PASIR Restaurant

Pasir brings Mediterranean cooking to Monkey Forest Road, using produce and seafood sourced around Bali. The menu is built for sharing: small plates such as whipped feta with salted honey and za'atar flatbread, homemade hummus and falafel, then garden dishes like roasted pumpkin with romesco and Kusamba smoked salt, burrata with grilled local grapes, and mushroom risotto. From the sea come octopus carpaccio, Lombok scallops and yellowfin tuna carpaccio, baked Bali oysters and jumbo prawns, with charcoal-grilled meats for larger appetites and a cocktail pairing suggested for many dishes. There is a vegetarian section and a children's menu. The dining room is styled in beige Greek-Mediterranean tones with arches, rattan chairs and plenty of greenery. It suits couples, families, birthdays and group dinners, about a 10-minute walk from Ubud centre.
