Dining information
Restaurant:
Kemiri, an open-air dining balé pavilion beside a tranquil fishpond, is your setting for breakfast, served between 6.30am and 10.30am. Choose from a tropical fruit plate, a hearty full English (eggs, smoke-house bacon, chicken sausage, a sweet corn cake and roast tomatoes), or more healthful options such as an egg-white omelette with kale. Kemiri opens for special themed evenings too, such as spicy, meaty bebek bebutu feasts. For dinner, head to Italy-inspired Uma Cucina, a street-side bar and lounge with a big communal dining table (plus outside seating) that serves up an informal Meditteranean menu. Expect handmade pastas, cheeses and sausages, wood-fired pizzas and breads, plus classic Italian gelato and granitas.
Top Table:
For the most breathtaking view, make a beeline for table 2; you’ll be right beside the waterfall-fed pond, where you can watch golden koi gliding through the water.
Last Orders:
Kemiri closes its kitchen at 10.30am. The Pool Bar keeps pouring until 11.45pm.
Room Service:
Healthy Como Shambhala dishes and guiltier pleasures such as pasta and club sandwiches can be enjoyed in rooms from 6am to 1am.
Hotel Bar:
A relaxed, contemporary affair, Como Uma Ubud’s Pool Bar is the ideal spot for lingering on a lounger making your way through the lengthy wine list or the 15-strong martini menu; the jasmine tea and ginger-infused variant gets our vote.
