Gigit and Mt. Batur. Definitely, Ubud is a much better location from which to visit these places (as it is to visit practically all the sites in Bali, with few obvious exceptions, like Ulu Watu and Tanah Lot).
Restaurant. Mozaic, of course. This is, by all accounts, the best restaurant in Bali. If you can afford the trendy restaurants in Seminyak, you wont even feel the pinch at Mozaic...

The second top restaurant in Ubud is Lamak, on Monkey Forest. The food is also excellent, atmosphere quite different from the garden setting at Mozaic, and the prices on the wine list are somewhat la bit lower.
After you have splurged at either restaurant, you can eat at Dewa Warung, on Jl. Gotama (off Jl. Dewi Sita), serving Balinese/Indo food. Most dishes at Rp4,000 (That's FOUR thousand) and certainly all under Rp10,000.
