A Balinese cooking class is one of the best ways to understand the island's culture — and one of the most fun rainy-day activities too. Here's what to expect and how to get there by scooter.

Where classes are

AreaStyleFrom central area (approx.)
Ubud (Penestanan, Nyuh Kuning, Tegallalang road)Village and rice-field kitchens5–25 min
Canggu & PererenanModern kitchens, villa-style5–15 min
SeminyakRestaurant-based classes5–15 min

Classes, prices and schedules vary by provider — check recent reviews and book directly with the class.

What to expect

  • An optional early market visit to see spices, fruit and vegetables.
  • Making a spice paste from scratch, then several dishes.
  • Eating what you cook — come hungry.
  • Vegetarian and allergy-friendly options at many classes; ask in advance.

Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes, and bring water. Ride carefully after the class — a big lunch and the afternoon heat make some riders sleepy.
