings and want to know a little bit of art history in Bali/Ubud this is the place, more then 300 paints and sculptures. Besides that beautiful gardens and resto. Must go.

Worth a visit if you’re into art. 🎨 They’ve got some nice gardens and ponds outside, and four buildings showcasing works from old to modern. You can even buy paintings. Personally, I found it a bit boring — was expecting more than just art.
The museum is a must go to see a piece of the history of Balinese art. It’s not well conserved, but has a great overview of how art has evolved over the centuries. In oct 2025, tickets were 95k IDR with a bottle of water :-). The museum is split into 4 galleries with the south one dedicated to very recent artwork - the least interesting one. The gardens of the museum are beautiful.
A well curated museum.
Alot of Balinese history through art.
If you want to take it all in across each building of which there are four, be prepared to spend 90 minutes minimum.
This is probably among the better art museums in Indonesia. More importantly, it provides a narrative about the development of painting in Bali. The grounds are very beautiful, and given that most tourists won’t bother with a serious museum about art in a place such as Bali, it’s incredibly peaceful.
Despite reading bad reviews, I liked the museum. Very authentic. Beautiful grounds. Very good price on Klook.
Good museum with many interesting paintings. Nicely located in 4 buildings around a garden.
Absolutely loved this little art museum - the grounds are serene and picturesque, I learned about the artistic culture in Bali over time, and the special exhibition was very eye-catching. Visiting on a Sunday morning in late July had very few other people around.

An amazing place and a must when in Ubud. Beautiful view and location. We had the tasting menu and it was amazing! Such a great way to sample everything on the menu and all of it was beautiful. Staff were very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The food was all so fresh and prefectly cooked. Perfect place to spend the night with a great range of unique cocktails and wonderful food.
Matt M — Google review
Food, location and ambience are great. Awesome view overlooking the river and underneath the Campuhan foot bridge. We tried the meat lover, duck legs, gindara fish, spinach ravioli and a number of desserts. Coffee wasn't bad either. Overall a bit pricey though.
This shop, restaurant and bar is in a fantastic setting on the edge of the main road in Ubud town centre. It has great views across the bridge and the wilds of the forest covered hillside. The food was spectacular. Presented brilliantly, packed with freshness and flavours and utterly delicious. There were also complimentary palate cleansers between courses. The staff were wonderfully attentive and described the ingredients and flavours of each dish as it was served.
This isn't something I'd say fits the budget of your average backpacker however for those without a budget, expect top notch service and food for approx. £50 for a pair (Inc. drinks).
Tonight we had an exquisite dinner at Bridges in Ubud. The surrounds were breathtaking, enchanting, mystical and magical. We arrived and had a drink at the bar, then chaperoned upstairs once our table was available. Our waiter, Luis was a credit to the Balinese hospitality industry, college and the Bridges establishment, he has an infectious smile, a passion for excellence in dining, customer service and true to his culture and beliefs. His explanation of our chosen meals when brought to our table was unique and welcomed, it was lovely to have our meals explained to us, which were beautifully presented and were divine in taste.
To the Aussie owner from Byron Bay, your venue, service, menu and presentation is of superior standard and a credit to yourself and staff....extremely happy diners from Oz, we will return :-)
A very good restaurant near to gastronomic one. The team is very very good and adorable. Every time smiling.the main course are very excellent and the dressing is very beautiful. You will enjoy the jungle view and the sound of river accompanied by very relaxing music. and smiley. Price are a little bit high comparing to other restaurant, but accessible for European.
Tried the tasting menu and all was good and tasty, except for the meat main dish so that is why rating is 4 stars. We complained about the meat and were offered to try again with meat re-done, but we were full already and got a discount as an apology instead. Otherwise a very nice place to have dinner at. Enjoyed the view and the experience. The place does feel a bit touristy, but it is cosy even though the restaurant is quite large. There is a bit of noise of the bridge but nothing that bothered us too much. Pleasent experience overall.
Loved the ambiance - had a gorgeous tropical forest view. Enjoyed every bit of the serenity and oxygen 💖💖💖
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Had traditional balinese food, a matcha green tea and dessert - would give the food a 4/5 and would definitely come back!
Upscale restaurant in Ubud. The plating and presentation is fantastic. Food quality is good, but not outstanding. Highly recommend the zucchini blossoms. Drinks are good too. If you are looking for something reasonable priced that feels upscale I would try this.

The best dining experiences we've had in Bali!
The staff were incredibly nice, friendly, and attentive — they remembered my dietary restrictions, which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. The environment was both beautiful and cozy, and they prepared a lovely table for us facing the river, which made the evening even more special.
We ordered the 5-course menu, and every dish was beautifully presented, fresh, and absolutely delicious. You can tell a lot of care went into both the preparation and the service.
We were celebrating my husband’s birthday, and the staff went above and beyond — they surprised him with a birthday cake and sang for him. It was such a heartwarming gesture and made the night truly memorable.
Thank you again to all the staff for your amazing hospitality. This is definitely one of the best restaurants we've tried in Bali. Highly recommend!

Arcadia is a stunning riverside restaurant in Ubud, perfect for a romantic evening. The ambiance is serene, with the sound of the river creating such a relaxing atmosphere. We were welcomed with complimentary snacks, which was a lovely touch.
The dishes were impressive, the burrata & prosciutto was fresh and delicate, the seared foie gras rich yet beautifully balanced, and the 12-day dry-aged duck had incredible depth of flavor. The herb-crusted lamb was tender and aromatic, while the dark chocolate lava cake made the perfect indulgent finale.
Service was excellent, warm, attentive, and thoughtful. Overall, Arcadia offers not just delicious food, but a truly memorable dining experience by the river. Highly recommended.
Amazing restaurant. Very cool dark atmosphere and delicious food.
We had the Pasture set menu with wine and cocktail pairing. Not cheap but worth it for a great experience.
There was an amuse bouche between each of the five courses plus bread at the start so we ended up with 11 different courses in a way!
Staff were all super friendly. Food and drink were delicious. Four different set menus to choose from including meat, pescatarian, vege, and vegan so something for everyone.
Only thing that slightly brings it down is that the toilets don’t match the standard of the rest of the place. If they were brought up to match the restaurant it would be perfect.
Absolutely wonderful experience here. I used to come when the restaurant was called Bridges and the food and view and interiors are just as stunning if not even better now. The staff are super kind pleasant and welcoming. They gave us free amuse bouche and palate cleansers between courses which was nice. Everything tasted amazing the cocktails were top notch too. Highly recommend this place!
How good is this place! Fantastic service. Very interesting building design with vast seperate dining areas. And the food matched. The history of the restaurant is also interesting. Best meal and service while eating in Bali for our trip.
One of the best fine dining experiences in Ubud!
Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding food and drinks. The restaurant is located under the Ubud bridge, offering a serene river view and calming vibes that make the experience even more special.
The dishes may come in small portions, but every bite is flavorful and satisfying, definitely fills you up in the best way.
Special thanks to Kak Mely and Kak Febry, who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. They helped us prepare a surprise birthday celebration and were extremely kind and helpful throughout the evening.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a romantic or special dining experience in Ubud.
Excellent ~ Beautiful culinary creations, reasonably priced for an upper scale experience.
I got the 5 course sea based selection with the cocktail pairings. Most notable was the desert ~ an absolute work of art. The salmon was notable as well - cooked to perfection with crisp skin atop a tangy creamy sauce.
Suggestion for the sets - I’d love a mocktail option! Wine and cocktails are great, but many people nowadays, myself included, would prefer to have well crafted drink concoctions along with our meal without the liquor :)
Honestly, the best place I tried in Bali!
I spent 16 days on the island, and this was by far my favourite spot overall — from the service to the food and the beautiful surroundings, everything was perfect. I’d go back to Ubud just to eat here again!

