Casa Luna Ubud: A Bali Dining Icon on Jalan Raya Ubud Since 1992

In the heart of Jalan Raya Ubud, a few minutes' walk from Ubud Palace and the Art Market, Casa Luna has been firing up its kitchen since 1992. The restaurant belongs to Janet DeNeefe — the woman behind the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival and the Ubud Food Festival — and blends hand-ground Balinese spice pastes with a Mediterranean touch, inside a high-ceilinged colonial-tropical room that opens onto a garden.

Signature Dishes Worth Ordering

• Nasi campur, Casa Luna style: a plate of Balinese sides with house-made sambal and bumbu.
• Duck dishes, including the smoked duck feast for two that guests praise most often.
• Pork-belly nasi goreng and Balinese-style paella if you want something off the usual path.
• The legendary lime tart, plus breads and pastries from Honeymoon Bakery on Jalan Bisma — often sold out by late afternoon.
• Generous vegetarian and vegan choices: mezze, salads, spiced vegetables and pumpkin ravioli.

Atmosphere and the Best Time to Come

Mornings between 08.00 and 10.00 are the calmest: Indonesian coffee pulled by trained baristas, warm croissants, and Jalan Raya Ubud still quiet. Lunch from 12.00 to 14.00 is busiest, while evenings turn warm and low-lit, with live music on selected nights.

More Than a Restaurant

• Casa Luna Cooking School runs Balinese cooking classes in the garden of Honeymoon Guesthouse, usually starting with an early market visit.
• Breads, cakes and coffee can be packed to go for a morning walk along the Campuhan Ridge.
