Fussy Bird is a small restaurant located on one of the lanes off the main street of Ubud. We happened to have food here since it was located near the hotel we stayed - Alas Petulu Cottages.

This restaurant focuses on 'detox' food. They claim to use organic ingredients and incorporates the concepts of healthy and organic diet into their menu. We tried a couple of Indonesian dishes, these tasted excellent. Even the rice we had, had a unique, exotic taste that we did not experience anywhere else.

Please note that they don't serve any alcoholic drinks here.

Vegetarians : This restaurant offers vegetarian variants of most of the dishes. So if you are a vegetarian, and open to trying local dishes, this place will be good for you.

We were staying near this place so we had lunch there on several ocassions. They use ayurveda principles in their meal. Most (if not all) dishes are vegetarian but have a choice with chicken or meat.
We try at least ten different dishes and never were dissapointed. I really liked tempe so I enjoy the tempe lasagna, tempe satay, tempe burritos, quinoa tempe tacos and so on. They also had interesting choices for coffee like cocochino and wide range of detox juices, kombucha and fruit juices.
It was nice to sit on the tables with cushions on the floor because we had a baby crawling everywhere.
Staff were nice and friendly.
Wi-fi was not that good upstairs sometimes but was not a major issue for us.
We enjoyed the relax atmosphere.
You can park motorbike in the front. They have a discount for taxi but I'm not sure how it works, we usually walked.
Very reasonable prices.

I visited this restaurant twice before writing this review.

My first experience was at dinner time. I ordered what was really just a vegetarian nasi campur (with an odd name). It was merely ok, but really lacked any flavour.

On my second visit, I ordered a vege sandwich. It was horrible. It was more like a vege stack between some purple colored mash potato. There was no bread. And it was accompanied by a gross tomato chutney (or was it supposed to be sauce?).

This is barely a vegetarian restaurant; there is plenty of meat on the menu. You can find better vege food at better prices at almost every restaurant in Ubud: or not far away at Lemongrass Warung.

They offer a free cookie if you leave a positive review on tripadvisor, which I believe is the only reason they have so many good reviews here.

The only good thing was their drinks. Made with "fresh" juices, the two I tried were nice, even if extremely overpriced.

I had a raw avocado pie, it was very tasty and quite unusual.

The staff are nice and the prices seem fair. In my opinion, the atmosphere isn't great and the place could be a bit cleaner.

Ok, I came 3 times before writing a review. And I ordered the exact same thing 3 times. Yes it was really really good the First time... I ordered the red rice pancakes, 2 fried eggs, and the mushroom immunity drink.

First time was Amazing! Pancake was light, fluffy, and warm like someone had just made it with some care. Fried eggs, how can anyone get that wrong.. Drink was proper, not watered down (you can see where this one is going..).

Second time, literally the next day. Pancake was dry, cold, and felt like it had been sitting around for a while. Also unlike the first day where the honey was brought on the side, this one was Drenched in honey, as if they would cover the non-freshness with sugar.. Fried eggs, they came omelette style not fried. And the drink was yep, watered down and overly sweet.

Third time here, pancake is way thicker than I needs to be which makes it dry and unappetizing. Eggs, phew at least that's good. And the drink was just average, nothing to write home about.

All in all I really want to love fussy bird. But with their signage that says they want people to be fussy about their food, I hope someone there reads this and tightens up their kitchen. Consistency is what makes an establishment something to write (good things) home about.
