Cooking in Ubud is cheating, slightly: the best vegetables on the island grow twenty minutes from your villa, and the morning market in the centre is one of my favourite places on earth at 6 a.m. Ubud bookings skew green — retreat groups, long wellness stays, vegan tables that want real cooking rather than salad theatre — and the jungle-edge dinner tables here are the most beautiful we set anywhere in Bali.
What Ubud Books Most
Retreat organisers book multi-day healthy & dietary menus programs — vegan and vegetarian menus that never repeat across a week, for groups up to 30 with event catering for opening-night feasts. Couples in the rice-field villas around Penestanan and Tegallalang book romantic dinner for two evenings with the jungle as the backdrop. And Ubud is the natural home of our Balinese cooking class: the market visit here is the best version of it. Long-stay residents run on weekly meal prep like everywhere else — just with more turmeric.
The Best Produce in Bali
Ubud bookings are shopped at Ubud market and the organic farms of the surrounding hills — the same suppliers behind the town's famous plant-based restaurants (mapped in our markets guide). We cover central Ubud, Penestanan, Sayan, Tegallalang and the villa valleys between; the drive from the coast means we like 48 hours' notice for big dinners, though smaller bookings move faster. Sanur is the nearest coastal area we pair with for split stays.
