Ubud, Bali — My Favorite Restaurants & Cafes
When you're in Ubud, it's hard to miss the wonderful selection of restaurants and cafes. They range from authentic warungs serving up traditional Balinese cuisine to modern fusion restaurants with a contemporary Indonesian flair. However, there's something about authentic restaurants and cafes that just feels good. Maybe it's the feeling of being truly cared for by hospitable people, or perhaps it's the sense of connection to something real and genuine, or a view that makes us feel at home. From healthy cafes with great views to modern Indonesian restaurants imbued with a sense of style, these are some of my favorite eateries in Ubud, Bali.
