Bebek Bengil - The Dirty Duck Diner at Ubud, Bali

Bebek Bengil (Dirty Duck Diner) Restaurant (S8 31.063 E115 15.825) is located at Padang Tegal - the heart of Ubud, Bali. I read through the many good review of the restaurant online and decided to give a try...

The entrance to Bebek Bengil Restaurant, Ubud

The restaurant is operated 10 years ago since year 1990. The entrance doesn't look grand to us where you gotta walk through a small alley...

I did a reservation on the Famous Balinese Smoked Duck 1 day before, (this is the only dish you have to order in advance) and paid rp.50,000 for the booking fee (refundable). A Must-Try-Dish according to the fellow bloggers - J2kfm & foongpc, and I also took the chance to snap around the relaxing environment before it's getting dark...

The restaurant is spacious and nicely situated in the paddy field

The main dining hall

There are many 'huts' surrounding the paddy field and we did booked one of the hut opposite the main dining hall. It should be a special dining experience, I think. :)

We reserved this Hut - No.28

We were totally impressed by the ambience of the Bebek Bengil Restaurant. "Bebek means Duck and Bengil means Dirty, why it's dirty? Because the ducks activity mostly around the muddy paddy field..." Explained by our friendly Driver - Mr Agoes.

Beside the paddy field, there was a lotus pond too...

The journey took 1 hour and 30 minutes from Tanah Lot Temple to Ubud. We were starving when arrived in this restaurant! The staff was expected our arrival once we step into the restaurant! We were bought to our booking Hut by the waitress and took our food order in a polite and humble attitude. I like it!

I was worried...how are we gonna finish all these foods! :)

This was One of the BEST Dining Experience we ever had! Relaxing and peaceful in this serene paddy field restaurant! We enjoyed the Balinese Delicacies very much!

The night atmosphere of the Bebek Bengil Restaurant

The foods were satisfied! I love the herbal taste of the Balinese Smoked Duck, I believe we can't taste it somewhere else beside in Ubud, Bali. The Crispy Duck was really crispy and flavorful! Others dishes taste above average! We spend about 2 hours in the restaurant, slowly enjoyed the foods and having our drinks joyfully within the paddy field! Cheers!

The Damage : rp.960,000 (MYR348.00 / USD103.00) included service & tax for 6 adults and 2 children.

There were 2 impressive experiences from the restaurant :-
1)  The waiter was stand-by for service beside our Hut for the whole night!
2)  The honest manager was remind me to claimed back the deposit I had paid for the Balinese Smoked Duck reservation which I almost forgot!

Rated : 4.8/5

Despite the negative reviews of some visitors from the internet. I felt it's worth second visit! I will be back!
