Tips for Vegetarians in Bali
✅ Learn to say “Saya vegetarian” (I’m vegetarian) and “Tanpa ikan/ayam” (without fish/chicken) — to clarify even in local joints
✅ Check the ingredients: Many veg-looking Balinese dishes use fish sauce or shrimp paste — always double-check
✅ Indian restaurants are your best bet: From budget-friendly eateries to premium fine-dine, Indian restaurants dominate Bali’s veg scene.
✅ Snacks for kids: Carry some dry snacks from home in case your child refuses jasmine rice or local food
✅ Carry cash: Smaller restaurants & vendors often don’t accept cards
✅ Be patient: Service in Bali can feel slower than what you’re used to — but the food is worth it!
