New cuisine learnt! - Been wanting to attend a cooking class since I planned this solo trip and im glad my driver recommended this place! I had lots of fun and got to meet a new friend! Learnt well about balinese cuisine and actually how fast a simple meal can be done with basic ingredients! Ron and his colleagues was friendly and Ron especially was super funny during my class there. Left the place with a very good experience and making new friends! Will definitely recommend this cooking class to anyone! Thank you once again for accommodating to my last minute reservation as well! 😊🙏🏽

Authentic Balinese Cooking Class - This was a brilliant authentic Balinese cooking class. Before the class we did a tour of a local market & a Balinese house. During the class we cooked several different Balinese dishes which made a huge meal. Every dish was delicious. Our chef was great fun, he had us laughing throughout.

Fantastic moment - An unforgettable time with family. The team takes the time to explain the Balinese culture around a welcome snack. Then you have the possibility to cook 6 dishes without any hurry. We were only with another couple. We were able to enjoy the ready meals at the end. It's not the channel c is authentic, excellent and always with a beautiful benevolence!! In short far from mass tourism. We highly recommend this activity

Wonderful and unique opportunity to learn from and experience Balinese culture - Our experience at a cooking class with Lesung Bali was AMAZING!! Our guide, Ron, showed us a very unique glimpse into real Balinese daily life, from taking us to the local market to buy food, showing us a typical Balinese house, and finally teaching us how to cook. We felt welcomed because of his wonderful sense of humor and generous hospitality. Furthermore, the cooking class was a wonderful experience. Before we started cooking, we had a look at the ingredients we were going to use - growing right there outside in the garden! The class took place in an outdoor kitchen and he and his assistants guided us in cooking six authentic dishes using traditional appliances. The food tasted amazing and it was only enhanced by the cooking process. I will recommend this to everyone I know planning to go to Ubud.

Great cooking class - Amazing experience. Included a tour of a traditional Balinese compound with explanation of the layout of the buildings, a tour of the garden and seeing the spices we would be using, cooking portion and then enjoying the food we had made. The people were so kind and patient and the food was incredible. It ended up being only myself and my partner so we basically had a private class! Would 100% recommend and will be recreating the dishes at home.

Must-do, best thing ever - This was the best thing to do if you love food and cooking! We got picked up early in the morning and got brought to the morning market where we saw but also tasted the most amazing fruits and the best cake! After this we sat down for a morning tea/coffee in a traditional compound. Which words cannot describe how special and unique of an experience that was. So this I will leave for you to discover. And then the cooking, oh my, it was spectacular. They were so good at explaining and helped out where needed. We made 5 dishes, and desert, all of which was delicious. In the end we got the recipes which we will most definitely will try to make at home again! Honestly, we’ve travelled a lot, but this tops the charts of things to do on holiday!