BLANCO par Mandif is a fine dining restaurant that offers a modern twist on traditional Indonesian cuisine in an elegant and intimate setting. Located within the Don Antonio Blanco Museum compound, this award-winning establishment, led by renowned chef Mandif M. Warokka, serves haute Indonesian degustation menus with a contemporary flair. The restaurant's stylish ambiance and focus on degustation make for an exclusive dining experience, accommodating only 28 guests each evening.
An absolute must visit for fine dining lovers.
This restaurant offers an exceptional menu. We decided on the signature menu with beverage pairing.
I highly recommend the pairing as 3 out of 8 courses were served with a cocktail that lifted flavours like no wine could have.
The service was impeccable with high attentiveness but without intrusion- just what you want.
I can't even start talking food, too good. As food connoisseur we were extremely satisfied by flavour and outstanding technique.
This restaurant, if located in Europe, would be on the Michelin 2 star list.

Love the team! Friendly and fun! They also take note on my allergies. Food starts real good! MVP dish of the night shall be the fish! The pairing throughout the night is good. Absolutely love the first drink made from arak! Well this place can’t disappoint as it’s rated top 1 in Indonesia 💛
An exemplary display of fine degustation! Service was impeccable and tailored; from being greeted at the outdoor entrance to printing out menus with our names on it and even giving us a handwritten card with both our names. Dessert was ridiculously thought out, thanks for the incredible experience.
One of the best restaurants I've been to in a while. The tasting menu was a perfect way to discover Indonesian cuisine cooked at a Michelin level. An amazing blend of western and Indonesian cooking techniques.
I really appreciated the way the dishes were brought and presented. Each dish is carefully thought out, beautiful and delicious.
The service was professional, warm and the attention to detail was phenomenal.
The waitstaff were kind enough to kindly offer to call a taxi after the meal. Again, the attention to detail was really appreciated.
To start with the positive, the food was mostly pretty on point and the service was great.
Now, for that price point, there was a number of problems:
1. One of dish served (wing bean) was litterally uneatable in one of the plates (extremely hard, impossible to cut through). We were offered a replacement - ok
2. The lobster, same thing, extremely bland and extremely tough to cut through.
3. Idk what is going in the kitchen but we could hear somebody coughing and sneezing loudly in there the whole night (we sat there for 4h+). Very disturbing from such a place... and to add to that there was obviously a young child as well there in the kitchen or some back room, as we repeatedly heard it screaming... I mean seriously ?
4. Cocktail prepared upon request was a huge miss. Tasted like a cheap bar cocktail but in a fancy glass. I mean, Jose Cuervo as liquor to pair with fine dining, really ?
Now looking through the Google review for the restaurant, a lot of them (recent) are obviously FAKE. Have things gone downhill so far for this place that they have to go down this path ?...
Anyways. For that price point, go somewhere else in Ubud unless they manage to get their things together.
Fine dining that does not disappoint. Presentation is impressive and the dishes are unique. Wine list could be improved, but the cocktail pairing was excellent and overall a memorable experience.
Best experience in a Balinese restaurant I've had. Boy talk about deliciousness & service. I took the 9 course dinner which took me 3 hours to finish. This place deserves a Michelin star, very romantic and waiters know about the food, not to mention the impeccable service they provide. The sue chef came to my table to explain the first course, then the head chef also made a visit to make sure I'm satisfied. For my dessert the pastry chef also came by. Give it a try I'm sure you won't regret it.
An evening at Blanco Par Mandif was a culinary odyssey! Chef Mandif M. Warokka's innovative Indonesian cuisine is nothing short of spectacular, the dinner was a feast for the senses.
It began with a unique touch – the handwashing ceremony. Instead of the conventional warm towel, they elevate this routine into a refined ritual 💅, setting the tone for the exceptional evening ahead.
We tried the tasting menu. You can see that each dish was a testament to the chef's meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to culinary excellence. But 2 standout stars are the "14 Days Aged Smoked Duck Breast" and the "Signature Getug 6.0 A MUST TRY!!!!
The service at Blanco Par Mandif was nothing short of exceptional. The attention to detail, from the timing of each course to the knowledge of the menu, was nothing short of phenomenal. The seamless orchestration of the evening's proceedings added to the overall charm of the dining experience.
For anyone seeking the pinnacle of progressive Indonesian dining, Blanco Par Mandif is a must-visit destination 👏👏👏👏

Balinese restaurant
Casa Luna is a popular dining spot in Ubud, known for its blend of Balinese and Mediterranean cuisines. During the day, it offers a casual dining experience, while at night, it transforms into an enchanting escape with Brazilian Jazz performances. The restaurant hosts jazz nights on Wednesdays and Sundays, featuring the Rio Sidik Jazz Quartet. Guests can enjoy tapas and cocktails while being serenaded by soothing tunes.
We had a delightful dinner at Casa Luna in Ubud! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the food was absolutely fantastic. We tried the fish curry and the seafood paella—both local-style dishes recommended by the staff—and they did not steer us wrong. The flavors were rich, fresh, and beautifully balanced.
They also had a great happy hour deal, which made the experience even better. The cocktails were well-crafted and paired perfectly with the meal.
A special shoutout to Novi, who made the evening even more enjoyable with her warm hospitality and friendly conversation. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend!

