Vegetarian Restaurant in Ubud: Where Mixed Groups Can Actually All Eat

Ubud is, comfortably, the plant-based capital of Bali. Whatever you’re skipping — meat, dairy, gluten, sugar — someone in this town has built a whole menu around it. Great news if you eat that way. Slightly less great if you’ve turned up with someone who doesn’t.

That’s the real question hiding inside most searches for a vegetarian restaurant in Ubud. It’s rarely just “where can I eat?” It’s “where can all of us eat, without anyone feeling like they settled?”

The group problem nobody mentions

If you’ve travelled with mixed eaters, you know the routine. One person’s happy with a bowl. The next doesn’t count a salad as dinner. Someone just wants a good coffee and a burger. So you either split up, or you pick a middle-ground place where nobody’s really thrilled.

Flock wasn’t built to be a vegetarian restaurant. It was built as an all-day spot where the plant-based dishes get the same care as everything else — which, it turns out, is what most groups actually need. Eat only plants, and there’s real food here for you. Eat everything, and you’re covered too. Nobody has to eat badly so someone else can eat well.

What’s actually vegan on the menu

Four dishes, and we’d rather name them than wave at a vague “plant-based section.”

Tempeh Salad — IDR 80,000 Roasted tempeh with dried tomato, avocado, cashew, and mixed salad, dressed with either lemon mustard or lemon thyme. Tempeh is Indonesian, fermented, and properly protein-dense, which is why this lands like a meal and not a side. It’s one of the kitchen’s favourites — we went deeper on it here.

Avo Toast — IDR 80,000 Sourdough, avocado, tomato salsa, sun-dried tomatoes, cilantro. On the breakfast menu, 7AM to 12PM. People are always a little surprised by how loaded it is — this isn’t a smear of avocado on dry bread.

Pomodoro Pasta — IDR 95,000 Spaghetti with a house-made tomato sauce. Simple on purpose, and — this part matters — it’s on the lunch and dinner menu. Most of Ubud’s vegan cooking clusters around breakfast, so a plant-based dinner that isn’t another salad is harder to find than it should be.

Summer Rolls — IDR 60,000 Avocado, carrot, cucumber, Thai basil, mint, and chili with a hoisin dip. A side, but a good one to put in the middle of the table.

If you eat dairy

The menu opens up a lot. Smoothie bowls, the Margherita Pizza, House Fries, and most of the pastry counter are all vegetarian.

One straight answer for strict vegetarians: a few of our cheese-heavy dishes — Classic Pesto Pasta, Triple Cheese Pizza, Triple Cheese Sandwich — use grana padano and gorgonzola, which are traditionally made with animal rennet. If that’s a line you don’t cross, good to know before you order. Ask your server and they’ll steer you to what works.

For coffee, plant milk is on offer across the board — oat, soy, almond, or coconut — for an extra IDR 15,000.

So, is Flock a vegetarian restaurant in Ubud?

Not quite — vegetarian-friendly is the honest label. Pork, beef, chicken, and seafood are all on the menu, and it’s one shared kitchen.

We’re upfront about that because it changes who we’re right for. If you’re strict vegan and need a fully separate kitchen with zero cross-contact, Ubud has excellent dedicated vegan places, and you should go to one of those. But if you’re vegetarian, plant-curious, or you just want a meal built around vegetables that doesn’t feel like a penalty, you’ll eat well here — and so will whoever you dragged along. If it’s the healthy-eating angle you’re after, we’ve written about that too.

Tell your server about any allergy or dietary restriction when you order.

What to drink

The kombucha is brewed in-house in small batches, and it’s naturally vegan. Six flavours rotate — Rosella Strawberry, Jasmine Apple, Pineapple Ginger, Nutmeg Boost, Rosemary Jalapeño, Kiamboy Tamarind — plus a house-made ginger beer. Tart, lightly fizzy, and far less sweet than juice.

The cold-pressed juices are all plant-based too. The All Green — kale, spinach, romaine, cucumber, celery, apple — is the one for people who mean it.
