Plant Based Food Tour in Ubud

Robyn is amazing! This was a beautifully planned walking tour of Penestanan. The restaurants are well selected and the food was delicious and Robyn & Ayu share so much about the area and the culture. I highly recommend this tour and will be doing it next time I'm in Ubud! Well planned with love and intention! Thank you for a great day!

The Plant Based Food Tour is a wonderful, affordable way to experience vegan Ubud. You'll visit some of the best spots in beautiful Penestanan and will be guided by Robyn and her team, who are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Bali, its culture, and its delicious food.

I had a great time on this tour with my mates! The coffee tasting was a real highlight, all arabica beans grown in Bali, and each one had a unique flavor. I was also pleasantly surprised by the raw vegan lasagne — not something I’d normally order, but it was seriously good! I’m not plant-based but the food in Ubud is so tasty I can see why so many people talk about it! We tried so many different dishes — maybe 14 things overall — and it was a total taste explosion. Walking and talking in between stops was a fun way to explore, and our guide was fun and super engaging. It was also great to meet other foodie travelers along the way. I’d definitely love to do another tour with Bali Culinary Tours!

Such a fun experience! My girlfriends and I joined the Ubud food tour as part of our girls trip, and it ended up being one of our favourite days. We loved meeting other food lovers from around the world and getting to know our Balinese guide — he was so warm and funny, and shared so much about Balinese culture along the way. The food was honestly amazing — we went to some of the best restaurants in Ubud. The menu Bali Culinary Tours curated at each stop was perfect. We tried so many things, I felt totally spoilt! Some of the chefs even came out to talk to us, and we got to try a few dishes that weren’t even on the menu yet. Such a special and unique experience. Highly recommended!

I joined this tour with a couple of friends and we had such a great time! I’m vegetarian, so I really appreciated the variety of plant-based tastings — there was so much food and it was all absolutely delicious. Each restaurant gave us a small tasting of 3 or 4 different dishes, which was a great way to get to know the menu and discover new favourites. I especially loved the gado gado roll with creamy cashew sauce and the vegan carbonara — so tasty! Some of the chefs even came out to tell us more about the food, which was such a nice touch and made the experience feel really special. The storytelling from our guide about Balinese culture and cuisine added a lot to the tour, and now I feel like I know all the best places to eat in Ubud. A unique experience I’ve never done before — highly recommend!

I’m a chef working on yachts and I love to eat when I travel so I joined this tour to explore the best plant-based restaurants in Ubud — and wow, it exceeded all expectations. Every dish was creative and full of flavour. The raw ravioli with creamy cashew cheese was incredible, the jackfruit rendang was rich and comforting, and the raw vegan lasagne (with pineapple!) totally surprised me — perfectly balanced. The smoky jackfruit empanadas were next level, and the marinated watermelon sushi was an explosion of umami. The gelato at the end was the perfect sweet finish, it was just like the gelato in Italy! I’m leaving with so much inspiration. I also really appreciated the storytelling from the guide — it added great context to the food and gave me a deeper insight into life in Bali. An unforgettable experience.

My boyfriend and I usually go for more active things when we travel — hiking, surfing, that kind of adventure — so this food tour in Ubud was something different for us, and we absolutely loved it! The social aspect was a highlight — we met such lovely people and had great conversations between stops. It was also a great way to learn more about Balinese culture from the guide. It was so interesting and he is a lot of fun. And wow, the food… so delicious! The vegan Italian spot was definitely a standout — the carbonara and tiramisu were amazing. I also really loved the restaurant with the tree growing in the middle of it. The chef came out to share how Bali inspires his food, which made the experience feel so personal and special. Such a fun and tasty way to explore in Bali.

Such a food wonderful tour in Ubud! Our whole family are real foodies, and this experience was a highlight of our trip. We visited 5 amazing restaurants, and got to taste so many things on their menus — my favourites were the jackfruit rendang, the watermelon sushi and the vegan tiramisu! The walk between each stop was beautiful and such a nice way to explore the area. Our guide took us through narrow jungle pathways lined with lush greenery, flowers, and fruit trees. Penestanan is such a charming neighbourhood, and our guide was knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend for food lovers and anyone wanting a taste of life in Bali!

If you're looking for a plant-based food experience that goes beyond just great flavours—one that truly celebrates local ingredients, sustainability, and Balinese culture—this tour is it! The food was undeniably the highlight—it is hard to pick a favourite between the jackfruit rendang, watermelon sushi, or the pumpkin gnocchi! Each stop was carefully selected not only for the food but also for its commitment to organic farming, sustainability, and deep respect for Balinese culture and creating harmony with the land. I really enjoyed meeting some of the chefs and learning more from them about their inspiration. The service was exceptional, and you could feel the genuine heart and soul poured into every aspect of the tour. We also really enjoyed walking through Penestanan, past rice fields, then over the river and under a lush canopy of trees. It's a lovely scenic walk. We learned about the spiritual significance of the Campuhan River, where two sacred waters merge, creating a powerful energy that has long drawn artists, healers, and creatives to this area. The storytelling throughout the experience brought so much depth to the tour, making it feel like more than just a food tour. A truly fun, inspiring and unique afternoon well spent. Can't wait to do another one with Bali Culinary Tours soon!

A very special tour, highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore Balinese culture and cuisine in the heart of Ubud. Absolutely worth doing again. See you soon!