Casa Luna – A True Taste of Ubud
An authentic Balinese restaurant nestled in the heart of Ubud’s central street. Casa Luna feels genuine and full of character, with traditional décor and warm Bali vibes that make it a charming and relaxing stop — just steps away from Ubud Palace and the Water Palace.
The staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming, dressed in traditional Balinese attire that adds to the cultural experience.
The food is delicious and well-prepared. I especially enjoyed the chicken satay, which stood out as my favorite. The pasta and fish & chips were also surprisingly good — a nice fusion for every palate. Don’t miss out on their desserts either.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy tasty food in an authentic and relaxed setting in the heart of Ubud.
I travelled all the way from London and this little gem in Bali made the journey even sweeter!
The carrot cake was moist and topped with the creamiest frosting — honestly one of the best my wife had.
The vanilla cake was beautifully light yet rich in flavor, and the lemon meringue was a showstopper: zesty, refreshing, and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness.
On top of the delicious desserts, the customer service was outstanding. The staff were so warm, welcoming, and attentive, making me feel right at home. You can tell they truly care about their guests’ experience.
If you’re in Bali and love desserts, this place is an absolute must-visit.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
Casa Luna in Ubud is absolutely beautiful. The food is amazing — full of flavour and so fresh. The whole place has a peaceful Buddha vibe that I loved, and even the toilets were spotless.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and the service was great both times I visited.
I’ve come here twice during my stay in Ubud and would happily come back again. Highly recommend. 💛✨
Amazing place, they also own honeymoon bakery and hotel close by:
- sourdough (best sourdough ever) I also bake bread but their bread was too good.
Tried their pulled pork eggs Benedict with sourdough and it was brilliant
- they have Balinese cooking classes which should be booked 1 day prior - didn’t try but wish I had known earlier
- croissants are fresh , flaky and buttery
Great food, really good portions and Balinese decorations on point. Beautiful experience. Their bakery is amazing.
We went there - although the reviews were not so "high" for Bali standards - because it started raining.
We made a very good choice, the food was very good and the atmosphere also.
I would recommend to go downstairs where is more quiet and the place is like a 60s restaurant. We recommend it.
I'd give it 10 stars. Our favorite place in Bali. We went here 5 out of the 7 days we were in Ubud. The coffee and desserts are delicious. The staff are so sweet and friendly. The place is big and spacious, so you can comfortably sit and chat. The interior is lovely. It's not exactly in the city center, but it's an easy walk. One evening, when we wanted tea, they offered us a lemongrass mixed brew, and we loved it! Nothing we ate was disappointing. They use bottled water, which is safe and clean. Definitely go and try it! 💞

Theme park
Outdoor activity organiser
Bali Swing, located in Ubud on the Indonesian island of Bali, is a popular adventure outfit that offers various tours, rafting trips, and rope swings with stunning jungle views. Ubud itself is known for its picturesque setting among rice paddies and steep ravines and has become a hub for arts and culture tourism. The Bali Swing experience is highly recommended for visitors looking to capture breathtaking photos while soaring above the jungle, valley, rice terraces, and rivers.
We visited the Bali Swing with some friends during our holiday, and it was such a fun experience! The hill leading up was a little steep, but once you’re there the swings are absolutely fantastic and well worth it.
Some of the girls hired dresses for photos, which added an extra touch and made the experience even more memorable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole setup felt safe and well organised.
We had a great time and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something unique and exciting to do while in Bali.

Great Views and Photos, But Staff Attitude Needs Work
Visited Real Bali Swing in Ubud and overall, it’s a good place if you’re looking for some iconic photo moments with a lush, scenic backdrop of greenery and water. The location itself is beautiful and natural, with about 8–10 different swings designed for that perfect Instagram shot.
However, it’s on the expensive side — 650K IDR per person for access to all swings and lunch, plus 200K per person if you want professional photography, and another 250K for dress rental (plus 50K for a floral crown). Also, do note they prefer cash over card, which can be a hassle if you’re not carrying enough.
Some swings were genuinely fun and made for amazing photos, while others felt more like filler rides just there to increase the count.
The major downside was the staff, especially the male crew members managing the swings. The reception ladies were friendly and helpful, but the swing assistants were rude, impatient, and lacking basic manners. Despite paying for photography, we had to call them multiple times just to get their attention for photos, and they acted like they were doing us a favor.
Another thing I found unfair is that even if you want to use just one or two swings, you still have to pay the full 650K — no option for individual access.
Toilets are also very limited and not well-maintained, which was disappointing for a place charging premium prices.
Overall, worth a visit for the natural setting and memorable pictures, but the experience could be so much better if the staff were more courteous and the pricing model was a bit more flexible.
Obviously very touristy but such a gorgeous place showcasing the beauty of Bali. Had so much fun taking photos even with just the general entry, which also came with the lunch buffet. It was just a nice bonus but you could even just sit there with some tea and soak in the views. I recommend going super early before it gets packed and if you're lucky you might get one of the local photographers to help you but make sure you tip them!!!
It looks dreamy and adventurous in photos, but in reality, it’s more of a well-managed photo spot than an actual thrill ride. The queues can be long, and everything feels a bit commercialized, from the setup to the pricing.
That said, once you’re up there swinging against the backdrop of Bali’s lush greenery, you can’t deny the view is breathtaking. The staff are friendly, they guide you well for safety and also help you get those perfect Insta-worthy shots.
It might not live up to the overhype, but it’s definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience — one of those iconic memories and photo proofs that mark your visit to Bali 🇮🇩🌴📸✨
We had an amazing experience at Bali Swing! The staff gave us all the time we needed to take beautiful photos — no rushing or waiting lines stressing everyone out, even though it was Saturday. A big thank you to the whole team for being so kind and for preparing a lovely surprise for my birthday. It made the day even more special!
The guys at the couple's swing are so nice and supportive, they try to take the best pics and videos, and they try until you get beautiful memories. My husband and I were a bit scared of the heights but they were very understanding and encouraged us. :)
We came to Bali Swing for the first time 🥰 the staff were very accommodating and friendly. We did not have to book and managed to get in pretty quick. The prices are affordable. Definitely recommend.
Superb photos

French restaurant
Mozaic is a renowned gastronomic restaurant in Ubud, Indonesia, that has been a pioneer in the culinary scene for over twenty years. The restaurant boasts two degustation menus - a Seasonal menu and a Botanicals menu, featuring dishes like dry-aged duck breast and beef carpaccio with rendang spices. Additionally, Mozaic offers an interactive dining experience at The Chefs Table and houses a walk-in wine cellar at the Tasting Room.
A spectacular experience. My fiancé and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary together here after two different locals recommended Mozaic. The staff were amazing, the food was divine, and the atmosphere was perfect. We chose the 6 course tasting menu which was creatively-crafted, and we opted for a seasonal cocktail each as we had plans early the next morning and didn't want to drink too much, but there are cocktail and wine pairing options. We must say that the canapés before we even sat down for our starters already had us saying how amazing it was!! It was quite expensive, but then again, one of our best dinner date night experiences ever and we would highly recommend it!

