Ketela Eatery & Lifestyle in Canggu has rapidly risen to tie for the highest rating on this list with its innovative approach to Indonesian comfort food reimagined entirely plant-based. The Ketela Fried 'Chicken' using sweet potato and jackfruit is borderline miraculous—crispy, savory, and so convincing that first-timers often double-check it's actually vegan. The minimalist-chic interior and friendly service create an inviting atmosphere for everyone from families to business lunches, while the lifestyle shop offers sustainable products to browse while waiting for your table. Their es campur dessert is the perfect sweet ending with tropical fruits and coconut ice.
Plant Bistro occupies a privileged position along the scenic Campuhan Ridge Walk, offering sweeping valley views that make every meal feel like a special occasion. Their Tempeh Satay Platter is the standout—house-marinated tempeh skewers grilled to smoky perfection and served with peanut sauce that rivals any meat-based version in Bali. The tranquil setting attracts couples seeking romantic lunches and hikers rewarding themselves after the ridge walk with nourishing bowls and fresh-pressed juices. The sunset views from the terrace are simply magical, making reservations essential during golden hour.
Herb Library Bali is part restaurant, part herbal apothecary, offering a unique dining experience where traditional Balinese healing meets contemporary vegan cuisine.

Set in a beautifully restored traditional compound in Ubud, it appeals to culturally curious travelers and wellness seekers wanting an authentic yet plant-based taste of Bali. The on-site herbal medicine shop makes it easy to take the healing home with you.
Shady Shack is the OG of Canggu's vegan scene, serving health-focused breakfast and lunch in a charming garden setting that feels like eating in a friend's tropical backyard. Their Nourish Bowl has achieved cult status among the wellness crowd—a generous portion of quinoa, roasted sweet potato, avocado, and tahini dressing that fuels surfers and yogis through their morning sessions. The laid-back communal vibe attracts solo travelers and groups of friends who don't mind sharing tables with fellow plant-based enthusiasts. Arrive early on weekends as this local favorite fills up fast.
Sage has quietly earned a devoted following in Ubud for its creative Asian-fusion approach to plant-based cuisine and stunning rice field panoramas.

The open-air setting with sweeping views makes it ideal for leisurely weekend brunches or sunset dinners with friends who appreciate thoughtful, beautifully plated food. Their cold-pressed juices and raw desserts round out a menu that balances indulgence with nutrition.
I am Vegan Babe has become a Canggu institution with its playful name and seriously good comfort food that draws surfers, digital nomads, and families alike. The Rainbow Buddha Bowl is their Instagram-famous signature—a colorful explosion of roasted vegetables, tahini dressing, and perfectly seasoned tempeh that's as nourishing as it is photogenic. The casual, beachy vibe and affordable prices make it perfect for groups or solo diners who want substantial portions without breaking the bank. Their smoothie bowls are equally beloved, especially the Babe Bowl loaded with tropical fruits and crunchy granola.
Tanaman at Desa Potato Head represents the sophisticated side of plant-based dining, where innovative Indonesian-inspired dishes meet sleek, modern design. The Rendang Jackfruit is a masterclass in texture and flavor, slow-cooked until the fruit mimics tender beef in a complex spice paste that would impress even the most devoted carnivore. Located within the iconic Potato Head Beach Club complex, it attracts a stylish crowd looking for upscale vegan dining before hitting the pool or beach club. The cocktail program featuring fresh herbs and house-made shrubs is equally impressive as the food.
Wild Vegan Healing Restaurant lives up to its name with a menu designed by a nutritionist that feels more like edible medicine than typical restaurant fare. Their Chakra Bowl is the signature order—a meticulously balanced combination of superfoods, sprouted grains, and adaptogenic ingredients that somehow tastes indulgent despite being incredibly healthy. The jungle-garden setting in central Ubud creates an intimate, almost sacred dining experience perfect for solo travelers on wellness retreats or health-conscious couples. Everything here is gluten-free, organic, and prepared with healing intentions you can genuinely taste.
Moksa Ubud is a farm-to-table pioneer that literally grows most of its ingredients on-site in permaculture gardens you can stroll through before your meal.
