Dining at Hujan Locale is a way to celebrate Balinese and Indonesian cuisine in a modern way. For Chef Will Meyrick, known as the man behind Sarong and Mama San in Seminyak, Hujan Locale is a manifestation of his desire and extensive travelling throughout the archipelago.

Hujan Locale highlights the alluring charm of Indonesian food and converts it into a fine dining restaurant specialising in Indonesian dishes made in a modern way with a touch of Balinese flair. These elements are shown in the building and decor, which echoes East Indies architecture with wide and tall windows and classic tiles. Walking into Hujan Locale feels like stepping into one of the museums in Jakarta, where each item is part of Indonesian history.

The sound of modern Indonesian jazz music makes the perfect soundtrack for each bite of the tender and juicy Brali Aga Grilled Pork or sipping your Coconut Mojito ‒ one of their crafted cocktails. Hujan Locale creates an idyllic and delightful setting for a group dinner, where everyone can order different dishes and share the richness and diversity of the flavours by using Indonesian ingredients and recipes as a base.

Our experts expierence from Hujan Locale

Reservations

Hujan Locale is not a place you happen to find out on a stroll, so making a reservation is mandatory through their website. You can opt to make a reservation for lunch or dinner by choosing the options available on the reservation page. Priority booking should be made at least two weeks in advance for a party of less than four, but this doesn't guarantee specific seating arrangements.

The Parking Space

Since Hujan Locale is located on a busy street on Jalan Sri Wedari, there are no dedicated parking spots for motorbikes or cars. For the utmost convenience, we suggest you take a taxi or Grab/Gojek.

Welcoming Service

If your table is not available yet, you can wait at the bar, and the staff are extremely attentive. This is why we suggest you make a reservation to secure a table, as the tables are full most of the time.

Why do we choose Hujan Locale?

Hujan Locale's greatest draw is that they're not going down the traditional recipe route. Instead, they creatively translate traditional Indonesian recipes in a modern way to earn a place among fine dining establishments. Whether you sit downstairs or on the first floor, Hujan Locale still delivers a classic ambience via its interior design.

Meaning 'rain' in English, Hujan Locale soothes its visitors into a breezy atmosphere with a touch of elegance and superb flavours. Though the restaurant is actually perfect for a family-style dinner ‒ although with the policy of children under 12 are not allowed ‒ Hujan Locale is a great choice for groups of friends who want to try the adventure of Indonesian dishes.

We still highly recommed Hujan Locale because this is what Indonesian dishes should be: traditional yet modern, and worthy to be served in a fine dining restaurant. Book yourself a table and get ready to take a journey across the Indonesian archipelago via Will Meyrick's love child of Hujan Locale.

    Arrived as walk-ins (recommend booking!) and we were accommodated immediately, even though the restaurant was very busy. Service was top notch and all the staff were super friendly. Food was just delicious - could not fault this. A real experience. Cocktails were amazing. Menus had so much choice, the waitresses help you and guide you with this. Would highly recommend!

    The best Indonesian gourmet restaurant in Ubud! I had rawo, chicken martabak, spicy potato and fish. Such a next level!! I came at dinner time I had no reservations got so lucky they got a place for me and my partner. I recommend if you want to come to this place please do a reservation because the place is quite busy during dinner time. Friendly staff, good ambiance and delicious food! Definitely coming back on my next trip to Ubud.

Hi everyone! My name is Catur, and I was born and raised in Central Java. I moved to Bali in 2011 but left the island in 2016 before returning in 2018. Bali feels more than a home to me, and maybe that’s why my name feels like a premonition. Catur means four, both in the Balinese and Javanese languages. It is spoken like ‘c’ in chess, which is also the meaning of my name in Indonesian.
