About Cupit BBQ

Tucked into Penestanan, this rustic open-air smokehouse serves serious wood-fired pork ribs and chicken right along a jungle ravine. Charcoal smoke greets you from the front grill before you even grab a bench. Meat lovers take refuge here for massive racks slathered in sticky, spiced barbecue sauce alongside crisp sweet potato fries and ice-cold Bintang. By day, diners look out over the river bank to watch resident water monitor lizards sunbathe and polish off leftover rib bones tossed below.

  • Open wood-fire grill: Pork ribs and chicken are smoked over open wood and charcoal flames right at the entrance.
  • Ravine lizard viewing: Daytime diners can watch wild water monitor lizards prowling the river ravine below the deck.
  • Hearty comfort fare: Substantial portions of ribs, wings, and skewers offer a carnivore escape from Ubud’s plant-heavy menus.

  • Tender, Generously Portioned Barbecue

    Generous full racks and chicken wings emerge with deep smoky char, falling off the bone while staying tender and juicy.

    We both had the pork ribs with chips and they were delicious, tender and juicy.

    Guests seated along the open-air ravine terrace can watch large river water monitor lizards gather on the river banks below.

    While waiting, we even spotted some giant lizards, which was pretty funny and added to the experience.

  • Carnivore Haven in Ubud

    Cupit BBQ serves as an unpretentious refuge for hearty meat and flame in Penestanan, an area dominated by plant-based cafes.

    A meat lovers haven in an otherwise very green and vegan/vegetarian area.

  • Wholesome Reset for Serious Cravings

    Smoky wood-fired barbecue provides an honest, hearty feast to satisfy intense cravings before cleanses or long travel days.

    These was a mazing and the perfect way to start a 3 day alchemy juice cleanse.

    I had a large ribs, side of fries, and a coconut crepe that almost stole the show (I say almost because I love ribs).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you see monitor lizards while dining?

Yes. The restaurant sits above a natural ravine and stream where wild water monitor lizards gather. Daytime or lunch visits offer the best visibility to watch them from a safe distance, and guests often toss their leftover rib bones down for the lizards to eat.

What are the specialty dishes to order?

Cupit BBQ specializes in pork ribs and chicken smoked and chargrilled over an open wood and charcoal fire right at the front grill. Guests particularly recommend the full rack of pork ribs, barbecue chicken skewers, wings, and house-made barbecue sauce.

Should you bring mosquito repellent?

Because of the open-air jungle and riverside setting, mosquitoes and bugs can be prevalent, especially in the evening. Guests strongly advise bringing insect repellent or asking staff for mosquito spray upon arrival.

Is parking available at the venue?

Yes. Free parking is available directly in front of the venue, including both free parking lot and free street parking options.
