Restaurants and cafes in Ubud with rice field views

You may have seen on social media how Bali has become increasingly busy, with crowded streets, endless traffic jams, and certain areas feeling more packed than ever. But sometimes, we forget that Bali is so much more than just one little corner of the island. Aside from the popular hotspots like Canggu, there are still plenty of places where you can slow down, be close to nature, and experience a more peaceful side of Bali.

Ubud is one of those places where you’ll find lush greenery, traditional Balinese charm, and those dreamy Eat Pray Love moments, all set against the backdrop of rice fields and jungle landscapes. But beyond its spiritual retreats and cultural experiences, Ubud has also grown into a vibrant destination with modern cafes, creative hangout spots, and beautiful restaurants offering everything from casual bites to luxurious dining experiences with infinity pools overlooking the rice terraces.

Whether you’re looking for a simple cup of coffee or a scenic lunch spot, Kata Bella team has put together a list of some of our favourite Ubud cafes and restaurants for you to explore on your next Bali holiday.

Where to Eat Indonesian Food in Bali: My Current Favourites

Where to eat Indonesian food in Bali. I enjoy all kinds of international cuisine, but being born Indonesian, I’ll always find myself coming back to Indonesian food for comfort, no matter where I am. There’s something grounding about it; the rich flavours, the familiarity, and the way it just feels like home in a way nothing else quite does. Here, I’ve put together a list of places I usually go to for my everyday Indonesian meals in Bali - nothing too fancy, but also not quite street food; somewhere in the middle where you can still get authentic, home-cooked-style flavours. I’ll be sharing more Indonesian-food related articles soon, including a babi guling list (suckling pig) and a selection of more elevated Indonesian dining experiences, but for now, here’s where to eat Indonesian food in Bali. You may also like this article: Bali on a Budget - Cheap Eats in Canggu for Under 100K Kuta, Legian, and Seminyak Warung Kolega Run by a lovely husband-and-wife team who are usually at the cashier, this local favourite is especially popular with nearby office workers during lunch. Like many traditional warungs, you'll find a display of pre-cooked dishes. While the menu features dishes from across Indonesia, most are prepared in the Javanese style - like their rendang (beef curry), it's sweeter rather than spicy. They also serve two of Indonesia's iconic soups: rawon (black beef soup), and soto ayam (chicken soup). Warung Kolega is perfect for when you're short on time but still want a proper home-style Indonesian meal. 📍 Location: Warung Kolega ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sat, 9am-8pm Image credit: Warung Kolega Instagram Warung Liku With just around 20K, you can get something filling, delicious, and quite healthy too. Their signature dish is ayam betutu, a Balinese spiced chicken, served in the form of nasi campur; rice and a selection of side dishes. The chicken is very aromatic, with a subtle wood-fire smokiness, and so tender it easily falls off the bone. 📍 Location: Warung Liku Nakula ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sun, 8am-3pm Image credit: Warung Liku's Instagram You may also like this article: Restaurants in Legian and Seminyak - Kata Bella's Picks 2026 Made's Warung They’re a true legend and an absolute must on this list, especially for those who have never been and are trying Indonesian food for the first time, before venturing into more local warungs and street food spots. I used to go often to the Kuta branch when I was little, and now I usually visit the Seminyak one. I still order the same favourite: half nasi goreng, half gado-gado (fried rice and Indonesian salad with peanut dressing) - simple, comforting, and always satisfying. 