Traditional Balinese Home Dining Experience in Ubud with Putu

About this tour

Spend two hours in Putu's family kitchen in Ubud, learning how she prepares Balinese dishes from scratch. This private dinner in a working residential home gives you a genuine taste of how locals eat, with conversation flowing naturally between courses. You'll taste seasonal ingredients prepared the way Putu cooks for her own family, not a tourist version. Round-trip transport from your Ubud hotel is included, along with soft drinks and a glass or two of local alcohol.

Highlights

• Cook's own family home in residential Ubud neighbourhood
• Seasonal Balinese dishes prepared fresh during your visit
• Direct conversation with experienced home cook Putu
• Round-trip hotel transport included from Ubud centre
• Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free options available
• Local drinks and soft beverages provided

What to expect

You'll be collected from your Ubud hotel and driven to Putu's home, a genuine family residence where she works daily. Once there, you'll sit down as her guest while she finishes preparing the meal—you're welcome to watch, ask questions, or simply relax. The food arrives in stages, and Putu eats with you, making it a real shared meal rather than a service. Expect simple, flavourful cooking built around what's available that season. The whole experience lasts about two hours from pickup to drop-off.

Good to know

Confirm your hotel name and location at booking so transport can be arranged. If you have allergies, dietary restrictions, or preferences, mention them upfront—the menu shifts seasonally. If you're staying outside central Ubud, transport costs extra. Prams and service animals are fine.
