Evenings Among Rice Fields at Laka Leke
Setting Behind the Monkey Forest
A short ride from Ubud’s main stretch brings you to Jl. Nyuh Bojog, where Laka Leke sits quietly behind the Sacred Monkey Forest. The open-air layout, thatched-roof pavilions and views over green paddy fields make it feel far from town noise. Some diners even spot monkeys wandering the nearby fields.
Plates With Local Identity
Balinese signatures headline the menu – crispy bebek (fried duck), Nasi Campur, stuffed chicken – alongside options like grilled snapper, lemon chicken, and European dishes. Several visitors singled out the bebek goreng for its crunch and juicy meat, served with a well-balanced sauce. Others enjoyed rice platters for two, though some noted repeated items and felt the 21% service charge should be clearer.
When Stories and Dances Arrive
On certain nights, traditional Balinese dance performances take place in the garden, adding rhythm to the meal. Several diners described enjoying sunset views over the fields while the stage lit up. At quieter lunch hours, the space retains a tranquil feel, making it a choice for families or team gatherings.
Service and Atmosphere
Reports from 2023–2024 range from “polite and friendly” to top‑notch, with warm hosting by staff such as Ketut. A minority mention lapses in table etiquette, but most felt welcome and unrushed. Seating varies from low traditional tables to standard height, set among ponds, statues, and lush plantings.
Costs and Access
Some visitors comment that prices, like nearly 500k for a shared rice set, are high for locals but acceptable for tourists. Expect the 21% service charge. Getting here requires a taxi or GoJek as it’s not in central Ubud.
Verdict
Peaceful and green, with dishes that keep regulars returning, Laka Leke suits those happy to linger over Balinese flavours and watch the light fade across rice fields.
