Yep, it is delightful. Not only the food & service, but also the plates & glasses, which can be bought at reasonable prices.
At lunch, I would (& will in future), just have a main & dessert from the fixed menu. Not crazy about the entrees.
Tropical Bale will collect you from your hotel & take you back, free.
I REALLY hate the plaques on the walls in the (unisex) bathroom. VERY tacky. Otherwise, it is a classy joint & for me no trip to Ubud is complete without lunch at Tropical Bale.
I think there is a pretty good restaurant in Monkey Forest Rd called something similar. Tropical Bale is over the river near Neka Art Gallery (definitely well worth a lengthy visit).
