Lunch

Lunch Menu

Lunch at Hujan Locale starts at noon, every day, on Jalan Sri Wedari in the heart of Ubud. The kitchen serves the full modern Indonesian menu by chef Will Meyrick all day, so lunch can be a plate of sate and a salad or a long table of curries and sambals.

Lunch also brings Warteg, served at lunch only: small plates in the spirit of the Indonesian warung, from tahu isi and orek tempe to ayam kalio, with rice and sambals to build a plate.

At lunch the bar adds fresh crushes, juices and smoothies to the list, alongside the Indonesian cocktails.

Questions we are often asked

Who is behind Hujan Locale?

Hujan Locale is the modern Indonesian restaurant by chef Will Meyrick, set in a heritage townhouse on Jalan Sri Wedari in central Ubud, Bali. His travels across the archipelago inform a menu that keeps regional names and flavours in view.

What time is lunch served at Hujan Locale?

From noon, every day. The kitchen runs all-day dining until 10pm, so there is no break between lunch and dinner.

Is the lunch menu different from the dinner menu?

Lunch is the same menu as dinner, with the Warteg section on top: small warung-style plates, rice and sambals, served at lunch only. Crushes, juices and smoothies are also served at lunch only.

Is there a set menu at lunch?

The current set menus are on What's On.

Can the kitchen cater for dietary requirements?

Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free and shellfish-free dishes are marked on the menu. Tell us about any dietary requirement or allergy when you book, so the kitchen can make the arrangements.

Are prices subject to tax and service?

Prices are in thousands of rupiah and marked ++, which means they are subject to 7.5% service charge and 10% government tax.

Do I need to book for lunch?

We recommend it, as seating is limited. Book online or send a WhatsApp message to +62 813 5326 0275.

How do I get to Hujan Locale?

Hujan Locale has no on-site parking and no valet. Traffic in central Ubud is slow, so allow more time than the map suggests. The fastest way to reach us is by GoRide or GrabBike, which comes straight to the door. By car, park at Central Parking Ubud or ask your driver to drop you at the top of Jalan Sri Wedari.

The region belongs in the name

The meal might begin in Cirebon, with Tahu Gejrot: tofu dressed with palm sugar, tamarind, shallot and chilli. Sweetness gives way to a sharper edge, making room for another bite.

Beef Sate Padang brings a different warmth. Thick curry sauce coats the sate, with rice cake alongside. Slipper Lobster Dumplings carry Padang-style chilli sauce and fried curry leaf into another expression of the menu's regional interests.

These dishes keep their places of origin close. The names are an invitation to ask, taste and learn, while the food remains something to enjoy with the people beside you.

Rendang worth taking your time over

As more plates arrive, the meal settles into a slower rhythm.

Slow-Cooked Beef Rendang brings coconut milk and Padang spices together, with cassava leaf, sambal ijo and nasi kuning alongside. Its depth is a reason to pause, take another spoonful of rice and let the flavours linger.

Javanese Slow-Cooked Beef Cheek follows another course, with jengkol beans, nutmeg and sweet soy. Both give time an important role in the cooking, drawing out the qualities that make these dishes worth sharing.

For anyone seeking Indonesian food in Ubud, this is a good place to begin: a few regional dishes, vegetables alongside and enough room at the table to taste them together.

Desserts in Ubud

A final spoonful, rooted in the local. Dessert has its own place in the meal. Coconut, palm sugar, fruit and Balinese coffee invite you to stay a little longer. Choose something to share, or enjoy a plate of your own before the afternoon or evening continues.

Balinese Affogato combines palm sugar rice balls with coconut ice cream and single-origin Balinese coffee. Pineapple Granita brings a cooler finish, with nata de coco and coconut.

Leave a little room for dessert in Ubud. There is time for another spoonful and the conversation still to come.
