Looking for the best vegan restaurants in Bali?
Then you’re in the right place!
Bali is a great destination for vegan travelers, with tons of amazing plant-based restaurants spread across the island.
That being said, traditional Indonesian cuisine isn’t typically vegan, and not all restaurants offer plant-based options, so it’s necessary to do some research—or simply read the list below.
After spending time living in Bali and visiting countless times beyond that, I’ve had the chance to eat at a variety of spots: casual warungs, high-end eateries, hip cafes, and everything in between.
To help you find the best vegan food Bali has to offer, I’ve compiled my favorite restaurants with delicious meat-free menus below. The post is organized by destination to help you easily find a vegan restaurant nearby!
Best Vegan Restaurants In Ubud
1. Alchemy
Address: Jl. Penestanan Kelod No.75, Sayan
Alchemy is a crowd favorite in Bali, and it’s 100% vegan. They just opened a second location in Uluwatu, but the original restaurant is just outside Ubud near the Campuhan Ridge Walk.
I love Alchemy because of its comfortable, boho atmosphere, open-air seating, and consistently fresh ingredients.
They have loads of vegan options on the menu, but if you can only dine here once, order from their salad bar. It’s 100% customizable and one of the best salads you can get in Bali.
Alchemy is also a renowned yoga house with a few of the island’s best yoga classes, training, and the occasional vegan yoga retreat!
2. Moksa
Address: Ubud II Kutuh, Jl. Puskesmas, Sayan
Moksa appears on almost every list of the best places to eat in Ubud, and for good reason! It’s a semi-fancy restaurant with a beautiful plate presentation and a view of the permaculture garden from which most ingredients are sourced.
The owner has been the head chef of Moksa for over nine years and knows how to bring rich flavor to even the most simple dishes. Usually, there’s a “chef’s special” on the menu, but if not, I’d still ask for his recommendation and just go with it.
As you might expect, it’s not the most affordable, but it’s well worth it if you splurge one evening in Ubud.
3. Zest
Address: Jl. Penestanan No.7, Sayan
One of the most aesthetic vegan restaurants in Ubud is Zest, which is full of artistic decor and comfortable seating that overlooks a small valley with dense greenery.
It’s the kind of place you could come on a slower afternoon to have dinner and then bury your nose in a book for a few hours over dessert.
Plus, the entire menu is vegan and they offer gluten-free options for nearly all their dishes.
Zest is well known for its vegan burgers, which might be the best in Bali. Also, anything using their in-house cacao is a must-try!
4. Herbivore
Address: Jl. Dewisita No.10, Ubud
Save this fine-dining restaurant for a special night out. It’ll be the highlight of your Ubud itinerary.
Right next to Ubud Market, Herbivore is a multi-course vegan experience featuring an open kitchen with modern decor—and their food is on par with a Michelin-starred restaurant.
There are three menu options: a 3-course meal, a 5-course meal, and a 7-course meal. For the full experience, order from the long menu with a curated drink pairing! (rice-based alcohol/non-alcoholic cocktails).
Note: This spot is popular, so advance reservations are recommended.
5. Sawobali
Address: Jl. Sukma Kesuma No.19, Peliatan
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Sawobali is the most casual and affordable vegan cafe in Ubud.
The homey restaurant serves a completely vegan buffet for less than $5 USD, which includes a ton of vegetables, rice, noodles, soups, and other plant-based dishes like coconut floss, fried tempeh, and rice cakes.
You can also order vegan desserts and drinks for a small additional charge.
6. Siboghana Waroeng
Address: Jl. Made Lebah No.36, Peliatan
Tucked away from the main street but still close to the center of Ubud is Siboghana Waroeng, one of the most affordable vegan restaurants on this list.
While the menu is pretty limited with only a few traditional Indonesian vegan dishes, everything tastes really authentic and the service is phenomenal.
A few of the most popular dishes include satay jamar (grilled skewers with peanut sauce), kare noodle (noodles in a coconut curry), and gado gado (vegetable salad with peanut sauce).
7. Atman Kafe
Address: Jl. Hanoman No.38, Ubud & Jl. Hanoman No.43B, Ubud
Atman Nourish Kafe & Atman Kafe are two restaurants on the same street with the same menu.
The only difference is that Atman Nourish Kafe is significantly larger and has a pretty view of some rice fields at the back of the restaurant.
The kitchen isn’t completely vegan, but the options are extensive enough to include on this list, with traditional curries, pad thai, jackfruit tacos, granola bowls, and vegan pizza.
You can also order coffee, tea, healthy juices, and kombucha, similar to what you’d find in other cafes around Ubud.
8. Wild Vegan
Address: Jl. Sugriwa No.16, Padang Tegal Kaja
It’s common for vegan restaurants around Bali to lean into the medicinal properties of plant-based food, but Wild Vegan takes it to another level.
