Great food, lovely atmosphere - Edit
Zest is of my favourite vegan restaurants in Ubud.
Read moreThey have a great selection of vegan food, so you'll probably have a tough time deciding what to pick, and if you're anything like me you'll find yourself needing to come back several times just to try everything on the menu! Particularly worth mentioning is the jackfruit pizza, which is absolutely delicious.
The whole vibe of the place is great, and I love that they've created a trendy, upmarket spot that doesn’t stray too far from its Balinese roots with its style. Not to mention it has some fantastic views. An absolute must try!
Pros: Great food - try the jackfruit pizza!, Fantastic views
Cons: A little out of the centre

Amazing staff - super ethical resto - Edit
The menu was quite mind blowing in what they offered so we were so glad a member of staff gave us recommendations. The pizza was excellent and we loved the specialty cocoa coffee with coconut cream they did! Highly recommend

The best vegan restaurant ever tried. - Edit
Alright, It’s been 6 months I am travelling in Asia. I have tried many many vegan restaurants. Zest must be the best one. The place is crazy, well-decorated. The menu offers many types of food. Above all, the food is so delicious. Well, hard to find the right terms. Just go there to see by yourself.

Best birthday dinner - Edit
I had my birthday dinner here. Everything was perfect: great mocktails, appetisers (loaded taro chips and sweet potato wedges), dishes (yummy nasi campur and curry). The atmosphere is so peaceful with a beautiful view and trees inside the dining room. Will come back soon!

You pay for the show - Edit
At first the good things: you have a nice, alternative atmosphere, wifi and friendly staff.
Read moreUnfortunately, there is a lack of taste.
We had "zest nibbles" and the "roman jack pizza", as the waiter recommended.
The zest nibbles had burned eggplant in it, which was just too burned, the hummus had way too much garlic in it, the vegetables were not even seasoned. On the pizza there was some vegan cheese which had the consistency of jello.
In addition, it was very expensive.
Pros: Good WiFi
Cons: Overpriced and bad flavors

Sweet! - Edit
Beautiful area, friendly staff.
Read moreThe food was good!
Sadly the place was always packed with people sleeping and cuddling on the sofas, next to people who want to eat there.
Also putting their dirty feet on the sofas didn’t help.

Really great food - Edit
This place is very fancy with a beautiful interior and the food was amazing. My only problem was that the portion sizes were a bit small and it feels a tiny bit pretentious but if you love a fancy restaurant I couldn’t recommend this place more.

A_mazing - Edit
This place is really popular, and for a good reason. Even if you might not get the table with the best view without a reservation, the selection of cruelty-free meals at Zest is just overwhelming and yes - the food is worth the good reputation.

One of the coolest spots in ubud! - Edit
We visited zest twice in a week while staying in ubud. They have a huge menu with a variety of different food and drinks. They do a set breakfast/brunch menu for pre 11.00 am for 100 idr which comes with a coffee / hot chocolate (one of the best hot chocolates I've ever had) plus a fresh shot and a plate of food with 2 dishes one. Their crushed new potatoes are to die for aswell.
Read moreThe restaurant itself is super comfy and has a great relaxed vibe. They have sofas made of hemp all over the place and massive open windows that look over the jungle. A great place to have a few coffees and enjoy a good book on their sofas.
Prices are not cheap, but for the quality of food and the over all atmosphere here, it's well worth the money.
Also, the staff were always very friendly.
Will definitely be coming back next time we're in Ubud.
Pros: Great food, Adorable set menu for breakfast before 11, Great seating, views and over all atmosphere
Cons: None

Favourite place in Ubud! - Edit
Hands down our favourite place in Ubud. We ate here a lot! The pizza with the cashew cheese is a must try - that texture is so cheese like and it’s so delicious! We also had amazing pancakes for breakfast and the kebab shop wrap also went down a treat with the sweet potato wedges. All delicious. All healthy. All fully gluten free. Our only complain was that they had no jackfruit whenever we visited and the brownie in a glass was always sold out! So get there early!

Favourite Ubud Restaurant! - Edit
Of all the vegan places I visited in Bali Zest was by far my favourite! The menu is innovative and the food is always of the highest quality. But it’s not just the food that kept me coming back, the atmosphere is truly lovely. Comfy couches and small nooks to squeeze into and enjoy the amazing view from up on the ridge where the restaurant is located. And let’s not forget the staff are so friendly and helpful. From beginning to end the dinning experience at Zest is wonderful!

The best - Edit
One of the best vegan dining experiences. The food was really wonderful, everything we had was amazing. From the starters through to the dessert, everything was a joy. We ordered a lot of different things to share and everything was such a high standard of freshness and excellent ingredients. The love could literally be felt in this beautiful food. So great as I went with 3 non vegans who said it was their favourite restaurant and eating experience in Bali 💚

Zest is a place to visit 😍 - Edit
great food, decoration, events, people,.. its an experience❤😍 just one advice, maybe keep the volume of the music a bit lower, many people say its the best place but cant really talk at ease because music is a bit loud.

Beautiful ambience, beautiful food - Edit
I’ve been to Zest twice for weekly girls meetups and really love the vibe and food. Being vegan it makes me really happy to go to entirely plant-based places because I can eat anything on the menu. There’s so many gluten/wheat-free options too! (Is it all gluten-free?) I find the food really creative and delicious. I don’t like to eat oil and nothing tasted too oily to me.
Read moreI’ve had the Bangkok Bang bowl, cucumber mint salad/dip, pancake stack and the cacao ceremony hot chocolate. The pancakes are almost a meal in themselves so come hungry!
Pros: All vegan / plant-based so you can eat everything, Very creative and beautiful food, Lovely, magical setting
Cons: Can get a little loud inside, Drinks are a little expensive compared to food

Hipster central - Edit
Menu is extensive but I struggled to find a wide variety of protein or whole grain plant options. The food I did eat was really delicious but it was essentially a large salad with a side of fermented cabbage. The juice I had was really delicious too.
Read moreBeing a cool hipster place the price reflects that but you do get what you pay for.
For a raw gourmet experience I’d choose MOKSA before returning to Zest.
Pros: Great views, Good bike parking
Cons: Lack of protein and whole grain options