The dining experience here is thoughtfully curated and quite unique. It begins in a cozy lounge area where you’re served an amuse-bouche along with a welcome drink—this is a nice touch and helps set a relaxed tone for the evening. After that, you’re led into the indoor dining room for a series of starters, and later moved again to a beautiful garden space where the main courses are served. The transition between spaces makes the meal feel like a journey, and the presentation of each dish is elegant and clearly well considered.
While the ambiance and service were both top-notch—the staff were attentive, professional, and warm—I personally found the food to be just decent. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it didn’t really impress me or live up to the high expectations that come with the price. The flavors were clean and refined, but lacked that extra “wow” factor that I was hoping for from a fine dining experience.
One thing that stood out (in a less positive way) was the pacing of the meal. After finishing each dish, I found myself waiting about 15 minutes for the next one to arrive. I understand that dishes are freshly prepared and timing is important for presentation and quality, but the gaps between courses felt a bit too long and slightly disrupted the flow of the meal.
All in all, it’s a lovely venue with great service and a creative dining concept, but for me, the food didn’t quite justify the overall price and time commitment.
Seasonal Menu: 8 course meal 1,700,000, excluding beverages. Additional 20% tax not included.
Had the 8 course, seasonal menu. With wine pairing.
The pairing was good and I loved most of the dishes. The desserts were not great, in my opinion. Also 2 desserts out of 8 courses seemed too much, but I'm also more of a fan of savory vs sweet.
The pace was good, didn't feel like I was waiting eagerly on the next course.
I could have skipped the "while we wait" cocktail. Only had 2 sips, so a waste.
I rarely write Google reviews, but this time I felt I had to share so others don’t have the same disappointing experience I did. I brought my mom here for her birthday during our trip to Bali, hoping for a memorable fine dining evening after seeing so many positive reviews. Unfortunately, the reality was far from what we expected.
The food was underwhelming, most dishes lacked flavor, and even the signature main course, the duck, had an unpleasant smell that made it hard to enjoy. On top of that, each course took so long to arrive that we were struggling to stay awake between dishes.
What surprised me most was the service. I don’t know why, but out of all the places we’ve dined in Bali, the staff here provided the poorest customer care, even though this was also the most expensive restaurant we’ve been to on this trip. The staff seemed tired and disengaged, as if they just wanted to finish their shift. They didn’t make us feel welcomed or cared for throughout the evening. For a birthday dinner, there was no effort to make it feel special; even offering to take a simple photo for us never happened.
I truly regret choosing this place for such an important occasion. For the price and service charge, I had expected much more. I hope this review serves as a consideration for others who are thinking of dining here.
Absolutely extraordinary — the best dining experience I’ve had in Bali and one of the best anywhere. Every dish was flawless — from the blue crab and wagyu short rib to the foie gras, dry-aged duck, and ginger flower sorbet. The pairings were perfect, and the balance of local flavors with fine-dining precision was world-class. Chef and the Mozaic team thank you
Excellent restaurant offering delicious cuisine. The eight-course menu left me feeling very full and satisfied with culinary impressions. Highly recommend the trout with bell pepper, wagyu short ribs, and foie gras (!)
An absolute must for all fine dining lovers. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the service was excellent. We started the night inside the main building and were later transferred to the backyard, which is surrounded by bushes and trees with the grill located in the middle. The food was delicious and very creatively arranged on the plate. For one plate, the head chef served us the dish and added the final touches at our table.
An exceptional fine dining experience — truly unforgettable.
We tried their seasonal 6- and 8-course tasting menus for two people, and every dish was a masterpiece. From the warm and elegant welcome to the last bite of dessert, everything at Mozaic was flawless. The presentation, flavor and creativity of each course were on another level — both refined and full of character. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind, making us feel both special and at ease throughout the evening.
Highly recommended for anyone who values true culinary excellence.
Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful evening!

Nestled in the heart of Ubud, Pura Taman Kemuda Saraswati, also known as the Ubud Water Palace, is a breathtaking Hindu temple that pays homage to the goddess Saraswati. As you stroll along a picturesque pathway over serene lotus ponds, you'll be captivated by its intricate stone architecture and lush surroundings. This tranquil oasis offers an escape from the busy world outside, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its beauty and spirituality.
Very nice. They have the traditional garb for you to wear, but it was damp from previous wearers not understanding the use of umbrellas…
The temple itself is pretty and a nice 10 min stroll around. Some cool sculptures and it must be great to watch the traditional dancing they do here!! Can have a drink or food at lotus cafe with good view of temple and fountains as well.

It was ok, but be aware that visitors are not allowed inside the temple at all, so all you get to see for the entrance fee is the gardens and ponds at the front. They're pretty, for sure, but it's not quite what we were expecting. I understand it's culturally important and they don't want to be overrun with tourists, but it's disappointing to get there and find out you can't actually see the best bits. The front also houses a Starbucks (!!!) and big restaurant, so it's not exactly capturing the authentic temple feel.
A very beautiful landmark in the heart of central Ubud. Very close to the Ubud Palace and is a must visit place.
There is of course entrance fees to be paid. All visitors are provided traditional attire and it looks really nice.
There are cultural performances every evening.
A lot of restaurants and cafes are there within the compound and nearby.
Pura Taman Kemuda (Saraswati Temple) is absolutely magical. The moment you walk in, you feel the calm energy of the place. The lotus pond is stunning — peaceful, dreamy, and perfect for photos — and the temple’s carvings and architecture are incredibly detailed and full of soul.
It’s one of those spots in Ubud where you can slow down, breathe, and really feel Bali’s spiritual side. Even with visitors around, the atmosphere stays serene. I loved every minute here. A must-visit if you’re in Ubud. ✨🌺
Disappointing
After seeing this online, I was very keen to visit. However, after I was left disappointed. It appears they have made some renovations/changes this year and not for the most positive.
The stepping stones have been added to the lily pad ponds but I’m not sure if that’s to the detriment of the lily pads…. Didn’t look as healthy as previous photos.
The main area of the temple is no longer public accessible so you’re really just seeing the front garden. Which you could just look at from the road without paying the entrance fee.
The traditional Balinese dress is required to be worn, but is just passed onto the next person and on a hot day is very sweaty and grubby. Also just comes in one size. So if you are a bit taller or wider it doesn’t fit correctly and just probs make a bit of a mockery of it all rather than being culturally sensitive
If you buy tickets online they will be cheaper than at the entrance. Dress in traditional clothes. Honestly, I think you need to come here early in the morning, as we were there at 12 noon and there were a lot of people, it was hard to take photos. The temple itself, the architecture and the decor are very cool.
Fun little stop on our journey. We took some pictures in the thrones and enjoyed a Starbucks drink before we entered.
Nice that they provided the traditional dress for us and a free juice on the way out.
Very friendly, warm and welcoming staff. Beautiful temple. Very unique photo opportunities inside the temple grounds, but not in the actual temple.

Restaurant
Warung Makan Bu Rus is a hidden gem in Ubud, offering traditional Balinese meals in a humble setting with a large and beautiful garden. The restaurant's ambiance is an experience on its own, with customers dining in small huts scattered amidst lush greenery. Despite its unassuming appearance from the street, the garden at the back feels like an oasis. Visitors can expect delicious dishes such as seafood curry that are described as hot and spicy, just as they should be.
Absolutely great place for dining. Tasty food, clean environment, controlled seatings, fair pricing. Our homestay host intro this Warung to us, and we greatly appreciate that. Their desert is a must try. The best thing here was that when their seating is full, they inform you. This also means they do not overstretched their kitchen. We love this Warung so much we came back twice for their deserts 😂.