Their self-defined purpose is to curate meals that align with the natural rhythms and wellness of the body through organic, medicinal ingredients.
Does it actually make a difference? I don’t know, but the food is so good that I’d go back regardless, especially for the BBQ tofu skewers!
9. Sayuri Healing Food
Address: Jl. Sukma Kesuma No.2, Peliatan
Another must-visit for health-conscious vegans is Sayuri Healing Food Café—which strives to be more than just a cafe, with yoga classes, live music, and food workshops centered around holistic health.
Their cafe menu reflects that ethos with a wide range of raw, gluten-free, and vegan options.
Some of the most unique vegan meals are the breakfast burrito with corn and cashew scrambled “egg,” the Loco Moco with a vegan fried egg and jackfruit patty, and the vegan mac & cheese bowl.
10. The Seeds of Life
Address: Jl. Gootama No.2, Ubud
Seeds of Life is a raw vegan restaurant at the center of Ubud, yet it still feels like a hole-in-the-wall.
The restaurant seeks to promote health and vitality through its food, which is why the entire menu is 100% raw vegan.
I also love this eatery because they get super creative, with options like raw lasagna, pesto sunflower seed burgers, shritaki pad thai (made with low-carb, gluten-free shirataki noodles), and their famous SOL Bowl featuring rotating seasonal ingredients and housemade sauce.
Seating is pretty limited, but if you don’t mind sitting on the floor you can head upstairs, where tables and cushions have been added to the open-air yoga studio (don’t worry—it’s super clean).
11. Sage
Address: Emas, Jl. Nyuh Bulan No.1, MAS, Kecamatan Ubud
Sage is a laid-back, open-air boho restaurant just south of the Monkey Forest in Ubud.
They’re open all day and offer a variety of vegan comfort food dishes—like Penang curry, jackfruit asada tacos, tempeh mushroom rendang (a plant-based version of a slow-cooked Indonesian curry), kichari burgers with lentil and rice patties, BLTs, vegan pancakes, and more.
Sage is also well known for its coffee and vegan dessert menu. I’d specifically recommend the coconut cake!
Best Vegan Restaurants in Canggu
12. The Cure
Address: Jl. Pantai Berawa No.40, Tibubeneng
The Cure Health Kitchen is a fully plant-based spot in the Berawa area that focuses on clean, wholesome ingredients.
Their kitchen uses zero processed foods, GMOs, seed oils, or MSG, which is a refreshing change from many of the surrounding restaurants in Canggu.
If you’re in town for a few days, this place is excellent for takeaway food and generous portions. They even offer a free one-day juice cleanse program for new customers!
13. Secret Spot
Address: Jl. Tanah Barak No.7, Canggu & Jl. Pantai Berawa No.44, Tibubeneng
Secret Spot’s vegan menu is huge, and the vibe is perfect for grabbing a coffee between surf and yoga sessions in the morning, finishing up some work, or getting dinner and drinks with friends.
They have two locations—Berawa and Canggu—so it’s easy to stop by no matter where you’re staying in town.
The entire menu is vegan-friendly and pretty affordable. You should try the pumpkin soup, coconut curry, or the vegan poke bowl. Also, the vegan, gluten-free bread is my favorite in Bali!
14. Oma Jamu Vegan
Address: 945V+Q92, Canggu
Oma Jamu Vegan is an extremely popular warung (small local eatery) in Canggu, offering some of the best value for your money in Bali.
No matter what time of day you come, expect a large variety of fried veggies and tofu dishes, along with classic breakfast options like porridge, pancakes, and fresh fruit.
Like most traditional warungs, the food is served “cafeteria style.” You can order by item, but their most popular menu item is the five-dish buffet, which includes rice and four other options for less than $3 USD.
15. Alkaline
Address: Serenity Eco Guesthouse and Yoga, Jl. Nelayan No.Banjar, Canggu
Alkaline’s motto is “Let our food be your medicine. ” This is actually the vegan restaurant located out front of the vegan-friendly Serenity Eco Guesthouse.
The kitchen uses only whole food ingredients, and the entire dessert menu is gluten, dairy, egg, and sugar-free!
If you only have time to visit once, try the cacao bliss bowl for breakfast or their tofu coconut curry for lunch or dinner.
16. Shady Shack
Address: Jl. Tanah Barak No.53, Canggu
Shady Shack has been around since 2016 and was one of the very first sustainable vegan restaurants to open in Canggu.
In addition to the all-day breakfast, they also serve great Buddha bowls, salads, jackfruit tacos, and even cauliflower steak.
It’s right down the road from Echo Beach, and the prices are slightly more affordable than those of other popular vegan spots in Canggu.
