Book NowAbout Liap Liap
On Ubud's busy Jalan Monkey Forest, Liap Liap explores the Indonesian archipelago over open embers and charcoal. Arrivals begin with a complimentary spiced welcome pour and house bites before the kitchen gets to work. The cooking ranges far beyond standard resort fare: rich Borneo crab curry meant for sharing, bamboo chicken, and a signature seafood liwet paella cooked over an opor rice base. Past the front hearth, guests drift toward the quiet pool garden out back or head upstairs for evening live music, ending with sweet bowls of red rice bubur.
- Complimentary Welcome Ritual: Every table receives a complimentary spiced welcome drink and starter snack upon sitting down.
- Regional Archipelagic Fire: The kitchen traverses the archipelago with signatures like Borneo crab curry, bamboo chicken, and seafood liwet paella.
- Connected Multi-Level Space: An open-kitchen front dining room transitions directly into a hidden pool garden and upstairs live music lounge.
