I read about Wayan's Café on internet bulletin boards while I was gathering information for this trip. The name came up very often as one of the best places to eat in Ubud, and that's an understatement. Aside from being one of the best restaurants in Ubud, the decor of this place is almost surreal. When you enter the "dining area", you are actually making your way through a forest, and the garden beds surround eating areas; some are on the floor with pillows, and others are Western style with caned chairs and tables. We chose the floor version as it looked so much more inviting. We had young servers tending to our needs; the food was served in beautiful porcelain containers or banana leaves. It was hard to concentrate on either the food or the atmosphere as both provided an overwhelming experience. They say that this is one of the oldest cafes in Ubud. It opened in 1977 by Wayan Kelepon as a small warung; in 1987 Wayan, the owner of this cafe, decided to expand her growing business and she is reputed enough to have earned reviews in major guide books, the Jakarta Post, Garuda Inflight magazine, Cathay Pacific Discovery magazine, Food and Wine, and Bon Appetit. Her "Death By Chocolate" cake has a following. We went native and had the warm black rice with coconut milk, and that was divine. You can see in the photos how beautiful the presentation is. You MUST stop and eat here if you are in Ubud.
