Ubud

Indonesian restaurants in Ubud

  1. A

    Biah Biah

    A tidy little warung with some nice dining along walker-friendly Jl Goutama. A varied menu of Indo classics that are artfully served atop banana leaves. The 'romantic dinner' for two may be stretching it; think 'I like you' dinner.

    Lala & Lili

    Fields of rice stretch away like waves of green from this simple cafe set on a path on a plateau. The menu is a familiar mix of Indo and sandwiches. Many local expat artists hang out here while others living in the numerous nearby cheap rentals spring for delivery.

    Laughing Buddha

    More stylish than your average warung, this casual cafe serves good Indonesian food aimed at the discriminating Western palate. Get a table at a bench in front and enjoy the passing Monkey Forest parade.

    Warung Aja

    A real find amid the often fair-to-middlin' food scene of Monkey Forest Rd, this little bamboo hut is set well back from the clogged traffic. Get there early because the groovy young staff only cook so much and when stuff runs out, that's it.

    Warung Enak

    A breezy two-level restaurant with a winsome logo, Enak specialises in Indonesian food. The rijstafel (array of Indonesian dishes) is justifiably popular or you can go modest by choosing from the long menu of satays and variations on mie goreng.

    Yellow Flower Cafe

    New Age Indonesian right up in Penestanan along a little path through the rice fields. Nearby views look out over Ubud but you'll be happier concentrating on organic mains like a good nasi campur (rice with side dishes) and rice pancakes. Snackers will delight in the good coffees, cakes and smoothies.

    Masakan Padang

    The bright-orange exterior at this Padang-style eatery – where you choose from the plates on display – hints at the fresh and spicy food within.

  8. Indus Restaurant

    Perched on a ridge above the Sungai Cerik Valley, this branch of the Casa Luna empire combine excellent river and rice terrace views with creative Indonesian fare.

    Bebek Bengil

    This pretty, rambling place is popular for one reason: its crispy Balinese duck, which is marinated for 36 hours in spices and then fried up hot. The ducks on the few surviving rice fields outside the open-air dining pavilions look worried.

  10. Fly Café

    Buzz in to this popular place with a silly name for good meals of Western and Indonesian food. A good coffee bar and very comfortable wicker seats pull in loungers and talkers.

    Dewa Warung

    When it rains, the tin roof sounds like a tap-dance convention and the bare lightbulbs sway in the breeze. A little garden surrounds tables a few steps above the road where diners tuck into plates of sizzling fresh Indo fare.

    Kafe Batan Waru

    This ever-popular cafe has an expanded outdoor terrace. It serves consistently excellent Indonesian food, stylishly presented. The mie goreng noodles are made fresh daily – a noteworthy detail given the number of places that substitute pot noodles. Western dishes include sandwiches and salads.

    Bumbu Bali

    A good place for Balinese food in the heart of Ubud. The menu features dishes such as lawar (green bean salad), ayam pelalah (spicy shredded chicken salad) and sambal goreng udang (prawns in a tangy coconut-milk sauce). Like your food? You can also learn to cook it.

  15. Lamak

    Artful presentations from the eclectic menu set the mood at this excellent eatery. The large kitchen is open and each day there are specials of Indonesian food that are not found on your average menu. Long wine list.

    Casa Luna

    Janet de Neefe of cooking school and writers' festival fame runs this ever-popular Indonesian-focused restaurant (the seafood satay, yum!), which also has a delicious range of bakery items. Recent renovations have softened the edges; live jazz some nights.
