A Day at Foodology Ubud – What to Eat from Sunrise to Sunset

Tucked in the peaceful corner of Penestanan Kelod, Foodology Ubud isn’t just another café—it’s a rhythm of flavor, a pause in your day, and a space that grows on you, one bite at a time. Whether you’re a sunrise chaser, a brunch lover, or someone winding down with a wrap at sunset, our menu is thoughtfully designed to take you through every part of the day—naturally, comfortably, and deliciously.

Here’s your complete guide to experiencing a full day at Foodology Ubud, from that first morning sip to your final sunset bite.

Morning Rituals – Rise with Smoothie Bowls & Coffee

Mornings in Ubud have their own kind of magic—the soft light filtering through rice fields, the scent of fresh earth, and the slow pace that invites you to breathe. At Foodology, we welcome the day with food that nourishes from the inside out.

If you’re easing into the day, start with our Sunrise Smoothie Bowl. It's vibrant, refreshing, and packed with tropical fruit, granola, coconut flakes, and superfoods that feel like a warm hug for your digestive system. It’s not just a pretty plate—it’s fuel for your soul.

Pair it with a cup of our Artisan Coffee, sourced from local Balinese roasters. Whether you love a bold espresso, a smooth cappuccino, or prefer it iced, our baristas serve it with care and consistency. Many of our regulars say mornings at Foodology don’t begin until they’ve had their first sip.

If you need something heartier, the Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs is your go-to—perfectly seasoned, drizzled with olive oil, and served on house-made sourdough. It’s the kind of plate that balances comfort and clean eating.

Best time to arrive? Between 7:30 and 9:30 AM, when the sun is soft, the air is cool, and the café is peacefully alive with early risers and quiet laptop clicks.

Midday Meals – Light, Fresh, and Filling

By noon, Ubud starts to hum. Cyclists roll in from the ridge, yogis wander back from classes, and the midday heat begins to settle. This is the moment when your body wants something fresh and light, but satisfying.

Enter the Quinoa Tabouli Salad—a Foodology favorite. Made with fluffy quinoa, finely chopped parsley, tomatoes, cucumber, lemon juice, and olive oil, it’s a bowl that’s light yet sustaining. It's vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and ideal for mindful eaters who want to feel energized, not sluggish.

Craving something a bit more substantial? Try the Chicken Shawarma Bowl, one of the most-loved dishes on our menu. Tender, marinated chicken meets roasted vegetables, warm grains, and a creamy tahini dressing that brings it all together. It’s flavorful without being overwhelming, hearty without being heavy.

This is the time of day where guests linger longer. Digital nomads settle in under our fans with their laptops, families talk over juice, and solo travelers sketch or journal with a view of the greenery just beyond our doors.

Need a cool-down? Order our Fresh Juice Trio—a rotating selection of seasonal cold-pressed juices made from local fruits and roots. It’s hydrating, colorful, and the perfect refreshment between bites.

Late Afternoon – Snacks, Wraps, and Reset

The afternoon in Ubud is for slowing down. The light becomes golden, the conversations quieter, and the mood shifts. You might just be back from a walk through Campuhan Ridge or a nap by the pool. This is when Foodology becomes your recharge station.

Try our Roasted Veggie Wrap—a warm tortilla filled with grilled vegetables, hummus, and a touch of spice. It’s the perfect post-hike meal or snack-for-two. Not too heavy, but enough to satisfy your afternoon hunger pangs.

If you’re in the mood to nibble while you plan your next Bali adventure, we recommend the Homemade Falafel Plate served with a yogurt dip and crisp salad. You’ll find it's a favorite among our plant-based guests.

Of course, our Herbal Infusion Teas are also popular in the afternoon. Lemongrass, ginger, mint, and turmeric blends served hot or iced, giving your system a gentle refresh before the evening begins.

And don’t forget to order one of our homemade Dessert Bites—a rotating treat tray of small cakes, vegan brownies, or coconut chia cups. It’s that little indulgence that feels earned and guilt-free.

Sunset to Dinner – Wrap Up with Warmth

As the sun dips below the palms and a soft breeze moves through the trees, the energy at Foodology shifts again. The pace slows. The lights warm. The community feels closer. And our kitchen begins its final rhythm of the day.

Dinner here is about comfort. Familiar flavors made better with local ingredients and nourishing recipes. The go-to plate? Our Grilled Chicken with Herbed Rice and Seasonal Veggies. It's savory, colorful, and incredibly satisfying after a long day of exploring Ubud.

Another crowd-pleaser is the Stuffed Sweet Potato—baked to perfection and filled with spiced lentils, sautéed greens, and tahini sauce. It’s a plant-based dish that even non-vegans rave about.

For couples or groups, we recommend sharing the Tapas Trio—a combination of hummus, pita, marinated olives, and seasonal bites that pair beautifully with a glass of chilled kombucha or our house-made iced hibiscus tea.

And if you stay late? Don’t worry—we’re open until 10 PM. Grab a cozy corner, watch the candles flicker, and enjoy Ubud’s version of nightlife: calm, soulful, and delicious.
