    Stunning views and great food? This vegan restaurant offers both! The salad had a lot of different components and came together well. Despite being quite healthy it still managed to be reasonably tasty The overnight oats were incredible. I'm tempted to start making that at home over regular oats. Highly recommend I highly recommend the tempura mushroom sushi, it had such good flavour and unique texture 🤤 They have a dessert cabinet, and it is from there we liberated the apple cheesecake. Very good, would recommend

    Wow this place just amazed me. They bring the zesty spark that light up my day, really. Love the food, the interior, ambience and the unique spot of the restaurant. They have sofas for us to just lay down and relax whilst reading book, or working. During lunch time, it can be very hot there, as direct sunlight will expose to your skin but I love it. The price is good and affordable, and I noticed, most of the customers are spiritual people, which makes me feel comfortable and calm. This restaurant is located next to dragon tea temple and I recommend you to check on that beautiful place!

    Wow! Can I give this extra stars? This was the most amazing restaurant that we visited in Ubud! Don’t miss an opportunity to try it! It is a vegan restaurant, but is hugely popular with non-vegans or non-vegetarians, too. It is a great dining experience for everyone! Because of its popularity, reservations are a must for dinner. If they are totally booked (as they usually are) you can try out tactic (which worked to get a table)- go early! Arrive around 6PM or so to see if they have a table that might be available for an earlier time (which they did for us), or just sit at the bar to eat. They also have some couch areas which are open seating where you can have a snack or a drink. The ambiance is fantastic with Balinese architecture and sculptures, high ceilings, warm lighting, and soft music. The staff and service were excellent. Our food was plated and presented perfectly. I had the fisherman entree, which was surprisingly delicious with perfect texture and a grouping of sauces that made it evenly more special. My wife had the chicken of the woods entree, which was equally delicious. We would definitely highly recommend this restaurant to everyone, and we will definitely return! Prices are moderate. Drink and other menus are equally diverse.

    Delicious spot for vegan food. My only complaints would be that it is a little pricey (for Bali) and it can get hot. Please turn on the fans! Overall, great vegan dishes with no fake substitutes, just wholesome plants! Love that!! So photogenic and Instagram worthy! 😂

    The setting is nice, and food is tasty. But nothing to swipe you off your feet. There's a lot of hype around this place, full or wealthy Westerners. I had a good time but I'm not sure I'll come back. The restaurant is vegan-only, and you can find a good selection of cocktails, mocktails and wines.

    Very bohemian upper-class vegan restaurant with a nice choice of delicious dishes. Not the regular stuff that you get everywhere else. The ambiance is simply amazing. Staff is very friendly and helpful and speaks very well English. It's rather busy, especially in the evening time. They offer some awesome healthy smoothies and drinks. This place is not for people who look for junk food.

    WARNING If you are a young woman attending one of the group discussions be very cautious. My recommendation would be not to join these groups at all. The part owner (Simon) who leads these groups is a spiritual predator. He loves to talk about the “yoni” and will use the word “penetration” over 15 times in one hour🤮. Often he will open a conversation with discussing healing herbs which he will quickly segue to yonis and sexual “healing”. Be aware that the discussion will end with what Simon refers to as a cinnamon roll hug where he will unroll the “cinnamon role” and reposition the group of women multiple times until he has pressed himself against enough of you. I’m cringing thinking about my experience. I just heard word from another woman that she had the same experience which has encouraged me to post this. Ladies, there are plenty of healthy women’s circles in Ubud typically led by women. If you are looking for tantric or sexual healing circles dealing with masculine and feminine energies there are places for that as well. This is not one of them and I’m surprised there aren’t any other reviews regarding this. Please be careful with who has access to you especially if you are on a healing journey. If something doesn’t feel right chances are you are correct. Safe journeys sisters 🙏🏼

    I’m not vegan, but a friend recommended this place so I decided to check it out! I came for lunch and it wasn’t too crowded. The restaurant is BEAUTIFUL and super spacious with tables and chair and couch options. I had the mango passion bowl which looked amazing and also tasted really good! My hubby had the big zest burger and he really liked it! Presentation was great! Staff was friendly and they take credit cards! Their menu is huge, and all vegan. But even if you are not, just come and grab a fruit bowl, you won’t regret it!

