Compared to Taiwan, finding an affordable meal in Ubud isn’t hard, but finding one that is both “cheap and delicious” is not so common. Not far from the famous “Ubud Palace,” Nomad Restaurant is just a short walk away. It offers fresh ingredients, thoughtful plating, and the added bonus of its prime location, making it a favorite among independent travelers.

While journeying around the world, he founded Nomad, blending international cuisines—Japanese, Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, and more—all inspired by his global experiences. The result is a menu that appeals to diners from all over Asia. Within its Asian-fusion offerings, you’ll find generous portions, using quality ingredients ranging from beef and seafood to pasta, grilled dishes, and freshly squeezed juices, all of which have delighted customers.

The roof is covered with thatch, and the whole space is designed to immerse you in nature with wood, bamboo, and greenery. In the evenings, candlelight adds to the ambiance. Moreover, every dish is beautifully presented—tourists can’t help but take out their cameras when their food arrives. And these seemingly upscale meals can be enjoyed for just NT$200–300 per person.
