A Culinary Gem in Ubud: Enclave Bistro & Lounge

Combining exceptional hospitality with mouth-watering dishes and a cozy ambiance, Enclave Bistro & Lounge is definitely worth a visit when exploring Ubud in 2025.
Vibe and Vision of Enclave Bistro
According to Prissilia Anggraeni Putri, the Marketing Manager for Enclave Bistro & Lounge, the goal is clear: “We hope that Enclave Bistro & Lounge will become a new tourist destination where visitors can relax, enjoy live music every night, and indulge in our dishes. We aim to create an atmosphere that resonates with those who miss the vibrant vibe of Seminyak, Nusa Dua, or Kuta.”
She emphasized the quality of their offerings: “All our cocktails are crafted using top-notch local ingredients, and our prices reflect the quality we provide.”

Some highlights you won’t want to miss include the penne pistachio moringa and fettuccine tuna sambal matah. Mains such as lobster gratin and an Angus beef burger are sure to impress, while families can delight in the extensive kids’ menu that caters to all tastes, including several vegan and vegetarian options.
