Gianyar & Ubud Night Markets Guide: The BEST Street Food In Ubud

Looking for where to find the best street food in Ubud, Bali? You’ll find it at the Ubud & Gianyar Night Markets. Most tourists don’t visit the night markets in Bali as they’re not as well-known as in other SE Asian countries like Thailand, but I’m here to tell you that you’re missing out big time if you don’t stop by a Balinese night market at least once on your trip!

✔️ Ubud Night Markets: Key Takeaways

• Gianyar Night Market is the largest & most popular – located 20 minutes from Ubud
• Sayan Night Market is smaller, and closer to Ubud Center
• The most famous dish: Babi Guling (Suckling Pig)
• How to get there: Scooter or Grab taxi
• Best time to go: 6 – 8:30 PM

Where To Find The BEST Street Food In Ubud: Ubud & Gianyar Night Markets

The best street food options in Ubud are at the Night Markets, with Gianyar Night Market being the largest and most popular. The Ubud Morning Market is also a great place to sample local flavors, but it’s more so where locals do their grocery shopping, rather than a place to try street foods.

⏰ Hours: All of the markets in Ubud have certain hours, the morning market is open 6 AM – 9 AM every day and the night markets are open 5 PM – 9 PM. If you visit outside of those hours you might be surprised, what turns into a bustling market every day for three hours is just a normal parking lot the rest of the time! 

What Is to Expect at a Balinese Night Market 

A night market, or what is called a “Pasar Senggol” by Indonesians, is an open-air market that is set up only after nightfall. In the daytime, it’s usually a parking lot or town square and only comes alive at night with street food stands, clothing vendors, and even performances. 

The Ubud (Sayan) Night Market: Tiny Market 10-Minutes from Ubud

Not many tourists go to the Ubud Night Market since it often gets confused with the Ubud Art Market . The Ubud Night Market’s real name is the “Sayan” Night Market because it’s at the intersection of Sayan and Tebongkang Street, which adds to the confusion for foreigners trying to find it. 

Even though the Sayan Night Market is much closer to the center of Ubud than the Gianyar Night Market, it gets  way  fewer tourists because it’s much smaller.   Most tourists opt to go to the much larger Gianyar Night Market, which is located 10 KM outside of Ubud. 

👉 Secret Spot: You’ll never see more than a handful of foreigners at the Sayan Night Market, it’s a bit of a local secret. 

💰 Budget Ubud Eats: If you’re looking for a quick and easy cheap dinner, the Sayan Night Market is your best bet. Almost everything is about 10K IDR (70 cents). The Sayan Night Market is one of the only places in Ubud where you can have a full meal, dessert, and a drink for less than $2. 

🛵 How to Get There!  If you’re asking locals for directions, you need to specify that you’re going to the  Sayan  Night Market (Pasar Senggol Sayan), otherwise, you might wind up at the much larger Gianyar Night Market. 

⏰ Hours : Open every night from 5 PM – 10 PM, but the prime hours are between 7 PM – 9 PM. 

The Gianyar Night Market: Largest Night Market Near Ubud

The locals refer to the Gianyar Night Market as ‘Pasar Senggol Gianyar’ and it’s by far the largest night market in the Ubud area . Every night around dinner time the Gianyar Night Market comes alive with dozens of food stalls selling  amazing  Balinese street food – If you want to try a lot of Balinese traditional foods in Ubud, the Gianyar Night Market is definitely the place to go!

In addition to the great food, you’ll find rows and rows of stalls selling everything else you could think of; from pots and pans, and children’s toys, to socks and underpants. I came to the Gianyar Night Market for street food, but wound up leaving with both a full stomach  and  three new pairs of socks! If you need any household goods or clothes while in Ubud I would check the markets first. 

⏰ Hours: The prime time to go to the Gianyar Night Market is for dinner hours, 6 PM – 8:30 PM. 

🛵 How to Get There: By scooter or Grab taxi

👉 Tip – Download Google Translate.  The markets are made for locals, not tourists! Not everyone speaks English, so you might have to use a translation app (or a lot of pointing and hand gestures) to order food there. 

💰 Prices: Entrance to the night markets is free, and items and foods for sale at the Gianyar Night Market are very inexpensive by Western standards. I bought three pairs of socks for 30K Indonesian Rupiah ($2) and had a Babi Guling platter (Balinese suckling pig) for another 30K ($2).

9 Street Foods You Can Try At The Ubud Night Markets

1. babi guling: balinese slow-roasted suckling pig .