I recently visited this restaurant and had a very positive experience. The atmosphere was welcoming and pleasant, striking a nice balance between lively and relaxed. The interior was well-designed and created a cozy and inviting setting for the meal, whether you're dining as a couple, with family, or in a larger group of friends.
The service was professional and friendly. The staff were attentive without being intrusive and were happy to answer any questions about the menu. The food arrived at the table in a timely manner, and both the presentation and temperature were just right – if not better than expected.
The menu offered a good variety of options, and it was clear that the ingredients were fresh and of high quality. The flavors were well-balanced, and each dish felt thoughtfully prepared and carefully composed. Starters, main courses, and desserts all maintained a consistent high standard. Portion sizes were appropriate, and the pricing reflected the quality of the food served.
Overall, this was a thoroughly satisfying dining experience. It’s a place I would gladly return to and can confidently recommend – whether you’re looking for a casual weekday meal or something a bit more special. The restaurant delivers on all fronts and leaves a lasting impression worth repeating.
Had dinner here on my first night in Ubud, and it was probably the best food I had during my stay there.
I ordered the moringa curry. I’m no vegetarian, but it sounded exotic and turned out absolutely delicious. The portion wasn’t huge, yet with the extra rice it worked out fine. A touch more spice would have been welcome, but it was still refreshing, tasty, and very different from anything else I’ve had in Indonesia.
The space is lovely, with a beautiful, laid-back inner terrace. And compared to the Ubud average, it’s some of the best value for money I found.
Burus has such a lovely Balinese setup and quickly became one of my favorite spots in Ubud.
I’ve visited twice during my stay—once for coffee and once for dinner. They have a small seating area by the road that’s perfect for a casual coffee, and a cozy garden area inside with a beautiful Balinese vibe, ideal for lunch or dinner.
In close proximity to Ubud palace.
The service is impeccable, and the food is really good too. I absolutely loved this place and will definitely be visiting again
Lovely food for good price. Should make reservations for dinner as it is always busy in the evening. Lunch time is much more quiet and plenty of space.
I had an amazing vegan dish called Ketoprak. Its originally vegetarian but the very helpful And friendly staff quicky offered to change egg to tempeh And shrimp crackers to bean crackers. The satay was so tasty And all the ingredients fresh And well seasoned. The atmosphere is also so cozy And i loved sitting on the ground on pillows. 🌸
We visited this place 2times for dinner.
Food and place is good. More space in side 👍👍 Price is very reasonable and good quality. And staff is nice also good system to press bell to order menu.
The overall experience is very good, BUT!!!
The service is very slow. We needed almost 30 min just to be served. There is plenty of space to eat (tables) but can not handle the clean-up phase.
On the bright side food is absolutely amazing! Even the speed of the food comjng out of the kitchen once we managed to order was very quick.
We had duck, ribs, Mie goreng and one traditional meal and all were very good.
If they improve on the speed of the servers and maybe ask the boys in the bar to help them clean up, this could be easily 10/10.
Realistic rate 7.8/10

Indus Restaurant is a picturesque open-air dining spot offering a diverse range of local and international cuisine, all set against the stunning backdrop of Tjampuhan ridge and Mount Agung volcano. The restaurant boasts exquisite decor with hand-carved columns, terrazzo floors, and teak furniture. Renowned chefs Janet Deneefe and Adam Liston have curated an innovative menu that includes classic pork gyoza and a unique East-meets-West croissant sando with pandan ice cream.
Beautiful restaurant with stunning views and delicious food. It’s pricey but excellent quality. The char grilled chicken was incredible with sweet corn purée. The staff was friendly and nice. The somas were good too but needed a bit more spice. Highly recommend for a special occasion or just delicious Balinese food.
Samantha T — Google review
Not a bad spot, nice view of the volcano! The bread as pictured was amazing. Could have had a loaf for dinner. The duck was interesting. Very sweet almost candied. The sauce was even sweeter and to be honest I have had better. But also had worse… The staff was great, super friendly and attentive. The coffee latte was also on par.
Went for late lunch as a solo traveller and had a GREAT experience. Super good service, amazing view and delicious food. Snapper Curry was full of flavor and the Chocolate Mousse reminded me of the one they made at home. Recommended for a date night or nice lunch when in Ubud.
Dining at Indus Restaurant in Ubud was nothing short of perfect. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt enchanting – an elegant setting overlooking the lush green jungle valley, where the natural beauty of Ubud blends seamlessly with the refined interior design. The open-air concept creates a serene and romantic ambiance, ideal for both intimate dinners and relaxed gatherings.
The food was truly outstanding. Every dish I tried reflected a harmonious balance between traditional Indonesian flavors and modern culinary creativity. The ingredients tasted fresh and thoughtfully combined, with careful attention to presentation. The seafood in particular was remarkable – perfectly seasoned, tender, and infused with authentic spices that elevated the entire dining experience. The vegetarian options were equally impressive, showcasing the chef’s ability to cater to diverse preferences without compromising on taste or quality.
Service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff were warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring that every detail was taken care of. Their professionalism added a personal touch, making me feel not just like a guest, but genuinely welcomed.
Overall, Indus Restaurant exceeded all expectations. With its breathtaking views, superb cuisine, and flawless service, it is easily one of the best dining experiences in Ubud – a place I would return to without hesitation.
Indus delivery not just great food (and cocktails) but also a stunning view out over an impressive, deep and expansive tree-lined gully. I was there with a group of 20, which they were able to accommodate easily. (We had pre-ordered our meals though.) We also made good use of the 3 for 2 happy hour cocktail list.
You have to go up and down 2 lots of large steps at the entrance, so access would be difficult if you're unstable on your feet.
My wife and I visited Indus last night and were treated to a menu which reflects both traditional Balinese cuisine as well as innovative and modern dishes bursting with freshness and flavour. Service was fantastic - attentive but not too invasive. Cocktails were amazing and our selection of dishes did not disappoint. The Balinese tapas was a great way to start our meal, a taste of local flavours to share, beautifully presented, fresh and tasty. The fish in banana leaves, a favourite from past visits, is back on the menu. Don't miss this one - the barramundi is juicy and tender and the spice mix is simply out of this world - your taste buds will love you for the experience!! The cauliflower fritters was also a stand out entree choice. And of course who could resist the famous lime tart to finish off a night of beautiful food under the full moon. We will be back. We'll done Indus.
View was amazing, from the front you don’t suspect how beautiful it is inside. Food was delicious and so were all the cocktails, we went for happy hour and the price was great. All the staff were so lovely and service was good the whole time even when they were really busy.
The food was good and the atmosphere is great. Really nice views. The staff is really nice - a shout out to Antara who was serving us!

Barbecue restaurant
Naughty Nuri's Ubud is a lively and charming spot known for its Indonesian-style BBQ and inviting terrace. Since 1995, this establishment has been a popular destination, drawing in crowds with its mouthwatering ribs and flavorful martinis. The small grill at the front of the warung fills the air with enticing aromas as various meats sizzle to perfection.
My sister said this is the OG Nuri’s in Bali. Fair to say the pork ribs are LIT 🔥
Tender, juicy, combined with their sauce (free on the table) is a 9 out of 10.
You may complete the ribs with chips (potato wedges) or mashed potatoes, both of which are perfectly suited.
Mbok-mbok who serves us are so kind and treats us nicely.
Another thing to mind if you want to try more various menus you should come at lunch.
Would definitely come again.

