About Warung Monkey

Step off the Subak Sok Wayah walking trail for open-air Balinese cooking and sunset drinks overlooking active rice paddies. Tucked far away from Ubud traffic, this breezy pavilion pairs wide terrace views with serene back-garden tables perched directly over a lily pond. Regulars gravitate toward the raised stilt huts for lunch or settle in at dusk when the sky turns orange across the fields. The kitchen turns out fragrant Nasi Kuning Campur served on banana leaves alongside satay skewers and fresh vegetable curries, accompanied by house-made drinks like the Monkey Hanky shaken with local arak.

  • Stilt Huts Over the Lily Pond: Raised open-air huts and tables set above a back-garden lotus pond provide a quiet perch away from the main path.
  • Arak Cocktails at Sunset: Signature sundowners feature local Balinese arak, including the citrusy Monkey Hanky served with purple potato chips.

Why Dine at Warung Monkey

Experience over-water lotus huts, artisan arak cocktails, and authentic Balinese dining along Ubud's tranquil rice paddies.

  • Over-Water Seating on the Lotus Pond

    Tucked away behind the main dining area, elevated wooden huts and secluded tables sit directly over ponds dotted with lotus leaves and lily pads.

    The back area on the lily pads is beyond amazing 🤩 if you are looking for something quite off the beaten path with great atmosphere vibe and food

  • Sunset Balinese Arak Cocktails

    The evening drink menu highlights Balinese palm spirit concoctions like the Monkey Hanky, paired with dusk views over the rice paddies.

    We washed it down with an amazing local cocktail with arak, apple juice and lemon called a Monkey Hanky.

  • Scenic Rest Stop on the Rice Field Walk

    Situated right along the scenic rice trail path, it serves as a natural stop to pause for morning breakfast or mid-day refreshments.

    We stopped in for breakfast along the route of our rice field walk.

  • Direct Views of Working Rice Fields

    Open-air tables look directly out across verdant working rice terraces, offering sights of ducks wandering the fields as you dine.

    And we got to eat it looking over a rice field watching ducks play.
