Discover Bali Through Food, Culture & Community

Welcome to USADA Bali

We’re glad you found us, and we hope that what you find here resonates with you as a kindred spirit.

Nestled in the heart of Ubud, Usada Bali is a holistic haven created to help you find and nurture harmony in body, mind, and spirit. Our offerings allow you to dive deep into Balinese and Indonesian culture, immerse yourself in ethnic and devotional music, learn from holistic and traditional healers, be swept away by local performing artists, sit with experienced teachers and practitioners of the great spiritual lineages, engage in shared conversations with thinkers, artists and guardians of Balinese culture, and much more .We think of Usada as a vibrant little hub of wellness, spirituality, healthy eating and culture.

Our name, the word ‘Usada’, refers to the ancestral Balinese knowledge of plant medicine and the healing arts – a body of wisdom which we continue to honor in our daily practices, culinary philosophy, and community offerings.

Really yummy food! Calm and quiet before 6pm! But the service is great.
Celena Liu
Im not a vegetarian and usually don’t eat vegetarian but the food here is actually very good and based off of Ayurvedic recipes. I love the shakshuka here, it’s very different and tasty. I came here for the daily community talks and events and enjoyed it a lot. The service here is great as well - Ayu is the hostess that served me many times, she is super friendly and sweet and we became friends after coming here many times. This place makes me feel like family with the friendly staff and the community events! Highly recommend

Living in Ubud, this is one of the most frequent places I visited to eat, food is very healthy and well balanced. And they have nice regular events upstairs

Scott from Usada guided my retreat guests and I through a life changing Melukat traditional Balinese cleansing ceremony. It’s our second time and won’t be our last. Scott and his team are so knowledgeable of all things rooted in the deep traditions of the Balinese culture. I cannot recommend Usada enough for that extra special experience.

Usada has become like a home for me! This place is just incredible. First off the food is so good, healthy and nourishing. You can't really go wrong ordered here. I especially love the soups. Secondly, they have the most incredible free events highlighting a lot of Indonesian musicians. This is what keeps me coming back again and again. The upstairs is so cozy and all the music I have seen here is so good. And of course the vibe is wonderful. One of the absolute best places to hang in Ubud !

A nice experience! Agus was very knowledgeable about jamu and sharing. I received three little bottles (to take away) of the different Jamu that he made, while instructing me. The café is clean and has a good energy and nice decor. All staff are friendly and happy. Laughter from the kitchen 😀❤️
