Lazy Cats Cafe is a vegetarian restaurant-cafe in Ubud

Skip the beaches of Bali and head to Ubud the next time you’re there for some soul-searching—the inland destination is known for its terraced paddies, gorgeous mountainside resorts, sacred monkey forest, and just as much good food as the rest of this island retreat. If you’ve made Ubud your base for exploration, there are a ton of cafes to check out, including Lazy Cats Cafe, a space that’s a cafe, bar, gallery, and restaurant.

You’d be forgiven if you thought Lazy Cats Cafe wasn’t found in Bali; the space was designed by German architect Alexis Dornier, with an eclectic mix of art, vintage furniture, and greenery. Skylights on the high, sloped roof, as well as a wide open balcony and large mirror, ensure the space is fully lit, and ultra conducive even for digital nomads.
