Monkey Forest Road exists to extract maximum rupiah from day-trippers while macaques steal your phone. 80k IDR for basic nasi goreng that costs 25k at Warung Makan Bu Rus on Jl. Raya Pengosekan. The monkeys are aggressive little thieves and restaurants know you're trapped.

Every single warung on the actual Monkey Forest Road charges tourist prices - no exceptions. That 'authentic' bebek betutu costs 150k when it's 60k at local warungs. Walk 10 minutes to Jalan Raya Ubud for identical food without macaque harassment and inflated prices targeting Instagram tourists.