    Absolutely delicious vegan fare in an excellent setting. I can't believe some people have moaned about the prices. The portions were good as well. Luckily, during our visit, we were treated to a fantastic live band playing some epic tunes which just made the whole thing an experience I won't forget in a hurry. Have already reserved a table for tomorrow night.

    If you need some fuel for the ridge walk this tree top oasis is well worth the 5 min walk, even if you have you dodge a scooter or two. The matcha frappe was delicious, cold, and you can ask for no sugar so you can still get that nice earthy flavor. The ultimate burger was one of the best mushroom burgers I've ever had. I left ready to hike with a happy belly full of all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

    The staff is so friendly and efficient, the venue is very nice, if you come at night bring some insect repellent. People love this place but I struggle to find their food good. I have tried several dishes and I still don’t get that nami sensation when eating there. Sometimes it lacks of taste in the case of the pesto spaghetti, the burger was average and the pizza with the banana flour is definitely not worth trying it.

    With weekly free talks, women’s circles, concerts and many more events, this 100% vegan restaurant is definitely a place to connect people. Zest is one of the best restaurants we ate in Bali. What I love about a restaurant is when I can try food I never had before in my life in this combination or way of preparation. It truly is a restaurant that inspires me. The portions weren’t very big but together with the smoothies we were full and very satisfied. Most of the food is locally grown whole food. No refined sugar. No bad oils like processed palm oil. Something I am usually only sure about when I cook myself. So if you visit Ubud one day please visit this beautiful place and enjoy it for me ♥️ There is even a huge tree and many other plants growing inside the restaurant. It is worth to check it out ☺️

    A famous restaurant with the worst health protocol in Bali. Their staff didn't use any face mask. From the kitchen staff to waitress, no one use a proper mask. Like zero, none, nada. What a shame considering their "big" reputation. In the same week as we visit, they conducted a "Conscious Business for Newbies" workshop. Such a hypocracy, when they themself are very ignorant of the health protocol. What a joke.

    (Translated by Google) Zest Ubud is a fine vegan restaurant. They specialize in Jackfruit dishes. There is a huge menu for every taste. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful location and some of the tables offer a beautiful view. On my first visit I ordered tuna sushi rolls, pizza and jackfruit steak. The pizza and rolls were wonderful, the sweet potato was served with the steak, very dry. The second time came for breakfast and could not order the main menu. I had to take what is offered for breakfast. I was satisfied with the breakfast, but I wanted to enjoy the dishes that are on the main menu. But it only starts working at 11:00. Therefore, it would be nice if the entire menu was open from morning to evening. The cocoa here is simply magical, I advise everyone. By tradition, I attach a photo of the menu with prices. If the review was helpful to you, do not forget to like it 👍 (Original) Zest Ubud - прекрасный веганский ресторан. Они специализируются на блюдах из Джекфрута. Здесь огромное меню на любой вкус. Сам ресторан находится в красивом месте и с некоторых столиков открывается прекрасный вид. В первое своё посещение заказал суши-роллы туна, пиццу и стейк из джекфрукта. Пицца и роллы были прекрасными, к стейку подавался батат, очень пересушенный. Во второй раз приехал на завтрак и не смог заказать блюда основного меню. Пришлось брать, то что предлагают на завтрак. Завтраком удовлетворен, но хотелось насладится теми блюдами, что есть в основном меню. Но оно начинает работать только с 11:00. Поэтому было бы хорошо, чтобы всё меню работало с утра до вечера. Какао здесь просто волшебный, всем советую. По традиции прикладываю фото меню с ценами. Если отзыв вам был полезен, то не забудьте поставить лайк 👍

    Came here for brunch and was delighted with the service. This vegan restaurant has a tropical, relaxed, zen atmosphere that’s perfect for meeting up with friends or eating solo. We got the avocado toast, onion rings with tartar sauce, and crushed baby potatoes. Would recommend any of them! They have cashew milk, coconut milk and oat milk. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. You should call ahead and make a reservation because this restaurant is really popular. If you’re in Ubud and looking for vegan food, definitely come here!