📍 Location: Made's Warung Seminyak ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sun, 10am-11.30pm Image credit: Made's Warung Instagram Waroeng Bernadette It's a great choice when you want a more refined Indonesian dining experience; the space is comfortable, the food presentation is nice, but the flavours stay authentic. The highlights for me are the beef rendang, the comforting sop buntut iga (beef rib soup), the classic sate ayam (chicken satay), and a warm bowl of bakso kuah (beef meatball soup) - all familiar dishes, done really well. 📍 Location: Waroeng Bernadette Seminyak ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sun, 11am-10pm Image credit: Waroeng Bernadette Instagram Canggu, Umalas, and Kerobokan RM. Aryani Their speciality is fish dishes, served either deep-fried or in sweet and sour soup. There are also side dishes like stir-fried bean sprouts, baby squid, prawns, my all-time favourite, otak-otak (fish cake) and many different types of sambal (chili paste). The restaurant itself has the kind of charm you’d find in Bali restaurants back in the 90s - nostalgic, and full of character. It’s best to visit RM Aryani in a group so you can order a variety of dishes and try a little bit of everything together. 📍 Location: RM. Aryani ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sun, 10am-10pm Image credit: RM. Aryani Instagram Dapoer Asia If you’re a traveller trying Indonesian food for the first time, this is a great place to start. The flavours are authentic enough for locals to enjoy, but not too heavy on herbs and spices, making it really approachable for first-timers - it’s good value too for a nice restaurant, not overpriced. They serve all the comforting dishes you’d expect from a home-cooked Indonesian meal, from nasi liwet (fragrant rice), soto ayam (Indonesian chicken soup), and sayur asem (sour soup) to sate ayam (chicken satay) and bakwan jagung (corn fritters). Make sure to save some room for their dessert drinks like es cincau (grass jelly drink) and es campur (mixed shaved ice). 📍 Location: Dapoer Asia ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sun, 10am-9.30pm Image credit: Dapoer Asia Instagram You may also like this article: My Little Canggu Restaurant List - Part 1 Ayam Kampung & Rawon Bu Ros I like to think that in Java, if a restaurant has a photo of the owner on the sign, it’s usually good - because most of the time, it really is! Haha. Their signature dish is rawon, a rich beef soup with a deep black broth originated from East Java, but their soto ayam and fried chicken are just as good and really comforting after a long day. It’s a very local spot, but I’ve started seeing more foreigners trying rawon there lately and actually enjoying it, which is really nice to see. Rawon is life! 📍 Location: Ayam Kampung & Rawon Bu Ros ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sun, 10am-10pm Image credit: Bu Ros Instagram Warung Sundari It’s a warung-style restaurant where the food is already pre-cooked, and you simply pick what you want from the display. There are so many options that, very often, I find it hard to choose. The menu rotates with Indonesian favourites, covering all kinds of proteins like fish, chicken, and beef, plus plenty of vegetables from beans and carrots to broccoli. They also mix it up with a few international dishes now and then, like chicken teriyaki or beef stew. 📍 Location: Warung Sundari ⏰ Opening Hours: Mon-Sat, 9am-7pm Image credit: Warung Sundari Google Page Hope this list helps you find a few comforting Indonesian food spots in Bali that you’ll keep coming back to, just like I do. Thank you for reading and until my next article!

