Ary's Warung

Ary's started out as a lowly warung, but as Ubud went upscale in the '90s, so did Ary's. Today, the gourmet European and Indonesian specialties here have fans from around the world. Stop in for at least one of the honey-ginger-lime drinks (with or without the booze), and kick back on a couch street side for a bit of people-watching. Though this is the place to see and be seen, Ary's is quite pleasant at night, when tranquil trance music plays and candles light every corner. Second-floor dining gives you a good view of the busy street below or the bats swooping to catch bugs at dusk. The food is good -- overpriced, but good. Try the gazpacho, perfect on a hot day, or the grilled goat-cheese salad. The grilled tuna and lamb cutlets are done to perfection, and the ponzu-grilled snapper is delicious. The tasting menu (Rp220,000) includes two glasses of house wine.