    Every visit I had here was a 5 star experience. The customer service is great and authentic, the food is mindblowing and excellent vegan cuisine. Try the Schnitzel or meat balls. The atmosphere is so cozy you could spend all day long on their loungers. Highly recommend a visit. Don’t get irritated by the reviews. I don’t know why it’s a 4.3 by this time. Must be a mistake 😜 thanks for everything dear team and keep going.

    When we looked at the menu here it was almost overwhelming how many awesome options they offer. It's also overwhelming just how beautiful this place is. There are many places to sit and so many big windows with gorgeous views. But despite it being huge, there's also a lot of people here! We ended up ordering the spicy cauliflower wings, the peanut butter jelly bowl and the avocado and jackfruit sushi. I was pretty disappointed with the cauliflower wings - they were said to be spicy but were not spicy, and there was just a lot of breading. The dish was just a bit chewy and soft as opposed to being crispy. The sushi was very creative and also pretty tasty. And my husband also enjoyed the smoothie bowl. I would definitely come back to try more things here!

    I did enjoy my stay and the food. But I also did my research in advance, since there where many mixed reviews. I decided to come for breakfast around 09:30. Only a few seats were taken. It was a calm and relaxed atmosphere, although the kitchen exhaust pipe was very loud, which took away from the nice ambiance. I ordered a fresh turmeric, ginger, lemongrass tee which was very good and the Mango Passion Bowl with a side of peanut butter and peanut butter cream, which was an excellent combination and choice. They let me switch the banana topping for fresh strawberries instead. The bowl tasted fresh and well balanced, the granola was delicious and overall the interplay of flavors was convincing. However, the temperature of the smoothy base itself could have been a little cooler for my taste - I like it to be refreshing on a hot summer day. The service was friendly and quick. My couch was comfy.

    Nicest vegan restaurant I've ever been to! Incredible atmosphere and great variety of health and tasty food selection! The indoor outdoor concept combined with the bamboo architecture and the live piano music created the most relaxing atmosphere! The bowls are great, and so are the teas and the deserts: true vegan cheesecake is a must, no too sweet and made of cashews! Also their mushroom schnitzel is real tasty and so is their butterfly pea tea! Gotta stop by here on your way from ridge walk, you won't regret it!

    The long story begins with a booked table for 6 at brunch on a Sunday. After confirming the booking they say that they were hosting an event and couldn’t took any booking for brunch. Fine. I asked for dinner the same night and they were full. We asked for Monday and could find a table for us at 20:30. We order in 10 minutes after arriving and drinks came right away (as per usual). The food came after 40 minutes (!!!!), food is good don’t get me wrong but the wait was a little too much considering that the place was not full. WHILE we were eating, a waitress came and said that if we wanted to order something else we had to do right away. So we had to order dessert WHILE still finishing dinner. THEN after 10 minutes the same waitress came and said that the desserts that we wanted were not available anymore, so we had to order something else since almost everything was sold out. Could said it earlier but no we had to wait another 10 minutes. After 30 minutes after finishing dinner, WITH PLATES STILL ON THE TABLE, they finally decided it was time to clean the table to serve dessert. GRAN FINALE ✨ while we were eating desserts the waitress came with the bill asking us for the payment. Like seriously?? You cannot wait for 5 minutes for us to finish?? Bad experience and too expensive!

    Wow I did not miss meat after eating here! I'm not vegan but my husband has allergies so we thought we'd try out Zest for our last night in Bali. The staff were super lovely and able to accommodate for my husband's gluten free requirements. Food was amazing and portion sizes were huge. Dessert menu was to die for with all desserts gluten free and vegan! And the view was just gorgeous. Really lovely chilled vibe. I took more videos than photos so not much to upload to this review.

  • 5/5 mimumu e. 5 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    We had a 20 person dinner here. The only less pleasant thing is that for big group booking, they require you to order before you go. So you need to have the 20 person choosing their options, organize and communicate with Zest in one go. Quite a lot of hiccups.😅 And the area they provided us is quite tight. Would be better if they can arrange another table area for us. But the food, environment, vibes, service on site are impressive. Located up in a higher point, hidden in a jungle, they embrace nice view overlooking the greenery. Creative vegetarian food and drinks. Really yummy. The front line team are very friendly and professional! Great smiles received. In general it’s a very good experience and worth going back again.

