Vegetarian Restaurants & Cafes in Bali

Although the sheer abundance of babi guling and ayam bakar on menus and roadside stalls in Bali might have you thinking otherwise, the island really is a haven for vegetarians with plenty of restaurants and cafes offering up everything from super stacked salads to raw vegan treats. For those with tastes that lean towards the green and leafy, we give you Bali’s best vegetarian eateries.

Alchemy-Ubud-Bali

Alchemy

If there’s one spot that defines Ubud’s veggie vibe, it’s Alchemy. This was Bali’s first 100% raw vegan café and juice bar, and it’s still going strong. You can build your own salad with fresh, organic toppings like curried veggies, seasoned nuts, and sun-dried tomatoes. After lunch, shop at the in-house health food store or book a session at their holistic clinic.

Address: Jalan Penestanan, Ubud, Bali

Zest

My favourite vegan place Zest Ubud is a modern restaurant with a jungle view. It fuses global flavors with local ingredients for a bold, fresh menu. Crowd favorites include Jackfruit Rendang, Tempeh Burgers, and plant-based Sushi Rolls. Plus, their smoothie bowls and coffee drinks are beautifully crafted.

Herbivore by Locavore

For a refined dining experience, visit Herbivore by Locavore. This high-end restaurant offers seasonal tasting menus made entirely from local plant-based ingredients. Each dish is artfully plated and changes often to reflect what’s fresh. It’s perfect for a special night out.

Part of the Fivelements Retreat, Sakti Dining Room blends luxury with sustainability. The restaurant overlooks the Ayung River and features dramatic bamboo architecture. Choose from à la carte dishes like Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms and Gado-Gado Rolls, or enjoy a 3, 5, or 7-course vegan tasting menu. Their raw desserts with cacao and vanilla are not to be missed.

Nourish

Located inside the Yoga Barn, this café now goes by the name Nourish. It continues to serve healing foods, raw vegan meals, and a few wholesome cooked options too. Start with a fresh juice, then try their Raw Tacos, Vegan Lasagna, or Mini Pizzas. For deeper wellness, they offer Detox and Ayurvedic Rejuvenation menus.
