Laka Leke is a garden restaurant on Jl. Nyuh Bojog in the Mas area of Ubud, Gianyar Regency, set beside rice fields a short walk from the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. Diners come for Balinese and Indonesian classics plated with care and served in private thatched-roof pavilions that feel far removed from central Ubud’s traffic.
The restaurant’s own site describes a spacious garden bordering the rice paddies, with separate pavilions for private dining. That layout suits couples looking for a quiet table and families who want room to spread out. Diners consistently praise the crispy duck and the nasi campur, a mixed rice plate that offers a good sampler of Balinese flavors. Reviewers also highlight attentive service and the open-air rice-field views, according to Postcard. On Tripadvisor, Laka Leke holds a 4.3 rating across nearly 800 reviews.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Late afternoon is the best time to arrive. The fields are at their most photogenic then, and you can claim a pavilion before the dinner crowd. Reserve ahead for evenings, especially during the July–August peak and the Christmas–New Year period. Ask when booking whether a Balinese dance performance is scheduled that night, since programming varies. The walk from the Monkey Forest’s southern edge through Nyuh Kuning village takes only minutes. Bring insect repellent for after-dark garden dining, and confirm current hours directly before you go.
