Best of Ubud

Ubud’s dining scene is a serious matter. Our local electorate has spoken, presenting their definitive take on where to eat and drink in this bustling cultural heartland. This is not a guide of suggestions; it is the final word, a head-to-head mandate from those who know these streets intimately. Forget the usual accolades. Here, reputation is forged by direct comparison, by the collective palate of Bali’s most discerning residents.

The top contenders have separated themselves from the pack. Locavore NXT leads the charge with its innovative Indonesian cuisine. Mozaic follows, delivering elegant fine dining with a French heritage and a sophisticated cocktail bar. Room4Dessert, true to its name, offers exceptional fine dining desserts in an intimate setting. For Japanese fare, Toro Dining stands out, a busy mainstay serving sushi and mains in an open-air area. Syrco BASÈ provides delicious food and cocktails, equally suitable for lunch or dinner. The Blue Door Bar also makes its mark, known for expertly crafted cocktails and lively dining.
