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.

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.

Fantastic food, Indonesian flavours with a modern twist. Beautiful presentation of dishes. Staff is friendly and very knowledgeable about the ingredients and dishes. Interior was cosy, yet felt very spacious. They have two floors - both beautifully designed. During our 7 day stay in Ubud we went there twice we loved it so much. We absolutely loved beef rendang, lobster dumplings and tuna gohu but to be honest all the dishes were delicious and it was our favourite restaurant during our 3 week trip in Indonesia.

It’s pretty rare in my experience that a restaurant gets everything right. Hujan Locale delivers on all fronts from fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable staff, to an amazing ambiance and incredible food. The wine list is thoughtful and even the music is great. This led us back there twice in a week. To the food: we ate all vegetarian and fish options on both occasions and they were faultless. The betel leaf is like the best of Bali in a bite. Unforgettable. I will be long dreaming about the tuna with pomelo and watermelon (Tuna Gohu). You know how sometimes the final dish is way beyond the sum of its parts? Both this dish and the Sumatran Fish Crudo were balanced, interesting and a true reflection of the best of Indonesian food. Honestly some of the best food we’ve eaten this year. Don’t miss it. We can’t wait to get back next year and see what new magic the chef has whipped up! If there’s just you or a group of 2 the small cafe tables on the tiny balconies downstairs are a great spot to sit.

Genuinely the best food I’ve had in Ubud so far, the betel leaf starter was amazing. Tuadi is an amazing server with such a kind and great personality - will 100% be back here before I leave Ubud

Hi, Catur here. I’ve been living in Bali for 12 years, and you bet I’ve done all the temple visits and explored Bali’s best beaches and waterfalls. Adding my hospitality background and 13+ years of fiction writing to the mix (four self-published Indonesian books and a 2020 Wattys Award), I’ve shared the local insight about 100+ restaurants, cafes, bars, hotels, and beach clubs on the island, because I want you to get the best experience!
