Plant-Based Paradise in Bali: A Must-Visit for Vegan and Vegetarian Foodies - Edit
Cuca is a hidden gem for plant-based food lovers in Bali! As someone who frequently seeks vegan and vegetarian options, I was beyond impressed by the creativity and quality of their dishes. The K-POP, a vegan take on Korean bibimbap, was an explosion of flavors with its puffed rice, minced tofu, and tangy Korean chili jam—it felt like comfort food but elevated. The Honey Baked Pumpkin Salad was another standout; the slow-baked pumpkin had a caramel-like richness that paired perfectly with the fresh, locally sourced veggies.
Read moreWhat makes Cuca truly special is the thoughtfulness behind each dish. The chefs clearly care about celebrating plant-based ingredients in the most delicious way possible. The garden ambiance added a magical touch to the entire experience, making it perfect for a relaxing meal.
Cuca isn't just a restaurant—it's a destination for anyone looking to indulge in innovative, plant-forward cuisine. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply love good food, this place is a must-visit. Can't wait to return and explore more of their creative menu!

Vegetarian Dishes with a twist - Edit
Cuca redefines vegetarian dining with creativity and care. The pumpkin salad and broccoli Caesar were vibrant and full of flavor, while the vegetable buns and BBQ tempeh ribs showcased bold, hearty textures. The highlight was the Bali Breakfast dessert—mango yolk with tropical freshness that left a lasting impression. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and celebrated local ingredients in the most delicious way. It’s rare to find vegetarian options that feel this indulgent and satisfying. Highly recommended for anyone seeking exceptional vegetarian cuisine.

Creative and flavorful vegan dishes - Edit
My husband and I went here for Christmas dinner, we chose Cuca because I saw their menu online offering vegan food. We ended up with Chef's selection menu: normal (meat options) and vegan (for me!). To my surprise, they really did a good job catering for vegans. From the creamy edamame dip - vegan Nachos - to the tropical dessert, Bali Breakfast - two of my favorites! Highly recommended for anyone seeking exceptional plant-based cuisine.

Vegan and vegetarian friendly! - Edit
I had an amazing experience at this restaurant that caters to both vegans and vegetarians. The food was not only delicious, but their range of vegetarian options were truly exceptional. I visited the restaurant on New Year's when I had just embarked on my vegan journey and joined the #veganuarian movement. I was delighted to discover this restaurant that perfectly aligned with my dietary choices. It's definitely a go-to spot for anyone looking for delectable vegan and vegetarian dishes!

Great food, veg only menu available - Edit
Fine dining experience with great food. It's tapas style so smaller plates and you order three or so items per person. Two of the three veg dishes I had were phenomenal. Absolutely amazing and I'd order the broccoli Caesar and the innovative nachos again tomorrow in a heartbeat. Wow. There's only one vegan dessert and it's called Bali breakfast. It didn't speak to me so I skipped dessert, which is a bit of a bummer. My cocktail was just ok. I wouldn't order it again. I also asked for lime with my sparkling water and got lemon 🍋 which is just a thing that keeps happening on Bali (and other foreign countries. No big deal). I was served an amuse bouche that was not vegan and I told the waitress I wasn't going to eat it but she left it anyway and said "enjoy". I gave it to the table next to me. When I left, another of the many wait staff asked me if I liked it and I told her that because it's not vegan I didn't eat it and she said, "maybe next time." So... Just be prepared. The staff speak enough English to ask questions but not to answer them. Totally understandable, it's Indonesia after all. Just giving you a heads up. Go to this place. It's amazing.

Perfect harmony of flavors and comfort - Edit
Simply remarkable! Their desserts are on point. And the best part is they're all vegetarian. My absolute favorite was their tea-ramisu, a game-changer! Overall, all the dishes (I've tried) was a delightful blend of flavors, and even though it was a fancy affair, it still felt comfortable. They managed to strike that perfect balance between gourmet and cozy.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant serving great imaginative food. Separate menu for Vegan and Vegetarian options. Loved the BBQ Eggplant and Mushroom Rice. The creative tapas style dishes cater to all food preferences and staff are prepared to answer any questions regarding ingredients. We came 2 times on our trip and loved it both times. The garden is our preferred space for an evening dinner if weather permits. Drinks are just as imaginative as the food and not to be missed!

Epic. This place ticks all the boxes. - Edit
The location is just off the beach and in an arena of tranquility. It’s a special occasion place for sure. The chef makes a special effort to speak to everyone and firmly believes the future is plant based, although only currently 90% himself.
Read moreItems specifically call out vegan, and the staff are fully aware of what that means.
We had the tasting menu which was insane.
Pros: Lots of vegan opts (and plans to go 100% vegan)
