Travel can be a vegan dream or a challenge, and Bali stands out as one of the best destinations for plant-based cuisine. From lush jungle cafés in Ubud to ocean-view restaurants in Canggu, the island offers a vibrant and diverse vegan food scene.

In this guide, I’ll share 25 of the best vegan restaurants in Bali, organised by area, so you can plan your trip knowing exactly where to find mouthwatering vegan meals.

⭐ My Top Picks (If You Only Have Time For a Few)

• ⭐ Alchemy Bali: my top pick in Ubud, try the avo caesar
• ⭐ Moksa Ubud: for the setting alone, plus a genuinely good raw pizza
• ⭐ I Am Vegan Babe: best vegan waffles in Canggu
• ⭐ Kynd Community: the Seminyak spot everyone talks about, and it holds up
• ⭐ Lola’s Cantina Mexicana: best vegan tacos on the list

Ubud: Heart Of Bali’s Vegan Scene

1. Alchemy Bali (📍 Maps)
   Alchemy Bali was Bali’s first fully raw, organic, vegan restaurant, open since 2011. I’d order the avo caesar, people call it one of the best vegan caesar salads they’ve had, and save room for the desserts and milkshakes. It gets busy and runs a little pricey, but the quality holds up.
2. Moksa Ubud (📍 Maps)
   Moksa Ubud sits in a genuine permaculture garden, and the view alone is worth the trip. I’d order the raw pizza or the fried mushroom dish, both get called out as standouts, alongside the tempeh ribs and jackfruit tacos.
3. Zest Ubud (📍 Maps)
   One of the oldest vegan spots in Ubud, and Zest Ubud is my pick for breakfast specifically, the smoothie bowls are the reason to go. It also doubles as a venue for cacao ceremonies and ecstatic dance if you want to make a morning of it.
4. Clear Café (📍 Maps)
   Clear Café is beautiful, open, and airy, which is exactly why it gets so busy. Reviews on the food itself are mixed, some found it average for the price, so treat this one as a scenery stop with a solid vegan section rather than the best meal in Ubud.
5. Seeds of Life (📍 Maps)
   A 100% raw vegan spot that’s been running since 2014. I’d order the tacos or the raw pizza at Seeds of Life, both get consistent praise, though a few reviewers found other dishes just okay, so pick from the menu’s proven favorites rather than experimenting.

Canggu: Vegan Paradise By The Beach

6. Plant Theory (📍 Maps)
   Plant Theory leans into comfort food, loaded burritos and vegan mac and cheese are the dishes on the menu I’d start with if you want something filling after a day at the beach.
7. The Shady Shack (📍 Maps)
   One of Canggu’s most iconic vegetarian spots, and the pulled jackfruit with vegan feta sauce at The Shady Shack is the dish to order. A few reviews mention the food running a little bland or pricier than other options nearby, so season to taste and go in for the atmosphere as much as the food.
8. I Am Vegan Babe (📍 Maps)
   I Am Vegan Babe does the best vegan waffles and cinnamon rolls I’ve had in Canggu, and the poke bowl’s plant-based prawns are the most convincing I’ve tried. It’s a little expensive but consistently good.
9. Café Organic (📍 Maps)
   The acai bowls and buffalo cauliflower wings at Café Organic are what people recommend most, and the whole menu is vegetarian and vegan-friendly by design, so you can order without checking twice.
10. Crate Café – A mix of vegan and vegetarian options, famous for creative brunch dishes and coffee.

Sanur: A Calm Vegan Escape

11. Warung Little Bird (📍 Maps)
    A quick honest note: Warung Little Bird is a well-loved local warung with big, tasty portions, but it isn’t run as a dedicated vegan spot, so double-check what’s plant-based when you order rather than assuming the whole menu is meat-free.
12. Soul in a Bowl (📍 Maps)
    Another honest note: reviews on the vegan options at Soul in a Bowl have been mixed, with some finding the sauces and plant-based mains underwhelming. I’d treat this as a backup rather than a must-visit on this list.
13. Genius Café (📍 Maps)
    Genius Café sits right on Sanur beach, and I’d order the smoothie bowl, it’s consistently the best-reviewed item. A few reviewers found the nachos and shawarma just average, so lean toward the bowls and drinks menu.
14. Sauce Tree Sanur (📍 Maps)
    One of Sanur’s only fully vegan cafes, and I’d order the cauli bites or a burger at Sauce Tree Sanur. It’s worth calling ahead to confirm hours since some listings show mixed information on whether it’s still open.

Seminyak: Stylish Vegan Dining

1. Earth Café & Market (📍 Maps)
   A pioneer of Bali’s vegan scene, running since 2006. Earth Café & Market has an enormous menu, tofu omelettes, cashew-cheese tacos, veggie burgers, and I’d say go in patient, since service and wait times can be inconsistent when it’s busy.
2. Café Organic Seminyak (📍 Maps)
   The acai bowl at Café Organic Seminyak is the one to order, described again and again as both delicious and satisfying, alongside the beet burger and pulled jackfruit bao buns.
3. Kynd Community (📍 Maps)
   The pink walls and pink smoothies make Kynd Community one of the most photographed cafes in Seminyak, but the food generally backs it up too, the smoothie bowls and the Kynd Big Mac are the ones to order. Reviews do vary on service, so go in with a relaxed mindset rather than a tight schedule.
4. Tasty Vegan – A small, friendly, and fully vegan restaurant that specializes in plant-based Indonesian classics and Western comfort food. Known for their vegan satay, mock meat dishes, and excellent vegan cakes and desserts.

Uluwatu & Jimbaran: Coastal Vegan Gems

1. Circle Point Vegan Eatery (📍 Maps)
   A fully vegan menu at genuinely low prices. I’d order the banh mi or a rice bowl at Circle Point Vegan Eatery. The kitchen runs slow, so this isn’t the spot if you’re in a hurry, but it’s worth the wait.
2. Drifter Surf Shop (📍 Maps)
   Good vegan nachos, mushroom ramen, and genuinely good vegan gelato at Drifter Surf Shop, right near the surf break. A relaxed spot to refuel between sessions.
3. Lola’s Cantina Mexicana (📍 Maps)
   I’d order the vegan chorizo and sweet potato taco at Lola’s Cantina Mexicana, along with the buffalo cauliflower, both get singled out as some of the best versions people have had. Staff double-check with the kitchen on what’s actually vegan, which is a good sign.

Other Bali Areas Worth Exploring

1. Gaya Gelato (📍 Maps)
   About half the flavors at Gaya Gelato are dairy-free, chocolate-orange and passionfruit are the ones I’d start with, and they’ll let you mix flavors in one cup.
2. Good Stuff Cafe & Eco Store (📍 Maps)
   A community-focused cafe and eco-store on Bali’s quieter east coast. Good Stuff Cafe & Eco Store is a good stop if you’re exploring Amed and want a healthy, casual meal away from the more touristed areas.
3. Dayu’s Warung (📍 Maps)
   A quick note on location: most current listings for Dayu’s Warung place it in Ubud rather than Sidemen, so confirm before you go out of your way. Reviewers do praise the fresh, minimally seasoned Balinese, Indian, and Italian dishes, and the tempeh pumpkin lasagna in particular.
4. Akar Cafe (Lovina, North Bali) – It’s often cited as the best vegetarian and vegan-friendly cafe in the Lovina area, offering fresh, clearly-labeled options in a part of Bali where dedicated vegan spots are rare.
