Best veggie food in Ubud

I simply love this place. Food is soooo delicious. Would give 5 stars if HC allowed me. The menu is endless. Wish my stomach was more huge. They explain a lot about their philosophy at their menu, which is a newspaper.
I loved the place, the staff, the food. You need to go here.

There's a tiny shop too, which is nice and cosy too, but often crowded.

nice place, good cakes

Really friendly staff, I had the raw tropical cake that was good and my partner had the apple crumble cake(not vegan). His slice was really big and he said that it was delicious. Price ok for what you get.

the only bakery to go to

I didn’t eat here, but frequented the bakery daily. Charcoal buns are mint!

Relaxing and yummy

We got vegetarian fried rice (w/o egg) and coconut tofu curry. Both were yummy, but the coconut curry was a bit bland. Kids got grilled cheese and a margarita pizza and both gobbled it down. They also loved the fresh lemonade. Spring rolls were delish, especially dipped in peanut sauce. Cappuccino with almond milk and (coconut?) sugar was a little slice of heaven!

Pros: nice, relaxing environment, options for vegetarian children

was okay!

I had the vegan pizza my partner had the vegetarian lasagne. Although my pizza was a bit bland not too exciting my partner loved the veggie lasagne and it was a massive serving! The service was a bit slow though, would return if in area but nothing too exciting , many better options in and around ubud

never again

I wanna make clear that my review is for the restaurant, not for the shop (which I think is great to buy shampoo, soap, kombucha etc).
Staff is really unfriendly, I feel especially if you aren't dressed fancy. I ordered the eggplant wrap, which they told me is vegan. And surprise it came without eggplant?!? Argh, why could they not tell me that while ordering. Also there was no sauce or so and it was super dry and tasteless. I tried to complain and get a discount, but staff didn't see their mistake and seemed to not care.
Also prices are in general too high for what you get. I'll definitely never go there again!

Disappointed

This place is very famous and always overcrowded. You can wait a lot for have your food . Staff is not so friendly and food is nothing special . They write on the menu about saving planet or about the environment and they have fish in their menu .

Burnt pizza and watery curry! :(

My boyfriend and I heard great things about this place so decided to check it out. As a vegan they had quite a few options but I was really disappointed with the curry I ordered and my boyfriends pizza was very overdone. Service was ok. We really wanted to love it but it was a total let down! Maybe we were just unlucky!

No consistancy

I went here twice, I ordered the pumpkin ravioli, the first time it was delicious. Really, amazing! So I went back and ordered it again. It was awful. It was under cooked and the ravioli were all stuck together as one.
It was a disappointing experience.

Pros: Nice atmophere, heatlhy food

Cons: no consistancy

One of my favourites in Ubud!

I love Bali Buda so much, lucky for me it's just at the end of my road! They have an amazing range of fresh juices, smoothies and my favourite chai tea on homemade soy milk

Good Food

Yummy food and very friendly staff. Go there if you wanna alternate between the other amazing restaurants in Ubud. Unfortunately there is Not that much raw food available. But at least some is available!

Great juices

We stopped here for a quick drink, I had the 'beat the heat juice' (beet, celery, cucumber and parsley) and a wheatgrass shot. Good service, nice drinks, the menu looked varied with lots of vegan options.

Pros: Off the Main Street so a nice quiet spot, Lots of vegan options

We love Bali Buddha

We stayed in Ubud for a week and ate at Bali Buddha almost every meal. They have a wide range of interesting and reasonably priced vegan food, great juices, wonderful atmosphere and happy service. We coudln't fault the place and can't wait to go back.

Pros: great vegan food, great atmosphere, lots of choice

Cons: none

Lovely restaurant

This was a lovely restaurant. The food was not the tastiest ever (more spices thank you) and a bit too expensive to eat or drink as much as I wanted. But it has nice atmosphere and interesting and wide menu.

Pros: wide menu, good looking food, great drinks

Cons: not tasty enough, a bit expensive

Awesome!

I love Bali Buddha. It's worth going to Ubud just for Bali Buddha. The smoothies are wonderful - where else can you find cranberry in a smoothie? The food is incredible - so many choices that one visit is simply not enough. The atmosphere is laid-back and peaceful. It's true that it is not 100% vegetarian, but the non-vegetarian items are limited to one small section (part of a page) on their extensive (about 8 pages) menu. My veggie club sandwich a few days ago was so thick I had to eat it layer-by-layer. Very messy, but so what. All part of the experience.

Pros: delicious meals, great selection, healthy

Serves meat, but still divine!

Bali Buddha is one of those restaurants around the world that serve meat, yet people flock their more for their veg options. the choice is extensive, the food is fresh and delicious and filling, the service is pleasant, and a very quiet unobtrusive ambience away from the main center of Ubud. I had the enchilada that was one of the best I have had. Very reasonable priced for Bali.

Pros: Value, Quality, Location

Cons: Serves meat

Great food - poor service!

The food in this place is really nice, it is a pity that the service is so bad. We had to wait for an hour for our mains and when they arrived they got it all wrong. If you are prepared to wait and to have some patience this is the place to go.

Loved it!

I loved Bali Buddha. Friends and I visited Bali Buddha a number of times and were very impressed with the menu, options, presentation and flavour. Would highly recommend it. As with most places in Bali the service is not so great.

Pros: Great choice, Fresh, Clean

Fantastic!!!

When I was last in Ubud (9/2006) my wife and I loved the food so much we probably ate there at least 9 times per week. The place and food was exceptionally clean. Great selection of mostly raw dishes from what I remember. All of them wonderfully pleasing to the palate. A nice blend of western and exotic.

There may have been 1 non-veg dish on the menu but I do not remember for sure. Mostly frequented by folks looking for veg/vegan/raw food.

Generally we found the service to be quite fast.

I think we considered this to be our finest dining experience anywhere in the world.

Pros: Open air, upscale traditional, Friendly staff and mellow atmosphere, Good value for great food

good

Had a great raw plate and a few other tasty things here. Service in the evening was very slow - 40 minutes to get my food, the standard in Bali?

Pros: ambience, clean, tasty

Cons: service, dead flesh

A bit of a disappointment

We had high hopes for Bali Buddha and ate there twice, but were somewhat disappointed with our experiences there. First, the restaurant is not completely vegetarian...they serve chicken, use dairy, etc. Also, we were told by our waitress that the samosas were vegan, only to later read the ingredients label in the market and learn that they are actually made with butter. The atmosphere was a plus and the vegan food that we ate was good, but we were upset by the number of non-vegan and non-vegetarian items on the menu, as well as the misleading information by the waitstaff. The compassion implied by the restaurant's name is underminded by the inclusion of animal products on the menu and seems more for marketing appeal than a wholehearted commitment to non-violence.

Pros: vegetarian options, raw food selections, good atmosphere

Cons: non-vegetarian options, misuse of Buddha's name

I was at Bali Buddha last week and on many marketing leaflets etc. they now write Bali Buda. I don't know if this is just because they can't spell their own name properly ;-) or whether they have understood that using the name of Buddha was maybe not the best thing to do.
