About this tour
Spend three hours in Penestanan exploring plant-based cooking through tasting stops across Ubud's quieter neighbourhoods. You'll walk past rice paddies and village compounds, stopping to eat dishes built from local produce: jackfruit rendang, vegan sushi, plant-based lasagna, and savoury burgers, plus gado-gado with peanut sauce, papaya salad, and coffee. The tour connects you with the chefs behind these meals and shows how Balinese ingredients work in vegetable-forward kitchens.

What to expect
You'll start early morning or midday and walk at an easy pace through Penestanan's quieter lanes, pausing at different kitchens and small restaurants. Each stop serves one or two dishes, designed to show how chefs use local vegetables, grains, and spices in creative ways. Portions are small—you're tasting, not feasting at one table. Between eating you'll chat with cooks about their approach and see how they source ingredients nearby. Expect about 1.5 hours of walking and 1.5 hours of eating across 4–5 stops.
Good to know
