Healthy Restaurants in Bali

JOURNAL – TRAVEL

I spent New Years eating my way through Bali. Here are my top healthy restaurant picks.

Bali has been on the bucket-list for a while, and I finally had a chance to go for a friend’s 30th birthday party, which happened to coincide with New Years.

While there, I chose to get up early for the gym and to explore the neighboring towns and healthy restaurants. I managed to hit quite a few places in 4 days…so here are my top picks!

UBUD

Five Elements

Five Elements was my absolute favorite restaurant in Bali. Part of a larger retreat center, the restaurant is nestled amongst lush gardens and greenery. You can take meditation and yoga classes, or book a healing massage and other interesting modalities, which take place in gorgeous huts along a river.

We came here for lunch, and everything looked so good, we nearly ordered the whole menu. Everything is 100% plant-based.

We ordered sushi, the dumplings, jackfruit tacos…and one was better than the next. The red beet burger was pretty good, but what most impressed me was the homemade rice-based gluten-free bun. This is an absolute must-visit when in Ubud.

Moksa

There is a pretty large menu with a mix of raw and cooked foods (which changes for lunch and dinner), and a range of smoothies, juices, and desserts. Definitely worth a stop when in Ubud, both for the location and the food.

Cafe Organic was a cute little place across the street from the W hotel, that was always buzzing. They are open only for breakfast, brunch, and lunch, with a varied menu of smoothies, smoothie bowls, eggs, and mostly plant-based dishes. We ate here a few times. The food was pretty basic, but good, and the vibe and atmosphere more than made up for it.

The Spicy Coconut

They had a delicious-sounding gluten-free bread, which I was bummed I didn’t get to try, as they were sold out for the day by the time I got there around 3pm. Of course, like most places in Bali, they also served fresh coconut water, straight from the coconut, as well as a variety of juices and smoothies.
