well and truly stuck on Naughty Nero's at Ubud, so didn't think to mention the Ibu Oka. Make sure you get there next time, it's great for lunch! I did put it in my JBR Part 9:
After the museum I walked down the main street, Jalan Raya and next door to the Lotus Garden restaurant was an entrance you can use if you want to see the Lotus Garden at the Pura Sarawati without dining at the Café Lotus. I watched the gamelan orchestra practising for a while and then went on to the Warung Ibu Oka (in the next street to your left – Jalan Seweta) where I had a delicious lunch of babi gulung (roasted suckling pig – a Balinese national dish). At the Ibu Oka you sit on matting at low tables and the waitresses bring your meal, along with your choice of drink – they only serve bali gulung there and it's yum! I think it was about 10,000 rp. Go for an early lunch, before 2 pm, because once all the bali guling has been served up, they close.
