The short answer
Clear Cafe: what visitors should know first
A fair choice for mixed groups: the cafe's own site says most dishes are vegetarian, vegan or raw and are marked as such, though seafood is also served. Check whether regular tables are available if floor cushions are hard for older relatives.

Why it matters
Why Clear Cafe is worth your time
For a vegetarian family, the labelled menu is the main thing. In an ordinary Ubud warung you must ask about shrimp paste and stock in every dish; here the menu itself marks which dishes are vegetarian, vegan or raw, which saves time and awkward questions.
Clear is also a reasonable choice for travellers who want variety. Dishes with influences from different cuisines let a group order something familiar in spirit, such as a wrap or a soup, without leaving a plant-based menu.

How to experience it
The cafe's own site describes a healthy, plant-based menu: sushi, sandwiches and wraps, salads, small plates, soups, dishes with flavours from several countries, children's meals and desserts, plus shakes, tonics and specialty coffees. It also says seafood dishes are available, so it is not a fully meat-free kitchen. The menu marks vegetarian, vegan, vegan-option and spicy dishes, so read the labels before ordering.
The room is known for floor seating with cushions. If that is awkward for your group, ask on arrival whether a regular table is free, and avoid the busiest lunch hour. Reviews mentioned in our research say shoes come off at the entrance, so wear footwear that is easy to slip on and off.
A good plan is to share three or four small plates and a soup, then add a dessert. Because the menu labels vegan and vegetarian items, a family with different diets can order from the same list. Confirm anything involving egg or fish with staff, as the cafe offers seafood.
