The short answer
Murni's Warung: what visitors should know first
Go for an unhurried meal in a place with decades behind it. The restaurant says it serves Balinese and Indonesian cuisine; it also serves meat, and we did not verify a vegetarian menu, so ask. Hours should be confirmed.

Why it matters
Why Murni's Warung is worth your time
Warungs that have lasted decades are rare in a town that changes quickly. Murni's dates from the 1970s according to a travel wiki, long before Ubud's current tourism boom, so the place gives context to how the town developed as a visitor destination.
For older travellers, the draw is familiarity: a menu mixing Balinese and Western dishes lets a group with different tastes sit together. The compromise is that it is not a vegetarian kitchen, so those with strict diets need to ask each time.

How to experience it
A travel wiki lists Murni's as a Western and Balinese warung by the Campuhan bridge, founded in 1974 and open daily. The restaurant's own site calls its cooking Balinese and Indonesian, mentions an award for Balinese cuisine in Ubud in 2017, and refers to a lounge bar on the second level and a cakes menu.
We could not see the menu, so we cannot name dishes. Read it on arrival and ask staff which dishes are vegetarian and whether stock or shrimp paste is used, since this is a mixed kitchen. A vegetarian traveller should treat this as a place to ask, not assume.
A sensible plan is a late lunch after a morning on the Campuhan Ridge Walk, which starts nearby, or before the Neka Art Museum on the same road. Sit on the lower level if climbing stairs after a walk will tire you, and keep an eye on the weather if you are choosing an outdoor table.
Plan with confidence
