tiny portions, but beautiful restaurant

this place has a really massive menu, amazing for vegans.

you can even choose cacao by strength, according to your taste buds.

BUT portions are reallllly tiny, and in my opinion not worth the money for what is considered an expensive restaurant in Ubud. Locals wouldn't be able to afford to eat here.

the decor and location are wonderful, though.

Pros: Decor/ambiance, friendly staff

Cons: Portions are too small

Definitely worth the visit, great vibe and complete vegan menu which I feel was resonanbly priced. I had pizza and jackfruit ribs. My partner had a burger all was really good. The showstopper for me was the array of deserts which were amazing

Pros: Large selection of deserts, Good vibe

Cons: Bit out of the way

Extensive drinks menu

I went there for coffee and the drinks were delicious. I also had the cucumber granita. Lovely atmosphere!

Perfect for date night

Booked a table at Zest for a fancier dinner while we were in Ubud and it did not disappoint.

The crushed & crispy baby potatoes are some of the best I've ever had, crunchy and perfectly matched with the chipotle mayo. The raw lasagne was a huge portion of creamy cashew and tangy tomato sauces layered with fresh vegetables, my partner's vegan schnitzel was just as good.

The ceremonial cacao was rich and we loved that you could customise it with various additional flavouring and cream options. Dessert was also a winner, with the tiramisu being the stand out - we fought over the last pieces.

It is quite a busy place, so would strongly recommend booking to ensure you get a table, and while I loved the "shoes off" vibe, my partner wasn't as convinced. It is also on the pricier side of your food options in Ubud, so would save it for a special occasion or when you're looking to be less casual.

Delicious food!!

So many great options to choose from, it was hard to choose!

On the pricier side but definitely worth it. The mango sticky rice and seaweed waffle were delicious!

Delicious food and cozy atmosphere!

I tried the rosery kombucha which was really good. The vegan schnitzel with mushrooms was really delicious as well and especially the sauce on top of it was awesome!

Get the Savoury Seaweed Waffles

Zest Ubud is set on a mountain and has excellent views. There is a very unique aesthetic that this place has when you walk into it, with trees growing inside as well interesting statues along the walls. When I came in the morning, it was very busy, maybe 70% occupied, so it seems to be very popular. I highly recommend the savoury seaweed waffles here which were spectacular. I have never seen a seaweed waffle before so was curious to try it, and it was really good.

Pros: Beautiful aesthetics and views , Excellent food

Cons: Can get very busy

Great food & amazing menu

The menu had so many amazing options that it was difficult to choose. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was nice. Zest has that Balinese vibe 🌿

Pros: Amazing food, Versatile menu, Cozy atmosphere

Great flavours but some uncooked food

Great views and had a traditional Balinese feel about the place.

The food had great flavours however some parts were cold/uncooked was a shame.

A slight gripe is that there are a lot of “traveller Vibes” people who were sat on tables - which is not where you then want to eat food from.

Beware though, the cheese balls come with mayonnaise all over the plate and this is not mentioned on the menu.

Amazing atmosphere

Creative options here, i had the plant steak with gravy/ cheese balls and another time had one of the salads. Both really delicious. Deserts look fun as well but full from the main courses both times! View and atmosphere is gorgeous.

Unique atmosphere

Just the atmosphere and the view are already a reason for a visit at Zest, add the delicious food and the amazing desserts and it makes a perfect evening😄You definitely pay more for everything around than just the food but the experience is worth it 👌🏻

Legendary zest

One of those OG in Ubud. Might be a bit too much for some, it attracts all kinds of spiritual people, but the food is real nice :)
P.s.: bring back the double choco croissant & syrniki pls

Pros: Coffee, Pancakes , Royal brekkie platter

Cons: Grim atmosphere at times, Changing menu and removing my fav stuff, A tad inconsistent

Decent food, really good service

Overall it was pretty good, but some stuff could be better. The mash was cold and the sauce for the ribs wasn't to our taste, but the cauli wings were nice and the lava cake was really good.
We enjoyed it but I wouldn't rave about it, we probably preferred the food at other vegan restaurants close by.

The vibe wasn't really our thing, felt a bit pretentious and a bit more of a showy "look how vegan I am" type crowd, but that alone wouldn't put me off going there.

A vegan must!

100% vegan menu!
We started with three cheeze balls and cauliflower wings!
Then moved onto burgers!
1 teriyaki banana blossom and a triple stack!
Delicious flavours!

Fantastic atmosphere and amazing food!

We came here several times while staying in Ubud. The food was always incredibly delicious. Our favorite dish was the three mini burgers. Also, they serve great desserts as well. A must visit, not only for vegans 😍

Pros: Completely vegan , Healthy options, Staff is very attentive

Cons: Definitely one of the pricier restaurants in Ubud

Amazing

Great atmosphere, outstanding food, friendly customer service. This place is a must try in Ubud.

The Tempura mushroom was particularly excellent, the chicken amazing and the Burger a bit disappointing compared to the other dishes.

Pretty setting

If you want to go for a pretty setting, this is one to try.

I had the pizza and it was okay but I read that others options were better. Didn't have time to try other things, but I would have like to give them another go. Definitively worth a visit.
