Located on Jalan Sri Wedari, slightly out of view of mainstream traffic, Hujan Locale houses diners in a classic modern Bali building. The gentle, vintage-style ambiance – cool ceramic tiles, lots of wooden shutters, rattan and marble tables – makes it an ideal place for a casual meal. 

Hujan Locale invites you to discover Indonesia through ingredients and flavours, serving diners with Indonesian daily meals and a range of street foods using the freshest Bali produce. Must-try includes beef sate padang, sate klatak of lamb, tuna betel leaf, steamed ikan bumbu kuning and the spicy oseng-oseng, then you can finish your meal with salted caramel popcorn ice cream and ginger lemongrass creme brulee. 

Combining authentic local flavours and a comfortable setting, Hujan Locale is probably Ubud’s best Indonesian restaurant.
