Gianyar night market (pasar senggol) is the street-food market of Gianyar town, about 20 minutes by car from Ubud according to one travel blog. Entry is free (only parking is paid); a feast of several dishes costs under 10 dollars according to one guide, with babi guling (roast suckling pig), ayam betutu (spiced chicken), bakso, mie ayam, nasi jinggo and sweets such as klepon. Hours are uncertain: the guides consulted in October 2026 give 17:00 to 22:00, 16:00 to 23:00 or "from 16:00"; no official source, so come around 18:00 and confirm on site.
Highlights
Babi guling
Gianyar's signature dish: roast suckling pig with crackling skin, served with rice, lawar and sambal. One guide names Warung Babi Guling Desak Nyoman Ratni for takeaway; compare prices before ordering.
The other stalls
Ayam betutu, bakso and mie ayam (soups), nasi jinggo (a small portion of rice with chicken and sambal, a typical evening dish), klepon and pisang rai for dessert. The market also serves local life: people come to eat, not to buy souvenirs.
Going alone or with a guide
If you do not know what to order, the guided Gianyar night market tour "up to 17 tastings" is rated 4.5 out of 5 (61 reviews read in October 2026), from about 31 dollars. For the dishes and prices in detail, see eating in a warung in Bali.
Practical info
Tips
- Pay in cash, in small notes. Arrive before 20:30 or 21:00 for the best choice, according to one guide. Haggle only for non-food items; food prices are fixed. Eat at busy stalls with hot food. Muslim travellers or those who do not eat pork should choose the chicken or fish stalls. For the rest of the evening, see the legong dance in Ubud and Ubud art market.
How to get there
Gianyar is about 20 minutes from Ubud (one guide's estimate, traffic permitting). The simplest way is a driver or a ride-hailing trip (see Grab and Gojek in Bali); for the return in the evening, agree on the driver in advance or book a ride with the app.
