Gone are the days when going vegan meant settling for alfalfa sprouts and salads. At these vegan restaurants in Bali, even die-hard carnivores will want to go sans-meat...
It seems like only yesterday that vegans in Bali were seen as extreme eaters – rare, mythical creatures that surely couldn’t survive at “regular” restaurants. But these days, veganism is the norm, and vegan restaurants in Bali are popping up faster than our almond milk flat whites are going down.
We’re not just talking healthy salads and smoothie bowls here either. Across the island, you can find everything from vegan warungs and fast food restaurants, to vegan fine dining and everything in between. Pulled jackfruit? Check. Tempe burgers with cashew cheese? Double check. Creamy bowls packed with protein-rich veggies and legumes? Check, check, check. These delish and nutrish plant-based dishes are changing the way we eat, and even die-hard carnivores are taking the leap towards a greener, more sustainable lifestyle.
So without further adieu, here’s our list of Bali’s best vegan restaurants – from wholly vegan eateries to vegetarian restaurants with vegan-friendly options, here’s where you’ll find the best plant-based cuisine in Bali.
Selamat makan, Honeys!
THE BEST VEGAN RESTAURANTS IN CANGGU
Peloton Supershop
Ahhh Peloton – one of our forever faves. This wholly vegan café is an emporium of all things plant-and-pedal-powered – a Canggu icon that’s a huge hit with the vegan crowds and non-vegans alike. That says a lot about the food repertoire here, which has been curated by a troupe of chefs and vegan foodies. Cool and breezy with industrial vibes, tuck into brekkie burritos, big salad bowls and the oh-so creamy cheesy lasagne. The imitation meats here are some of the best around, too.

I Am Vegan Babe
This boundary-pushing, plant-based Canggu cafe is a vegan game-changer, with cruelty-free cuisine that you’d never know is sans-meat or dairy unless someone told you. There are BLTs stuffed with vegan fried eggs and creamy vegannaise, pancakes stacked sky-high and chunky sandwiches that are impossibly cheesy – the kind that sticks to the roof of your mouth and melts into a delicious gooinesss. Meanwhile, the burgers are so big, so juicy and so gluttonous, you could almost call them beefy. But don’t worry health-nuts, there’s also plenty of salads, wraps, colourful bowls and juices here too, wrapped up in the cafes tropi-chic interiors.
I Am Vegan Babe, Jl Tanah Barak No. 49, Canggu. Open daily, 7am – 5pm.
The Shady Shack
Tropical al fresco vibes, shabby-chic interiors and an entirely vegetarian menu with vegan options aplenty – The Shady Shack is one of Canggu’s most popular cafes, and for good reason. This super duper healthy spot dishes up delish signatures like the Japanese-inspired Nori Bowl, the juicy Shack Attack burger, sweet potato gnocchi (with almond feta!) and a rainbow of raw desserts, from brekkie and brunch through to lunch and dinner. Grab a cold coconut and lounge beneath the palms, or boost that immune system with a turmeric latte. So much yum.

GIVE Café
Just like your favourite warung (but with a plant-based twist!) GIVE Cafe dishes up wholly vegan Indonesian food alongside a Nasi Campur display of meat-less chicken, “pork” satay, heaps of veggies, cruelty-free sauces and sambals, and even Indonesia’s famous Beef Rendang given a mushroomy new look. But that’s not all. GIVE Café donates 100% of its profits to charity, meaning your Nasi Goreng Special (with a vegan fried egg) could help save a life or support a village. This kind and creative concept is of course from the same peeps who gave us the plant-based KYND Community cafe in Seminyak, and just like it’s bigger sister, it’s 100% vegan, and 1000% delicious.
GIVE Cafe, Jl Padang Linjong No.85, Canggu, p. +62 818 0566 4720. Open daily 11am – 8pm.

Think homemade sweet potato tacos drizzled with Sriracha and an Indonesian chimichurri. Or how about the sliders, stuffed with local jackfruit that’s been marinated in a sticky barbecue sauce. Yup, these guys are on a mission to make veganism mainstream, by dishing up all of your fave dishes in a way that’s both familiar and freakin’ delicious.

We love the homey vibe at Quince, not only in the interiors and atmosphere (it kinda feels like you’re sitting in the owner’s living room) but also the colourful, healthy and oh-so wholesome dishes that have clearly had a whole lotta love, care and finesse put into them. Try the coconut crumpets, the roast vegetable terrine, or our fave, the potato and herb rosti stack with beetroot hummus, chickpeas, coriander and a cashew cream.

Plant Cartel
Plant Cartel is living proof that vegans don’t just survive on lettuce. You won’t find any healthy soul bowls or macrobiotic raw food here at this Canggu trailblazer.

As such, the menu reads like a carby dream, from the Double Pleeseburger, The PcMuffin and Popcorn Chick’n, to the vegan hotdog, Mac & Pleese and loaded fries with a mountain of gooiness. Sorry Maccas, this is fast food of the future.