Koyotake Ramen: A Comforting Homemade Ramen in Yogyakarta

“No more Instagram ads, please. I’m scared too many people will come,” laughs my dad, the man behind Koyotake Ramen, Yogyakarta. While most warung owners dream of bustling crowds, he prefers a steady stream of loyal customers who enjoy his homemade ramen. Tucked away in a quiey village in Bantul, Koyotake serves Japanese comfort food with heart – think rich Tori Paitan broth, savory Shoyu, and crispy gyozas. From Five-Star Kitchens to a Small Ramen Dream Back in the day, my dad worked in the fast-paced, always-hectic F&B department of various 5-star hotels. After years of juggling high-pressure environments, he decided to retire early in his 40s. His dream was simple: to run a small ramen shop like the ones he admires in Japanese travel documentaries. Small but mighty. Why ramen, though? And where did his love for Japanese food come from? To be honest - I’m not sure, haha! But after a few failed attempts (as all good stories go), he made that dream a reality. Koyotake Ramen's Tori Paitan - Creamy Chicken Broth Ramen in Yogyakarta You may also like this article: Pastries, Passion, and a Little Bit of Magic at Theo’s Wife Lois It all started in a food court in South Tangerang. At first, it struggled to attract customers, so he made the bold decision to close the outlet and reopen it at home. I thought it was a better idea - not only would he save on rent, but he’d also have more flexibility and time to rest. With his passion, my mum’s support as sous chef and logistics manager (seriously, who’s better at market shopping than the ibu?), and my contribution as the self-proclaimed marketing manager, the little house warung began to gain traction. They started with a simple menu; Tori Paitan and Shoyu ramen, and slowly expanded as the warung grew in popularity. Tan Tan Men, also a favourite menu among customers You may also like this article: Goolali Gelato Bar & Pâtisserie - Semarang’s Sweetest Escape Last year, my parents decided it was time to leave the hustle and bustle of city life and settle in a small village in Yogyakarta, where my mum originally comes from. Can’t blame them - city life can be overwhelming, especially at their age (honestly, even at mine). They reopened their ramen warung at their new house in Bantul, and it didn’t take long for them to regain popularity. One day, a well-known food blogger secretly stopped by, had dinner, and posted a Reel on Instagram. For weeks after, the warung was packed with people queuing for ramen, haha! Talk about a good problem to have, right? But now, they’ve settled into a nice rhythm, constant customers daily, not too crazy, just the right amount. So, thank you, Mr. Blogger, for bringing the unexpected blessings on my parents’ small business! If you ever find yourself in Yogyakarta and crave some home-cooked Japanese comfort food, make sure to visit Koyotake Ramen. They have added more on the menu, and don’t forget to try the gyozas! Must-try Dishes Tori Paitan Ramen: Creamy chicken broth, slow-cooked for 8 hours. Tan Tan Men: Spicy ground chicken ramen – a crowd favorite! Homemade Gyozas: Perfectly crispy, filled with juicy chicken. Visit Koyotake Ramen 📍 Address: Jl. Nitiprayan No.56, RT.02/RW.20, Jomegatan, Ngestiharjo, Kec. Kasihan, Kabupaten Bantul, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta 55182⏰ Open Tue-Sunday: 5 PM - 10 PM Ps. First person to guess what “Koyotake” means gets a free dinner on me! 😉