    It's a beautiful place with a nice view. We shared 3 different pizzas, but I did not really like any of them to be honest (the vegan cheese was weird, I could not eat it, the "dough" was made of coconut). But the white local wine was very good and I liked the atmosphere. I would definetely come back to try something else on the menu if I would have stayed longer in Ubud.

    Zest Ubud it's an Iconic place around here, situated closed to the Ubud center but far enough from the crowded area, it's a true vegan place, if you want to have a Vegan experience you can have it at Zest, location designed in a very good way, good choices of food and beverage and you can relax on the sofa and chairs that are very comfortable.

    This is one of the best places in Ubud. Even when you love meat, you will feel very well here. My recommendations for food (specially for meat lovers): main dish with jackfruit. Curry was also great. And the starter are my absolutely favorites, specially the coconut bread. You have to let your shouts outside, before come in and enjoying the atmosphere.

    Best spot to eat in Ubud if you ask me. The place is beautiful. They have great couches the relax on. There pizza's are amazing. The drinks are healthy. Only thing is that's a bit out of the center of Ubud. So walking to it not really nice but if you have a scooter you have to go!!!

    Eclectic place, fantastic view in a beautiful location. Relaxing and chilling here is easy and rewarding, not the same for the food. If you're not fanatically vegan, make a pleasure to yourself and pass. There's no option for people that likes milk or honey and the staff is no help if you request something variating the standard menu

    (Translated by Google) I like the atmosphere. Handsomely. But, not all places are comfortable, most places are completely uncomfortable and I do not understand this division. If you already make cool sofas, then make the rest of the benches at least acceptable. Food is certainly not worth the price. Cocoa, which everything is recommended below - terribly thick like melt very sweet Dark chocolate, I do not like this, so keep in mind. Carbonesia paste is like that. Pizza is also not very good. In general, this usually happens, if one dish is tasteless, then the rest can not even be risked and ordered. But everyone has different tastes, this must be understood. I don’t really have food and drinks here. But someone will surely like it. The only thing I liked more or less was a durian smoothie with coconut milk. The waiters are of course stupid. (Original) Мне нравится атмосфера. Красиво. Но, не все места удобные, большинство мест совсем неудобные и мне непонятно это разделение. Если уж делаешь классные диваны, то и остальные скамейки сделай хотя бы приемлемыми. Еда конечно не стоит своей цены. Какао, которое все рекомендует ниже - ужасно густое как талый очень сладкий Горький шоколад, мне такое не по душе, поэтому имейте ввиду. Паста карбонезия - такое себе. Пицца - тоже не очень. Вообще обычно так и бывает, если одно блюдо невкусное, то и остальные можно даже не рисковать и не заказывать. Но у всех вкусы разные, это нужно понимать. Мне вообще тут еда и напитки не очень. Но кому-то наверняка понравится. Единственно, что понравилось более менее - смузи дуриан с кокосовым молоком. Официанты конечно бестолковые.

    (Translated by Google) I was here three times and all three times the experience was disappointing. Let's start with the service, it is not there as such. We took the order for a very long time, for about 10 minutes we waited only for the menu, then so that we would take the order for about 20. After waiting for food for about 40 minutes. In total, I spent an hour and a half waiting on the cafe. The food was tasteless. A mixture of everything in a row on one plate and so incompatible that it was impossible to make out what was going on and how people eat it. Coconut, sauerkraut, pomegranate, a bunch of greens, mayonnaise, seaweed, and other ingredients that could not be recognized. The smoothies and coffee were good. The remaining dishes created a lot of controversy and regret from the time spent and a lot of money. Of the advantages, I can note the interior. It is really beautiful here. (Original) Была здесь трижды и все три раза опыт был разочаровывающим. Начнём с сервиса, его, как такового, нет. Принимали заказ очень долго, около 10 минут мы ждали только меню, затем чтобы у нас приняли заказ около 20. После ждали еды около 40 минут. В общей сложности потратив на ожидание в Кафе полтора часа. Еда была невкусной. Смесь всего подряд в одной тарелке и настолько не сочетаемого, что невозможно было разобрать, что происходит и как это люди едят. Кокос, квашенная капуста, гранат, куча зелени, майонез, водоросли, и прочие ингредиенты, распознать которые не удалось. Смузи и кофе были хороши. Остальные блюда создали много противоречий и сожаление от потраченных времени и немалых денег. Из плюсов могу отметить интерьер. Здесь действительно красиво.

