Why it matters
Why Gong Restaurant Sanur is worth your time
Balinese and Indonesian cooking is the main eating experience in Bali, but it is often built around shrimp paste, chicken and egg. A restaurant with a separate vegan menu lets vegetarians join local cooking without asking at every dish.
It is a mixed restaurant, not a Jain or pure vegetarian kitchen, so use it as a local-food stop rather than a daily base. Ask staff to confirm what goes into the sauces, since Balinese cooking often uses shrimp paste, and a vegan label does not mean the kitchen avoids onion or garlic for Jain diners.

How to experience it
Ask for the separate vegan menu, which a vegan guide describes with dishes such as gado-gado with peanut sauce, vegetable spring rolls and stuffed tofu, with tofu and tempeh as protein. The same guide says a vegetarian menu can be made vegan on request.
Gado-gado often includes egg and prawn crackers in other places, so check how it is prepared here and ask for no egg, no shrimp paste and no fish sauce. Peanut sauce is a good dish for children because it is mild.
Taste at least one local dish, and ask staff about spice levels for older diners.
