3 Monkeys Restaurant Address: Monkey Forrest St, UBUD, BALI

Another treasure in Ubud, Three Monkeys restaurant in Monkey Forrest Street is well worth a visit. We had just arrived in Bali early in the afternoon and decided we needed a snack to sustain us until dinner. Three Monkeys looked so inviting, with its very modern furnishings and water garden at the back of the restaurant. The locations to dine were numerous. Take a table out the front next to the sidewalk and watch the world go by or select a quiet table in the centre or do as we did and sit out the back near the water garden and enjoy the cool afternoon breezes wafting through. My selection for late lunch was the Ginger Chicken salad 34,000rp. Just delicious. Tender strips of chicken a top a crisp lettuce, finely shredded ginger, celery, water chestnuts, sprouts and a slightly citrus dressing. My husband chose the Chicken Club Foccacia 35,500rp. Also just delicious and certainly large enough to satisfy the hungriest of diner. All of this and a large icy cold bottle of Bintang 19,500rp. What a welcome back to our favourite island. Later in the week we met up with friends for a pre dinner drink at Three Monkeys and can highly recommend both the Strawberry Daiquiri 32,000rp with a plate of their crispy Spring Rolls to nibble on. They also serve excellent coffee and a range of homemade cookies and luscious ice creams in wafer cones, ideal for that mid afternoon pick me up.
