Bali Ubud Restaurants
Delicat Restaurant: Ubud, Bali
I don’t get much of a chance to get up to Ubud as I am usually bypassing it on my way to other parts of the island, but when I do it is usually to Casa Luna or my all-time favourite, Kafe Batan Waru. Ubud is one of those places where you need a week or so to explore everything – the galleries, museums, coffee shops, and of course the restaurants and warungs. I was reading a restaurant review recently about a restaurant that has achieved great notoriety, the Delicat Restaurant.

Eating in Downtown Ubud
Ubud is the place to go if you are looking for relaxation with creatures comforts close at hand, plus the feel of a Balinese art village. For someone who enjoys food, Ubud will be a wonderful place to hang your hat for a while.

Warung Nasi Pak Sedan: Ubud Bali
Ika’s mother requested a visit to Ubud, for reasons I’ll get to later. Ubud is one of my favourite areas, because of the density of artists, great Balinese ceremonies, great places to eat and lovely scenery. On the way into Ubud I asked them where they wanted to eat. Ika has been to Ubud before and likes Casa Luna. They said they wanted nasi campur (mixed rice), which is harder than you’d imagine in Ubud. Downtown is loaded with restaurants, aimed at tourists. They often serve good food, but its a million miles away from the ‘point and get’ nasi campur shop. Ika remembered us passing a place before, and directed me to it. Located at the very southern end of Jl. Hanuman and around the corner, the Warung Nasi Pak Sedan, was busy with Balinese locals.

Exploring Bali by car
After getting back from the road trip to East Bali, I was frazzled as usual, after several hours of swinging an SUV through Balinese mountain roads and hairpin corners. As mentioned before, there are several factors that will affect every trip, anywhere in the world. Among these factors are number of people, weather, budget, mode of transport, time frame. In a sense I felt I was trying to ram a square peg through a round hole (hey, maybe I’m becoming Balinese!). We had a short time frame due to my web site commitments, people from a cold climate who need AC, 2 Indonesians, who’s diet is considerably different than other people in the group, and quite long periods in a car, due to traffic and the road system.

Casa Luna on a rainy afternoon in Bali
Bali has been steamy today, or least the part where I am. Arriving in Ubud, we were hoping for rain, to cool the place down. Sure enough, around 2pm it poured. Realizing this and wanting to crank out some articles, I ducked into Cassa Luna on Jl. Raya Ubud and sat out back, under the roof.

Cafe Lotus: Ubud Bali
Returning to downtown Ubud from Museum Blanco, we pulled over and parked across from Cafe Lotus, on Jl. Raya Ubud. This restaurant has the most amazing view. Pura Saraswati backs on to it and guests can sit under the elongated ‘bale’ structure and admire the temple across the lotus pond. This afternoon Ika ordered a strawberry lassi, her mother a strawberry milkshake, myself a small water and an arak madu. The bill was around 75,000rp, quite a bit more than lunch, but this is one of the choice spots in Ubud. All the drinks were good, the lassi was less sweet than the milkshake.

Casa Luna: Dessert & a drink in Ubud Bali
Sometimes in the afternoon, you get those short falls of energy, and a little boost is in order. Today while checking out the villages of Peliatan and Tegallalang, I felt like a small dessert was the ticket. Back in Ubud I knew just where to go. Casa Luna on Jl. Raya Ubud, has a dessert menu and does good arak madu’s. This afternoon I was well wrapped up, sporting a black polo-neck running shirt, long pants, helmet and gloves. I must of looked quite odd, climbing off the bike and heading to the top deck of Casa Luna for an arak madu and a lime tart, but that’s okay, I’m an odd guy.

Nomad : Ubud Bali
My choice for lunch today was Nomad on Jl. Raya Ubud. Why you might ask, am I continually taking my guests to western restaurants. There are a few reasons, which include, having a mixed group (men, woman, kid), the kid may not like Indonesian food, but will like a smoothie, Ubud has great food and elsewhere on the island, they may have to settle for simpler fare. Nomad is located on the same side of the road as Cafe Moka, they are one block apart. Seating in open air, inside and the staff are very nice. Our group ordered a burger, shrimp salad, chicken satay, myself ordering a tuna steak.

KAFE : Ubud Bali
My friends were getting hungry around noon today and I offered some alternatives. My final choice was KAFE, located on the lower section of Jl. Hanuman. “This place is a little bit of Eugene (Oregon),” I said, meaning the hippy / new age person would be drawn there.
