Book NowAbout The Elephant
Perched over the Campuhan Ridge, this airy open-air escape serves plant-based comfort food against direct volcano and rainforest views. Longtime regulars drop by to duck Ubud traffic, unwind with a journal, or split burnt sage gnocchi that wins over devout carnivores. The kitchen balances hearty Italian plates—like tofu bolognese served with garlic bread—against steaming bowls of laksa and crisp mushroom dumplings. Fresh dragonfruit smoothies, espresso martinis, and slices of spiced carrot cake keep table turnover unhurried while the light shifts across the valley.
- Ridge and Volcano Views: An elevated open-air pavilion looks across the lush Campuhan Ridge, with clear morning views extending toward Mount Batur.
- Vegetarian Comfort Classics: Plant-based comfort cooking spans pan-fried dumplings and fragrant laksa alongside burnt sage gnocchi and rich tofu bolognese.
- Unhurried Valley Retreat: A quiet, breezy setting set back from central congestion makes it an easy spot for reading, journaling, or solo lunches.

Plant-Based Comfort Food That Satisfies Omnivores
Handmade burnt sage gnocchi and rich pasta dishes consistently convince plant-based diners and dedicated meat eaters alike.
While my fiancé and I are both meat eaters, we absolutely loved our vegetarian food. That fact that he- a meat loving Italian - loved the Bolognese is a big deal!
Ashley Vincent Diverse, Craveable Global Comfort Specialties
The kitchen delivers deeply flavorful Pan-Asian staples, from savory dumplings to rich comforting laksa soup.
I go especially for their Laksa which is a delight in flavor and texture. I've found my go-to spot any time I get a craving for this delicious soup.

LEONA CHEN A Calming Escape from Ubud Traffic
The peaceful terrace provides immediate relief from town congestion while remaining easily accessible.
Perfect location, far from the noise and traffic of ubud center but close enough to spend hours to reach home if you’re living in ubud center. The view is breathtaking.
