Warung Jungle — Restaurant in Nusa Penida Subdistrict

When me and my man got here we were alone, within minutes the place was completly packed with locals who were celebrating something. They managed to squeeze in a group of backpackers at our table and we ended up having a really nice time. All of a sudden there was a black out on the entire island and the staff rushed out with candles and the locals all took out their phones with the flash light on.. really shows that the locals are used to black outs. Any who the black out turned in to a feast, everyone was cheering and clapping. We stayed here until late and talked to a bunch of people for hours.

Now to the food! My boo had the grilled red snapper that came with rice, a sauted salad and a ”sauce” consisting of scallions and red- and green chillies. Really basic with the rice but filling and the fish was nicely grilled! Not really used to eating a whole grilled fish though :)

I got the prawns in garlic butter.Ended up being 4 prawns .. good taste but to little! And it came with fries and ketchup which was a weird combo. I think the bbq selection is their speciality and If you wanna go here, then rather try just that! Due to the black out the food and smoothies was delayed, wasn’t really a problem since we had a nice time but the staff did come out with a plate of mangostein as a ”sorry for the delay” gesture...

Fair prices and family run restaurant with good vibes.

This place was one of the higher rated places on the island via GoogleMaps, and we were not disappointed.

We had the fried rice and pineapple juice and we were satisfied after a long day exploring. Our plan is to return for dinner to try their grilled seafood options, which look great based on the photos.

Nusa Penida has limited options in regards to food choices, mostly due to limited access to products and lack of completion. Usually menus on the island only have a few options. After being in Ubud for a while and having endless access to great restaurants, you have to temper your expectations a bit while on Nusa Penida.

I think the island has lots of potential for delicious restaurants to develop. With plenty of undeveloped land to cultivate fresh produce and access to fresh seafood from the surrounding ocean... perhaps it is only a matter of time before the food scene here gets a...
