CHORA Mediterranean Restaurant & Bar

Ubud’s lush canopy meets pure Aegean energy. Forget the usual spots—CHORA is where you go for serious Mediterranean fire paired with surreal Balinese charm. True philoxenia in the heart of Gianyar. The hospitality hits different here; the staff treat you less like a ticket and more like family. Those who frequent the Ubud dining circuit consistently point to the open kitchen’s flawless execution. Plates that command attention—charred oyster mushrooms with a wildly meaty bite, silky burrata draped over fresh rigatoni pomodoro, and a rich mushroom risotto that ruins you for anything else. The vibe? Utterly electric. Think lush al fresco garden tables, a DJ layering beats over a live electric violin, and—unexpectedly—resident ducks casually strolling past your table. Finish the night with creative cocktails and a complimentary pour of house-made limoncello. A flawless collision of island rhythm and Mediterranean soul.
