Book NowAbout Watercress Ubud
Watercress delivers effortless all-day dining on Monkey Forest Road, moving from wholesome morning spreads to candlelit dinners with live music. Two levels of breezy, open-air seating let you watch street life drift past beneath woven pendant lamps. Regulars turn up early for the Benny Brunch package—pairing eggs benedict with coconut chia pudding and cold drinks—or grab plates of mushroom scramble alongside pulled espresso. By dusk, the kitchen turns to wild mushroom fettuccine, crisp chicken schnitzel, and tender lamb shoulder. Acoustic sets kick off around sunset, providing a mellow soundtrack while monkeys occasionally swing along the overhead wires outside.
- Benny Brunch Package: A tiered morning set pairing eggs benedict with coconut chia pudding, fresh fruit, and drinks.
- Sunset Live Music: Evening acoustic sets and singers set a relaxed, intimate dinner tone on the open-air deck.
- Breezy Bi-Level Setting: Two levels of open-air seating framed by hanging greenery, street-facing views, and woven lamps.
