After more than four decades as a cultural landmark, The Café Lotus in Ubud has reopened with fresh energy while staying true to its Balinese heritage. Nestled beside the sacred Saraswati Temple and its iconic lotus pond, the café has long been a place where travellers, artists, and locals connect through food, art, and tradition.
The restoration carefully preserves the venue’s authentic character while introducing a refined design and enhanced dining spaces. Traditional architecture has been lovingly restored, and the menu highlights Balinese specialties, royal feasts, and modern interpretations crafted from local ingredients. Each evening, the stage comes alive once more with Balinese dance performances framed by the temple’s timeless backdrop. For reservations, please visit link.
This revival coincides with the transformation of Puri Saraswati Dijiwa Ubud, where guest rooms now blend heritage charm with modern comfort. Together, the resort and café create a cultural retreat in the heart of Ubud, just steps from the Palace, Market, and historic Water Palace.
Visitors are invited to rediscover the essence of Ubud—mornings overlooking the lotus pond, afternoons exploring cultural workshops, evenings with dance and cuisine, and moments of renewal at Tirta Mandala Spa. The Café Lotus returns as more than a restaurant; it is a living piece of Ubud’s story, welcoming all who seek to experience its spirit.
