http://balilight12.wixsite.com/bali-travel-info

Visiting Bali without going to Ubud is like you don’t go to Bali. As a tourist in Bali, Ubud become an attraction not for the beaches or bars, but Ubud is famous for its arts, music, architecture, dance, spiritual retreat, temples, and most iconic landscapes. I lived in Ubud for almost 3 years on and off. Anytime I visit Bali, I have never skipped Ubud. The weather is very pleasant compare to southern Bali (it’s cooler) because its higher elevation. In fact, Ubud is not a traditional Balinese rural village, nor is it typical of modern Bali. I try to say Ubud is a charming Balinese town with anything you need for your vacation. Ubud has many reasonable restaurants with spectacular views of rice field landscapes, temples, rivers or waterfalls. In Ubud you can find accommodation around $15- $300 with beautiful Balinese architecture and always with beautiful tropical garden.

Here are some my favorite restaurants in Ubud Bali:

1.Babi Guling Ibu Oka

Babi guling, or suckling pig, is one of Bali’s most famed dishes in Bali. You can find Babi Guling almost anywhere in Bali, but Ibu Oka is the most famed spot on the island of Bali. The pig is stuffed and infused with a spicy concoction typically Balinese spices (turmeric, coriander seeds, lemongrass, black pepper and garlic) after seasoned the pig, it’s ready to be roasted (traditionally spit-roasted).

4. Cafe Lotus Ubud

Located on Ubud’s bustling Main Road (Jalan Raya), between the Ubud Palace and Museum Puri Lukisan, Cafe Lotus has been an institution ever since it opened its doors in 1983.

The setting of Cafe Lotus is unique – even by Balinese standards: a large Lotus pond framed by ancient lowering Jepun or Plumeria trees and, the most recent addition, an exhibit of several dozens of blooming orchid plants. One of Ubud’s main temples, Pura Taman Kemuda Saraswati, completes the scenery; the ambience is simply magical – especially during twilight hours or dining time.

The menu has also grown, adding Indonesian and Western choices, but the foundation remains Balinese, with local standards like ayam betutu (spicy roast chicken), babi guling (roast pork), and black rice pudding, plus rarer specialties such as smoked curry duck. It's great for lunch and dinner. I come here a lot and bring my friends.