Babi Guling (suckling pig) is by far the most famous Balinese delicacy, and in the markets, you can try it the way the locals enjoy the dish.  Babi means “pig”, and Guling means “roll”, so Babi Guling literally translates to “rolling pig”. It’s named so because Babi Guling is slow-roasted pork that is turned on a spit. Babi Guling is cooked for over 4-6 hours and is considered a delicacy and celebration food in Bali. 

A Babi Guling platter actually only comes with a small portion of suckling pig, served alongside various types of other pork products like sausages and pork rinds, as well as steamed long beans, soup, and (of course) a generous portion of white rice. It’s very tasty, but I have to admit Babi Guling is not my favorite Balinese food because it’s usually served at room temperature. 

2. Bebek Betutu: Balinese Slow-Roasted Duck

Bebek Betutu is a Balinese roast duck dish, which you can find cooked whole (head-on and everything!) at the Gianyar Night Market. It’s a very popular dish, served on a skewer with a wide variety of sides similar to the Babi Guling. Like Babi Gulin, Bebek Betutu is also served at room temperature. 

3. Nasi Campur: Indonesian Pick-Mix Plate

“Nasi” means “rice” in Indonesian, and “Campur” means “mix” – A Nasi Campur is a platter of white rice with a variety of other sides, like tofu, salads, sambal, meatballs, long beans, and egg. Always topped with sauces and peanuts – If you want to try a little bit of everything, I recommend getting a Nasi Campur. 

4. Bakso Ayam: Chicken Meatball Soup With Noodles

Bakso Ayam is a super-popular Indonesian meatball and noodle soup. In Bali, Bakso is usually made with chicken meatballs due to a portion of the Hindu population does not eat beef. It makes for a nice light dinner. You can top it with fermented soy sauce, sriracha, fresh garlic, and chili paste. 

5. Gorengan: Anything & Everything Fried  

Goreng literally translates to “fried”, and Gorengan is the plural of the word. You’ll most commonly see the word in reference to the most popular food in Bali, Nasi Goreng (fried rice). In the night markets, you’ll find whole stalls of assorted Gorengan, which means battered and deep-fried foods! 

6. Satays: BBQ Skewers With Peanut Sauce

Satay (spelled “Sate” in Indonesia) is unfortunately an Indonesian delicacy I’ll never get to try due to my peanut allergy ☹️. Satay is made of minced meat, usually chicken, minced with lots of different spices and flavorings. The Satay is then roasted over an open flame, usually on a stalk of lemongrass, and topped with peanut sauce. You can find stalks of Satay, roasted fresh to order, all over the Night Markets in Bali. 

7. Es Campur: Rice Cakes, Sugar Jelly, & Coconut Milk Dessert Served Cold

I love Es Campur!  A tasty Indonesian dessert consisting of tapioca pearls, fruit, and grass jelly, floating in a mixture of coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and ice. It’s kind of like dessert cereal. It’s super cold, sweet, and refreshing. Photographed is Es Pisang, which is Es Campur served with a banana encased in green pastry similar to Mochi. It’s  very  good! 

8. Mixed Dessert Plate Made With Jaggery Sugar, Coconut Milk, & Rice Cakes

A variety of Indonesian desserts made from rice, banana, coconut, mango, and jellies and then topped with a  generous  drizzle of palm sugar syrup.

9. Temulawak soda: Indonesian Tamarind Soda

Temaluwak is a special kind of ginger grown on the Indonesian Island of Java. You’ll see the local soda made from Temulawak, and named after it, being sold in all the night markets. It’s very sweet, and I thought it tasted more like pineapple than ginger!

Ubud Night Market, Street Food & Locals Spot

• Last updated: Apr 25, 2024

Not to be mistaken with Gianyar Night Market or Ubud Art Market , Ubud Night Market is quite different. It’s rare to find tourists roaming around here. There are few, several seemingly at-a-loss foreigners hoping for a different kind of fun. Other than that, the night market is a hot spot for locals mostly.

It’s a quick stop for a cheap dinner after work. It’s a place for late-night hangouts. The lively market is located not far from the heart of Ubud. Precisely at the T intersection between Tebongkang and Sayan Street. For this reason, it contributes to the market’s other name, Sayan Night Market .

Travelers need to specifically ask for Sayan Night Market when asking locals for directions. Or else, locals will point it to Gianyar Night Market or other night markets.

