Warung Pulau Kelapa | Cheap and unique Indonesian restaurant In Ubud

Warung Pualu kelapa is the new restaurant in Ubud, Bali. The restaurant is designed with Traditional Javanese style with the texture of old javanese carving around the walls. This restaurant is very unique and antique, I visited this restaurant last night, and quite surprise with the decoration that they made inside the restaurant, They use pure Javanese traditional furniture with classic photos as wall decoration around the wooden walls and a few wooden statues standing in the front of the entrance. Check out my photos and short interview with the manager in Warung Pulau Kelapa.


This is the entrance of the restaurant, there is a little garden with small path in the front of the restaurant. The name board of the restaurant is made by the local artist using 100% wood as the material.

All furnitures in the restaurant are made of wood with a few wall hangings that give the impression of a classic building plus the wooden walls that surrounds the room which really makes this place very antique.

The price of the foods and drinks is very cheap, they provide various Indonesian foods and even some of the menu is only available at certain places in Indonesia. like "Pecel Blitar" and "Rujak Petis" with price Rp.12.000 or it's about USD1.3 per portion.

I ordered various menu to test the foods like Pecel Blitar, Rujak Petis, Nasi campur, Soto Ayam kampung, Tahu Petis, Tempe penyet, and Nasi Lodeh.

The Soto ayam kampung is good enough but a little bit tasteless, so I put a little salts and peppers to make my own taste.

The Nasi Campur, Nasi Lodeh, Tahu Petis are very good, it just the same taste as the original, and the Tempe penyet was very impressive, they mix delicious east Java style of "sambal" (Chili Sauce) with fried Tempe in the top of the sambal.

Indonesian foods is familiar with spicy taste, but in this restaurant they reduce the spicy taste so the other peoples who do not like spicy can also enjoy these dishes. But for you who like to enjoy the dishes with original Indonesian taste, they have an extra sambal that can be order separately to add more spicy flavor into your foods.
