Only a short drive of motorcycle ride away from COMO Uma Ubud, here's our a curated selection of local spots that capture the spirit of Ubud — authentic, comforting and deeply connected to local flavours.
Nasi Ayam Mek Juwel
For a true “eat like locals” experience, Nasi Ayam Mek Juwel is exactly the kind of place visitors hope to stumble upon in Ubud: humble, straightforward and deeply rooted in Balinese flavour. The focus is nasi campur ayam, with rice, shredded chicken, urap, sambal, egg, sate lilit and rich, spicy accompaniments. It opens daily from 8am to 5pm, according to its official Instagram.
Order the nasi ayam special and let the sambal do the talking. It is best for lunch, especially if you want something local, affordable and full of character.
Warung Pulau Kelapa
Warung Pulau Kelapa is a lovely Indonesian restaurant in Sanggingan, walking distance from COMO Uma Ubud, known for regional dishes from across the archipelago and a leafy garden setting.
Recommended dishes include beef rendang, ayam bakar bumbu rujak, sate ayam Madura, tahu gejrot and tempe mendoan. Come with family or guests who want authentic Indonesian food in a comfortable setting.
Babi Guling Pande Egi
Babi Guling Pande Egi is for those willing to travel slightly outside central Ubud for one of Bali’s most beloved dishes. The atmosphere is lively, local and unapologetically traditional.
Order the nasi babi guling special, with crispy skin, pork, lawar, sambal and soup. It is rich, spicy and deeply satisfying.
Warung Gauri
Warung Gauri is a small, atmospheric warung off Bisma, loved for affordable Indonesian food and a peaceful rice-paddy feel.
Order the nasi campur, gado-gado, satay, mie goreng or nasi goreng. It is best for a relaxed lunch or casual dinner when you want local flavours without the crowds.
