Brie isn’t just a top Ubud restaurant — it’s also one of the most original breakfast and brunch cafés in town.

Inside, the café feels part Paris, part Bali — all detail-led and beautifully quiet.
Every cheese is made on-site, just hours after milking. You’ll taste it in the ricotta pancakes or stracciatella-stuffed croissants. Their rare Arabica coffee pairs well with homemade pastries or even cheese-forward cocktails. Whether you’re after a long brunch or just one perfect espresso, Brie delivers something you’ll return for.
