Moksa Ubud: A Plant-Based Restaurant With Its Own Permaculture Garden in Sayan

From Jalan Raya Sayan you drop into a small lane near Puskesmas Ubud II, and the road narrows until you start doubting you took the right turn. At the end of it sits Moksa: a plant-based restaurant with an open pavilion facing a permaculture garden of roughly 2,500 sqm. Most of what lands on your plate is picked a few steps from the table.

A Kitchen Wired Straight Into the Garden

• Raw and cooked menus side by side — from tempeh ribs and jackfruit-lentil burgers to laksa, green curry and noodles cut from young coconut meat.
• Vegan cheeses and ferments are made in-house rather than imported.
• Vegan desserts with no eggs or dairy, including cakes and coconut- and nut-based ice creams.
• The permaculture garden is open to walk through — ask the staff, who are usually happy to show you the vegetable beds and herbs the kitchen uses.

Atmosphere and Access

• An open timber-and-bamboo structure surrounded by trees — shaded, far from traffic noise, made for a slow meal.
• The entrance lane is narrow and downhill; a scooter is far easier than a car, and parking is limited.
• Ride-hailing drivers sometimes get lost — use Puskesmas Ubud II in Sayan as your landmark.

Tips Before You Go

• Lunch is usually fine as a walk-in; for dinner and weekends, book ahead, as seating is limited.
• Arrive before sunset if you want to see the garden properly.
• Carry cash as a backup — some sources report cash is the safer payment option here.
• Plant-based cooking classes are also on offer if you want more than a meal.
