There are so many incredible vegan options in the Nusa Islands, just off of Bali Mainland. There are more places offering vegan food in Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan than there are in Nusa Penida. Although we didn’t struggle to find good options on any of the islands. We were initially expecting to eat a lot of local food. However, we were pleasantly surprised at what we found after a bit of digging.
