Delicious vegan dessert - Edit
Got the vegan peanut caramel slice to takeaway on two occasions - so tasty and rich! Don’t know what the rest of the food is like but the menu looked good with plenty of veg options.

Smoothies with the seaweed cube - Edit
For the majority of my one week stay this place was closed which was sad. Opened the second to last day when I had already given up on eating out at the island, but I did have some smoothies here which were great. Not tiny like in other places and with greens they have the cube (a local seaweed cube which supporta local farmers - look it up!) . Staff was kind. If I was visiting again this would be my first place to go to.

Feels very fancy - Edit
I had the Buddha burger and my partner had the yoga burger though we both cut them in half to share the taste. I enjoyed both very much and so did he. The patties are made from scratch with very whole food ingredients. I also recommend trying the karma smoothie here too as it’s such a good and delicious mix. However all that aside I’ve worked in hospitality for many years and I have to say the service was poor. We were greeted however after that felt like we were left to our own devices. Three ladies hanging about that weren’t attentive to the point I thought that maybe it’s not table service and it’s pay at the counter after awhile my partner finally got one of the ladies attention to come and serve us.

Made my whole trip! - Edit
I stumbled upon this place one day looking for some lunch and I'm so glad that I did!
Read moreI'd had a few bad experiences on the island where I'd gone hoping for a vegan option and had been disappointed and had to make do with a fruit salad or something. So I just popped into Kayu to have a look at the menu but I had somewhere else in mind for lunch on this day.
Well, I needn't have worried because Kayu has several vegan options on both their breakfast and lunch/ dinner menus! I looked at the words 'Tofu Scramble' as if it were a vision of water in the vast dessert. I was overjoyed. It is also important to note that the tofu is a breakfast dish and I arrived at 1pm and they were still kind enough to make it for me!
I came back the following day for breakfast and had the magic mushrooms which were, again, incredible! The plating was beautiful on both occasions and you can tell that the team has put a lot of effort into creating dishes that both look and taste incredible!
I wish I'd found this place sooner because it would have saved me a lot of heartache and disappointment from other places. It seems to me that since COVID some places on the island have regressed in terms of their menu and are now offering fewer vegan options, but Kayu is the delightful exception. I would go back time and time again. (Just maybe a warning though if you're expecting Bali prices, on the island things are slightly more expensive, and both the tofu and mushrooms cost around 70-80k rupiah each, but that's pretty average for places in Nusa Lembongan)
Pros: Scrambled tofu/ Magic Mushrooms are a must!, Beautifully plated with care and attention, Kind and friendly staff
Cons: I didn't find it sooner :(

Average Vegan Food - Edit
I've tried both the Vegan burgers…
Read moreAnd they are just not up to par.
The quinoa burger just isn't flavoursome.
And the beet burger squishes out of the bun and drops to bits—it's not firm at all.
The Vegan mayo is tasteless.
And the chips are weird…
They don't taste like chips at all.
I've also tried the scrambled tofu breakfast.
The flavours were there…
Nevertheless.
It came out served on a SIDE PLATE.
Which is considerably smaller than the plate for the meat eaters mains.
*And as you can see from my picture.
The plate wasn't even full?!
I felt short-changed.
I appreciate the Vegan options.
Nevertheless.
It's not great Vegan food at all.

Cons: The food isn’t great

Im sorry that your experience wasn't up to par at Kayu. Food is such a personal preference isn't it, as the review before you has raved about our burgers, but you didn't enjoy them.
Read moreIn regards to the tofu scramble this is a breakfast dish so no it's not the same size as the main meal dishes we offer, you are correct.
We have just updated our menu to add even more vegan options on there so hopefully you give us another try when you are back on the island and we can meet your expectations. :-)

The smoothie bowls are vegan, as are a selection of cheese cakes and popsicles. Prices are reasonable compared to restaurants on the rest of the strip. The space is fantastic - really open and peaceful.

Many vegan options and great setting! - Edit
Was really happy to discover this restaurant! The vegan options are clearly marked on the menu with a V and there are many options (the menu is on their facebook page). I had the tofu scramble and it was delicious and very flavoursome. It is a really cute restuarant and I felt very relaxed being there. The staff are awesome as well.
Read moreYou can refill your water bottle for Rp 5000 too (to prevent buying a plastic bottle). Wish I discovered this place earlier instead of on my last day here on the island as I would definitely go back.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, great ambience , delicious food
