Finding genuinely healthy food in Uluwatu — food that is locally sourced, cooked without shortcuts, and honest about what goes into it — is harder than it should be. Most cafes in the area talk the wellness talk. Very few actually build their entire operation around it. Mood by Ours is one of the rare exceptions.
Built on a simple but uncompromising philosophy — farm to table, no seed oils, no added sugar — Mood is not just a healthy cafe in Uluwatu. It is a complete food ecosystem: an organic farm in Bedugul growing over 75% of what appears on the plate, a kitchen that cooks everything fresh to order, and an on-site organic market where you can take the same ingredients home. From a light morning salad to a full grass-fed steak dinner, every dish at Mood is built on the same foundation of real, locally sourced food.
Whether you are a vegan looking for a plant-based cafe in Uluwatu, someone who needs gluten-free options, or simply a traveller tired of eating food that makes you feel worse rather than better, this is the guide to what Mood offers and why it stands apart.
The Philosophy: What Farm-to-Table Actually Means at Mood
The phrase farm-to-table gets used loosely across Bali’s food scene. At Mood by Ours, it is a literal description of the supply chain. The Ours Group owns and operates OURS Farm in Bedugul, North Bali — an organic farm in the island’s fertile highlands. More than 75% of the produce served at Mood is grown there, harvested daily, and transported directly to the Uluwatu kitchen. The vegetables on your plate were in the ground yesterday.
That level of traceability is exceptionally rare. It means Mood can guarantee the absence of pesticides, the freshness of every leaf, and the seasonal integrity of the menu — not as a marketing claim, but as a fact of how the business is structured.
Layered on top of that is a cooking philosophy that goes further than most:
- 100% seed-oil free: beef tallow for frying, grass-fed butter and olive oil for cooking, coconut oil for vegan dishes. No canola, sunflower, or vegetable oil anywhere in the kitchen.
- No added sugar: across every dish on the menu, every drink, every sauce and dressing.
- No preservatives: every item prepared fresh to order. Allow 20–30 minutes — it is worth it.
- Locally sourced proteins: grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, and fresh fish from trusted local suppliers, not imported commodity meat.

Vegan & Vegetarian Options: A Genuine Vegan Cafe in Uluwatu
Mood is not a exclusively vegan cafe — but it is one of the best options for vegan and vegetarian food in Uluwatu precisely because every dish is built around whole, plant-forward ingredients regardless of whether meat is included. The menu is clearly labelled with dietary icons: (v) vegetarian, (vg) vegan, (va) vegan available, and (gf) gluten-free.
Vegan & Vegetarian Breakfast
- Home-made Granola (vg, gf) — 65: house Greek yogurt, mixed berries, honey. Simple and nourishing.

