Alchemy Ubud: The Pioneer of Raw & Vegan Dining in Penestanan

For lovers of healthy food, Alchemy is a legendary name in Ubud. Set on Jl. Penestanan Kelod, this café and restaurant pioneered the 100% raw, plant-based, and vegan concept in Bali, with a menu that is fresh, colourful, and nourishing.

The Iconic Salad Bar

The main draw is the build-your-own salad bar: help yourself to an array of vegetables, grains, and raw dressings, then pay by weight. The concept is free-form and suits vegans, vegetarians, or anyone simply wanting to eat clean.

Menu Favourites

Beyond the salad bar, many come for the colourful smoothie bowls, cold-pressed juices, raw cakes, and health tonics. Everything is made without heat so the nutrients stay intact.

• Salad bar (by weight): usually around Rp90–160k depending on portion
• Smoothie bowl: around Rp60–90k
• Cold-pressed juice & tonics: around Rp45–75k
• Raw cake & dessert: around Rp50–80k

Vibe, Hours & Getting There

Alchemy sits on the quiet jungle edge of Penestanan, away from the bustle of central Ubud. It usually opens from morning until early evening — ideal for a healthy breakfast, lunch, or a relaxed hangout. It's about 10–15 minutes from central Ubud by ride-hailing or taxi.