Bali Home Bakeries to Sweeten Your Celebrations: Updated List 2026

I’m all about supporting local bakeries, especially since I was once a home baker myself - though my baking career only lasted two years during the pandemic lol. That short stint gave me a real appreciation for how challenging it is to run a home bakery. You’re basically a one-person show, handling everything from taking orders and buying ingredients to the actual baking, packaging, and delivery. It’s a non-stop hustle, and knowing that, I make it a point to support small, emerging businesses whenever I can. In this article, I have collected my top favourite home bakeries that I think deserve a spotlight. Whether you’re planning a celebration or just looking for a sweet treat to brighten your day, these gems will not disappoint. So, let’s dive in and show some love to these talented bakers! Homie BunsBakeOvenLocale BakedFika & StoriesI Bake You EatLittle G Bu Toha You may also like this article: 5 Must-Visit Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas Homie Buns https://www.instagram.com/homiebuns They make breads ranging from simple shapes to adorable designs, with a variety of fillings like chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, salted caramel, as well as cupcakes and cookies. They even have a special birthday edition that comes with candles and a lovely ribbon-wrapped box. Now, they regularly create hampers for special occasions like Christmas, Eid al-Fitr, Chinese New Year, and Galungan, making them well worth checking out if you’re looking for a thoughtful gift for family and friends. Image credit: Homie Buns Instagram BakeOven https://www.instagram.com/bakeoven.id Their greatest hit is the cheesetart. And while the original is always a classic, my personal encore goes to the lemon tart, John Lemon, especially when enjoyed half-frozen! Trust me on this little trick and thank me later! 😉 And their menu is a symphony of puns: Edam Levine (yes, it features Edam cheese, lol), and Ayumi Hamachaki, a delightful choice for matcha lovers - highly recommended. You can order via Gojek, or catch them live at La Brisa Market every Sunday. Image credit: BakeOven Instagram You may also like this article: Goolali Gelato Bar & Pâtisserie: Semarang’s Sweetest Escape Locale Baked https://www.instagram.com/localebaked When you think of scones, think of Locale Baked. They offer everything from classic plain scones to unique flavours like lemon glazed, salted caramel butter (their top three bestsellers), earl grey, double chocolate, and even savoury options like garlic butter herb and cheddar tomato basil. A friend recommended them, so I decided to order for another friend's birthday - and she absolutely loved it! If you go for the classic plain scones, they come with cream and jam. Besides scones, they also whip up choux, pound cakes, éclairs, and other special-edition sweet treats. Image credit: Locale Baked Instagram Fika & Stories https://www.instagram.com/fika_and_stories This one is a newcomer to Bali’s home-bakery scene, but it’s already getting plenty of attention for its delicious cinnamon buns. What makes it special is its focus on Swedish treats - fika is a Swedish tradition of enjoying coffee, usually with something sweet. Staying true to its name, they bake small batches of Swedish favourites like biskvi, a chewy almond base topped with buttercream and dipped in chocolate; kolasnittar, Sweden’s beloved cookies with crisp edges and a chewy centre; and thumbprint cookies, buttery shortbread filled with strawberry jam. Image credit: Fika & Stories Instagram I Bake You Eat https://www.instagram.com/i_bakeyoueat I ordered their carrot cake just for fun - no special occasion. But since they make whole cakes in a mini size (10cm diameter), it was the perfect little treat! They deserve the highest compliment an Asian can give a cake: NOT...TOO....SWEET!!! hehe. Besides carrot cake, they also make salted caramel coffee cake, matcha dark chocolate cake, and Dutch boterkoek. These cakes also come in a sharing size (18cm). Image credit: I Bake You Eat Instagram Little G https://www.instagram.com/littleghomebake They make whole cakes and I discovered Little G because so many of my friends have ordered from them over the years - so I figured, they must be good, right? One day, in true last-minute fashion (because I’m so organised like that, lol), I messaged them to order a birthday cake for my husband. Despite the short notice, they responded with a positive "can-do" attitude, accepted my order, and delivered exactly what I asked for. The birthday boy absolutely loved it, and as a serious cake lover, his review is trustworthy. I can’t say the same for myself since I don’t eat cake, but with his honest feedback and the rave reviews from my cake-loving friends, I wholeheartedly recommend Little G for your special occasions - just try to be more organised than me 😉 Image credit: Little G Instagram You may also like this article: Brunch in Bali - Rediscovering Legian through Farmer’s Daughter Bu Toha https://www.instagram.com/butoha_ As a true Indo kid, I can’t leave out jajan pasar (various Indonesian traditional snacks, commonly found in markets), because they are a staple for special occasions. A few times, I’ve even sent jajan pasar as a birthday gift for friends. These traditional Indonesian treats aren’t just delicious and nostalgic; they also make for a beautiful and thoughtful present. My go-to place is Bu Toha. They offer stress-free packages if you want everything pre-arranged, but if you’re feeling picky, you can customise your own tampah (woven bamboo tray) hamper by ordering items individually (just keep in mind there’s a minimum order for each). They also make Balinese jajan pasar, which is perfect for friends celebrating Balinese ceremonies. Image credit: Bu Toha Instagram At the end of the day, what makes home bakeries special isn’t just the cakes or the cookies - it’s the heart behind them. Each order supports someone’s passion, creativity, and countless hours spent perfecting their craft, often from their own kitchen. So whether you’re celebrating something big or simply craving a little sweetness, choosing a local home bakery is always a good idea. And if you discover your new favourite homemade treats along the way, share it with me! I will happily try it and feature it in this article.
