Why we picked it

An editorial choice based on facts the place publishes, not on a stay or a meal.

Murni’s Warung sits in Campuhan, by the bridge, on four open-air levels above the river. Its menu mixes Balinese and Indonesian dishes, such as tutu ayam, cooked for at least eight hours.

Because it is a piece of Ubud’s history still run by its founder fifty years on, with a menu that names its Balinese dishes instead of burying them in an international list. And because you can walk there from the centre.

Tips

  • The site’s pages give 10pm or 11pm for closing time: call ahead if you plan a late dinner.
  • The levels are linked by stairs: ask for a table at the top if steps are a problem.
  • The warung is at the start of the Campuhan Ridge walk: set off early and have lunch here on the way back.