    If you are looking for some hyper-touristy and super pretentious expensive menu, this is the perfect place for you. Great for instagramming while feeling like you are having familiar food with just enough sprinkle of exotic. Not sure what I expected but everyone makes mistakes.

    (Translated by Google) Very atmospheric, nice place. The most delicious smoothie bowls in Bali !!!! Normal temperature (!) And not frozen, which is not possible to eat right away, very interesting combination of flavors and ingredients, it’s definitely worth a try. The rest of the food was not impressive, the herb with sauces, personally I didn’t have enough falafel in the menu or beans, in general, something more satisfying than the herb and pita bread. For music and aromas in the institution there is a separate star ?? ahhhh and here a little fries and you are constantly being poured, it’s straightforward ??? 5 stars for it, since everyone has their own taste preferences, someone can and will be delighted with such an amount of greenfinch)))) (Original) Очень атмосферное, приятное место. Самые вкусные смузи боулы на Бали!!!! Нормальной температуры (!) а не замороженные , что кушать не возможно сразу, очень интересные сочетания вкусов и ингредиентов, это прям стоит попробовать. Остальная еда не впечатлила , травка с соусами, лично мне не хватило фалафеля в меню или бобов, в общем чего то посытнее травки и лаваша. За музыку и ароматы в заведении отдельная звезда?? ааааа и тут водичка фри и вам ее постоянно подливают , это прям ??? за это 5 звёзд , так как вкусовые предпочтения у каждого свои , кто то может и обрадуется такому количеству зеленушки)))

    The ambiance here is really nice! The staff is attentive and friendly, and we appreciated that they kept our water glasses full (with free water!). We had the English breakfast and the vegan omelettes for breakfast (I can't remember the dish names) - they were both delicious! The price is a bit higher than other places in town (168k before tip), but the food was wonderful and worth the price.

    I am not a vegan and I typically do not like food pretending to be other food... and yet I love Zest! Their flavors are rich and delicious. I’m not such a fan of the fake cheese, but jackfruit pretending to be beef is incredible! The breakfast set is a great deal. Dinner is delicious. Desserts are to die for. Great daily specials. Decent wine. Very friendly staff. Lovely decor. Cool conscious events. I’m very lucky to be staying in the homestay next door. What a treat!

    Amazing vegan restaurant with a stunning view on the jungle of Ubud. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice and relaxing. It is open, just with a roof. They have big menu with so much options to choose from, and everything is 100% plant based. The food tastes amazing and is very beautifully decorated. The best restaurant in Ubud I have been so far.

    Wow this was some of the tastiest vegan food I ever had! I literally kept saying “wow” in my head every time I took a bite! I ordered the teriyaki jackfruit burger with sweet potato fries, cauliflower n’ cheeze, and quinoa bowl. The potato fries that came with the teriyaki jackfruit burger was crunchy and delicious. Mmmm and the cheesy cauliflower was mouthwatering. I would recommend the teriyaki jackfruit burger to anyone! Oh and I felt so healthy eating the quinoa bowl- the roasted pumpkin was soo yumm. They even provide sustainable reusable napkins that have a cute little decoration on it. 🥰 🪐Instagram: @melanieguintu

    The food is really good. The restaurant is beautiful. We stayed there 2 hours because it took a long time for the food to arrive. Nobody is wearing mask here.... All the food for adults arrived before the food for the child... Food for adults : no spices. Food for kids: really spicy. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Again, food is amazing, staff really friendly but not following covid protocol is a big no no. Extra taxes and fees.

    Notice the reviews that say food takes a long while. I’ve eaten here a good few times and yes, generally the food is very good. Leaving this review because I’ve just left without eating there, fed up with waiting for someone to even come and take my order, despite asking twice and being told to please wait. Not even very busy but waiting over 15mins to even have an order taken is unacceptable. I hope they sort it out.