Got suggested to come here by the locals for having the best bbq pork ribs. The food instantly smells good the moment we got out of the car. We ordered the pork ribs, skewers, mi goreng vegetarian, chicken soup and fried banana. The food were overall good. My wife and I thought it would make a good daily hangout food spot. The seasoning and the sauce were great. However, we had to knock it down a point because the pork quality wasn’t as good. Also, the pork were on the overcooked side. Come here for the flavor but don’t expect quality.
The pork ribs only have one size which is too much for a solo dinner. I decided to order the pork skewers instead which is good. It’s flavor is almost the same as how we do it back home so it’s a good reminder of Filipino food. The pineapple with the pork was weird though.
My tour driver recommended this restaurant as this is the original Naughty Nuri’s, those at Seminyak and others which display make pink cute piglets shatter around the frontage, that are the franchise.
I prefer franchise Naughty Nuri because they’re grilled pork ribs is the best in Bali! You have give the same sauce but other dishes the franchise add in is excellent match.
So this restaurant have smoke problem, the BBQ is right infront the restaurant causing the wind that your staff fan towards the restaurant and I just showered but I smell bad after dinner.
All staffs are very nice and friendly.
I hope my next trip back, you could have a better BBQ area with no smoke fan into restaurant. Suggest also add suckling pig and roasted pork crispy skin.

We had a great time dining at Naughty Nuri’s in Ubud — the place has a rustic, laid-back vibe that feels more like a local warung than a polished restaurant, which adds to its charm. The pork ribs were the highlight: well-seasoned and flavorful, though they could have been a touch more tender to truly fall off the bone. The sambal sauce was excellent — spicy with a satisfying kick that really elevates the meal.
We also tried the beef burger, which was massive and pretty decent overall. Portions are generous, and for the quality and taste, it definitely feels like good value for money. A solid spot to visit if you’re craving hearty, smoky BBQ-style food with an unpretentious vibe.

The BBQ pork spare ribs are heavenly over here in Bali. There's a few spots that specialise in it but one of the most acclaimed is the OG location of Naughty Nuri's in Ubud, a short drive away from the town centre.
You'll know you're in the right spot when you see clouds of BBQ smoke filling up the air on the street-side. It's a small Warung but it gets crowded pretty quickly as the sun sets.
Get the pork spare ribs. That's what they're known for, and it's pretty bloody good. And don't bother with anything else on the menu LOL, we tried a few but the pork spare ribs definitely hit the best. Just get a few more servings of it if you're hungry. Only $15 AUD for a full rack!
I did visit this place 2 years agai and came back again cause the rib was very impressive 👍🔥 same as my first visit, I brought some friends to try the ribs and haha they all loved it like 2 years ago !!! Worth it to try again even the place is very far from my hotel !! Recommend the ribs with beer, Yummmm!
So good we went there early before it gets busy, Nasi goreng was delicious, rib was perfect, it was a shame we couldn’t try bbq pork as we were full 🥲 shouldn’t have drank beer so we could have pork 😏

For day 5, these 3 places should be enough to fill your day with something exciting to do in Ubud. Start the day with Aloha Ubud Swing and make your way through the city to get to Kajeng Rice Field. This should take about 6 hours of your day.

Aloha Ubud Swing

Theme park
Aloha Ubud Swing is a must-visit destination in Bali for photography enthusiasts. It features beautifully adorned swings surrounded by lush plants and flowers, set against the picturesque backdrop of Tegallalang rice fields and Coffee Luwak Plantation. This unique experience offers plenty of opportunities to capture stunning pictures for your social media feeds and travel albums.
I had a truly wonderful experience yesterday at Aloha Swing!
From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly and clearly explained all the available packages. The 5-swing package costs 400K IDR, dress rental is 250K, and the photographer service is 200K.
At first, I didn’t think I’d need the photographer, since my husband was taking pictures with a professional camera – and honestly, the photos turned out great! But in the end, I still decided to get the official photos as well, and I’m so glad I did – they were absolutely stunning. The option to add the photo package later is such a smart idea!
Even if you don’t book the photo package in advance, the photographer still takes photos of you and gives you posing tips to make sure you look your best – so you’re guaranteed to have amazing shots no matter what.
They offer dresses with long sleeves and sleeveless ones in beautiful colors. They adjust the dress for you so that, even if it’s a bit big, it fits and looks perfect in the photos.
We arrived around 9:30 AM and there was no crowd at all. We waited no more than 10 minutes.
Everyone working there was incredibly kind, cheerful, and professional.
I highly recommend visiting Aloha Swing – it’s an experience you won’t forget!

We had to stand in the line for so long to take the swing. Not worth it to be very honest. We went to U fun field and it was much better and no wait either. The staff was courteous but everything was mid. The view was nit that great either. The dresses available for rent were mid too. The dresses were all the same and not very clean. The changing areas weren’t that private either. They don’t let you try the dresses before you pay for them the rent for dresses was way too much too.
The place is very clean, and the parking area is exceptionally spacious.
The view of the lush forest is beautiful, and the swing area as well as the photo spots are complete.
All the staff members are very friendly, and the photos taken by the staff are also of good quality.
The price is very affordable considering the beautiful scenery offered.
Flying high above the jungle, rice fields, and valleys on the famous Bali Swing was an unforgettable thrill
They offer swing packages at different heights, private transfers, or even additional activities to make the day richer. You’ll also find dress rentals and professional photographers ready to capture that perfect “flying” shot — a memory you’ll treasure forever
I booked 400k package, for dress 250k and photography 200k. Photographers did a decent work. They instructed how to pose . Lovely. I loved the pictures. Queue management was good too. An Indian couple tried to jump off the queue in front of me, they were so rude. I was waiting in front of them in the queue, still they were so loud and always disrespectful.
Well I guess you know what to expect when going to a super touristy place, but all these little extra side charges are just unnecessary. 400k IDR for the entry fee if you use the swing. But if you think you can join to do the pictures for free you are wrong, extra 50k IDR for joining as photographer or use their service for another 200k IDR. Dressing up? Another 200k IDR. Thinking you can walk around in the garden after paying 400k IDR? You are wrong, each part costs extra. Also, you get rushed through it, don't do this, don't do that. If you want that picture be ready to spend and don't go if above mentioned bothers you! Btw, there is 1000 such slides in Bali!
The place was really crowded. We got some nice photos, but it wasn’t actually fun. It felt like it’s just made for taking pictures, not for enjoying the experience.
Prices are shown in the photos.
Also, they’re the ones who do the photography and charge you for it — they inform you about this beforehand.
But honestly, without their photos, you don’t really get much benefit. You have to let them take your pictures and pay for it.
It was a great experience taking photos at the various swings with my family. We visited in the evening on a weekday, so it wasn’t crowded, which made it even more enjoyable. The view was beautiful, and the service provided was excellent. Also they provide photos soft copies with extra cost. A lovely spot for families to relax and capture some nice memories! 🌅📸

A Life-Changing Experience at Pyramids of Chi
Attending the ancient sound healing session at Pyramids of Chi was one of the most powerful and transformative experiences I’ve ever had. It truly marked a milestone in my personal healing journey.
The environment is beyond beautiful — serene, sacred, and deeply grounding. You can feel the intention and care in every detail. The facilitators are incredibly professional and present, holding space with such wisdom and compassion.
I left feeling lighter, more connected, and truly grateful. This place is a gift. If you’re on a journey of healing, expansion, or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, I wholeheartedly recommend experiencing this sanctuary.

