Bali's biggest food festival: Indonesian chefs, masterclasses and a free food market in the island's cultural heart.

The Ubud Food Festival puts Indonesian cuisine at the center, with cooking demonstrations, chef's tables, masterclasses, food tours and a market at Taman Kuliner. Competitions on site are free to watch, while masterclasses, chef's tables and special dinners are ticketed.
