Ubud, Bail, Indonesia is a town rich with great restaurants but Fair Warung Bale is my favorite. Bail’s cosmopolitan makeup ensures there is great food available no matter what you are craving and over the last few weeks we have definitely done a lot of searching. From Indonesian food in tiny mom and pop warungs to Tex-Mex and Pizza in western style eateries, we have tried it all. There is a lot of competition among restaurants in Ubud andFair Warung Bale seems to have raised the quality of food throughout Bali.
From the outside, Fair Warung Bale looks attractive but unremarkable amid streets that are filled with charm, but go inside and you are at once made to feel welcome by an attentive staff and a relaxed but “island elegant” décor. The founder Alex always seems to be on hand to greet everyone and make sure things are running just right.

The menu at Fair Warung Bale has a nice mix of western and Asian dishes as well as a selection of salads and freshly made juices. The ingredients are high quality and lovingly prepared in the clean and open kitchen. The portions are generous and the prices more than fair. I have ordered the tuna with roasted garlic and vegetables (twice) and it was perfect. The tuna was fresh and cooked with a nice sear on the outside and a rare middle; exactly as I like it. I also had a chance to try the prawn green curry and it is among the best I have had in Asia.
As if this wasn’t enough to recommend this restaurant Fair Warung Balé is owned by the Swiss “Fair Future Foundation”, an NGO that gives free healthcare to poor Indonesians. They have only been around a few years but seem to already be making a positive impact on Bali. I would say without hesitation that you should eat at this restaurant at least once on any visit to Bali.

Disclosure: We are in no way affiliated with Fair Warung Bale, we paid for all my own meals and I only recommend it because I have found it to be among the best places I have eaten in Asia. It is great that they use their profits to fund special projects but the restaurant stands on its own.
