Alchemy
If any place screams veggie or Ubud more than Alchemy, then we don’t know what it is. Alchemy is the island’s first 100% raw vegan cafe and juice bar, and they serve up a wide array of veggie dishes, smoothies and sweet treats made with organic live food. Create your own salad here with daily changing ingredients like curried vegetables, seasoned nuts and house made sun dried tomatoes, pick up some healthy items at the organic health food store, or check up on your vitals at the holistic clinic in the back.

The Garden Kafe at the Yoga Barn
If all those downward dogs have your stomach rumbling for something fresh, tasty and meat-free, make your way to the Garden Kafe at the Yoga Barn. The focus here is on healing foods and raw living vegan cuisine, although there are some cooked dishes thrown in as well for good measure. Start with a fresh juice before moving onto heartier fare like the Raw Tacos, Lasagna and Mini Pizzas. The Garden Kafe also offers special Detox and Ayurvedic Rejuvenation menus.
