2.Bali Food Tour: Savor Street Food and Night Market Adventures

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 46 reviews · from $35Top rated

Explore Ubud’s night markets with a local guide, tasting babi guling, satay, desserts, and vegetarian dishes for $35 per person.

“The night market and food tour was very interesting, and thanks to Putu we had a good time and food that we wouldn't have tried on our own. Also the two night market places are definitely not places we would have found and been to on our own. They are really local, no tourists there and all the food is very authentic. We started our tour with a restaurant that served suckling pig, which we wanted to try. Beware, very spicy sauces and soup on the side! Then on the two night markets we tried different specialties, we liked the tuna and the Terang Bulan (dessert) very much!”

Learn how cacao becomes chocolate at a Ubud plantation, make a chocolate drink, taste fresh treats, and take home dark chocolate.

“Getting a jug of melted chocolate, pouring it into a mould, tipping on sprinkles and waiting for it to set is not a chocolate workshop. We were so disappointed with this experience. My 11 year old was given a pre made chocolate and some icing to tip on. Really babyish and awful.”
