Guidebook for Ubud
Food Scene
Probably the most beautiful, relaxed place to savour Bali's most famous dish, bebek tutu (smoked duck). The whole menu here is almost entirely dedicated to the humble duck, but the speciality, smoked duck, has to be ordered 24 hours in advance. There is a main restaurant building, but it is fun to reserve one of the traditional bamboo pondoks, raised huts with a long table and cushions, looking out over the rice fields.

The Yoga Barn
Jalan Sukma KesumaThe Yoga Barn is by far the biggest and most popular yoga studio in Ubud. It’s more of a resort than a regular studio with five yoga spaces, guest accommodation, healthy restaurant, juice bar, and treatment room. There are yoga teacher trainings, workshops, events, and film nights. The best thing about The Yoga Barn is the huge variety of yoga and meditation classes available—up to 15 a day.
Radiantly Alive is another popular studio with a central location. There are three yoga rooms and 5-7 classes a day including interesting options like arm balance, fly high yoga, and roll and release (self-massage using balls). They also offer teacher training.

You won’t believe Taksu is in the centre of Ubud—it’s like entering another world, a jungle temple far away from the traffic noise and souvenir shops. The yoga studio overlooks a trickling stream in a huge spa complex that features two restaurants including Fresh which serves beautiful raw vegan cuisine. In the high season there are three or four classes a day, but in the low season this can be reduced to one.
