Dayu's Warung — Restaurant in Bali

I went to Dayu's Warung based on reviews. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. My friends and I took off our shoes and entered (as is expected). We opted to eat upstairs. The setting upstairs is peaceful and overlooks the street. It is open but still covered on top. The waitress was nice and attentive. I ate a lot of food in Bali (Canggu, Seminyak, and Ubud) and this was an unfortunate meal. We waited a long time for the meal (45 mins maybe) and again, it was empty. I would say that it was probably made fresh, which is good. I opted to get a chicken sate appetizer, but the peanut sauce was weirdly textured, colored, and flavored. The chicken also had fat pieces in it and was blended with coconut - good taste, weird texture. For my meal, I opted for the mie goreng, which is fried noodles. The noodles were absolutely not fried, soft, and not well flavored. My friends had similar experiences with their meals, so we all left hungry. Good customer service, not so good food - simply...

Last year I came here on my birthday. I have celiacs and need to eat gluten free. The food was amazing!! I ordered way too much, so I took it with me. Since it was my birthday, I wanted to take some cake home, but unfortunately there was none, since it was just the beginning of post-covid and up until then there weren’t any tourists. However, the lovely owner gave me some delicious cookies.

The owner has quite a story how she became the cook that she is and makes the food that she does. It’s all on the first page of her menu and it’s very impressive!

Since then I have promoted her Warung many times. All my friends who went to Dayu’s Warung agree it’s good food. My parents were there 2 weeks ago and enjoyed their cake and smoothies.

The downside is, you can’t enter the toilet without flip flops. Which I’m not font of, since many toilets in Bali aren’t clean or lets say ‘to...

It was an interesting experience in many ways coming here as we'll for one I was already sick with some kind of Bali belly, so didn't eat much but my lay friend seemed to enjoy his meal. As a monk who eats only once a day, albeit mostly vegetarian food, the lack of dairy in the vegan diet seemed to be a contributing factor in not being able to get the 'body is satiated' feeling. I guess veteran vegans know better what types of food groups to go for to get rid of the hunger pains more fully, but for me not having any dairy based drinks to choose from was challenging as the thirst wouldn't abate with just juices. But in general as laypeople it's easier to be flexible with eating times etc so it doesn't really make a difference to the...