    So, after a lot of excellent feedbacks was there 1 day to eat and 1 day for coffee. Exterior and interior are really the best, but.... 1st day: We have eat steak jackfruit, humus with bread and salad. Nothing special, like everywhere in 4 stars places in Ubud (using Google maps). Prices are according to status if the restaurant. Further history is more exciting.. 2nd day: Want just to drink coffee. We have ordered big long black with coconut milk. After some minutes we have big cup with 100!!!! degrees coffee which is impossible to drink. So barista and staff doesn’t know, that more or less specialist will not put 100C water from the coffee machine to the Espresso! It is absolutely wrong and the 1st rule to make Americano or long black! Next more interesting which is shown the service: We called staff and try to explain that it is impossible to drink because 100degrees Coffee and we get: “what we can do?!”, “every time we do like this and everybody like this”, “sorry we do longblack coffee like this”! It is really the answer from the school. And we must pay for this but we didn’t drink this substance. Ok, so, for sure we will never come again to this place not due to coffee but due to service. For customers: Who understand coffee and who is coffeelover please don’t drink it there! Also a lot of other places in Ubud with more or less the same interior but cheeped! You will lose money! For owner: Please make sure that your staff is really specialist (barista, staff inside). The girl who works 12.01.2021 at the payment are really not interested with customers.

    We came back for lunch after enjoying dinner here as the food was good, but we really regretted it. When we had dinner, service was slow as the place was busy, but when we came for lunch the service was non existant. First they tried to get us to share a table with another couple, in the middle of a pandemic. After being sat for a long time we eventually had to walk up and ask for menus. Then we had to do the same again to order food. Our drinks came quick but the food took an hour. I wouldn't mind normally as it was busy, but we kept asking for water which we never got. The waitress topping up water just kept ignoring us as she walked around. When the food came I didn't receive what I ordered. They took it back, then returned later on with it cold and just some extra chilli on the side for me to add to it. The waitress explained that the kitchen was preparing the correct food, so we thought I would eat this and then get what I actually ordered. We waited half an hour more after the plates were cleared expecting my food to come, but then when asked if we wanted anything else I explained we were still waiting for my food, and then were told that they remaking it. I explained to the reception that I wasn't happy with the service and didn't get the food I ordered, expecting at least a small discount in my food. But all she said was thank you and took our money without blinking. Really bad experience and won't be going back again.

    Yesterday we had delicious food and good service. Today it went all wrong because of too many trainers, communication breakdown and the manager moving cars instead of looking after the restaurant. After one hour of waiting for food. We were told that they finnished the current dish. We left the restaurant and they gave us chocolate. I hope this is not happening again, cause the restaurant is beautiful as Ubud.

I like the food here cos its not all raw, and its super flavorful, i think they use A LOT of spices. Easily the best vegan restaurant ive tried around ubud What i ate : - avocado toast (amazing) - jackfruit/tuna sushi (suprisingly tastes like normal sushi! Super good too) - bbq fried cauliflower (BOMB!!!) - jackfruit steak (its OK, nice but not the best)

    5x⭐️ for the location, interior, design and the comfy seat area. Also for the staff and great service. 5x⭐️ for the smoothie Mango, pineapple & passion fruit. It’s really very tasty. 4x⭐️ for the Affogato, the coffee was a bit too sour. 3x⭐️ for the cappuccino, they only have coconut & cashew milk, what is not the best choice for coffee. Soy milk (unsweetened) are the best and almond is also OK. 4x⭐️ for the Jack Fruit Burger, taste was good, but have had more expectations, cos it was highly recommended by everyone I know. 3x⭐️ for the 3x mini burger plate, unfortunately thats pretty much a joke. I like the idea, to try 3 different burgers. But the size of the burgers are super tiny, reminds me on a small cookie or a coin. The spicy sweat potato fries are just 3 pieces, thats also a bit less. 3x⭐️ overall experience, its a fancy place but its also very pricy for the food we got. Maybe other food choices would be a better choice.

