Pasir Ubud

Transporting the sun-drenched romance of the Greek Cyclades and Italian Amalfi coast into the lush rainforest heart of Ubud, Pasir is an architectural revelation along upper Monkey Forest Road. Designed with raw lime-plastered walls, billowing natural linen drapery, hand-turned earthenware ceramics, and living olive trees rooted into the dining floor, the restaurant feels like a seaside villa transposed into the jungle. The open layout welcomes gentle cross-breezes while amber pendant lighting casts a soft, flattering glow across intimate dining nooks.

The kitchen sources sustainable wild catch from fishermen off Jimbaran and Amed, elevating local seafood through classic Mediterranean techniques. The grilled Spanish octopus arrives gloriously tender with crisp charred edges, resting upon an earthy house romesco, while the chilled sea bass carpaccio is accented by pink peppercorns and extra virgin olive oil from ancient Tuscan groves. Combine your meal with an aromatic coastal gin and tonic infused with hand-picked rosemary and kaffir lime zest. Dinner reservations between 19:00 and 20:30 are essential on weekends.
