Cozy place with delicious food

We had two very good sushi’s, two mains, and a side. They helped us with a second table which was very helpful .
Staff is very kind and the food was just amazing.
Definitely highly recommended!

Got food poisoning

I really wished that I had read the google reviews before going to what I thought was a higher end meal here in Ubud. There are so many others who have gotten food poisoning from here. I hate to write a bad review but I just want to warn any potential customers. Go anywhere else there are so many great options!

A bit overrated

It’s a beautiful spot but the food was a bit bland. It’s very busy due to it being ‘instagrammable’ but we were pretty underwhelmed. It’s a health food restaurant so I probably should’ve managed my expectations for flavour.

Pros: Nice decor and setting

Cons: Bland food, Busy with people taking photos, Pricey

A bit pricier, but delicious and beautiful

Really good food (cheese platter!!), fantastic location, super friendly. A bit pricier for Bali standards, but we’ll worth it.

Delight for palate & eyes

Enjoyed the most delicious vegan meals & drinks in a magnificent open & lush restaurant - vibrant and cozy at the same time. Delicately flavoured & arranged with much detail. Kept going back for my tastebuds to explore the menu! Well worth it!

Updated from previous review on 2024-03-01

Pros: Amazing variety of flavours - food & drinks, vibrant atmosphere & beautiful interior, friendly staff

Cons: Might need a reservation in the evening, Can be loud during peak-time

The cool factor

Zest feels like a place to be seen if that's your thing, but the food was pretty good too. The teriyaki banana blossom burger was yummy (although the mayo is made with coconut which I didn't like too much), the mushroom ribs were sticky and sweet, and the banana flour gluten free pizza crust was tasty although on the small side compared to other pizza places in town. Zest has some great ice cream and dessert options too.

Wonderful

Beautiful setting with a nice upscale feel, situated at the top of a hill overlooking town. Great view, great clean tasty food. Comes at a price. #Veganuary

Fantastic

Everything was fantastic. We ordered a bunch of things and split all. We could have skipped the Pizza. It was average at best. But all other food, drinks, ambiance and the music was awesome

Great Food and Atmosphere

The atmosphere here is really chilled, and the food menu is all vegan and extremely extensive!

On the pricier side, and we waited quite a while for food, but was not a problem as we were happy to escape the blistering sun for a few hours!

my all time favourite vegan place

I found this place by accident and came back a lot of times. I loved all the dishes I ordered and especially the mango passion bowl! Good for working remotely and a nice place to relax, take a nap etc.

Really nice service staff, My fav cafe in all of bali!

Pros: view, selection , atmosphere

Good views but food is overhyped

Not the best food and the portions are extremely small compared to the price. It is a big cafe tho so working there is very peaceful and the views are very big. Tbh i‘d probably rather go there for lunch/dinner then breakfast. My pancakes were nice but my friends waffels were kinda dry

Pros: Amazing views, Nice looking restaurant

Cons: Small portions, Expensive , Not the best food

Worst Vegan Food In Ubud

You pay for the view, NOT the food!

The food is poor—at best.

Bog-standard white bread for toast that tastes like stale carpet.

Cremated over fried potato wedges and hash browns that could crack a gold tooth.

Foreskin bacon.

A random onion ring on a breakfast?!

Yellow mash?!

Need I say more?

The menu is a joke, and potions are tiny.

But the view’s nice if you don't sit under the thunder of the extractor fan at the end of the restaurant.

Unimpressed :((

Was excited to try because of all the good reviews but were made to feel really unwelcome and food was really mixed. I had the burger which was ok but a bit lacklustre for the price and chips were tasteless. My friend had the “chicken of the forest” which was rich and tasty but overall felt quite unwelcome and ignored!

Pros: Fully vegan

Cons: Expensive

Nice location and nice food

We had the Jackfruit Pizza and the pesto ricenoodels. Both was delicious and the service really friendly.

Breathtaking

The woman I sat next to on the plane wrote me a list of vegan places to try out in Bali but said I have to go to Zest
It was incredible, the views were beautiful, the structure was gorgeous and the food was absolutely amazing.
The whole experience was one that I would love to repeat and I recommend Zest to anybody visiting Bali, particularly vegans

Pros: Food offerings , Views , Price

ZERO STARS!!! Worst Vegan Food in Bali!

This was the worst experience we had in Bali!!! The chef here is not able to make good vegan food. We went to so many wonderful vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Bali and this was the absolute worst. The waffles were by default, for no reason, made gluten free. They were made with rice flour which made them tough and chewy instead of soft and fluffy. So many other vegan restaurants did waaaaay better!!! Their other food items also had wrong/tough texture and bad taste. I was really hoping it would be amazing given the menu sounds so exciting but it was so disappointing! Bali is a wonderful place for vegan and vegetarian food and this place ruins the experience. Also, I noticed there were so many people there barefoot even though the sign outside specifically said not to take your shoes off in the restaurant!!! Ultimately, this is was just a place for people who want to be stylishly vegan and “into the Eastern lifestyle” rather than a place that provides quality vegan food. Again, there are so many amazing vegan and vegetarian options in Bali but THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM!!! Please skip and save yourself the disappointment!!

Pros: Ambiance

Cons: Food taste, Food texture, Barefoot customers