  • 1/5 Diana W. 2 years ago on Google
    A friend brought me here as she was impressed by the bbq cauliflower & sushi she had before. Before arriving I was looking through the instagram checking out the menus and I was attracted by the peking duck menu. I went with high hopes and expectation after looking at everyone's review! First of all, NONE of the staff was wearing the mask! we ordered: -BBQ Cauliflower -Cheeze balls -Peking Duck Platter. - Kombucha (Ginger & Lemongrass) -warm fruit crumble When the food came... the table was so small, it couldnt fit all the plates but the waitress despite me telling her it doesnt fit, kept on trying to play puzzle with the plates! I had to insist for 3 more times before she brings us another table. BBQ cauliflower was good. The cheeze balls was alright. But the Kombucha & Peking duck platter were a total nightmare! The kombucha, tasted nothing close to kombucha but concentrated vinaigrette drink. The Peking duck... Not so peking after all. it shouldn't even be on the menu! The texture of the "duck" was mushy and gooey. I had no idea what was I putting into my mouth! You called it peking duck but it was not even 10% close to what the original thing is... The wrapping is was too thick, the vegetables... It was very confusing. The staff kept on coming and ask 'how was the food?' every 15 min, on the 4th time, we decided to be honest and complained about the duck. We gave them our honest opinion, but he became very defensive and kept on trying to push the blame to the head chef not wanting to take other opinions and its from vegetables, so we can't expect it to be the same as the duck. and how its is challenging to mix different ingredient and make it into yummy food... I came in to this restaurant knowing that this is a vegan place. I am not a first timer vegan, and I know what I am doing. I guess, if you are charging a plate of vegetables for IDR 130K ++, then it is not me as a consumer's challenge to solve this problem but the restaurant's! When I told him it's not my first time doing vegan food, he even challenged me asking me where had I eaten before! How RUDE! When we dont need the service, the staff kept on coming to ask how was the food ... and when we do need their attention to serve our dessert.... It took them at least a good 5-8 min of us waving to passing by waitresses before one of them finally saw us waving. It was quite frustrating. Lastly, when we were making the payment, the staff mentioned that credit card payment requires additional 2%. And when I asked why, the reply was: a foreign card has got an extra charge. Mine is a local card! If we did not clarified, we would have been blindly charged!!! I do not usually leave a comment but this experience was so horrible that I had to put this down in words! Owner, please. Have the decency to train your staff.

The local staff are doing a fantastic job. Riyadi is the kindest and so attentive to detail, Dewa the same, Ratna is the most uplifting and coolest lady on the island, Eka, Popi, Dayu, Wayan and all the rest are simply wonderful.

    A great vegetarian restaurant aimed for foreigners, I guess. Because there is no Indonesian Vegetarian Food on the menu. Only one menu with rice & it is a Vietnamesse/Thai Food. The taste is standard, but the price is quite expensive for locals. The place is amazing, you can enjoy fresh air, environmental friendly. All staff are friendly & the way they serve the customers makes us feel like home. If you drive, please note that the parking lots are limited.

    Amazing atmosphere for any time of the day. Absolutely outstanding and incredible variation of dishes. You should definitely try all of the burgers, especially the triple set. It is the only place, which serves the wide variety of side dishes. Good list of beverages and cocktails. As a coffee lover I would definitely recommend to try just a regular long black coffee. It is reach in flavour and would be amazing with any of the deserts. Cheesecake is simply spectacular in taste. The staff is absolutely a team of professionals, welcoming you with the warmest smile and happy to make anything for you. Literally anything. Coming here 2-3 times each week. So you should too.

    I always try the local vegan places when I go to a new spot so obviously this place was first on my list! I agree with most of the comments below.. slow service, decent food, interesting vibe, and fairly pricey compared to other food in the area. I probably won’t be returning, but I could see this being a fun spot to hit with a group of friends. After trying a smoothie, loaded fries, pizza and sushi.. my recommendation would be the sushi and the smoothie! Staff was friendly, and I had no problems with getting my water refilled.

    + good ambiance, interesting interior with the touch of Balinese culture and modern setting + creative vegan food + Protein drink was super nice - Pho was okay, I personally think it was quite salty, I guess I had a very expectation since I am a pho lover and people talk only good thing about food in zest. You would love Zest especially if you’re into fried food.

    The setting is truly outstanding and unique. There was a live piano which added a delightful note to the ambience. However, we were left disappointed. The food was good, yet it did not live up to the cost. Same for the portions. We left both hungry after eating the green bowl and the club sandwich. The green bowl comprises a little bit of lettuce, two asparagus, some avocado, and a few broccoli heads... I understand that the food is vegan and that there is a certain quality and effort behind these dishes. However, as a vegetarian person who seeks vegan restaurants, I got to try a lot of them in Ubud and had better experiences than in Zest. I also understand that we pay for the setting. Unfortunately, the 15% tax at the end added some bitterness to the experience.

