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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

FAQs
What Is The Main Street In Ubud For Restaurants?
There’s not so much, a main street in Ubud as there are three main streets and they are Jalan Raya Ubud, Jalan Monkey Forest and Jalan Hanoman.
These three streets are host to dozens of restaurants, bars and cafes and the small interconnecting streets and paths also have plenty of places to eat on them.
Ubud has a great wealth of restaurants and you won’t be short of choices anywhere in Central Ubud. Of course, once you’re out among the rice paddies, there will be fewer choices, but they will be every bit as good.
