Local food tip

If you want a real taste of Bali with a crowd-pleasing twist, head to Ubud early in the day. A lot of top rated restaurants open for breakfast and lunch, giving you a chance to enjoy fresh ingredients before the midday heat hits. Visiting before noon also helps avoid the usual afternoon rush and occasional rain showers that can pop up between December and March. One spot that locals rave about has excellent nasi campur and a calm garden setting, getting praised by both visitors and Bali residents alike. Simple timings like this can help you get the best experience without the noise or waiting.
