Ubudians have been keeping Tulen a close-guarded secret lest the crowds start pouring in, but we reckon something so good won’t remain a secret long. Set in the rippling rice paddies of Sri Widari just a short drive from the Ubud Royal Palace, Tulen is all about refined simplicity in a spectacular setting. The funky multi-level space has open sides that overlook lush greenery and allow breezes to flow in. On the menu you’ll find elevated Balinese classics like tuna sambal matah and roasted pork belly, as well as international creations like handmade feta and spinach ravioli, braised beef tripe, and vegan pad thai.