✨ A Sacred Oasis in Ubud – Pyramids of Chi ✨
Yesterday I had the privilege of joining a sound healing session here, and it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. From the very first moment, I felt a sense of calm and sacredness surrounding the place. The atmosphere itself seems to invite you to breathe deeper, to slow down, and to simply be.
The facilitator held the space with such grace and attentiveness — every sound, every pause, every detail felt intentional. The way the instruments were played created waves of vibration that touched something far beyond the physical. I could feel layers of tension melting away, and what remained was stillness, clarity, and lightness.
What really stood out for me was how cared for and supported I felt throughout the journey — from the comfort of the mats and pillows to the serene energy in the pyramid itself. After the session, I wandered slowly through the gardens, soaking in the beauty of the place, and realized that this isn’t just a venue — it’s a true sanctuary for the soul.
I left feeling renewed, deeply connected, and profoundly grateful. This was not just an event, but a milestone in my healing journey. I know I will return again, because Pyramids of Chi is one of those rare places that leaves a lasting imprint on your heart.
🌿 Thank you for creating such a space of magic and transformation.
Alex from Perth
Just an honest review because I’ve seen a lot of positive reviews, and I don’t really get why.
I’d like to think that I’m a pretty spiritual person. I’m open to anything really, so my expectation for this place was high. I love the whole pyramid concept, Its really nice, but everything was really disappointing.
The class started 15 mins late. The pyramid itself was smaller than I thought. A lot of people in a small space. I was almost touching the person next to me. I also was very disappointed that they made it a whole tourist happening. Big groups of tourist were in the class laughing and talking while the session had started and the guide was talking. That messed up the whole experience for me.
The guide was nice, had a calming voice but it was hard to understand what he was saying. The soundbath itself was nice, the acoustic in that place was very good. But I feel like they should make two different classes; one for the annoying tourist that are not spiritual at all and just want to see what it is and one for the other people that are spiritual and take soundbaths a bit more serious (like myself).
I feel like that would make the experience way more enjoyable for everyone really.
Yesterday, I experienced the sound healing session here, and it was truly incredible, one of the most profound and beautiful moments of my journey in Ubud. I felt warmly welcomed and gently guided throughout the entire experience.
The facilitator led us with such presence, care, and professionalism. His attentiveness to every detail—from the energy of the space to each participant's comfort —created a safe and deeply nurturing atmosphere. I could feel how thoughtfully the session was designed, not just in the arrangement of the instruments, but in the entire flow of the journey.
After the session, I felt deeply relaxed and centered. The mats and pillows provided were exceptionally comfortable, something that might seem small, but it made a huge difference in allowing me to fully let go.
The grounds themselves are absolutely stunning. I took time before and after the session to wander through the garden, breathe in the beauty, and soak up the peaceful surroundings. It’s the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave.
I’m already planning my return to this magical place. Thank you!
I joined the sound healing session at Pyramids of Chi in Ubud, and it was such a wonderful experience. The location is absolutely beautiful: surrounded by lush gardens and peaceful rice fields, it has an incredible atmosphere that instantly makes you feel calm and relaxed. The setting itself is stunning, and the energy of the place is very soothing.
The sound healing class was amazing, a truly unique and calming experience in one of the pyramids that left me feeling centered and refreshed. The teacher/ meditation guide was very kind and explained everything carefully before the session which made it even a nicer experience. I would definitely love to come back and experience it again. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect in a beautiful environment.
Truly divine, connected, sacred place made of love and for love. This is one of the kind ! I have visited many energetic, healing sacred places, and this one really vivrates love and higher frequencies. The sacred geometry and architecture makes part of it too. I have come twice first for a ancient sound healing which was super powerful and healing. Second time was for kundalini meditation with Maitreya Prema which was easy, so pure and powerful. I could experience for the first time the crown chakra opening and seing the sweet divine light inside the head, it was so tangible, so kind and blissfull. I feel you grateful
I visited this place for a sound healing session, and although the location and territory are beautiful, the experience wasn’t what I expected. I arrived early and was told to wait, but no one informed me when the session started. I asked several times, and only at 7:05 I was told it had already begun. So I ended up entering last, even though I was one of the first to arrive.
I fell asleep right at the beginning and woke up at the end, so I’m not sure how effective it was for me. Later, I tried a sound-bowl massage elsewhere, where you can actually feel the vibrations on your body, and I liked that much more. This experience is probably worth trying once to see if it fits you.
Not the first time came to Pyramids of Chi & I love every corner of it , the nature and everything! I've met Anita, and from the very first moment I felt so welcome with her. She has this super warm and calm energy, but also she’s really funny in such a nice way😀 it made me feel at home right away. We talked a lot and I felt I could trust her, like she was really listening to me. She suggested I try some different sessions, and I’m so glad I did. I started with one, then the next day I came back for Scalar Healing again because I just loved being around the scalar energy and her. She has such a beautiful way of making you feel safe and supported, while also keeping it light and easy with her humor. The scalar session made me soo light and happy emotionally! My body loving it and felt sooo alive after🥹
In the end I also tried LSV, but honestly what made my whole experience so special was Anita herself. She is not only a wonderful listener, but she truly makes me feel like I'm belong here. I’ll always remember for the time I shared with her at Pyramids of Chi. Definitely can't wait for for the next session❤️
Thank you pyramid of chi!

Embark on a serene adventure at Kajeng Rice Field, where the lush greenery and tranquil atmosphere provide a perfect escape from Ubud's bustling city life. This picturesque walking path meanders through working rice paddies, originally designed for farmers but now enjoyed by travelers seeking peace and natural beauty. The loop walk is easily accessible, branching off from the main street of Ubud and offering stunning views of both Kajeng Rice Fields and Subak Kuwuk Manis Rice Fields.
A beautiful place with a unique atmosphere.
A touch of Bali 💚
Walking along this path lifts your spirits, calms you, and makes you reflect… will I come back?
From time to time, you can spot farmers working in the fields or planting and harvesting rice, which further enhances the atmosphere of this place.
It's worth a visit.

It’s a beautiful trail through rice fields on both sides.
It can be thought of as a continuation of the sweet orange trial, but the scenery is not as good in my opinion.
The road changes from stone to mud as you progress through the trail and it gets quite narrow with a big fall to the side so being careful is important.
Much better than the Tegagalang rice fields. Less visitors at the fields create a more authentic and calm atmosphere. The way to that beautiful attraction is a bit busy, because there are a lot of tourist shops where you can buy all the things nobody really needs. Anyway it is absolutely worth it to go there.
Vey calming experience to walk around the rice fields. Kids got to know how rice fields look like and greenery around was adding to overall experience. Local people were also very charming and welcoming. Kids and women can also walk till sunset without any fear. Light rain showers made the outing even more enjoyable. Full marks to local farmers to accepting visitors with open arms and making place accessible. Way to Bali.
Nice walk. A few places to stop for food and drinks along the way. Unassuming entrance alongside the art gallery takes you to the Sweet Orange walk which joins up to the Kajeng Rice Field.
Beautiful walk. Feels like you’re far from Ubud but really only 5 minute walk. Lovely time exploring the rice fields & paths. Stunning
Come up this way for a wander through the fields. A few little places to stop for food along the way, or a drink should you feel the need. Cheeky views over the rice fields; a decent way to knock off a half hour or so.
Great short walk around the rice fields. Lots of small shops along the way if food or drinks are wanted. There are areas of the of the path that are paved with cement slabs that are personally designed by possible donations maybe. Anyway it's a nice touch. The loop is about an hour walk is not stopping. There is a section of the loop where the trail in not very good.

