Next time your stalking your way through Ubud’s craft markets or taking a break from the life coach sessions, make a beeline for Flock, the newest culinary enclave in Bali’s spiritual capital.
There’s a time for culinary adventures and authentic if not challenging local bites, and then there’s time for food that revives and satisfies without pretension. At Ubud’s newly opened Flock, you’ll find the innovation is kept at respectable levels while soul-soothing flavours are dialled up to the max.

Using locally sourced ingredients, Flock is a dynamic multi-faceted space that will appeal to both local nomads and visitors alike. Founded by Sherrine Budiman, who brings her background in fine arts to bare with bold interiors and mural works, Flock is a cafe-cum-all-day-diner where the focus is on nutrition (it’s Ubud after all), and comfort. The eatery is already making a name for itself with its burgers (the Prabby Katty is one of Ubud’s best), cheesy meatball subs, oh-so-simple snapper and mash; and the endearing Choux Al’ Flock, all made with local ingredients and without MSG.
Flock’s dedication to comfort food doesn’t stop at the dishes – it extends to the drinks as well. Paying tribute to the Kombucha culture, the restaurant uses scoby to craft refreshing and delicious kombucha beverages that are packed with health benefits. And for coffee lovers, Flock’s skilled baristas create carefully crafted coffee drinks using high-quality beans garnered from all over the world, including one chilled gem inspired by Banoffee cream pie.

The name “Flock” encapsulates the essence of the place: a space where free-spirited people can come together and build a community that gets stronger together. The restaurant has hosted a variety of events and projects involving local artists and the creative community of Bali, blurring the boundary between F&B and art. You’ll already find a loyal following stacking their MacBooks and mochas on the venue’s terraced seating.
To further tantalize your taste buds, Flock has recently announced the opening of Moon Sipper Club. Located on the second floor of Flock, this hidden spot will focus on more serious food and cocktails, including cold cuts.