For the most complete picture of plant-based options, the Mood menu labels every dish clearly so you can filter by dietary need at a glance.
Fresh Salads & Light Dishes: Clean Eating Done Right
One of the most underrated aspects of Mood’s menu is how well it handles fresh salads and lighter dishes — food that feels genuinely restorative rather than a compromise. Because everything is made from farm-grown, seasonal produce, even the simplest salad at Mood carries a depth of flavour that is difficult to replicate with supermarket ingredients.
Watermelon Salad (vg, gf) — 68
Watermelon, goat cheese, and mint. Served as a starter at lunch and dinner, this is one of the most refreshing dishes on the menu — the kind of clean, simple combination that only works when the produce is genuinely fresh. Perfect for Uluwatu’s heat.
Burrata Salad — 125
House-made burrata, cherry tomato, basil, focaccia, olive oil. This is a salad that feels like an occasion. The burrata is made in-house — a detail that makes a significant difference in texture and flavour. A standout dish for anyone who appreciates quality ingredients left largely alone.
Grilled Chicken & Feta Mood Bowl (gf) — 135
Avocado, sweet potato, cauliflower rice, pickles, cucumber, tomato, hummus, and yogurt. Labelled as a lean protein, healthy fats, and probiotic meal — this is the benchmark for a complete, balanced lunch plate. The cauliflower rice instead of standard rice is a considered swap that keeps the dish light without sacrificing satisfaction.
Grilled Salmon Mood Bowl (gf) — 185
Sushi rice, avocado, edamame, carrots, cabbage, cucumber, and nori. A premium brain-health and recovery meal — rich in omega-3s and the kind of micronutrient density that you feel after eating, not just during. One of the highest-value dishes on the menu for health-conscious diners.
Poke Bowl — 135
Tuna or salmon (+40), sushi rice, avocado, mixed veggies, ponzu, corn tortilla. Rich in omega-3s, fibre, and vitamins for brain health. A lighter alternative to the cooked Mood Bowls with a similar nutritional profile.
Protein Bowl (gf) — 165
Beef, soft-boiled eggs, cottage cheese, avocado, sweet potato, and broccoli. Designed for muscle recovery and hormone balancing — the most macro-conscious option on the lunch menu. Favoured by surfers and athletes staying in Uluwatu.
Healthy Sandwiches & Wraps: Locally Sourced, No Shortcuts
The Wraps & Sandos section of the menu shows how healthy sandwiches in Uluwatu can be done without compromise. All are served with fries or salad, and all are built on proper bread — sourdough and focaccia baked fresh — with fillings sourced to the same standard as everything else on the menu.
Chicken Wrap — 95
Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado, chipotle sauce, sweet potato. A clean, well-balanced wrap that works equally well as a late breakfast or lunch. The chipotle sauce is house-made — no commercial condiments hidden in the filling.
Halloumi Wrap (v) — 115
The same build as the chicken wrap but with halloumi — one of the best vegetarian options for anyone wanting something filling and satisfying without meat. The combination of halloumi, avocado, and chipotle sauce is a genuinely excellent flavour combination.
Papas Sando — 125
Focaccia, salami, ham, provolone, lettuce, onion, tomato, jalapeño, aioli. A proper Italian-style sandwich on house-baked focaccia. This is the most indulgent option in the sandwiches section, but the ingredient quality — particularly the provolone and house aioli — lifts it above standard cafe fare.
CLUB Sando — 120
Sourdough, chicken, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, mayo. A classic club sandwich executed with real ingredients. The sourdough is baked in-house, the chicken is free-range, the bacon comes from a trusted local supplier.
Prosciutto & Burrata — 145
Focaccia, house-made burrata, rucula, sun-dried tomato. The premium option in this section. The house-made burrata reappears here — paired with prosciutto and sun-dried tomato on freshly baked focaccia, this is a restaurant-quality open sandwich that happens to be one of the healthiest options on the menu.
Mains: Locally Sourced, Whole-Ingredient Cooking
Mood’s mains menu at lunch and dinner covers a range of cuisines — Asian, European, grilled — all prepared with the same locally sourced, seed-oil-free standard. The kitchen flame-grills meats without any added oils, uses grass-fed beef as the default for all beef dishes, and builds sauces from scratch.
Mongolian Beef (gf) — 135
Grass-fed tenderloin, broccoli, spring onions, sesame, steam rice. A clean, protein-rich main that delivers on flavour without the industrial sauces typically found in this dish. The grass-fed tenderloin makes a significant difference in both taste and nutritional profile.
Butter Chicken (gf) — 125
Grass-fed butter chicken sauce, steam rice or potato crispies. House-made sauce, grass-fed chicken, no shortcuts. This is the kind of comfort food that does not require compromise at Mood.
Slow Cooked Beef Ragu — 145
Paccheri pasta, 12-hour slow-cooked grass-fed beef ragu, topped with parmesan. The pasta is made in-house. The beef is cooked for 12 hours. The parmesan is properly sourced. One of the most deeply satisfying dishes on the menu — and one of the most requested.
Lemon-Garlic Shrimp Pasta — 150
Prawns, organic lemon-garlic sauce, red chilli, grass-fed parmesan. Light but flavour-forward — the lemon-garlic sauce is bright and clean, made in-house without cream or seed oils.
Farmers Burger — 145
House ground wagyu, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, aioli, fries cooked in beef tallow. A burger at Mood is a genuinely different proposition: house-ground wagyu, no frozen patties, fries cooked in tallow not seed oils. This is the answer for anyone who wants comfort food that does not compromise on ingredient quality.
Steak & Fries (gf) — 225
Grass-fed grilled tenderloin, beef tallow fries, add pepper or mushroom sauce +20. The premium protein option at lunch and dinner — grass-fed tenderloin flame-grilled with no added oils, served alongside fries cooked in beef tallow.
Dinner: Chef Specials & Evening Mains
Dinner at Mood, available from 6:01pm, adds a Chef Specials section to the standard mains — seasonal, ingredient-led dishes that showcase the kitchen at its most ambitious. This is where the farm-to-table philosophy becomes most visible on the plate.
Miso Butter Cabbage — 125
Grilled cabbage, grass-fed miso butter, black pepper, sea salt. A plant-forward chef special that demonstrates what good produce and good technique can do with a humble vegetable. A genuinely outstanding dish for vegetarians dining at dinner.
Crispy Skin Barramundi — 185
Lemongrass-coconut broth, kaffir lime, fire-grilled bok choy. The standout seafood option at dinner — the lemongrass-coconut broth is made in-house and the barramundi is sourced fresh. One of the most elegantly composed dishes on the Mood menu.
Wagyu & Marrow — 425
Wagyu picanha, bone marrow, asparagus, chimichurri, red wine and marrow sauce. The premium dinner option — a restaurant-quality cut served with house-made chimichurri and a marrow sauce made from the same bone broth that appears on the breakfast menu. Full circle, farm-to-table.
Mood Bowls: The Cornerstone of Healthy Eating in Uluwatu
If there is one section of the Mood menu that best captures what healthy food in Uluwatu can look like, it is the Mood Bowls.

No substitutes are allowed, because every element is chosen to work together.

Locally Sourced: Why It Matters at Mood
The locally sourced label is used widely and loosely across Bali’s food scene. At Mood, it has a specific and verifiable meaning. The Ours Group owns OURS Farm in Bedugul — over 75% of the produce comes from there. For everything else, Mood works with named, trusted local farmers and suppliers who follow sustainable practices.
Practically, this means:
- Vegetables arrive daily from Bedugul — peak freshness, no extended cold storage
- Grass-fed beef from local Balinese suppliers — not imported commodity beef
- Free-range chicken raised on organic and probiotic feed, locally sourced
- Fresh fish sourced locally — the same fish available in the Mood Market
- Pastas, sauces, burrata, nut milks, and juices all made in-house
The Mood organic market stocks the same ingredients used in the kitchen — so you can take the same locally sourced produce home and cook with it yourself.
