🌿 How to pick the right vegetarian/vegan restaurant

Bali’s veg scene caters to different vibes and budgets. Before you lock something in, decide what matters most: location (Ubud’s wellness hub vs. Canggu’s beach clubs), style (raw living foods vs. hearty comfort), and whether you want full vegan or flexible vegetarian with lots of GF choices.

🧘 Ubud for wellness

Expect yoga-adjacent menus, tonic bars, fermented goodies, raw desserts, and leafy spaces. Great for slow mornings and mindful lunches.

🌊 Canggu for sun & surf

Think big brekkies, smoothie bowls, burgers, pasta, and a social scene. Perfect after a beach session or a breezy scooter ride along the shortcuts.

🍽️ Top vegetarian & vegan picks by area

🌳 Ubud favourites

Ubud is Bali’s beating heart for plant-based food — from raw culinary academies to permaculture gardens. Start central and work your way toward Penestanan and Sayan for jungle views.

  • Sayuri Healing Food 100% vegan • raw-forward • academy — beloved for living foods, activated nuts & seeds, raw cakes, and community events. Check their current menu (often updated) and workshops if you’re keen to learn.
  • The Seeds of Life 100% raw vegan • tonic bar • yoga — a raw-food icon with Taoist tonics and a Mysore Ashtanga community. Ideal for clean-eating days that still feel indulgent.
  • Moksa plant-based • permaculture garden — farm-to-table flavours, jackfruit wizardry, and serene garden seating just outside the main bustle.
  • The Elephant 100% vegetarian • Campuhan ridge views — relaxed terrace dining with veg crowd-pleasers and easy vegan/GF tweaks.
  • KAFE Ubud vegetarian-friendly • juices • all-day — a reliable classic: wholesome soups, bowls, and brekkies with lots of plant-based options.
  • Alchemy plant-based • salads & raw treats • wellness hub — one of Bali’s OGs for plant-forward dining, now part of a bigger wellness ecosystem.
  • Zest Ubud vegan • vibrant • night-friendly — playful, Balinese-inspired comfort dishes in a lively, eclectic space — great for groups.

Handy tip: Ubud evenings book out in high season. If you’re planning a later dinner, make a quick reservation (especially for Zest or Alchemy’s peak slots).

🏄 Canggu & surrounds

Canggu leans social and hearty: big brunches, lush bowls, crispy sides, and vegan takes on pub-ish comfort food. Most spots are walk-in friendly by day; for dinners, consider booking.

  • KYND Community 100% plant-based • Seminyak, Canggu, Uluwatu — iconic smoothies, burgers, and a cheeky “peacezza” menu. Bright, colourful, consistently fun.
  • The Shady Shack vegetarian • rice-field outlook — a Canggu staple with feel-good mains, hearty salads, and those sneaky-good desserts.
  • I Am Vegan Babe 100% vegan • all-day • modern comfort — known for generous plates, burgers, pancakes, and a lively, social vibe right in the action.

Heads up: venues come and go in Canggu; always check the latest hours on Instagram or the official site before you ride out.

💡 Ordering & budget tips (Aussie-traveller edition)

  • Gluten-free? Most Ubud venues are clued-up — ask for GF bread/wrap swaps and check symbols on menus.
  • Protein pick-me-ups Look for tempeh, tofu, jackfruit, legumes, nut cheeses. Raw venues often pack extra nuts/seeds.
  • Heat & spice Bali sambal packs a punch. Request “mild” if you’re easing in, or “pedas banget” if you’re game.
  • Water & ice Reputable cafés use filtered water. If your tummy’s sensitive, stick to sealed bottles or ask staff.
  • Bookings Dinner slots at Zest, KYND, and Alchemy can fill quickly — reserve if you’re in a group.
  • Payments Card-friendly, but keep small notes for tips and scooters. Some add a service fee; scan the bill.

❓ FAQs

Is Bali easy for vegans and vegetarians?
Absolutely. Ubud is a full-blown plant-based haven, Canggu is stacked with vegan cafés, and Seminyak offers polished options. You’ll find dedicated vegan spots plus veggie-friendly menus almost everywhere.
Do I need to book?
Brekkies and lunches are mostly walk-in friendly. For dinner — especially at lively places like Zest or KYND — booking helps, particularly in peak season or with bigger groups.
What should I try that’s uniquely Balinese but vegan?
Look for plant-based renditions of local staples like nasi campur, tempeh dishes, jackfruit “rendang” or “betutu” styles, and coconut-based desserts. Many menus highlight local greens and sambals with creative vegan twists.