Indonesian restaurant
Nestled within the Kajeng Rice Field Walk in Ubud, Sweet Orange Warung offers a tranquil escape from the city's hustle and bustle. The menu may not be extensive, but their breakfast deals are highly recommended, featuring fresh fruit, coffee or tea, juice, toast, and eggs. This spot is the brainchild of Putu and Nyoman who aim to serve affordable yet delicious Ubudian cuisine with a unique twist.
Sweet Orange Warung was hands down the best place we had Indonesian food – not just in Ubud, but in all of Indonesia! The vibe is amazing – authentic, peaceful, and surrounded by rice fields, which makes the whole experience even more special.
The place is very clean, the food is incredibly tasty, and everything feels fresh and homemade.
Highly recommended for anyone who values quality and authenticity in their meals!

I really enjoyed my visit to Sweet Orange Warung. It’s a super cozy restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and a beautiful location right in the rice fields. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.
I ordered the satay with red rice, which was delicious and nicely presented. The portion could have been a bit larger, but the flavors more than made up for it. The prices are also very reasonable, making it great value for money.
Overall, Sweet Orange Warung is a charming spot with tasty food, kind staff, and a stunning setting — definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.
Sweet Orange Warung in the rice fields of Ubud is a charming place to pause and refresh after a walk. I’ve been here a few times before and always loved the unique setting with the fun coconut faces and beautiful rice field scenery. On this visit, I felt the service wasn’t quite as warm as in the past, which was a little disappointing as I had brought my family to share the experience. Still, the atmosphere is special, and it remains a lovely stop for anyone wanting to enjoy the views and relax in the middle of nature
What a sweet little warung! This place is about a 10 minute walk off the main road by Ubud Palace, and the path can be tricky to find, but it truly transported us to another world. It was crazy to think we were in the heart of Ubud among the peaceful rice fields and local homes. The walk also featured some personalized pavers, which were so nice to read.
The food/smoothies were great, and the vibe was very peaceful.
Oh my god!!! This place is AMAZING, sorrounded by green fields and palms.
I haven't sleep there but i just had lunch and the food was really good as well, all served wirh fresh vegetables from the garden.
I would reccomend it also if you want to stop just for a drink, i had the best fresh juice ever (mango, dragon fruit and mint)!!!
It's an escape from the noise of the city!!!
Highly reccomend it!!
The location of this restaurant is really frustrating. I searched for an hour and a half according to the map and couldn't find the right way around. They changed the address but the map didn't change it. This is really bad, especially when I was almost exhausted. I was very unhappy looking for it. Later, I contacted the staff through Whatsapp but no one came to pick me up. I searched for more than 40 minutes according to their description and finally found it when it was completely dark. The dishes were not as amazing as the online reviews said. It's not because I was unhappy because I searched for a long time, but because the taste was really average and the price was high. Overall, it didn't feel worth it. Don't trusted easy those internet stuffs
The Sweet Orange Warung is located on the Sweet Orange trail just outside of Ubud and sits in beautiful green rice fields. The food is great and very reasonably priced. Definitely try the fresh juices. Atmosphere is very peaceful with good views and uncrowded but plentiful seating options. Would highly recommend a visit.
We stopped here for a few drinks during the Orange walk. Very nice restaurant with variety of juices. We did not have any food but what we saw passing by looked really good. Staff friendly, a tad slow. The cakes the advertised were all sold out, so dont get your hopes up if you visit in the afternoon (LOL)
Review needs info on the rooms, which Incant provide, so not rated.

Nestled in the heart of Ubud, Jungle Fish Bali is a unique jungle bar and pool located at Chapung Sebali Resort & Spa. The eccentric design combines vibrant Scandi style with traditional Balinese elements, creating a quirky and stylish atmosphere. The main attraction is the 115 feet-long infinity pool, offering breathtaking views of the lush Osh River Valley.
We had a wonderful experience at Jungle Fish Restaurant. The setting is absolutely beautiful—lush, relaxing, and perfect for a tropical dining experience. The staff were all very friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome right away.
On our first night, we tried the Barramundi fish, which was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We enjoyed it so much that we came back the next night! This time, we had the Nasi Goreng and a pasta dish—both delicious and satisfying in their own unique way.
Everything from the ambiance to the service and food quality made our time at Jungle Fish memorable. Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for a great spot to dine!

Such a wonderful retreat for the well being!
Excellent service from the time we booked online til the time we left.
Mela and the Jungle Fish staff are extremely welcoming, polite and professional.
Very close to the city centre but far enough to be in a total place of tranquility!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Must-Visit in Bali!
Jungle Fish is hands down one of the most incredible experiences we had in Bali! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like VIPs. Their service was impeccable – attentive, friendly, and always smiling.
We booked a suspended daybed with prepaid credit, and what an experience it was! We enjoyed a delicious lunch right on our daybed, then relaxed on the pool loungers – the perfect combination. The atmosphere was elevated by a talented DJ spinning amazing afro house beats all afternoon. Pure bliss!
Here’s a pro tip: We didn’t use our entire prepaid amount, so we gave the difference as a tip to the incredible staff. They were so grateful, and honestly, they deserved every bit of it for the exceptional service. I highly encourage everyone to do the same if you find yourself in this situation – these hardworking people truly make your experience unforgettable.
The suspended daybed, the stunning infinity pool with its lounge area, the music, the food, and above all, THE STAFF – everything was perfection.
Don’t think twice – book your daybed at Jungle Fish. You won’t regret it! 🌴✨
Love this place! Second time back, could easily spend another half day here lazing around the pool while eating delicious food and great cocktails. Check out the gift store too, has some lovely jewellery.
Relaxation at Its Best ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had an amazing time relaxing by the pool — the surrounding nature and peaceful atmosphere are truly refreshing. The food is excellent with plenty of options, and the cocktails are served with great style. The shallow lounging area in the pool is a brilliant touch. The staff are kind, attentive, and always ready to help. A perfect place to unwind!
We loved our day at Jungle Fish :) service was lovely, food was delicious and all the amenities were clean and comfortable! Will definitely come back for a longer stay :)
Beautiful day in the jungle and rice fields, massive big infinity pool surrounded by sundeck chairs, bar and lounges but the food has unfortunately a big let down! Music just ok during the day.
For those who like nature vibes and chilling, this is a great spot. We got the day pass and it was worth it. The pool and its view are amazing. Their food is excellent as well. We also went to The Edge, but I prefer Jungle Fish' food and vibe. Great job to their whole team as we had a highly memorable experience.
