Overrated and expensive - Edit
We really enjoyed the cheese platter and the desserts.
Read moreThe main dishes ( we had burger and pizza) were disappointing. The pizza is very small and doesn’t taste very good. The cheese balls taste just like mashed potatoes.
The atmosphere is beautiful, if you want to take nice pictures this place is the right one for you.

Amazing place - Edit
Entire restaurant is open air and has a great atmosphere. Tons of vegan options that as all very good. Only problem is it is so popular you might struggle to get a table or seat.

Don't be fooled by "top rated" - Edit
Were here 2 times and both were not so good.
Read moreThey dont know how to make a good coffee as well as a cacao.
The bread and waffles are extremely harsh, you can kill with this waffles.
The portion for breakfast combo is extremely small, but the price is above other dishes.
The stuff are rude. The waiter spills water on both our visits. And also she cleaned the spilled water from the table and the floor with the same towel. 🤮
The pancakes is good (its hard to ruin them, but i cant recommend anything other than we tried (breakfast combo the sinner, big breakfast stack, nori waffles)
The menu is big, and as we know, you cannot make everything good.
They have a live music, but its too loud, and the sound coming from cheap speakers.
The interior is great, btw.
P.s. Don't trust "must try" in the menu.
Pros: Interior
Cons: Food, Drinks, Stuff

Great food, very ‘cool’ - Edit
This is a very cool hipster western place. The place is beautiful. The food is delicious. Staff is great. Lots of people hanging out and working.
Read moreWe had some jackfruit sushi (non grain) that was great. We also had the fondant cake - delicious. Great teas and craft beers too.
Pros: Vegan menu - huge. , Pretty views.
Cons: Expensive. , Lots of people working, talking loudly.

Hippest spot in Ubud - Edit
Beautiful spot, beautiful food options from sushi to burgers to curries. Very hip and the prices reflect that. We had the Peking duck style sharing platter and it was amazing. But the best thing were there cauliflower bites we had as a side.
Read moreIf you want to be among beautiful people drinking cocktails and eating extravagant vegan food, go here!
Don't go here if you want (also delicious) simple local food. They are both great, but different.
Pros: Quality food, Great view
Cons: Expensive , Cocktails aren't that great

Treehouse style vegan - Edit
Beautiful venue, even the bathrooms are ethereal! The green soup was unreal, a flavour I’d never had before. The fettuccini tasted like packet mix creamy pasta lol. Huge fridge of delicious desserts.

No! - Edit
Echt heel slecht. 8x! Terugkomen van het personeel. Aardige mensen maar het eten was echt slecht. Veel te veel saus. Omdat het meer saus dan eten is zat ik ook het papier wat onder de grill food lag op te eten. Wat een teleurstelling!
Read morePros: Mooie ligging, Fijne sfeer
Cons: Eten met papier er in, Veel te veel saus, Niet lekker

Good food but small portions and expensive - Edit
I almost gave Zest 5 stars for the vegan cheese platter. We had that and the sliders, which were delicious but tiny. The accompaniment we choose for the sliders was sweet potato wedges, of which there were two.
Read moreThe atmosphere was more LA than Bali. I could have done without that.
By far the most expensive meal we’ve had in Bali.

Cons: Expensive

Cool vibe, impressive menu, service can be improved - Edit
I enjoyed the sushi and soup of the day (moringa). The experience was tarnished by some miscommunication. The restaurant redeemed themselves by offering a small discount on the bill however I was a bit put off from returning during my stay to explore more of the menu. A shame as I would have liked to otherwise. Clearly a popular spot for tourists / expats judging by how busy it was when I was there.

