Overlooking the Payangan rainforest in the lush countryside north of Ubud, this charming restaurant is one of Bali’s best-kept secrets. Part of boutique Samsara resort, it serves exceptional Balinese and Indonesian ‘heritage’ cuisine with modern execution. Dishes include Balinese bouillabaisse with local spices and seafood, and sambal be tongkol, a tuna salad with lemongrass and chilli. Tables are set along a dreamy outdoor balcony where Ella Fitzgerald tunes accompany the sounds of the resort’s own waterfall.
