Galle Club
Discover Galle Club, Bali’s first Sri Lankan restaurant, bringing the flavours of Sri Lanka and Coastal India to the Ubud dining scene.

Or, try one of their signature cocktails, all of which feature an iconic Sri Lankan and South Indian ingredient, like their infamous Puli Cocktail for a refreshing yet zesty drink.
With both appetizers and sharing-styled dishes on the menu, you have to try their Hot Butter Halloumi, Lamb Shank Curry, or a selection of their plant-based and vegan dishes like their Eggplant Curry and Roast Vegetable Uttapam. If you’re looking for a wine pairing for your dish, we recommended their Gavi di Gavi white with the Snapper Polichattu, or try their full-bodied Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon with one of their meat-based curries.

Sun Sun Warung
The Sun Sun Warung is a very popular place and the queuing system is not always good at allocating seats. It’s best to get there early and beat the queues if you can.
However, it’s on our best restaurants in Ubud list for a good reason and that’s because it’s the healthiest warung we’ve ever eaten in.
Try the Nasi Campur Vegetarian and you’ll soon be finding reasons to come back again and again. Yum.

This fine dining experience is all about Indian food in a very contemporary style.
Their platters are designed on a pan-regional basis, so there’s something from all Indian styles of cookery to enjoy.
The vegetarian Aloo Tikki we tried was very tasty indeed, and the Lamb Varuval was, perhaps, the best Indian food we’ve ever had outside of India.

Mozaic has topped many of the island’s best restaurants lists for more than two decades now and the food is renowned for its intelligence and sophistication.
Like all the best restaurants in the world, they let the tasting menus take centre stage here and the question really boils down to “seasonals” vs “botanicals”?

Hujan Locale
This creation of Will Meyrick (Bali’s best-known street food chef) is very much worth a visit and here you will find the fusion of casual home-cooked dishes blended with Asian fine dining.
The only challenge we have at Hujan Local is that the menu features so many great options that choosing what we want can take quite a while.
FOMO never tasted as good as this anywhere else.

Pica
Pica’s relaxed ambiance is exactly what we want from a South American eatery with such authentic flavours.
You’re in for an unforgettable dining experience and we recommend going with small plate starters and sharing them with the table.
We’d also keep that sharing experience up for the main event and the Peruvian Paella is definitely not something to selfishly hog to yourself.

Bacari
Bacari is as much a dining experience as it is a restaurant and we love that they’ve designed each dish to pair up with the wines on their wine list (all sold by the glass).
There are only 22 seats available here and booking in advance is mandatory if you want to be seated.
The chicken skewers are heavenly and we love to pair them with the ice-cold cocktail creations from their mixologist.

The Ibu Susu Bar is only a tiny place but it has a big heart. You come here for finger food, bar snacks and awesome dinners.
Their pork ribs are very tasty but we can’t stop raving about their soft-shell crab burgers which just blew us away!
Pair them with a salted caramel espresso martini and you have the makings of a great night out at the Ibu Susu Bar.

Portofino
The next stop on our culinary adventure is the inviting atmosphere of the Portofino restaurant where you will find contemporary Mediterranean numbers galore.
The prawn and clam linguine is a personal favourite, the hits of lemon, anchovies and parmigiana are just too good to ignore.
The wine list is very good too and you can find all your Italian faves on it.

Moksa
The dining experience is wholly plant-based and they have a lot of archipelago-inspired cuisine as well as their own creations.
The tempeh “ribs” are a real stand out and we’ve found that even carnivores will trade a plate of BBQ pork spare ribs for them.
Skip the steamed rice though and aim for the chocolate and passion fruit panna cotta dessert, instead.

This excellent fine dining experience brings together a combination of steakhouse, grill and European to deliver a sublime range of dishes.
The beef carpaccio and grilled octopus make for excellent starters, the steaks are amazing (and come with a choice of steak knife) and the salted caramel creme brulee was just about the perfect dessert.
Chef Wayan is at the “root” (AKAR means root) of all the techniques and gustatory brilliance of this fantastic eatery. It’s gorgeous inside too.

This romantic and elegant place has all the steaks that you need to have an amazing feed.

This is another vegan place but there’s nothing boring or staid about the plant-based offerings at Zest.
Try the cacao fondant which is one of the sweetest and gooiest treats that we’ve ever encountered.

This is a vegan restaurant with a big following in Ubud, that’s probably because their prices are very reasonable and the portions are huge.
