Dinner & Moto Taxi

Ubud is a food lover’s paradise, offering everything from traditional Balinese flavors to world-class plant-based cuisine. For a taste of authentic Indonesian fare, head to Ibu Oka Warung for its legendary babi guling (Balinese roast suckling pig) or visit Bebek Bengil (Dirty Duck Diner), a long-standing favorite for crispy duck served in a lush garden setting. Warung Biah Biah is another must-visit for sampling a variety of local dishes like tempe manis, lawar, and sambal matah in a cozy, affordable atmosphere.

For elevated dining, Locavore is Ubud’s culinary crown jewel. This internationally acclaimed restaurant delivers modern Indonesian tasting menus using locally sourced ingredients, and it’s best booked well in advance. If you're looking for fine dining with a view, Mozaic offers a blend of French technique and Indonesian flavor in a beautiful open-air garden space. Meanwhile, Room4Dessert, led by former El Bulli pastry chef Will Goldfarb, provides a one-of-a-kind dessert tasting experience surrounded by tropical gardens.

Ubud is also known for its vibrant health food scene. Cafés like Zest, perched on a hill with jungle views, serve creative vegan and raw dishes with Balinese flair. Sayuri Healing Food is a community favorite for its healing elixirs, raw cakes, and tranquil vibe. Alchemy—Bali’s first raw vegan café—is beloved for its build-your-own salad bar, smoothies, and raw chocolate treats. For brunch or a hearty breakfast, Watercress and Milk & Madu offer Western favorites with an island twist.

Coffee lovers should stop by Seniman Coffee Studio, a pioneer in Bali’s specialty coffee movement, known for its innovative brewing and in-house roastery. Whether you're in the mood for local comfort food, artistic fine dining, or nutrient-rich wellness cuisine, Ubud’s culinary landscape is diverse, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying.
