EATING
Ubud is packed full of
places to eat
and there are more
vegetarian
and
organic
options than
anywhere else on the island. Many restaurants outside central Ubud offer free pick-ups if you
call up in advance.
SAVE THE WATER BOTTLE, SAVE THE WORLD…
Discarded plastic bottles don't decompose and are expensive and wasteful to manufacture.
The Bali Cantik Tanpa Plastik (
Plastic Free Bali
) Campaign is working to get rid of
all
plastic, including bags. In the meantime, to help minimize the rubbish problem, you can
refill
your plastic water bottle with the filtered water supplied at certain clued-up outlets in
Ubud for less than what it would cost to buy a replacement. These include:
Jl Dewi Sita
Tutmak
restaurant; Pondok Pekak Library and Learning Centre; and
Sjaki's
Warung
.
Jl Hanoman
Kafe
restaurant.
Jl Jembawan
Bali Buda
café.
Rice-paddy walk
Sari Organik
