UBUD’S BEST RESTAURANTS
1. L’Osteria Pizza e Cucina Ubud – Amazing Italian Pizza
If you are in Ubud and in search of some of the best Pizza or Pasta, you will have to check out L’Osteria Pizza e Cucina. It is one of my favorite place to grab a pie and glass of wine while working or spending time with friends. As someone who is originally from New York and who makes it a priority to try pizza in every country, I can honestly say the pizza at L’Osteria is worth trying. The staff are amazing, the food is superb and the location is right in the heart of Ubud. I highly recommend booking a reservation if you are planning on going here for dinner because they most likely will have a line.

2. Suka Espresso [Ubud] – Best Western Breakfast
Along with being an avid Pizza lover, I am also a lover of amazing Western breakfast spots. Suka Espresso is one of those places that you will go to again and again while you are visiting Ubud and never get tired of it. This is by far one of the best places for breakfast and brunch you will find in Ubud. The food is absolutely amazing, the atmosphere is great for solo travelers, groups or even for digital nomads who are looking for a spot with great food and drink options and excellent wifi speeds. Definitely try one of the salad bowls and the berry pancakes. You will be pleasantly shocked!

3. Layana Warung – Authentic Indonesian Food (Hidden Gem)
Have you ever run across those places that are so great that makes you not want to share it with anyone but at the same time you want to share it with everyone? Well, Layana Warung is that place for me! This hidden gem in Ubud is a little paradise in its own right. Not only will you find amazing Authentic Indonesian food here, but you will probably have the best lunch and/or dinner views in all of Ubud. The location of this Warung (Local Indonesian Restaurant) is extremely hidden and deceiving once you find it. As you walk into the top floor of this restaurant, you will feel like you are in some hole-in-the-wall place, but as you begin to descend the stairs to the bottom floor, you will be in awe of what you see. This is definitely a MUST while visiting Ubud, Bali. Local prices, local food, killer views!

4. Pison, Ubud – Nice Rice-field View in the City
Pison Ubud is a great cafe to go to for breakfast and brunch. It is located in the center of Ubud right next to the popular Monkey Forest. If you are looking for an amazing place for food with friends, while enjoying a nice ambience with beautiful views in Ubud, this is your spot. Although you are in the center of Ubud, the rice-field view and the design of this place makes you feel like you are further away in a smaller town. High-speed wifi for those of you needing a solid place to work from.

Okay okay, I get it! Why would you come to Bali, Indonesia and order a burger? Well, if you travel for longterm like I do and you miss an AUTHENTIC American-Style Hamburger, then you will understand why this is on the list. I would compare the quality of this burger similar to a SmashBurger, Five Guys or Shake Shack Burger. Definitely get the Cheese Fondu Burger option with fries and extra sauce! This is my go to place when I am missing The States!

6. La Baracca Bali (Ubud) – Delicious Italian Restaurant
La Baracca is an amazing Italian restaurant with some of the best pizza and pasta I’ve had in Bali. There are a few locations around Bali that you can choose from. The owner is from Italy and is a very welcoming owner. I spent some time in Italy right before coming to Bali, and I can say that I was extremely impressed with the quality of the food here.
