Ubud is a paradise for anyone who loves wholesome, intentional eating. Organic, raw, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and paleo-friendly cafés line the streets, offering a wealth of options for health-conscious travelers. Even after living in Ubud for a month, it can be a challenge to sample them all — and that’s a good problem to have.
Beyond the casual healthy cafés, Ubud also boasts several world-class fine dining restaurants. These upscale venues are ideal for food lovers seeking an elevated experience or a romantic evening out. Many of these chefs welcome dietary restrictions and turn them into culinary opportunities, crafting creative dishes that respect food sensitivities.
As a traveler with celiac disease, finding restaurants that understand and accommodate gluten-free needs is invaluable. If you want an exceptional, worry-free meal in Ubud, consider splurging at one of these three outstanding spots.
