Sayuri Healing Food – transparently healthy food in the heart of Ubud.

If you live in Ubud and love healthy indulgent food you won’t go a Wednesday without Sayuri’s mac and cheese bowl or a full moon without the Blessing Cake. The rest of the week you’ll probably feed on their bowls and reishi tea. It’s a one-stop for a healthy plant eater residing in the yoga centre of Bali. This lively eatery is your go-to for delicious and transparently healthy food; the owner behind the amazing restaurant is the creative Sayuri Tanaka with decades of experience in raw food and vegan cuisine. If you wanted to follow her path, Sayuri offers raw food courses at their beautiful location in Central Ubud. What I love most about this cafe is that you know what everything on the menu is made from.

From garlic coconut croutons to dragon fruit granola, all made in-house – the food here has been created as art; directly delivered to your plate from an equipped raw food kitchen from heaven; the meals are full of prana and give the vegan diet a good nutritional rep. My go-to recommendation with nutrition in mind would be their Nourish bowl with cashew nibbles and miso wasabi dressing. On the other hand, if you are looking for a pick me up, this one – nostalgic of your naughty food habits, is the BOMB by title – An iced beverage of your choice, say matcha or café latte with vanilla ice cream and coconut whipped cream, drizzled with your choice of strawberry coulis or dark chocolate syrup; Also available as a gluten-free waffle! Make sure to grab a Medicinal Mushroom Bean-to-Bar Chocolate on your way out – just like everything at Sayuri’s they make their own chocolate too. This is the type of restaurant you just can’t help but get attached to.
