2 Bulan

2 Bulan sits in a calm corner of Ubud near the Monkey Forest, working as both a modern Thai kitchen and a natural-wine bar. The menu travels Thailand by region: northern snacks, the cured and fermented food of Isaan, then the fiery south. Curry pastes and noodles are all made on site.

For two, three or four dishes is about right. We'd go for tuna ceviche in the Isaan style, Khao Soi Doi Pui made with braised lamb, and snapper in yellow curry, then a panna cotta flavoured like mango sticky rice. Selected wines and cocktails are discounted from 4 PM, and dinner is booked on WhatsApp.
