Warung Garasi is located down a hidden lane off the busy Monkey Forest Road in Ubud. It was built in the former garage of a Balinese family, and they have used that theme to deck out the restaurant in motor decorations.
The restaurant is cheap warung style, but the food quality does not reflect that. I have had a very good Thai style curry here before, but on this visit I went for a fried egg dish with tofu and sprouts covered with peanut sauce. It tasted like Bali!
Clare went for her usual and reliable choice of nasi campur, which is a great way to sample the dishes of a new restaurant.
Another way to compare restaurants to try another staple of menus, the lumpia (spring rolls). These were packed with tasty vegetables.
Something on the menu that we had not seen before, and sounding like it was worth a try, was Balinese wine, red or white. We decided to try the white as the staff member said it was sweeter. It is not arak, as that was also on the menu. Very lemony taste, and for 15,000 rp was a great alternative to more expensive cocktails.