17. I AM VEGAN BABE
Address: Jl. Tanah Barak No.49, Canggu
I Am Vegan Babe is a chic vegan restaurant just down the road from Echo Beach in Canggu.
The spot has two floors typically packed with people eating breakfast or getting some work done over coffee.
You won’t find anything animal-derived on the menu, but it’s one of the best restaurants to bring your meat-loving friends because they have all the substitutes you could ask for, from plant-based bacon burritos to plant-based ground beef burgers and plant protein powders.
They’ll easily be able to find something familiar on the menu.
18. Manggis
Address: Jl. Pemelisan Agung No.7, Tibubeneng
Manggis is on the south side of Canggu and is known for its diverse menu of European and East Asian-inspired dishes—such as wasabi croquettes, katsu curry, and ‘chicken’ shawarma. Manggi’s also has some of the best vegan cheesecake you’ll ever eat!
While most vegan restaurants in Bali serve primarily Western food, my favorite part of Manggis is that they turn some of my favorite local Indonesian dishes vegan.
You can find plant-based satay, jackfruit rendang, nasi campur (mixed rice with assorted sides), and more.
Best Vegan Restaurants In Seminyak
19. KYND Community
Address: Jalan Petitenget No.12 Kerobokan Kelod, Seminyak
KYND Community is a trendy pink-themed vegan café located in Seminyak and Canggu.
It’s a great place for brunch or dinner, with an extensive menu of vegan options, from pasta to burritos to butter chicken curry and cauliflower wings.
The other cool thing about KYND is that it’s more than a restaurant. It has a Koncept Store (located onsite) and a School of Kyndness (plant-based cooking course) that helps people learn to cook more flavorful vegan food.
20. Mad Pops
Address: Jl. Kayu Aya No.48, Seminyak
Mad Pops started as a small popsicle shop nearly a decade ago and has grown into one of the most popular dessert shops in Bali with three different locations in Seminyak, Ubud, and Uluwatu.
They’ve also expanded their menu from coconut popsicles to also serve coconut ice cream!
21. Nourish Cafe
Another quality vegan restaurant in Seminyak is Nourish Cafe.
This restaurant isn’t 100% vegan, but I’m including it on this list because their Vegan Morning Glory is easily one of the most delicious vegan dishes in Bali.
It’s their signature “nourish” vegan egg with smashed avocado, onion jam, hashbrown, and a vegan bun topped with vegan hollandaise.
If you end up further south on your trip to Bali, they also have another open-air spot in Uluwatu.
Best Vegan Restaurants In Kuta
22. Sauce Tree Kuta
Address: Jl. Benesari No.6, Kuta
Sauce Tree has a very chill atmosphere, making it a great place to escape the craziness of Kuta for a while.
As one of the top vegan restaurants in the city, it offers some of the most diverse vegan burgers on the island.
Some of these are their vegan double cheeseburger with caramelized onions, grilled “chickun” burgers, and a mushroomy burger.
Other fan favorites include the “Balifornia Burrito” with BBQ tofu/tempeh, the pasta carbonara (the ham tastes exactly like the real thing), and great vegan appetizers like cauliflower wings and corn ribs.
23. Go Vegetarian
Address: Jl. Raya Kuta No.143, Kuta
We’ve mentioned a couple of affordable places to get vegan food in Bali, but Go Vegetarian is the best budget spot in Kuta.
The small, family-owned vegetarian warung serves primarily plant-based food, with the only exception being a handful of dishes that include eggs.
Get the vegan meatball soup or anything with their rice noodles, and you’ll be eager to return as soon as possible.
This is also a great place to order Grab (Food delivery) or takeaway.
24. Happy Buddha
Address: Jl. Raya Kuta No.143, Kuta
Happy Buddha Vegetarian is a simple, budget-friendly warung right off the main drag in Kuta.
Contrary to a traditional warung, all the food is made to order, but prices still sit between 20-30k Indonesian Rupiahs ($1-2 USD) per item. This is perfect for people who want to try a few different vegan dishes for dinner.
As I mentioned, I love it when places create vegan options for my favorite Indonesian dishes, and Happy Buddha is another one of the best! Try the mie bakso (Indonesian noodle soup), satay skewers, vegan rendang, or the crispy pork.
Other Delicious Vegan Restaurants In Bali
25. Giridhari Vegan & Vegetarian (Jimbaran)
Giridhari is a little off the beaten path, but it’s such a homey atmosphere. You can honestly tell that each dish is prepared with love. They even offer cooking classes where you can learn how to make your own mock meat!
If you’re looking for recommendations, the tahu tek (fried tofu with peanut sauce), siobak Singaraja (Balinese roast pork), and pineapple nasi goreng (fried rice with pineapple) are among the most popular dishes.
