Zest Ubud

I personally found the restaurant to be a bit intimidating and off-putting, mainly due to the customers rather than the staff (haha! that's not really their fault). I ordered the strawberry waffles and was disappointed as there wasn't enough fruit and the coconut cream was too thick and overpowering. The protein shake was decent, but my husband couldn't even remember what he ordered because it was forgettable. The atmosphere is more suited for a working area rather than a restaurant, which is fine if you want to come back to work instead of enjoying a meal.

I adore everything about this lovely restaurant. The service is outstanding as well.

I was so disappointed at this place. Your food on the menu looks great, but it wasn't delicious enough... Especially for the price! We had the fish teriaky burger and the zest sandwich and then for the desert we have the strawberry waffles and a slice of lemon cake. The savory meals were ok, but too expensive for what it was. You could definitely better taste in other vegan restaurants in Ubud (we have tried Sayuri cure food and seeds of life and WAY BETTER. The waffle was not sweet enough and the whip cream was tasteless... The lemon cake was okay! I'd rather have more lemon flavor inside, but it was okay. For the service the staff was overwhelmed and we waited for every step (with the menu, with a glass of water, order etc... Fortunately, the area is beautiful and we had a live concert...

All desserts and cakes are gluten-free!!! basically everything on the menu that gf is no longer gf hahaha they just don't want to update their menu. but flower wings are, they fire the burgers and are a pasta. gf Bungalow is pretty good and big grill burger is juicy

Zest restaurant offers a diverse menu of creative international vegan cuisine, including burgers, bowls, sushi, salads, sides, drinks, and desserts. Everything we tried was delicious, with highlights being the tempura sushi and jackfruit burger. The atmosphere has a unique expat-Ubud vibe, but the service is warm and helpful, and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant is popular with the international crowd, so it's a good idea to make a reservation, especially during peak hours or when there are live music or events. Enjoy! #Veganuary
