The Curatorial Take

Atmosphere & Gastronomic Identity

An iconic fixture on Ubud's main thoroughfare since 1992, Casa Luna was established by author and culinary luminary Janet DeNeefe. More than just a restaurant, it is a cultural landmark and literary salon where international writers, travelers, and artists gather amidst hand-carved stone statues, lush tropical gardens, and breezy open verandas. The relaxed, bohemian ambiance captures the timeless spirit of old Ubud, complemented by warm Balinese hospitality and live jazz evenings.

The menu is an alluring marriage of Balinese family recipes and wholesome Mediterranean favorites. DeNeefe's celebrated seafood paella bursts with ocean-fresh prawns and squid infused with fragrant saffron, while her traditional Balinese smoked duck is tender and deeply aromatic, served with spiced vegetable urab and red rice. Save room for their famous homemade bakery sweets, including the legendary lime tart and artisanal gluten-free cakes paired with freshly brewed Balinese mountain coffee.
