Waroeng Dpon — Restaurant in Bali

My dinner at Waroeng D'pon was one of those experiences that reminds me why I travel. To the tune of positive and upbeat world music playing in the background, the family that runs this warung has created the most warm and local atmosphere of any restaurant I've been to in Indonesia.

At the end of my meal, my compliment about the Cap Cay was so well-received that they brought out the entire family to return the thank-you. They are such a sweet family and a beautiful representation of what Balinese hospitality is all about.

And I haven't even mentioned how good the FOOD was. Wow. This was the best meal I've had in Bali by far (been here for about 2 weeks), and the prices are way cheaper than most of Ubud. I wasn't even hungry after my Cap Cay and dragondruit-pineapple-watermelon juice, but the food was so good and cheap that I had to order a Gado-Gado to top it off.

After my meal, the friends and cousins of the family hanging outside invited me to sit down and share some drinks and laughs with them.

Waroeng D'pon doesn't have much publicity yet because they just opened in November, but I'm sure that the Ubud community is going to find out about them in no time. Get there before the rush!!

Overall, 11/10...

Think twice about going there. Food not good. Got diarrhea after eatig here. Sorry to write this review I went there to support locals and discover local food. I read reviews which were good so I decided to try! The staff is nice but the food not so well. I asked the staff if they have chicken curry because in Menu they offer only vegetable. They said they can make it for me. Ok. Sounded good! Well what I got was a chicken churry with like 6 kinda big bones in it. Seems they cut the roasted chicken into small peaces. There was NO MEAT IN my meal. I talked to the staff they said the chicken is skiny and apologized and brought me some chicken meat which was ok but kinda dry. Looked like meat from the leg or so. I ate it. I didnt feel really well after it and in the evening I got sick. Maybe I had bad luck but you dont want to have spoiled...

I LOVE Waroeng d’pon so much! I was staying across the road at Bulan Bali hostel and I went to d’pon for Nasi Goren for breakfast and Nasi Campur for lunch. Budi and Koming who run the waroeng are so welcoming and friendly. They were kind enough to invite me to the temple with them and showed me how the locals live. The Nasi Campur is my favourite! I really recommend it. So fresh and healthy. And so reasonably priced! If you want authentic Indonesian food, go to Waroeng D’pon! It’s also in a really lovely part of Ubud - not too busy and touristy, more quiet and...
