The Vegan Friendliest non-vegan Restaurant in Bali

Cendana Restaurant my go to place in Bali when i crave for tasty vegan Indonesian dishes. Even though it is not even a vegetarian restaurant, but Cendana has quite a few vegan-friendly Indonesian dishes like 'Gado-gado' (indonesian mix salad with peanut sauce), Balinese vegetable curry, 'Opor Tahu' (Braised tofu in coconut milk)to name a few. My absolute favorite is the veganized version of their 'Nasi Gurih, which is a savory rice that comes with fried tofu, sweet spicy tempe orek, vegetables curry, and spicy potato crisp. Love it! so worth the trip! Then finish it off with Black Rice Pudding 'Bubur Injin'' with Coconut Ice Cream.
What I truly love about Cendana is how accommodating they are. They can whip up a vegan dish or veganize some dishes at your request (when possible of course) . The key is to ask and inform the staff that you are vegan and they’ll gladly accommodate you.

Pros: Excellent food with good value, Friendly and helpful staff, very accommodating, Nice traditional Indonesian vibe

Cons: no dedicated vegan section in the menu

Good food

At first we had some trouble finding this place because Google Maps shows it in the wrong location, behind some buildings but no path in that direction. Follow the map on HappyCow to find the right location, right next to the road and clearly visible when you walk past it.

Had the vegan gado gado and it was good. Not the best food ever, but definitely nice, especially the satay sauce was really good. And they seem to have a variety of vegan Indonesian dishes. Quite cheap as well and nice atmosphere

Lovely place

Good vegetarian and vegan options, great atmosphere and friendly staff! The food was nice and the price was so reasonable. Our cheapest meal in Seminyak! We made the mistake of passing this place due to the location as we assumed it would be pricey.

Pros: Good amount of vegan options, Great atmosphere , Cheap

Good veg and vegan options

I stayed at this hotel in July 2022 and found there to be good veg and vegan options for all meals (including the set breakfast). The smoothie bowls were delicious and it was nice eating meals in the garden area by the pool. The prices are also reasonable and cheaper than the restaurants along the beach.

No vegan options

I asked them if any of their vegetarian options could be made vegan and they said no. Avoid this place if you are vegan. I ordered a coffee and it was brought out with dairy milk in it which I’ve never had happen before. I asked if I could have it black with no milk and they made it seem like it was a big ordeal.

Pros: Near beach, Has vegetarian menu

Cons: No vegan options, Be careful with even coffee