    This place is always full so make sure you put a reservation before you plan to go. My wife and so were so happy having dinner here. I Amazing food, everything in the menu is delicious! They have the best selection of sushi you can ever think of! Difficult to describe how good they are! We also try their Roman Jack Pizza and honestly it was one of the best vegan pizzas I’ve ever ate. The ambient is very chill and modern with a pinch of local Balinese culture. For dessert we tried the “Apple pie” that was pretty good but I was expecting truly a traditional apple pie and they came up with something else and I felt the apple taste was missing. FYI just in case your are a apple pie lover as myself.

    Our most favourite restaurant in Bali! During our stay we came here at least 30 times and it was great each time. So glad we stumbeled across this amazing restaurant. Big thank you to the Zest team for creating such amazing food and atmosphere every single day.

    My absolute favorite cafe in UBUD, and I’m not vegan. Went back several times during my stay - they have a super creative menu and every item we ordered was excellent. The seaweed waffles with cream cheese was amazing, and so are the burgers. The smoothie bowl was rich and tasty, recommended for sharing. We added on peanut cream to it and it was divine.

    I highly recommend this vegan cafe to anyone looking for delicious plant-based cuisine, a cozy atmosphere, and a touch of live music. It's the perfect spot to indulge in tasty vegan food and enjoy the vibrant culture of Bali. To add to the charm, the cafe also had a cool shop in the entrance. It was a delightful surprise to browse.

    Best vegan restaurant I've been so far in different countries. They offer an extensive menu which has a variety of burgers, pizzas, sushi and their signature dishes, mylkshakes, etc. It's hard to choose what to eat as everything looks amazing. The sushi was tasty, freshly made and beautifully presented. The Run Piglet Run, wraps of barbecued jackfruit and avocado were delicious and in a big portion. The strawberry lemonade was super tasty! I wish I could've tried their whole menu. The ambiance is super beautiful and well decorated. Nice comfy seating areas. They seem to be always fully booked but they were very accommodating for one person table walk in.

    This is the best vegan food in Bali. So much to choose from and the food is so delicious. The cocktails are fresh and not full of sugar. The desserts are amazing and there are plenty to choose from- my husband is gluten free so this is a real treat. The staff are overall good, one lady in particular was amazing with our baby. I think the service could be more attentive as it does take a while for them to notice you're there, give you a menu, top up water and no one asks if you want dessert- not deal breakers but for such a gorgeous place this could be improved. We had the "tuna" sushi, the mushroom schnitzel and a Thai salad, mushroom pizza (AMAZING) with cocktails and takeaway cheesecake. Will be back again when in Ubud. They also have high chairs, a piano people jam out to and a tea house.

    If we put aside the popularity of the place and the beauty of the atmosphere, yes, it is a very nice and social area. You have a very enjoyable time and vegan products are quite satisfying. However, the service is soo slow that it really bothers me every time I come. Even the coffee I ordered was delivered cold many times. Such a popular place definitely needs to improve its service…

    I'm not even vegan but the food was delicious that anyone can enjoy. The cafe is up the hill and has a very relaxing atmosphere. Great place to meet up with friends or alone when you need to refresh with good vibes and food.

    We came for dinner and brunch because there are so many amazing dishes to try. Gorgeous atmosphere, truly something special and food was not your regular vegan. It was super special 👌🏼

    Writing this because they are pet friendly (in garden area)😍 I’ve had such a hard time finding places in Ubud that allow my little pup. Ambiance, music, vibes 10/10. The bruschetta toast and beet juice was so good and healthy first thing in the morning. Also I could bring my laptop and work- wasn’t too hot either with all the shade and trees

👍 Ordinary food in a spectacular location, in the middle of rice paddy. The crispy duck is really crispy, a bit too dry. The sate lilit is delicious. The gurami goreng bit bland / tasteless. Nor the sauce / sambal nor the fish have any taste. It also would be better if they have soup in their menu to...
