Paon Escape

The cooking class in Ubud was an absolute highlight during our stay in Bali! We were picked up directly from our accommodation and our driver/cooking instructor Made was super friendly and made sure we felt completely at ease. The class took place in an outdoor kitchen with a wonderful view of the jungle. During the garden tour, we got to harvest fresh vegetables and herbs directly for our dishes, sample fruits straight from the tree, and learned a lot about the plants used in Balinese cuisine. Afterwards, we were guided step by step through the preparation of the dishes, while also learning a great deal about Balinese culture, the ingredients used, and the local cuisine. The combination of warm hospitality, fascinating insights into Balinese culture, and cooking together made the class an unforgettable experience with wonderful memories. We wholeheartedly recommend this class and are so grateful for the beautiful experience! 🙏🏼

Enjoyed learning to cook here. Very satisfying with the beautiful views and gardens. Best cooking class in Bali.

We had a wonderful time on the farm; the food, the cooking, and the tour of the farm were all worth the money. We would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to be right there with the farm! Our two chefs were as welcoming as the farm itself – a perfect evening. The food was super fresh, as we harvested it ourselves, and incredibly delicious – yum!

Everything was well prepared, and the team made us feel comfortable throughout the activity. The setting is peaceful and perfect for anyone looking for something different in Ubud. Highly recommended for nature escape.

The scenery is absolutely stunning surrounded by lush nature, creating a peaceful and authentic atmosphere. What made it even more special was using fresh ingredients picked directly from the garden. It added such a unique and genuine touch to the whole cooking experience. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and helpful, making everything feel smooth and enjoyable. The cooking class itself was exciting and insightful I learned so much about traditional Balinese food and cooking techniques. I left feeling happy, inspired, and more connected to the local culture. Truly a memorable experience.

I got authentic insights into Balinese cuisine – from the ingredients and recipes to the actual preparation of the dishes. Made was the perfect buddy for this: he explained and showed everything so clearly, and I learned a lot :) The surroundings are absolutely beautiful! We were also taken on a tour of their own eco farm, where different ingredients were shown to us right where they grow – such a nice touch. I can definitely recommend this cooking class! Thank you for this wonderful experience – and a special thanks to Made 🙏✨

It was amazing to have our time here. The cooking class with a visit in the farm before is a really grounding experience, meanwhile the guys was rrally helpful. Epan was really helpful and not just teached cooking but let us get into the farming stories, culture of Bali and his life experiences. Our food was delicious of course, cuz we made it😄

Learning to cook here feels very peaceful and refreshing. The surrounding views are still natural village plantations, and I really enjoyed the experience.

One of the most genuine cooking experiences I’ve had in Bali. Picking fresh ingredients straight from the farm, cooking with that mountain & jungle view, and actually enjoying every step of the process. Paon Escape isn’t just a class, it’s slow living at its best. Thank you.

The class was fun, authentic, and easy to follow. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the food turned out absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a real Balinese cooking experience!

The garden is very spacious and beautiful. I could pick fresh fruits, vegetables, and cooking ingredients directly from the garden to use during the cooking class. Such a wonderful experience!

We visited Paon Escape Cooking Class and had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. A huge thank you to Wardani, Arman, and the entire team for being such lovely hosts. We truly enjoyed exchanging stories, learning recipes, and experiencing authentic Balinese culture in such a personal way. What made this experience so special was the beautiful farm-to-table concept. Harvesting our own vegetables and cooking everything from scratch. We also got to taste fresh Balinese oranges and passionfruit straight from the farm — both incredibly sweet and delicious. We even brought back a small handful of Balinese chilies and some wonderfully aromatic ginger from their farm for just 20,000 IDR. The market visit was also something completely new for us and such an eye-opening experience. It was so refreshing to escape the tourist traps, crowds, and overly touristy places. My husband and I had a private session, with the whole place to ourselves. The pickup was smooth, and the driver, Yantika, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. For an additional 100k, he kindly dropped us back at our hotel, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something authentic, peaceful, and memorable in Bali.

Walking through the large garden and picking fresh ingredients before cooking made the experience feel natural and truly authentic to Bali

We had the most amazing experience. From the moment we were picked up by Wayan until the end of the day, everything was easy, professional and unforgettable. We now have a selection of delicious recipes to cook at home and memories we will not forget.

Learning to cook Balinese food here was really fun! Even though it was my first time, I felt comfortable right away. The atmosphere is so cool and refreshing-probably because it's still surrounded by lots of greenery

If you’re looking for an authentic local experience, I highly recommend Paon Escape cooking classes, located just north of Ubud (they offer free central pick-up points, which makes getting there easy). The food cooked was some of the best I tasted in Bali, and being able to pick fresh ingredients straight from the garden was a real highlight🍃We learned so much while having a lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to trying a few Balinese dishes in my own kitchen. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the whole afternoon thoroughly enjoyable. Suksma, to the team at Paon Escape, I’ll definitely be back next time I visit Bali 🙏
