- How it works
- Wayan’s Paon offers a private vegetarian cooking class in Ubud where your booking group chooses Market to Paon or Cooking + Meal, then selects up to five vegetarian-compatible dishes from the public menu.
- Why this page is different
- Private-only + visible 30+ dish library + guest-selected five-dish vegetarian menu instead of one fixed vegetarian set.
- Private format
- Public Wayan’s Paon cooking experiences are reserved for the booking group rather than intentionally mixed with unrelated join-in guests.
- Transport
- Pickup and return are included in the Ubud area. Outside Ubud is also free for bookings of 5+ guests. For 1–4 guests, transport is approximately IDR 300,000–400,000 depending on location.

What we need to avoid or verify

Dietary FAQ
What to confirm before you arrive
Preferences and medical allergies are not the same thing. Tell us the exact requirement before confirmation.
Is the whole class vegetarian?
Your selected five dishes can be planned as a vegetarian menu for your private booking group. Tell us before confirmation so stocks, sambal and condiments can be checked.
Can vegetarian guests still join the market tour?
Yes. Choose Market to Paon and the market visit can focus on vegetables, tofu, tempeh, coconut, spices and other ingredients relevant to your menu.
Is the kitchen allergen-free?
No. This is a working kitchen and zero cross-contact is not promised.
Included hospitality
We include the details that make the day feel generous.

DIETARY PLANNING IN PRACTICE
Build the request around real ingredients and the experience you want.
Choose Market to Paon or Private Cooking + Meal, then select up to five vegetarian-compatible Balinese dishes from the public Wayan’s Paon menu. The generic vegetarian cooking class Ubud intent is answered here through a private, choose-your-menu format.
Choose the experience separately
Market to Paon, Private Cooking + Meal and other compatible private formats keep their own schedule and price. The dietary profile tells us what the selected recipes need to avoid, replace or verify.
Use the dish pages before booking
The menu cards below use the actual dish image and link to the dish page. That lets your group compare ingredients, technique, timing and menu role without jumping back to a generic dietary photo.
Final confirmation is still important
Recipes, packaged sauces, specialty ingredients and shared-kitchen constraints can matter. Send the exact requirement with the chosen dishes so the final feasibility can be confirmed in WhatsApp.
