Roots

Known and loved for its endlessly customisable ‘build your own bowls’ (choose from more than 50 fermented, fresh and roasted ingredients!), Roots is all about flavourful, fun, plant-powered dishes. Swing by in the morning for the Plant Power Big Breakfast (best enjoyed on the breezy patio of Roots’ joglo), then for lunch, try a signature bowl or the smoked tofu katsu sando. By night, start with a bruschetta board (the fish-free smoked ‘salmon’ bruschetta is our fave!) before moving onto heartier mains, like the curry vegetable bowl or the grilled mushroom skewers with homemade sambal.

Day to night vegetarian and vegan dining in Pererenan focuses on local flavours and local, seasonal ingredients – and some special cocktails to accompany them. While there are plenty of great breakfast and lunch options, it’s the dinner menu that is really exciting. Order the beetroot tartare, with Dijon truffle aioli, cornichons, crispy leeks, taro chips and smoked salt, or the eggplant tempura bao with black garlic mayo and togarashi.

MENU: Another of the best vegan restaurants in Canggu Bali, Roots has an awesome selection of signature bowls, sandwiches, and all-day breakfast items. Although compared to a local warung the prices are still on the high side, it’s probably the cheapest place on this list. AMBIENCE: This plant-positive joint is full of personality, from its boldly patterned tile floor to the wicker garden chairs that populate the tables.

Roots in Pererenan is serving up tasty salads packed with big, bold flavours. Not only that, but you can also mix and match your own ingredients, picking all your personal favs such as pickles, kimchi, smoked tofu, smoked nuts and a whole host of delicious dressings. In the evening, you can also choose from additional dishes like beetroot tartare, eggplant tempura bao and jackfruit spring rolls.

There’s a heavy emphasis on local Indonesian ingredients and plant-based ideas at Roots, and that’s fine by us. They’ve got awesome fresh lime juice and passion fruit to put in their innovative cocktails, and they’re not afraid to use variations on classic cocktail ingredients either, like orange bitters. Try the Coconut Pandan Negroni and tell us you need to be more impressed.

Roots is still a relatively new vegetarian restaurant in Bali, but it quickly gained popularity and is consistently receiving fantastic reviews. Located in Pererenan, just a quick drive from central Canggu, this has quickly become my go-to spot for an all-veggie lunch. They use seasonal, local ingredients and provide a good selection of vegan options.

Roots is a plant-based café that extends its wholesome philosophy to its cocktail offerings. Their Apple & Snake Fruit Shrub, featuring a mix of local flavors and bourbon, stands out as one of the most unique drinks in Canggu. This venue is perfect for those looking for a healthier, more sustainable way to enjoy their cocktails.

Roots' joglo building features an airy and very cozy interior with the use of wood in almost every corner, complemented by plants for a livelier atmosphere. Overall, the design is just so unique and classic!. Source: @rootsinbali

Roots – Roots is open all day from breakfast until night, so they have two different menus…both of which are incredible. The “build your own bowl” option is always our go-to.

This restaurant is a celebration of fresh, seasonal ingredients. Their innovative vegetarian menu features globally-inspired dishes with a focus on clean eating and flavours.
