In general Ubud is incredibly well supplied with fine restaurants, cafes and foodstalls of almost every variety, from Mexican to Japanese to German to Italian and so on ad infinitum. Standards of hygeine are generally excellent in all restaurant, and even in the foodstalls. Water served if always either bottled or sterlised by boiling, and the ice is safe, too. So don't worry too much, just drive right in and eat whatever and whenever you feel like it.
