This place was honestly amazing. Every single dish was delicious, the fish really stood out incredible flavours and cooked perfectly. Everything we ate was so well balanced and full of flavour. The place has such a lovely, authentic local feel it genuinely feels like being welcomed into someone’s home. Warm, relaxed, and full of soul. One of those meals you don’t stop talking about afterwards. For sure the best meal we had in Bali. Would go back in a heartbeat. Will be thinking about this food for a long time to come! Highly recommend if you want to try beautiful Indonesian food.

Come here hungry. 😋 Home by Chef Wayan in Pererenan is serving some of the best Indonesian food on the island. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared and deeply authentic, showcasing incredible flavour and balance. The satay platter was outstanding perfectly cooked, tender, and paired with flavourful sauces. The Ledok Nusa “corn soup” was a standout surprise, comforting and beautifully layered. The gado gado was fresh and a unique way of presenting a well known dish. The selection of sambals was truly exceptional each one distinct, punchy, and addictive. The restaurant itself is small and cosy, making it perfect for couples or small groups. It’s very clean, professional, and clearly run by a highly experienced chef who takes pride in every detail. There’s also a great drinks list to complement the food. A must-visit if you’re in Pererenan and want high-quality Indonesian cuisine in an intimate setting.

Dined alone & had the 5-course menu, which was not only delicious but also left me feeling full & satisfied. Great introduction to what feels like elevated Balinese home-cooking. I had a lovely time & would be keen to come back with friends to try more of the menu.

The best meal I had in Bali. Chef Wayan came to speak with us about the restaurant, and the staff were attentive and lovely. The food... The food was incredible. We loved getting the five course meal, great value for money and everything was just unbelievable. Excellent cocktails, lovely setting and atmosphere. Everything was just fantastic.