They also offer local vegan soups like baksa, a savory meatball soup, and soto, a flavorful Indonesian broth-based soup.
Giridhari is also incredibly affordable—nearly all the entrees are under 40k Indonesian Rupiahs ($2.50 USD).
26. Ours (Uluwatu)
Ours is a fancier eatery in the Uluwatu area. It’s not 100% vegan, but they have many vegan options. So, I always tell people this is the best place to go in Uluwatu if you’re the only vegan in your friend group or your partner doesn’t prefer vegan food.
Vegans can get a plant-based chorizo bolognese or a vegan burger, while non-vegans can choose from a full menu of beef and chicken mains.
Ours has two locations in Uluwatu, just a couple of kilometers apart. Ours Uluwatu has a more casual atmosphere and is great for solo travelers in Bali, while Ours Home is better for a romantic night out.
27. KooD (Sanur)
KooD (Kolaborasi Untuk Desa) is a fully vegan self-service kitchen with a mission to support the local community and sustainable living in Bali.
In addition to being 100% plant-based, they also use zero seed oils or white sugar. Plus, every dish is less than 25k Indonesian Rupiahs ($1.50 USD).
The noodles are their big seller, particularly the truffle noodles and bolognese pasta, but you can also find vegan burgers, pizzas, and a full bakery with gelato, bread, and cakes.
28. The Botanist by Deso Eco (Munduk)
North Bali is one of the most challenging areas of Bali to find vegan food, which is why The Botanist has become such a haven for vegans in the hills of Munduk.
It’s not 100% vegan, but they have more options than anywhere else, and the food is delicious.
Surrounded by incredible jungle views, the restaurant offers vegan pizzas, pasta, curry, falafel platters, and sweet pastries. They also have board games and cozy seating if you happen to be in Munduk on a rainy day.
29. Anandinii Organic Garden & Kitchen (Sidemen)
Anandinii is well known for having one of the best vegan cooking classes in Bali; but, if you don’t have time for the whole immersive experience, you can still dine at their onsite restaurant.
It’s out of the way from the major tourist centers of Bali, but if you’re already planning to visit a few of the waterfalls near Ubud or take a day trip to Mount Agung, it’s a great pit stop on the way.
You could also stay somewhere nearby, like Hideout, which has a full-service spa with one of the best flower baths in Bali!
30. Bali Buda
Address: Multiple Locations
Bali Buda has quite a few locations all over Bali, and they’ve been a staple in the health-conscious community for years.
Although the restaurant is not 100% plant-based, it’s another eatery that offers a wide variety of vegan-friendly options.
You can also substitute gluten-free bread with most meals. Some of the ex-pats I’ve met in Bali love coming here for the gluten-free bean burger, vegan tacos, and their vegetarian nasi goreng, and nasi campur.
Bali Buda also has an onsite grocery store to stock up on local, organic ingredients.
Tips For Eating Vegan In Bali
Now that you know where to eat vegan in Bali, let’s go over some tips that can help make sticking to a plant-based diet easier.
Stick to Western restaurants. To be honest, this is one of my least favorite things to do when traveling abroad, but Western restaurants do a better job accommodating vegans’ specific requests and often have clearer labeling than local warungs.
Communicate your dietary restrictions. Always be clear and direct about your vegan preferences, especially at local eateries. The word “vegan” isn’t always understood by locals, so specifying no meat, dairy, eggs, or fish sauce is sometimes necessary. You could even learn the Indonesian phrase, “Saya tidak makan daging, susu, atau telur” (I don’t eat meat, dairy, or eggs).
Bring vegan snacks with you for hikes and waterfalls. Bali’s natural beauty is a big draw for travelers, but these remote areas lack vegan-friendly restaurants. Because of this, it’s a good idea to pack energy bars, nuts, or dried fruit before heading out to visit waterfalls, see the rice terraces, or hike a volcano.
You can make most Balinese dishes vegan. Whether you’re eating nasi goreng, Balinese curry, or gado gado, there’s usually a way to make it vegan without losing too much flavor.
Best vegan food to order. Some of my favorite vegan dishes in Bali include fried tempeh skewers, tofu curries, gado gado, vegan mie goreng/nasi goreng, and jackfruit tacos. I also love it when restaurants serve vegan baksa (meatball soup)!
Vegan Hotels In Bali
To make eating plant-based in Bali easier, some recommendations for vegan hotels in Bali include:
- BeingSattvaa (Ubud)
- Gdas Bali Health & Wellness Resort (Ubud)
- Kalapa Resort & Yoga Retreat (Canggu)
- W Bali (Seminyak)
- Four Points by Sheraton Bali (Kuta)
Whether you’re spending 7 days or 2 weeks in Bali (or more!) these properties offer delicious vegan food, excellent amenities, and great locations.
