Nestled in the lush heart of Ubud’s forest, Habitat Bistro Ubud now offers a fully Italian menu, thoughtfully curated to bring the essence of Italy to Bali while maintaining a warm, approachable, and convivial dining atmosphere. Widely regarded as one of Ubud’s best restaurants, the bistro harmoniously blends contemporary elegance with minimalist charm. Set against the tranquil backdrop of a sparkling pool and verdant forest, Habitat is more than a place to dine—it is a destination for stylish gatherings, sundowners, and authentic Italian cuisine in the heart of Bali.
Leading the kitchen is Head Chef Putu Armen, whose culinary journey began in some of Bali’s most prestigious five-star hotels, including The Ritz-Carlton, InterContinental, and W Hotel. He first immersed himself in French cuisine before expanding his repertoire across the island’s vibrant dining scene, working with acclaimed establishments such as Bikini, Skool Kitchen, Numero Quattro, and Fu House. Drawing from this diverse experience, Chef Putu Armen now brings creativity and depth to every plate at Habitat Bistro Ubud, where he elevates the Italian menu through refined techniques and bold, contemporary touches.
Experiential dining lies at the heart of Habitat Bistro Ubud. Guests are invited to savor the exclusive Live Menu Experience, where tableside pizza cutting, cheese grating, and other interactive touches transform each meal into an unforgettable occasion. Complemented by an extensive wine collection, the restaurant offers an atmosphere of sophistication that enriches both the culinary journey and the broader lifestyle experience.
Each dish at Habitat Bistro Ubud is a harmonious blend of authentic Italian techniques and traditional flavors with a modern twist. Our best-selling menu features the Lamb Pappardelle, Margherita Pizza, Penne Pomodoro, Gnocchi Alfredo, and Linguine Carbonara, all crafted with care to deliver the true essence of Italy. The dining experience is designed to be social and engaging, highlighted by live tableside moments, infused with interactive tableside flair, and elevated by an extensive wine collection.
A Commitment to Sustainable Elegance
Habitat Bistro Ubud offers guests a refined balance of tradition and modern innovation in every dish, from handcrafted pizzas to flavorful pastas, inviting them to savor not only the flavors but also the spirit of the island. This philosophy extends beyond the plate and reflects the restaurant’s core values. In alignment with its sustainability, Habitat thoughtfully repurposes wine bottles, upcycling them into decorative displays and transforming them into distinctive drinking glasses, granting each bottle a beautiful second life. With this curated approach, complemented by an extensive wine collection, Habitat emerges as more than a dining destination; it is a complete culinary and lifestyle experience.
Whispering Spice: A Warm Embrace in a Glass
Introducing Whispering Spice, a signature cocktail that blends comfort and sophistication in every sip. The bold character of whiskey is gently rounded by smooth vanilla extract, while a hint of cinnamon adds a delicate warmth. Fresh lemon juice cuts through with brightness, balanced perfectly by the natural sweetness of honey. Served over ice and garnished with a charred citrus slice, Whispering Spice is both inviting and intriguing—a drink that whispers of cozy evenings, refined tastes, and lingering moments by candlelight.
Where Nature Meets Design
Habitat Bistro Ubud offers far more than dining—it delivers an atmosphere that elevates every bite and sip. The open-air design, accented with warm wooden details and contemporary orange seating, creates a vibrant yet relaxed setting where nature and design exist in perfect harmony. Overlooking an infinity pool that flows seamlessly into the surrounding jungle, the dining area invites guests to slow down, savor the view, and experience each dish and glass of wine with greater refinement. This carefully curated ambience transforms simple moments into lasting memories. From a handcrafted pizza to a flavorful plate of pasta or a perfectly paired glass of wine, the serenity of Ubud’s landscape enhances every taste, making dining at Habitat not only a culinary journey but also a celebration of place, presence, and connection.