Exceptional aesthetics, flawed food - Edit
Zest delivers a 11/10 when it comes to style but when it comes to food and service, misses the mark.
Read moreEverything about Zest’s ambience screams bohemian hippie. The decor is a composite of upscale, cozy, and eccentric. The posh influencers and hippies only add to that effect. The temple and views are equally spectacular. This is a great venue for a date or a celebration.
Sadly, the quality preparation of food is off. The pizza has flavorful smoked sausage and cheese. However, the “sourdough” crust is little more than a flaccid pita as it had been microwaved. The wings are wonderfully crisp and marinated, but has the aftertaste of artificial buttered popcorn. The snikers bar is tasty, but imbalanced between hard chocolate and soft filling.
Further, the servers seem emotionally exhausted whether because of management, understaffed team, or entitled diners. When I had scooter problems some parking staff were helpful while other looked ok indifferently.
UPDATE:
I returned to give it another go.
The shiitake burger is one of the BEST vegan burgers I’ve ever had! A perfect balance between butter bun, savory patty, and creamy cheese.
The cinnamon waffle had great texture, but was hardly “sweet” as advertised. The Cacao Ceremony was nice, but thicker and less sweet than I’d hoped. The small is plenty for one.

Pros: Exceptional aesthetics, Thrilling and unique vegan foods, Shiitake Burger!

Ok - Edit
A beautiful venue, nice atmosphere. Customers are mostly of the neo hippies / influencers kind ...
Read moreThe burger was quite good, the pizza was good ( interesting coconut crust), but not amazing. Also serving cocktail, wines and beers.
Service however can be extremely slow and chaotic as they always seem to be understaffed..

Nice food but long waiting time - Edit
My husband and I were very excited about going to this restaurant because of the ratings here, but it wasn't a great experience. The food is nice and good, but not the best. It's great it's all vegan though, so a lot of options. However, when we went there the restaurant was quite full and it seemed the kitchen couldn't handle the number of guests. After ordering, we had to wait over an hour to get our food and then they had made a mistake with my husband's order so another 15-20 min wait. The portion size is a bit small so normally we'd probably have ordered an extra side dish or dessert after but due to the long waiting we didn't want to risk having to wait a long time again. Also quite pricey for the size of the dishes.
Read moreWhile the food was good, personally we didn't think the taste was worth the long waiting time so we probably won't be back. Seems we weren't the only one as we heard several other guests complain about this also

Best restaurant in Ubud for "fusion" food - Edit
Definitely the most creative and tasty options in Bali. Many westernized or authentic versions of traditional dishes like sushi, carbonara, pizza, and burgers. Definitely not your option for "traditional" Indonesian food, but by far the best food I've had on the island and maybe in my foodie trips. Fair prices, many gluten free options, all servers speak great English.
Read morePros: Great taste, authentic takes on Western food, Fair price, Beautiful setting
Cons: No AC or fans, Closes early

Epic - Edit
Zest is incredible. Perched on what seems to be its own little Ubud hilltop, Zest occupies a commanding vantage point and has some great views of Ubud.
Read moreWe were here a couple of times and we had a fantastic experience on both occasions.
The first time: we went for brunch – the breakfast burger is super delicious. The smoothie was nice and the home made fries were great too.
The second time: we went for lunch – we tried the Peking duck style platter. It was an experience. There were 3 kinds of mock meats, a dipping sauce, some gravy, and generous portions of salad greens and fresh veggies.
Just like the rest of Bali, the staff is warm and you get great value for your money.

Food was nice, but... - Edit
Zest has some amazing views and beautiful trees around, the wait staff were kind and the food we ordered was decent.
Read moreHowever, half of the menu wasn't available, we chose about four items each before being told what actually was available, so what we got wasn't really what we wanted. Also, the portion was quite small considering the price, especially for the burger (I had the fish style burger). My partner had the sushi, which was 8 pieces of one type, but no choice to have eg 4 pieces of two types, which would have made the plate less boring.
The drinks were good, and we didn't order dessert so no comment
Pros: Food tastes good, Great views
Cons: Expensive, Small portion sizes, Many menu items unavailable

A firm favorite - Edit
I ate here at least three times on my trip! It’s an extensive menu so you’re spoilt for choice. I had the pizza, cauliflower wings, jackfruit empanada (those are an absolute must!), potato and cheese balls, the pasta carbonara (best I’ve ever had!) and Ferraro rocher ice cream (sorcery how good it is!) great vibe for a lunch or dinner. Will definitely go back:)
