Opening Times: 7am-11pm every day

This open air and healthy dining restaurant is at the front of Alaya Resort Jembawan and offers diners an extensive menu with lots of vegan and raw options. We enjoyed vegan breakfasts that were very tasty but the star of the show was our specially created vegan ‘Royal Balinese Tea’ which was so impressive we had other diners asking to photograph it! Be sure to order this in advance if you want the same experience…

Abe-do Organic Warung

Moksa

Moksa
Puskesmas Ubud II
Sayan
Ubud
Bali 80571

Opening Times: 10am-9pm every day

Not only is the food at Moksa beautiful and plant based but the location alone makes it worth a visit. Set in a vibrant permaculture garden the chef creates the most delicious vegan food that is fresh and full of flavour. This was our favourite vegan dining experience in Ubud so we would highly receommend it.

Pumpkin and Beetroot

Sayuri Healing Food

Sayuri Healing Food
JL Sukma kesuma no 2
Ubud
Bali 80571

Opening Times: 7am-10pm every day

This is for sure the place where all the cool kids hang out, it was packed with digital nomads and yogis going about their business safe in the knowledge there was healthy vegan and plant based food available with their almond milk cappuccino. It had a bustling and lively vibe when we visited and was packed, but that didn’t stop our food being served very quickly. The raw cheesecake was delicious, our wrap was very good but the vegan cheese plate was disappointing with not much cheese which also didn’t taste great. We had seen pictures of the cheese plate on their own social media and it looked totally different to what we were served, we would go back for sure but probably not order the cheese plate again…

Clear Cafe

Clear Cafe
Jalan Hanoman No.8
Ubud

Opening Times: 8am-11pm

We had not planned to dine here but upon passing we were both drawn to the large round door and decided to check it out. We are glad we did as our lentil soup was wholesome and delicious as was our vegan lasagna. With so many vegan options in Ubud it is easy to miss out the vegan friendly restaurants but this discovery shows it’s sometimes worth visiting them too, this would be a very good option if dining with non vegan friends.

Warung Green

Warung Green
Jl.A.A. Gede Rai
Lodtunduh
Ubud

Opening Times: 10am-10pm

Warung green is a small buffet style eatery in the area of Ubud called ‘Lodtunduh’. It features a pay by the dish buffet with a range of options between 5k and 20k rupiah per dish. They also feature self serve coffee, tea and kombucha. There is also a self-served dessert bar. One of the interesting features of this restaurant is payment is based on honor system. There is no employee who rings up the bill. Each customer totals their own bill for the dishes they consume.

Alchemy

Alchemy
Jalan Penestanan Kelod No 75
Sayan
Ubud

Opening Times: 7am-9pm every day

Alchemy is the place to go and create your own salads from the super extensive salad bar and also to try their tasty raw cakes full of superfoods. It’s certainly not the cheapest vegan option in Ubud but if you like a giant bowl of yummy salad then this is your place. Here you can read the blog post we wrote about Alchemy back in 2014 when we first visited.

Zest

Zest
Jalan Penestanan Kelod No 7
Sayan
Ubud

Opening Times: 8am-10pm every day

Zest is Ubud’s quintessential bohemian fashion show. A lush garden like setting has man bun spiritualistas reclining on shared sofa seating and wispy fairies in flowing garments swishing through the dining room which features a large tree growing in the center. There is little separation between indoor and outdoor. The menu is expansive and includes 6 types of vegan sushi, 6 different burgers, and 5 varieties of pizza. Main dishes include a Mushroom Schnitzel, Jackfruit Steak, and Cassava Fettuccini. Salads and small sharing dishes round out the menu. The dessert case is full of chocolatey and tropical fruit delights.

Bali Buda Store

Bali Buda Ubud
Jalan Raya Ubud
Ubud

Opening Times: 7am-10pm every day

This is certainly the best palce in Ubud to stock up on all kinds of healthy essentials including some of the excellent ‘All Things Nice’ spices to help re create the flavours of Bali in your own kitchen at home; they also have a well regarded restaurant just around the corner but for some reason we’ve never eaten there.