Ubud Night market is not a typical night scene a tourist would go to while in Bali. A stark contrast with western-influenced Kuta nightlife. To be clear, this place is humble and traditional. It’s mostly make-shift tents that host vendors.

An inviting aroma of spices and dishes blended well with the smell of incense. A flow of local customers hustles coming and going. Forget DJs, the chattering of locals is the music of the night.

Balinese Number One Delicacy

There’s no other famed food in Bali than the famous “Babi Guling” (suckling pig). The pork dish has a tendency to make onlookers drool just by looking at it. Just see the display of a pit-roasted pig at one of the stalls here. Its reddish skin hid very juicy meat underneath.

The stuffing is far from simple. It’s a rainbow of spices all mixed into one. Endure the spiciness from turmeric, garlic, lemongrass, coriander seeds, and black pepper. Taste this heavenly mix dancing around inside the mouth, enhancing the flavor of the meat.

Classic Indonesian delight

It’s never short of choice when it comes to classic Indonesian food here in Ubud Night Market . Try Bakso, the meatball soup sold in almost every corner of the country. However, if typical Bakso uses beef as its main ingredient. Meatballs in Bali use chicken instead. Given that not all Hindu Balinese eat beef.

Hungry customers looking for heavier soup should try Soto. The greenish-yellow broth tastes slightly like curry, only with a clearer gravy. Unlike meatballs, rice accompanies this soup along with glass noodles. Still hungry? Satay (also chicken, not beef) and fried rice are next to devour.

Ubud Night Market Cheap Street Snacks

The street snacks can serve either as in-between meals or appetizers. Sample a different kind of Gorengan . Gorengan literally means fritters. These are little balls of delight made from various ingredients dipped into flour. It can be tofu, sweet potato, tempeh, banana, and many more. Enjoy a crunchy and savory sensation with each bite.

Dessert Choices

No matter how full a stomach is, there’s always room for dessert. Spare some space for Martabak Terang Bulan. The same stall usually sells both of these pancake-like delicacies. Salty fans can pick Martabak Telur , and people with a sweet tooth can pick Terang Bulan. With this in mind, everyone will be satisfied.

A portion of the sweet Indonesian pancake starts from Rp10.000 and it depends on the filling. In addition to that, customers could request more customized filling. As for martabak telur , the price starts from Rp12.000 for 1 egg. Of course, the same as the pancake, people could ask for up to 5 eggs.

A healthy option for dessert will be fruit juice. Pick from a heavenly option of tropical fruit. From avocado, mango, and pineapple to dragon fruit. Anyone who cannot be satisfied with one option of fruit can try Es Campur (mixed fruit with ice drenched in condensed milk and syrup).

The beverage slash fruit soup contains slices of watermelon, pineapple, and other fruit served with an iced cinnamon-spiced broth – very colorful and refreshing.

More than just food – it’s the people

The atmosphere of Ubud Night Market is authentic Bali to its core. Away from mass tourism, people are friendly and eager to get acquainted with tourists. Feel special in their warmth and friendliness. A few hours at this establishment will leave a lasting remark of Balinese hospitality.

See: Indonesian SIM Card, Price & Data Package

Ubud Night Market Opening Hours

Ubud Night Market starts opening at 5 PM every day. The market closes at 11 PM. However, it can be earlier for some vendors, depending on whether their goods are sold out or not. Food is dirt cheap, starting from Rp5.000 for snacks. A full belly only requires less than Rp70.000 for more than two dishes. Local parking officials will take care of travelers’ scooters for Rp2.000.

See: Guide To Explore Souvenir Shopping Spot, Ubud Art Market.

Let’s not hope for many facilities here. After all, Ubud Night Market is an “unofficial” market. Or what Indonesians called “Pasar Senggol” (sudden night market). Parking is available near the security post. There are toilets, but other than that, there are no more public facilities.

See: Guide To Explore Sukawati Art Market.

How To Get To Ubud Night Market

Ubud Night Market is a 10-minute drive from the center of Ubud, Raya Ubud Street. It’s better to opt for a scooter because there won’t be much parking space for cars. Renting a scooter at Ubud is around Rp 50,000/day (it’s cheaper than renting one in Kuta).

From Raya Ubud, follow this route: Hanoman Street – Singakerta Street – Rayan Street. The market is on the right side of the street. Visitors from Kuta or Denpasar can take Ngurah Rai Bypass Road heading north to Ubud. Then, the route can follow as mentioned above. It’s better to visit the market after a day tour around Ubud so that the trip can be efficient.
