Hujan Locale

Dining at Hujan Locale was a truly wonderful experience! I ordered their steamed fish wrapped in banana leaves and bamboo, served with yellow rice and vegetables — and it was absolutely divine! Every element on the plate was full of flavor, beautifully balanced, and clearly crafted with care. The presentation was as impressive as the taste — a real treat for both the eyes and the palate 😋 The service was top-notch from start to finish. The staff were very attentive and helpful — they assisted me with choosing a dish and checked in throughout the meal to make sure everything was perfect. Their kindness and professionalism really stood out. If you’re in Ubud and looking for a special dinner experience with excellent food and thoughtful service, I highly recommend Hujan Locale. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Hujan Locale is amazing. The venue is gorgeous and stepping in feels like you’re stepping into another era. The staff are professional and nice - delivering service with a smile. The food is fantastic - each meal providing a different range of flavours and textures. Each dish tastier than the next. Overall we have a GREAT experience and will return. It was on the pricier end of the spectrum but worth every cent - a nice treat!

Hujan Locale has never disappointed me in all the years I’ve been coming here — and after such a long time away, it’s only gotten better. The yellow steamed fish was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious, and the pork batagor was brilliant. As an Indonesian, seeing and tasting this creative twist on a familiar dish felt so refreshing. The rendang was a touch dry, but the flavor was spot on. The only downside was the parking situation. When I asked where I could park my motorbike, I was told to go all the way to Ubud center and then come back to the restaurant — even though I was already there and ready to dine. I think this is something worth addressing, perhaps by coordinating with your neighbors, so guests can enjoy the experience from the moment they arrive.

In our 2 stay last year and this year, this was the best restaurant we've found in Ubud and Bali in general. Welcoming staff. 🙏 Can be a bit pricey but not overpriced like other places where the food isn't good by the way. Here you'll have great food (at least if you try our recommandations).. 👍 Special mention for the beef rendang, the scallop (starter) and the dessert mango 🥭- coco 🥥 in granite style. Disappointed by the tuna (starter) though, which was lacking a bit of taste and some 'peps' . wish the tuna had come with a sauce similar to the one that came with the scallop... Also, people complaining in the comments are just people without any taste who enjoy Coca, Fries 🍟, and Burgers 🍔/ pizza 🍕 🤦

Hujan Locale: Modern Balinese Cuisine in a Beautiful Setting, with Minor Comfort Flaws From the talented chef behind Mamasan—one of our favorites—Hujan Locale offers Balinese food with a modern twist in a setting that's both vibrant and rustic, yet elegant enough for a date night. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and attentive staff, and the sight (and smell) of charcoal-grilled dishes immediately whetted our appetites. We dined on the second floor, where we sampled a selection of their standout offerings. The fried bebek (duck) was a highlight: fragrant, crispy on the outside, with the richness of the duck meat balanced perfectly by the spicy, sour flavors of the accompanying chilies—we especially loved the addition of mango, which brought freshness and brightness to the dish. The tuna was also excellent—skillfully cooked, seared on the outside but still raw inside—and paired with a delicate mix of herbs and spices that gave the dish a refined Balinese touch. We were less impressed by the octopus. While the texture was tender and juicy, we couldn't detect the starfruit flavor mentioned in the description, and the accompanying sauce tasted more like a standard curry rather than something uniquely Balinese. The main downside of the evening was the heat on the second floor. Despite having a couple of air-conditioning units, the open windows made the dining area uncomfortably hot, and it was obvious that many guests were sweating throughout their meals. Ironically, the toilets were freezing cold, with the air-conditioning turned up to the maximum—making it an uncomfortable transition between spaces. Overall, Hujan Locale offers flavorful, creative Balinese dishes in a gorgeous space, but we hope they can better manage the indoor temperature to make the dining experience as comfortable as the food is delicious.

We enjoyed an excellent meal here, interesting takes on Indonesian and Balinese dishes and all very delicious :) Dumplings and the corn were stand outs. Though didn’t have mocktails on the menu they were able to mix up virgin versions of some cocktails. We made a reservation and that seemed a good idea because tables were pretty full.

Probably the best meal I had during my trip. The beef rendang was delicious. The desserts were superb. All the flavours were on point. Highly recommend!!!

We reserve two seats for lunch. The Rendang is damn good, spices used are perfect. Lobster dumplings is just normal. Surprisingly the soft shell crab with salted eggs is rather good! Will come here again for the Rendang, one of the best we ever had in Bali.
