Wayan's Warung — Restaurant in Kecamatan Abang

March 2023 Food: whatever the others say, their Balinese cuisine was good and freshly made. When I requested additional sambal matah, they really took their time to deliver it...in the sense that they chopped the ingredients and cook it first. I was surprised they took such efforts to deliver my request fresh and warm.

Service: Hands down they were sincerely very nice even to local tourists, unlike other local establishments that smile wide only to bule. I really felt welcome.

Atmos: If my wife weren't tired, I would have wanted to stay longer. There were other guests, but it didn't feel noisy. It felt cozy, like my local bar.

Value for money: For the taste, the service, the portions, the atmos, this one is definitely 5/5.

Yes, I would come back here!

PS: if you come during sunset hours, prepare insect repellant. Mosquitoes in this country are the only reason that can ruin my mood.

December 2023: I came back for more :D. It's the quiet season now, not many guests, but the hospitality was still one of the best in the area. Food was still good. The place needs a bit of tidying up, though. Could use some more...

Good vareity of well cooked food at very reasonable prices. Good arak madu but always add lots of ice as it is very strong and you will be staggering home. DEC 17 2023Just revisited after 1yr . The food is still excellent with good size portions and some of the Best prices in the area. We had grilled mahi mahi and Pepis ikan /Balinese style steamed fish accompanied by mixed vegetables and rice or fried potatoes 50,000 each . We shared fried onion ring super light and crispy 25,000. Mango juice 25,000 . And the arak is still...

This place made me eat my words. I thought the fish would be dry and inedible. Boy was I wrong.

The Fish with Coconut is one of the best fish cakes I have eaten. Fish in Banana leaves, delicious. The Aubergine entree with this tomato based side sauce. Man this was sublime.

Everything about this place was a contradiction. Went in expecting not much left with one of the best meals under our belts.

Do not miss out on...
