Cafes
Anomali
One of the best locations in Ubud town centre this cafe serves Ubud’s Best Coffee 2023. There are so many variations for coffee now but the friendly barista’s at Anomali seem to get every order just right! Milk available includes oat, dairy and coconut. Second to the coffee is the croissants – plain, chocolate, almond and raisin are fresh every morning. We rate the croissants Ubuds Top Croissants 2023.
A stop at Anomali is recommended after visiting Ubud Market. Either early morning after visiting the fresh fruit, vegetables and flower market or anytime during the day when you need a coffee hit and bite to eat. A good range of seating options, outside yet set back from the street, inside ground floor airconditioned or upstairs open air. Not to be forgotten the food is good too ! For breakfast smoothie bowl, hot oats, burrata eggs, hot oats, chia pudding and pancakes are recommended.

With such a large menu of delicious food, juices, mocktails and cocktails what to order is always a difficult choice. Mango Dragonfruit or Green Iguana smoothie is a must try.

Merlins Magic
Ubud is renowned for its out of the box dining venues so it makes perfect sense that Merlins Magic is located in the town. Upon arrival you know Merlins is different ! The lobby is a magic shop selling trinkets, guide books, pills and potions. Not sure what you need to become a magical being, then turn the page of the magicians guide to find your recommended potion. Continue upstairs to the impressive dining room resembling the wizards private chamber with a giant glass dome over the large wood carved table that seems to be a merge of Balinese and Medieval styles.
The food impresses right from the start with the golden turmeric focaccia served as welcome bread with 3 butters, sambal matah, herb and black garlic. The cassava rendang molen was a Balinese twist on a empanada . The tortellini was melt in your mouth fresh and guilt free since it was combined with a light moringa anagata cheese sauce. Our ‘ must try ‘ recommendation is the Canang dessert. Carefully sculpted to resemble a Balinese offering known as canang the flavours were a taste explosion. Accompanied by Malbec gelato (yes Malbec the wine !) we had never seen or tasted a dessert quite like this !

If you are a foodie then Moziac definitely needs to be on your list. Mozaic was Ubud’s first fine dining restaurant and has survived 20 years. The restaurant is indoor with AC and a lovely ambiance. The staff are young, personable and do their best to assist with a complicated menu There is 6 or 8 courses that can include wine pairing with both vegetarian and meat choices. Moziac always pushes the creativity to the next level. We wouldn’t do the menu justice to try and describe, you just need to try!.
