Alkaline Vegan Restaurant Review: A Healthy Dining Experience in Canggu

Alkaline Vegan Restaurant, Canggu

Damar

Alkaline Vegan Restaurant, nestled within the serene surroundings of Serenity Eco Guesthouse in Canggu, offers a unique culinary experience that caters to health-conscious diners. The restaurant’s ambiance is tranquil, enhanced by the calming music that plays softly in the background, making it an ideal spot to unwind after a yoga session.

One of the standout dishes is the Tempe & Tofu Curry, served with local organic brown rice. This dish embodies the essence of wholesome, plant-based cuisine, showcasing the rich flavors of tempeh and tofu. However, the restaurant’s offerings can be a mixed bag, as reflected in various customer reviews.

One visitor noted, “I had a coconut and a smoothie bowl, both of which were delicious. There is currently construction happening around it, so the atmosphere is a little noisy (I wore headphones). It’s attached to a yoga studio, which was nice; I had no idea until I got there.” This highlights the restaurant’s connection to wellness, although the ongoing construction may detract from the overall experience.

Another guest shared their experience with the vegan ice cream tiramisu, stating, “It tastes good but somehow boring… I think it’s very easy to melt and ruin the taste.” This suggests that while the ingredients are natural, the execution may need refinement to elevate the dining experience.

On a more positive note, a customer who visited after a yoga class remarked, “Wonderful yoga session and delicious, healthy food to follow. I ordered the avocado toast on moringa bread. The moringa bread had a slightly sour and herby taste which complemented the avocado toast.” This indicates that some dishes, like the avocado toast, are well-received and showcase the restaurant’s commitment to using whole, clean ingredients.

However, not all feedback has been favorable. One dissatisfied patron expressed their disappointment, stating, “For 65k and nothing but rice noodles with almost no veggies… I think this place is kinda a joke.” This review underscores the importance of value for money, suggesting that some dishes may not meet customer expectations in terms of portion size and flavor.

Overall, Alkaline Vegan Restaurant presents a promising option for those seeking healthy, vegan meals in a peaceful setting. While there are areas for improvement, particularly in consistency and value, the restaurant’s dedication to wholesome ingredients and a calming atmosphere makes it worth a visit for health enthusiasts and vegan diners alike.

Hey there! So, I recently checked out this cool spot called Alkaline Vegan Restaurant, tucked away in the Serenity Eco Guesthouse area on Jalan Nelayan in Canggu. Let me tell you, it was a pretty chill experience! The food gets a solid 4.3/5.0, service is top-notch at 4.7/5.0, and the vibe is nice with a 4.5/5.0 rating. Perfect for brunch or dinner, and the prices are pretty reasonable too—around Rp125,000-150,000 for brunch and Rp100,000-125,000 for dinner.

I ordered a few dishes, including the Tempe & Tofu Curry (no custom), extra tempe or tofu, and local organic brown rice. Everything was delicious! Seriously, the flavors were on point. I even heard someone say, “The flax seed crackers were amazing. So much flavor and so crunchy!” And I totally agree! The pumpkin soup was simple yet healthy, and I just wish there was more sweet potato in my dish. The food was amazing as always, but I did have a little mishap with the vegetable soup spilling everywhere. They might want to think about upgrading their packaging!

Other diners had some mixed feelings too. One person raved about it being the “best salad in Canggu, and probably in Bali,” and they loved the portion sizes. But then there was a complaint about the extra charge for rice, which seemed a bit ridiculous. I mean, who wants to pay an extra 25K for rice, right?

It’s a bit hidden from the crowded areas, but still close to Nelayan beach. I tried their recommended vegan ice cream tiramisu in a glass jar, and while it tasted good, it was a bit boring. The spinach and moringa leaf pastry was a letdown too—thick and tasteless pastry skin with bland filling. But hey, the salad side was definitely better!

Overall, I had a wonderful time enjoying healthy food served by friendly staff. I’ve visited many times while staying in Canggu, and I can’t recommend it enough. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Bali!
